God damn it’s like I’m staring into the sun. 

It’s Philadelphia, so I’m just going to say everyone deserved exactly what they got. 

College Football Coaches: “See, I’m old school. I-“

Irish guy loves Boston, hates San Francisco, millions SHOCKED. 

It may not take that long. Herro (who the Thunder targeted all along in the draft when it looked like he’d be there at 21) quietly signed his rookie deal while negotiations for Westbrook were going on. Then, suddenly, Westbrook to the Rockets happened. My guess is Jimmy didn’t want Russ, but was cool with Chris Paul.…

iirc this was also before they added bowl games to your season totals so this didn’t get added to his already record-breaking season

Or B) the top tier athletes that normally flock to places like Alabama or Ohio State will decide they’d rather play at USC, Cal, UCLA, or Standford. Fuck with Bama’s talent pool, and I’d bet good money the Alabama state legislature passes a similar law in record time. 

I know he’s a college guy, but what about Clark Kellogg? He grouses at times too, but he at least seems to enjoy Watching And Talking About Basketball. Give me Doris and Clark. 

Which of these happens:

“This kind of fucking thing makes me sick. I’m fucking dis-fucking-gusted with Conor. Anyway, watch McGregor-Khabib 2 this fucking Saturday at-”

Jeff Siegel at Early Bird Rights is a great read, and he took a deep dive on Westbrook’s rebounding that showed their offensive rating was substantially higher when Russ is allowed to grab the rebound so everyone can start running vs letting Adams get it and hand it off to a guard.

Oh, I agree 100% that they are in love with taking terrible shots. I also think some of their pre-all star break success was a bit of fool’s gold. They became the darling dark horse in the west for playing exceptional defense against crummy teams. Once they started playing a team with a pulse, their defense AND…

If I can quibble with just one point, it's that the Thunder have generally been taking more 3s because they have trailed so often by double digits. That's not to excuse a bad strategy even in the face of analytics that say a bad 3 is better than an okay 2, although one does have to wonder if analytics can factor in…

You made all of this up, didn't you?

Okay but what about covetous?

This concludes this week's Jaguars Junction.

As an outsider who's team has played just about every SEC team worth mentioning, it's LSU fans, and it's not even close.

Yes. This one. This is the one.
