The Big Lebowski without a doubt for best Jeff Bridges, and The River for best Bruce Springsteen song. I love songs that come from the heart.

From a piece in the Athletic about the Pels:

“After 23 games, the Pelicans rank sixth in points scored per 100 possessions and third in points allowed per 100 possessions. The only teams in the NBA with a better net rating are Boston, Cleveland and Phoenix”

Which is why I think tonight’s game is going to be fugly.

Yeah, but they probably suck at hitting wide open 3s.

Between the Knicks and Jets, this has been a shitty sports week for the Z-man…

“Mbappe is the Michael Jordan of soccer”

Hilarious (as I’m sure you saw) his coach was shouting at him to get back on D … and then Mbappe scored two goals as if to say, “Nah Brah, we got this.”

” my closest friends are the kids now… ”
Geo, as I descend into being more and more of a grumpy old man, I find that I enjoy the company of kids more than that of adults.

“3. Get improvement from the young players we already have. That’s the disappointing area so far.”

Totally agree with this. It’s all I’m watching for this year, and it’s the source of much crankiness. What I can’t figure out is if Thibs just sucks at putting players in a position to suit their skills, or if our guys just lack skills.

The defense (to the eye test) is just mind-numbingly repetitive. Our guys just switch and then they all do wind sprints at shooters for 48 minutes straight. They never get there. They often foul. It all never works, and I have to believe it just makes everyone cranky — players and fans alike.

Sorry that’s the wrong number, based on avg salary, for THJr. He was about 16.6% of the cap tp begin, ended around 17%.
