    If no one watches, will the game happen? (Who am I kidding, I'll give the game a peek...)

    Team USA 2024

    Like I said, I want more of a red-ass for a 12th guy and a clearer hierarchy on the team, but this is more of a preference. Does it change how Team USA performs in the grand scheme? Probably not. But when you have a short period of preparation I'd prefer to make things just a little easier for...

    Team USA 2024

    When he just doesn't show up like the end of his Spurs stint, they can pick a new 12th man. Seriously though, how uninspired is that pick. I'm in the "make a team" camp as opposed to a group of all stars.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    This will probably be good enough even with limited range to do really well in the league this year. The WNBA has not shifted completely over to the 3-pointer or bust mentality that the men's game is currently in. There are around 100 players in the NBA that average 5 or more 3-point attempts...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yeah with Brionna Jones returning from injury, the Sun have a pretty full roster. They also traded for Moriah Jefferson, who has steadily improved during her 7 years in the league. They were just throwing darts at the wall with their other picks to see who could possibly stick and show out...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    The WNBA draft experts (who they are, I have no idea) thought Leila Lacan could be the second best guard prospect after Clark. She plays in the pro league in France at 19 y.o. I think the French league partially conflicts with the WNBA schedule, so depending on pay who knows her likelihood of...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Even past Caitlin Clark, a lot of talent entering the WNBA tonight. For reference, Alissa Pili is projected to go #13. She scored 37 points against both USCs this year. (Pili is undersized as a frontcourt player and needs some conditioning, but in any case a good barometer of how deep the draft is.)

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    It appears the Pacers will finish 7th all time in team points per game this season (currently at 122.9 ppg). Celtics are 23rd all time at 120.3 ppg, though you could argue this would be a bit higher if a majority of their games were more competitive. Doug Moe and the mile-high three (Alex...

    2024 Masters

    If they pump Scottie's tires one more time and have to say "no disrespect to Bryson" lol. I'm already drunk off this drinking game. Meanwhile Bryson is in the clubhouse saying 'Disrespect taken, sir.'

    2024 Masters

    We need a "Day golf today" thread like the "Day baseball today" under the Sox forum. Feels like the Open Championship week where I can get started in my home office and flip on the TV for a major golf event.

    Tatum or Ant?

    I'm not necessarily seeing the age difference being the deciding factor when comparing a 26 and 22-year old. So what, Tatum has 12 years left in his career and Edwards 16? It's not like they are both older and it is 4 years versus 8 years of production left. Tatum wouldn't have to change much...

    2024 Masters

    Looking at the foliage, it feels like the wind isn't nearly as much a factor as I thought based on the forecast early this week. Scoring should be fine if this is the worst case... Edit: unless it is picking up now?

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    While I'm not concerned about anyone else's money, if I'm in the FO's shoes I go with the still high floor of Jrue rather than either trying to save a buck and gamble some cheap 30th pick performs even a portion of what he does. Or get neither of those and try to sign the devil you don't know at...

    Which accomplishment would you value more?

    I was 1 of 2 to pick the G-League but did so by accident! :p If I was to pull the First Take zag, I'd say that these guys are professionals and are eating and sleeping basketball, as opposed to college when regardless of the heights you are at basketball will be a smaller slice of the pie...

    Thoughts about media types who don't have their own threads

    Nice: if Bryan Curtis has a column or podcast profile of a media personality, I click immediately.

    2024 Masters

    Yup Augusta ain't a links course, so winds can play a lot of havoc with getting around trees etc. With these more difficult approaches that can turn 20 feet birdie putts into 40 foot putts quickly. We'll see if the scores stay higher accordingly Thursday and Friday. But no one can blame the...
