NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Stakesarehigh]

It's almost like going back down to .AAA and hitting .350 with 40 hrs. The competition just isn't consistently there like it was pre-LIV.

He's great, don't get me wrong. Most of these weeks there are maybe 2 or 3 recognizable names to casual golf fans in the top 10.

Eh

We will see

Liv has maybe 5 guys that would consistently push him

Rahm, Smith, Koepka, Dechambeau DJ are the main ones. Hatton never won a tournament.
Even Brooks was basically a major or bust guy.

Not to say that field isn't weaker. It clearly is. It's made room for a few guys to step into the void like Aberg Knapp and the Dunlap kid that fell apart in the last rd last weekend. Aberg especially looks like he's going to be very good.

But yea. The field would be much stronger with the other 30 or so guys.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

It's wild that Koepka has 5 majors but only won 4 other tournaments.

No I didn’t see any of it unfortunately. If the Reds got decent I would get back into baseball pretty quickly. I really think they have a shot at the division this year.

I mean....just sayin'

 

[msgkings322]

They absolutely do! Sign up and get back into them. They have some decent pitching and that young SS is a must see talent

I love De La Cruz, hope he lives up to his potential

I've heard that the ball "sounds different" coming off Ohtani's bat.

He was at bat last night but I was looking down (loading a bowl lol) when he hit his 1st home run as a Dodger. The sound when he hit it made me look up before the announcer said anything or the crowd reacted.

That’s what they said about Bo Jackson and Kirby Puckett, that you could definitely hear the difference.

Seems like a good hire. This AD doesn't seem to play around. Sees what she wants and gets it. She even made Lincoln Riley hire a legit defensive staff which is already paying off big with landing defensive recruits. They just have to make sure they keep them.

As quickly as he was identified and targeted, I think Enfield was out with or without the SMU offer and she knew she wanted Musselman.

Who said Caitlin Clark could play in the NBA?

Was it Draymond?

He wasn’t serious right? Or at least just trying to give her some deserved props.

Jimmer Fredette wasn’t good enough.

Does anyone think she is better than Jimmer?

no chance....I still think a good HS team would win the women's tourney.

Not trying to rip the women as that game Monday was fun to watch.

 

[dtgold88]

Think it would have to be something like golf where male athletic advantages are less important than pure skill.

I think that's why Q may have been right about baseball if one could master the knuckler.

Lost another damn friend today. This time was suicide. At least I assume so. Nothing else makes sense.

Shit is so pointless. Just tears apart the people left behind.

sorry to hear my friend.

Had someone we knew a few years ago die. Kids grew up together and were somewhat close from them playing sports together. First report was she went for a walk and fell off a bridge and died. Then many were speculating suicide...more than just speculation. Obviously tragic regardless but the idea it was suicide with this person is such a shock if it was true.....one just never knows what's going on behind closed doors.

 

[wildturkey]

Caitlin Clark cooked Hailey Van Lith so bad she's sent Van Lith back to the transfer portal

 

[The Q]

The sport most likely to have a woman imo would be baseball


The Knuckleball

Quoting myself on this just becuase fox made a tv show about this and totally whiffed with having the protagonist throw an 83 mph screwnall…which something D3 pitchers basically throw with a 2 seemer with arm side run

 

[dtgold88]

He was legit funny in Trainwreck

He was...I wonder how many takes it took him to question his friend with a straight face why he'd prefer to visit him in Miami over Cleveland.

My best friend lost his gym buddy because of a medical diagnosis

Dude went out on his own terms rather than suffer through what was coming down the pike for him in a quality of life

 

[dtgold88]

That was a bad stretch of a few years. My brother in 2018, my dog in 2019 (sounds silly to include, but a 16 year best friend), then the lock down in 2020.

Man so sorry....and, no, not silly at all to include the pup. They are family.
