God, I hate this replay shit. Not only because of the things in this article that are correct, but also because the opposing side has such a pedantic and immovable opinion about their side. Like, literally yes, the ball went off of Moretti. Fine, nobody is arguing that. But it completely ignores the following:

I was talking about Vince, who reportedly has sold $270 million in WWE stock to fund the XFL: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/04/02/vince-mcmahon-sells-272-million-in-wwe-stock-to-fund-the-xfl/

hasn’t he already sunk $250 million into that lemon? Mama mia. 

Yeah, no doubt. I mean, LOOK at the roster the Spurs had last year. They basically had one (1) above-average offensive player in the regular rotation last year. When you don’t have the same explosiveness to get open that you once did, and you’re surrounded by guys who are complete non-factors from 3, you’re not going…

There’s a lot of factors. I went into it on a post in this thread, but he was VERY good from the 2013-2015 seasons, especially 2015 where he was an elite 3 point shooter while being a borderline All-Defense candidate. But a combination of health/roster construction/Pop’s faith in him deteriorated rapidly starting in…

This is 100% part of it. By the end, it felt like a relationship that just needed to be over. More than anybody, Danny seemed to be on the business end of some Very Intense Pop Coaching. Specifically, more than once he completed the On-Court Fuck Up/Quick TO By Pop/Hitting The Bench While Getting Yelled At gauntlet in…

Danny Green’s resurgence this year has really been something to watch. Let me be clear: I’m a Spurs fan. I LOVED having Danny Green on our team. Heck, he was ALMOST Finals MVP in 2013 and was a crucial contributor on both sides of the ball for most of his time in San Antonio.

All the people in these comments going “so what he took a Student Loan, what’s the big deal?” or “he could have gone somewhere else under scholarship and didn’t, his fault” are SO close to getting the point here. And yet, so far. 

The early-mid 2000s were a weird time in the NBA for many, many reasons. This included. 

the best Manu look. The long flowing hair but you could SEE the bald spot beginning to form. A true icon. 

Ha, yeah, that series was a complete rock fight. There was not a game that both teams broke 100 points. Just once in the WHOLE series did a team score 100+ (Detroit got to 102 in their Game 4 blowout).

the long outlet that catches the other team off guard to kill clock is quietly one of the most exciting plays in basketball. My personal favorite is the Robert Horry inbounds to Manu to ice Game 7 of the 2005 Finals.

These are good points. And lol don’t I know it about how far amateurism extends. I was a paid member of my school’s newspaper staff and covering the football and basketball team for actual money that came from the dang university always felt weird.

This is good info! I genuinely did not know. I was mostly basing this off of my own somewhat limited experience with pep band. I was in the marching band my freshman year in college (it was technically a PE course, so we were compensated that way). For the pep band, I had a few pals who did it, but it was mostly all…

yeah, that cheese went straight to the Music Department at Ohio State. I’m sure it will be kept in the coffer for the Pep Band for future travel/instrument needs, but I don’t think Sarah the flutist is getting her 200 ducats for masquerading as a Colgate [checks google] Raider.

You’re GODDAMN RIGHT

Yeah, uh, just statistically “the antithesis of Brett Gardner” is probably an All-Star, so yeah, give me a few Nega-Brett Gardner’s in my outfield.

God, this is so stupid. Fundamentally the PI call is a broken penalty in the sport. Nothing can swing momentum more. Either completely re-do the rule (maybe bring in the college rule where it’s just 15 yards from the LOS, at least), or go full “we’ll call all penalties from the review booth”. An egregiously blown PI…

Who else is fully prepared for the Mets to trade him for 70 cents on the dollar, only for him to win the AL Cy Young?

Paul George is definitely playing through a fairly significant rotator cuff injury, right? That’s the thing with OKC--it’s a long season, teams go through swoons and boons. But if PG is gonna be hampered by this shoulder for the rest of the year, uh, it’s not gonna be a pretty end to the season.
