Wow, how are things there after the election?

I’m pretty confined to my hotel and the arena the venue is at but it’s def a hot topic. None of our Brazilian skaters had a press conference the other day and said they wouldn’t answer any questions about it because it’s such a touchy topic. Friend of mine who’s a Brazilian pro skater wore a Brazilian soccer getup for Halloween just cus he had everything already and posted a pic with his kids in it and he was getting hella hate for it because apparently the soccer jersey with the blue stripe or something is the equivalent of wearing a maga hat and he had no idea since he wasn’t up to date on it since he lives in the states. But I haven’t really seen much commotion other than normal “city of god” stuff. Friend got mugged thinking he went in an Uber that just happened to be a random car. Car took him far from where he was going and ended up getting jumped and when he ran to the cops for help they tried to rob him by taking him to an atm at a store. During which someone asked him if he was ok he said no. Random person called him an Uber and he ended up getting away. Def could have been the other way….. man was lucky af.

Thanks for sharing!

Stay safe!
 
For those losing their mind last February, do you still want to undo the RoCo/Norm for Winslow/Keon trade now?

I didn't think it was a great talent:talent trade, but didn't mind the move. Even as a defender of the trade, it looks like I was wrong for not defending it harder.

I've come around on it being a surprisingly solid trade and who knows it might look incredible in a few months time. I love Winslow and Keon is growing right before our eyes!

I never said that I had things scouted out as well as Cronin. It seemed like a move that brought back too little, too early. There is a likelihood now that Cronin having been a scout and a cap expert knew that Keon was worth more than how the Clippers valued him and that Justise if healthy could both defend (which we all knew) and run an offense. If those likelihoods are correct then Cronin made a good trade. Obviously the CJ/Larry trade was only good if Cronin knew that the Pistons would trade Grant regardless of if the pick conveyed or became the Bucks 2025 pick.

As everything turned out Josh, Jerami, Justise and Keon were well worth CJ, RoCo, Larry and Norm. So that's a great job by Cronin in hindsight and there's no reason to think he didn't know somethings we didn't.

I love all of this content but object to the idea that Justise has ever been a guard. In the NBA that he came into he was a small forward and in the NBA that has evolved since then he would be considered a swing forward, being able to play the 3 or the 4.
 
I missed the game tonight, worked the Winterhawks game.
Was gonna watch the replay, but I do not think watching the game could make me as happy as I am reading the comments on this thread.

(Dam, I sure miss roco and all he provided, and Cj dribbling the clock down again and again.)

This is for @THE HCP for if you see this later but does the audio of the announcer go out just a fraction of the second before the live video to make it seem like they're more on top of the action or is it completely synced up?

It should always be synced....back in the day there would be a small delay, but not much anymore. Unless you have a couple extra stops along the way, like out new analytics guy who is in Austin. First couple games we had a 4 second delay....we cleaned that up though I believe.

Glad you mentioned the analytics guy.
I really do not like him. Not surprising 'cos I'm not an analytics guy anyway, but he is annoying.
My 2 cents.

It's just impressive that Lamar, more so than Calabro shares insights to the play in real time that I only realize after he says it or right when he says it. National broadcasters say shit all of the time several seconds after I've said it to friends watching with me or thought it to myself if watching the game on my own.

I guess that's why Lamar is a color commentator for a team at the highest level of basketball without ever playing an NBA game and I'm just me. Thanks so much for the insight sir. I always appreciate it.

Man, can’t wait how GP2 helps this team
Click to expand...
I rarely agree with you because you're so often hyperbolicly over reacting but yeah having another dawg like GP2 has shown he is on defense, that can also both cut to the hoop and make an open three on offense will be huge for this team. Wow, if coached correctly (and I have no reason to think that Chauncey won't) this team without any moves and even more so with the right moves at the deadline, could be a contender.

Fuck! Chauncey and Joe are for real and they understand something that has been frustrating so many of us for around a decade. They understand what it takes to put around Dame to win at the highest level. Obviously come April, May or hopefully June we'll see what this all means but it is definitely exciting that having played us once before the Suns lost to us again without Dame and Ant.

I think it's pretty obvious that Cronin listens to Billups. I don't think that was the case with the previous GM and coach

I think it's pretty obvious that both Cronin and Billups have been watching Dame for a decade (like all of us) and wondering what the fuck Neil and Terry were doing around him because he's obviously one of the best to ever do it and they never surrounded him with a roster or a system that capitalized on that.
