This is all just playing karmically. I respect it. Also had De Cuyper buried on my bench.

I was kind of nervous about this. Wish that spurs game had been after arsenal's. Feels like collectively we were a bit too over the top mocking other teams before we'd played our toughest game of the season.

Haha, yeah, no real argument here. Can we pick their current play by play announcer?

Mainly because he played there plenty long and was also an important (but not big) piece of the actual best teams in franchise history.

That Hornets pick is rough. Not saying I have a better pick, but oof. I had to double check how long Zo and Glenn Rice played there but I'm not sure either played there long enough. Also forgot Vlade was there for a couple seasons back then. Can I interest you in Muggsy there?

Yeah for the Nets I was definitely excluding the ABA there, so Dr J definitely becomes relevant with the ABA era. Toronto is a funny one with the best season by a player clearly being Kawhi but that was so short lived. Skeets from No Dunks says Lowry is the greatest Raptor of all time.

Kareem I actually think had more team success than Giannis over a decent window (like 6-7 seasons?) and if I have heard basketball historians correctly was just generally understood to be the most dominant force in basketball in the early 70s. Giannis was a top 5 player for a few years but not that.

Ha, yeah, Dwight is gonna be a funny one historically. He gets less respect than he should mostly because no one liked him. Clyde vs Dame I went with Dame because I think he had more All NBA nods and a few awesome playoff moments that I don't recall Clyde having although Clyde did make a Finals.

Peak or longevity when it isn't obvious? Magic: Shaq Hawks: 'Nique Clippers: CP3 Kings: Big O Heat: DWade Nets: Kidd Suns: Nash Bucks: Kareem Blazers: Dame (longevity), Walton (peak)

Yeah, I agree. I think Infantino gets to take his bribes that the American broadcasters are definitely sending him and then he gets to have his cake and eat it, too. And American corporations are definitely in the blame pie to a significant degree.

100% agree with this take, but also think multiple things can be true at once. American broadcasters are probably also giving infantino amazing bribes and he's taking them to say Yes instead of No. He gets to eat his cake and have it, too. He gets his bribes and Americans get blamed.

Respect the take but I gotta disagree. Flopping is a problem for me in the NBA. But it is hard to referee in the moment and I don't want them doing more reviews during games so I would personally want to see some kind of review and punishment after games. They used to fine players but NBPA liked it.

What do you mean? Let them get more reps and rebuild confidence for England before it matters again for Arsenal, ha. Of course, this is coming from someone rooting against England since I saw Kane's comments about trump earlier this morning.

I know we all hate the hydration breaks in the World Cup, especially for the indoor games, but what do the actual players think of the hydration breaks?

Gonna see more of a Zubi, Eze, Odegaard combo? If Odegaard can also hold up. Hopefully Zubi rested up enough to get back to early last season form.

Honestly, the idiot orange pedophile has made a total mess of a situation for the #USMNT and given them no good scenarios. Either a previously-playing-like-shit Belgium is energized to beat them or the USMNT cheated and don't deserve to get to the quarterfinals.

Also...I WANT IT ALL!!! I know Arsenal is flush with cash but assume we'll be selling a couple players as well to balance the books. I'm obviously not a football finance expert.

Didn't PSG just sign another winger and still have Kvara? Is Barcola gonna wanna stay or will he be annoyed at PSG setting an astronomical price?

If we only get Barcola and Kroupi Jr I would be ecstatic... Well, probably need to reinforce our back line just in case, too.

I didn't get a chance to watch with any kind of technical eye, but I would have guessed Bruno at least would have been solid. Were casemiro and paqueta just that bad or was Bruno also complicit?

The #USMNT fans should join the chant! A potential moment of unity.

Dylan Harper is a rookie in the Western Conference Finals against the reigning champs on the road and had a 20/10/5 with 7 steals?!?! #NBASky

Nobody is trying to intentionally cheap shot or hurt someone in this game right now. It's a foul, go shoot the free throw and keep it moving. This game is too awesome for this nonsense.

I still think it's hilarious that the team that has done well the last 2 regular seasons and got embarrassed in the playoffs traded for the player that always does well in the regular season and gets embarrassed in the playoffs. I get why with Garland's repeated injuries but it still makes me laugh

You're right about that. And I'll enjoy watching him figure out how to not take advantage of the opportunity in round 2 or 3.

Haha, Harden's best shot. Hilarious. Only if Donovan and Mobley carry him and his concussion-impersonating performances during any game 6's and 7's along the way. 🤣🤣

Steph better learn more about the mechanics of shooting a basketball before trying to take 12 threes in a game again. 🤣

Is there a way to allow for being more strict with calls both ways but the penalty for a defensive foul is not a penalty kick? Not sure what. A free kick closer in than a corner but still outside the box? Just makin shit up but if they really want to solve it someone wil have to think of something.

Wes @wammerman.bsky.social · 14/03/2026
This is the crux with officiating corners and why it has become a wrestling match. The penalty against the defense is disproportionately crushing, so they'll never want to call it.

Arsenal has scored 26 goals in their last 10 games... Doesn't look like that much of a problem.

That feels like a bit of a leap to me. An understandable leap to be sure given the state of other sports, but I don't think a guaranteed one. I'm not suggesting time outs, just stopping the clock until players get up or the ball is put back in play.

Sorry, I know it is so anathema to football culture, but with how much time wasting tactics causes problems and bad situations, I just keep coming back to, why don't they just stop the clock? Faking injuries would no longer help, no raging about inconsistent card giving, none of that would matter.

@stubhub.bsky.social I can prove I never got the tickets I bought, can prove AXS never sent a confirmation email of the transfer, can prove the venue Box Office had no tickets transferred to my email and you denied a refund after the agents refused to even look at the proof of the lack of tickets.

@houston-rockets.bsky.social you should check in with your ticket org, AXS. I'm trying to get tickets to the game tonight but AXS is apparently on vacation as a whole company and not releasing tickets. How does a ticketing company not provide support around the holidays?! #Rockets

Probably true, especially for teams with big changes. And teams always ebb and flow through the long season. I'm confident the Rockets will turn it around, but it certainly is rough, ugly sledding at the moment.
