NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

If it is truly high ankle I'd be shocked he plays next week. There's tough and then there's you can't move.

I bet he plays.

Just almost zero chance that he plays well.

At least by Mahomes standards.

Yeah, that part's gonna suck. It'd also be a crappy way to end the season...

If he does play I'm hoping he doesn't make the injury worse...

Sometimes people are too tough for their own good.

That Murphy vs Andrade beating was as bad as Nunes vs Pena 2.

I missed all the fights, I’m on a cruise. I guess I didn’t miss much if it was a shitshow

The Hill Texeira fight was pretty good

Yep. That was a tough one to watch. A real conundrum for the referee. She was clearly completely outclassed, but at the same time, like Pena, she never stopped fighting back or defending herself.

I forget which commentator it was, but one of them said her corner should have thrown in the towel. I tend to agree with that. Murphy's best chance was to get her on the ground, but she never seemed to commit to it and never really came close.

With the way it ended, I think there's going to be a Figureido/Moreno 5 (the Rocky movies of MMA)...my son says "No way".

It was Cormier who said it. Also, Deveison is moving up to bantamweight. I don’t see him and Moreno fighting again. Bantamweight is where Deveison should be. He has to cut too much weight to make 125.

Now that’s a day. Eagles 38-7 to sweep the Giants on the season and then the Sixers finish up a 5-0 road trip coming back from down 21 with Embiid and Harden resting.

Sixers wake up today the 2 seed in the East. Tip of the cap to the Cavs for beating the Bucks.

Gonna be a tight race for 2-4, 2-5. Injuries likely to impact results. Not confident in the Cavs right now. Sixers are playing top 3 seed basketball right now though

18-5 since Pass First Harden came back from injury. I’ve seen this before though. Just want to fast forward to the playoffs. This team can’t accomplish anything in the regular season outside of trying to get home court in as many series as possible. It’s all about the playoffs for a team that just can’t get out of the 2nd round.

More excited about my football team. When they put it all together and play like they played last night, they can’t be beaten.

Who is your preference to protect your bet next week vs the Eagles? You pulling for the Cowboys or the Niners?

That's right. Forgot he said that he was moving up.

The 9ers are definitely the better team.

Philly being though makes this pretty easy. We should be able to set up a straight forward bet through the SportsHoopla bookie next week.

I’ll need an assist on that. I’ve never set it up. I don’t even know what we said in terms of the total. I have up to 500 sports SportsHoopla dollar things to wager.

I can try to do it next week if you want

Don’t think we ever set an official total. You name it!

49ers

500 then? Just let me know what you need me to do after you get it rolling. Thanks for doing that.

49ers

I think the 49ers are the more physical team. That negates a distinct advantage the Eagles have in nearly every matchup. It will be a dog fight on the line of scrimmage in a Niners Eagles matchup.

Yeah, very good matchup.

Dallas just always seems to get in their own way at the wrong time. But I do think they are as talented as either Philly or SF. Just not as consistently good.

Agreed. Cowboys are no slouch. The game probably comes down to turnover margin (not a real bust out prediction there) and in that regard no one has been better at turning people over on defense and protecting the ball on offense as the Niners have been during this 11 game winning streak.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I missed the main fights. Too tired to pay for them. I got every fight right on DK.

But i didn't have Hill who had 232!?! Sig strikes as captain so that cost me first.

He whopped Glover’s ass.

There were several times I thought that fight should have been stopped too.

But, then Teixiera would actually land a punch that stung the shit out of Hill.

It was his final fight.

So, let him go out on his shield.

All the fights are already up on YouTube.
