Operating income is profits not revenue, and a TV network has (I assume) very low marginal costs, so a modest decline in subscribers can basically erase your profits.

“Anyone who wants to get rich just has to bet Jarred McCain will set a new career high tonight. Easy peasy.”

You’d lose, because that’s not his name. 🙂

That doesn’t make sense… how could 13% of subscribers cost 74% of revenue? Were they on the ultra platinum plan?

Look, just like the Knicks!

Ten games into the season, the Warriors are playing 13 players between 28.3 (Stephen Curry) and 12.4 (Gary Payton II) minutes per game, with all of those players appearing in at least half of the games.

Hollinger notes that Jarred McCain, a Sixers rookie guard, has been playing great so far (27 against Charlotte). So look for him to smoke us tonight.

FWIW the only strongly worded conclusion I’m making is that Leon’s work since the OG trade (beginning with the Bojan trade) has been shoddy and reminiscent of his terrible 2021 season.

I still think the team will get better, settle into the mezzanine area, and provide moments of joy (perhaps as soon as tonight when KAT fucks up Embiid). But I’m more than willing to state for the record today this team will not live up to the exuberant expectations of the preseason, and that it is well short of where a team with that is up against the second apron and has no tradable picks left should be.

My family and I are now making small offerings to various deities, requesting that tonight be the Mikal Bridges breakout game. 25+ points and all the requisite box score stuffing. We are not particularly good people, but we are trying.

Personally, I feel guilty that it took me this long to realize we’re doomed.

Be careful what you wish for. He’s 50% on 8 attempts so far, which should be very unlikely for a guy who usually shoots in the upper 80’s… unless his shot is broken.

It would be confirmatory of the broken shot shown by the eye test if the sample was a bit bigger. As it stands, it’s certainly suspicious.
