And Raven, I think this Reacher season is better than the last couple. I generally don’t find the show’s sense of humor funny, and come for the creative violence. And I think the fight scenes this year are a level above anything they’ve done previously — certainly on this consistent a basis.

ever heard of Seedance 2.5?

that, plus Higgsfield AI, run by Claude…seems you can make about anything now…better yet, useful prompts and the thing does the thing…crazy…

HAL makes YouTube sitcoms now…and, they have an audience…

best AI creation I’ve seen yet: the entire story of Robert’s Rebellion, an animated story

mentioned it a while back, not only will we get Winds of Winter and a Dream of Spring – it’ll appear as live action media…yep…

So is Draymond Green.

Willis Reed was 6’9″ So is Bam Adebayo.

The funny thing is that everyone makes it seem like Jalen Brunson is the only guy who dominated his position while being undersized. Willis and Dave were extremely intelligent, super-athletic, tough as nails, and very polished for their time. They were plenty big enough and would have been just fine in today’s game, assuming that they could benefit from all the advantages that today’s players have access to.

KAT was clearly the last piece of our puzzle, and when that comes available, you don’t worry about the price some previous team allotted that player

For sure, ess-dog. But we were talking about KAT’s next contract, which he wants indexed to that previous team’s valuation.

This team can only afford to have KAT at 35% and OG at 25% bc Brunson is at 22.5%.

When Brunson goes up to 35%, we kinda need them to flip places.

That’s where the 1 & 1A thing comes into play, and why I’m (perhaps harshly) pointing out how KAT was a lot closer to Chet in the finals than Brunson. We are not a team of two stars.

The only way you can pay all of these guys is if you’re in a really large market and make lots of revenue. Alas, we’re not like those rich teams in Cleveland and Phoenix and Boston that paid huge tax bills. We’re just trying to get by here in small town New York City.

At least we can all afford to go to games.

Too bad KAT’s such a lousy #2.

That sounds pretty damn near perfect. Thanks, Raven.

Just for fun I did Dave DeBusschere vs. OG. DD was way better in counting stats (except steals and blocks), OG killed with things that ended in %.

And Dave was just 6’6″. Next they’ll be telling me Willis was only 6’10″…
