@82

The only time I watch Fox News is if I am making an effort to get the a perspective on an issue that is different from what I am hearing from all the mainstream news outlets with a left wing agenda (which is most of them).

CNN is more of the media arm of the DNC than an unbiased news organization.

The Washington Post is currently (not always) more of the media arm of the intelligence community.

The NY Times is some weird combination of self loathing extremist leftists and commie lovers. There are some great sections in the NY Times, but an honest or competent discussion of politics is not one of them.

I’d comment on MSNBC but I can’t bring myself to watch it at all.

If you are getting your information from any of those sources (and I include ABC, NBC, and CBS in that) you are getting spoon fed various combinations of incompetence, spin, lies, and purposeful deception. If you find any of them to be good, it’s only because they are spoon feeding you what you want to hear and think.

The closest thing to real news anywhere in the mainstream is Barrons but only because they are mostly about economics and making money. In that area it’s easy to be wrong, but they are at least making a good faith effort.

The same is not true of CNBC for example. CNBC is an extension of the Wall St rape and pillage machine trying to bring in new suckers to buy overpriced and junk securities that will make the rich richer.

Did Kerr know he had a timeout? Fuck the heck, dude?

Why do people think Collin Sexton is good defensively? His steal and block numbers are really low, like red flag low. He also has a terrible dws/40 and dbpm. His numbers are actually worse than Young who has decent steal and block numbers. On top of that his assist numbers are bad. I like his grit and his work ethic and with a mid-round pick he’d be worth the gamble but nothing in his numbers jump out except free throw rate and pts.

I would never take credit away from Phil for drafting KP and Frank. He deserves it. Good job on those picks, Phil!

Surprised at Woody not coming back. Figured he’d come aboard, wait for Fizz to get canned and swoop back in.

I think he thinks he’ll have a better chance vulturing a job from a brand new NBA coach.

The one thing I don’t mind about Sexton is that he was coached by Avery Johnson and he seemed to turn around that Alabama team. I doubt he’d be the end of the world, but yeah I’d rather a wing.

Just need a solid basehit at 9, I don’t wanna swing for the fences

kp’s work ethic is something i’m not a huge believer in… he hasn’t exactly improved much since he entered the league… and had the same conditioning issues a month or two into the season…..

his post game was mildly improved but he didn’t really add much to his offensive repertoire…. he seemed a tad bit stronger but that’s really about it….

maybe questioning his work ethic is out of bounds… he may or may not be working out hard… but he is certainly not working out smart… at least thus far….

They don’t measure his impact on defense. He’s not just above average on defense. He’s VERY good.

When discussing KP on defense, I think we need to separate the components of defense. KP is at outstanding rim protector. But he’s a terrible defensive rebounder. That weights against his overall contribution on the defensive end.

I see no reason for Cleveland to take Michael Porter Jr unless he signs with an agent from Klutch Sports. Porter Jr shouldn’t even work out for Cleveland.

Stein:

The Suns have brought former Knicks coach Mike Woodson to Phoenix to discuss joining new coach Igor Kokoskov’s staff as top assistant, league sources say. @Gambo987 said on his radio show today that the decision has already been made to hire Woodson

No Woody Part 2, it seems. If this were a healthier franchise, I wouldn’t mind him as an assistant. With our front office, there would always be the danger of Dolan wanting Woodson to replace Fiz at the first sign of trouble.
