    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I’d be for it if they advertised and forced the NBA to address it. It ruins players and the game. I watch significantly less ball. Only way Embid ever led the league in scoirng. Only way Lebron set the points record.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Tatum, Embid do too. Except SGA is good at it. I give him credit for selling well. This discussion comes up everytime we play them.

    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    There's that trademark emotional insecurity. I don't need to prove you wrong. You do that all by yourself. Don't worry someday, AI will improve, then you'll be able to talk to the big kids.

    Fess Up: Hardcover, Paperback, Audio Book, or Kindle/e-book?

    Do they make these as readers? Just started finding low light reading getting difficult. And to your OP, as an avid reader. I agree with the hardcover. Paperback is acceptable, if it is substantially cheaper, or hard to get a hardcover. I will not personally use kindle. I will buy books I want...

    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    Except the OP was not speaking about a genereic number 1 pick; the OP was, speaking about specific number one picks. No one in the world would have said Tim Duncan was a stupid pick. Even if he didn’t turn out. He was still clearly the best one to pick number one that year. David Robinson had...

    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    Interesting you pick those 3 as examples. Yes they all sucked, but all 3 were surprise picks. And all were widely panned. Only Kandi was even on the radar for #1 pick. Bennet and Brown drew massive criticism from the get go. Tim Duncan was the obvious pick. He was considered better than...

    Interesting baseball stats

    Hopefully it’s the curse of the Black Sox! They tarnished our game. Landis’ punishment kept the curse off; now it is back!

    Ace Bailey did not meet the hype. Harper looks like he is the real deal. Will put in the work. Bailey is certainly talented, but perhaps he hasn’t figured out professionalism yet. I think Harper certainly knows what he needs to do.

    Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB

    And its the MLB and plauera were stuck on far more issues. Seems niave to add another bargaining criteria when they where having difficulty - that is still going, We are stuck with Rob Manfred because he was suppossed to finally settle issues lingering from that era.

    Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB

    I would lunp the Astros with the PED guys. There atoricious to me. Then there are the rule benders. Whitey Ford, Perry, Nolan Ryan. The Mets routinely busted Nolan Ryan with the astros for cutting balls with a bottle cap. The difference in my head between what I don’t like is the...

    Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB

    Do a bonds stat comparison with Babe Ruth. Then his early years were dead ball era. No lights. The pitchers could legally throw spit balls. The bats were not nearly as nice. Look at Ruth’s OPS. His record is sick. Don’t forget He owned the Scoreless pitching record He completely changed...

    Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB

    Most of the Stuff written about Cobb has recently been argued to be erroneous bullshit, Especially the racism stuff. Apparently there was a bunch of fictitious narratives passed on about him. Ty Cobb died having planned to file suit to prevent publication of one book bearing his name. He...

    Draymond Green: The agenda to continue to keep making me look like an angry black man is crazy.

    I think letting Draymond go off, is the NBA channeling the entertainment aspect of WWE (I don’t mean any physical portion). A little drama, adds fuel. I may disagree in it’s necessity, but I see it as they need some heel. Pairing one with Steph is even better. Steph often has a very soft, easy...

    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    IMHO it looked we tried to strategically push the pace. Which we did vs the Lakers too. That can get this squad rushing mentally. They looked like it on every 3 (to me) Just a little too fast. Thus, The game doesn’t really worry me. I didn’t feel like it was the Warriors won via superior O or...

    Which Gophers did you miss on badly - you thought XYZ Gopher would be much better or much worse?

    Ihnen, he had a shot, and that Euro that he could do from the 3 pt line into a layup. I kept thinking he just doesn’t know he’s good. The indecision in his play was almost palpable. To me that what did him in; a split second hesitation everty thing he did. I’d have to say that a mental...

    All things Players Coming and Going.

    Got to like that he delivered the biggest non-Brady Martin hits of the tournament. For a small player thats even more impressive.

    Michigan Back In The Headlines

    A new penalty should be an NIL penalty. The School’s budget of $22 M would be then cut by some percentage for a number of years. Plus the old stuff. And during said period, money paid outside that system would come with sport specific playing bans. I.e. cannot play games in said sport.
