I think that was top 25ish on their top 50 list

MajorTrump

They’d been shooting at them for a solid minute

MajorTrump

I liked their spatulas so much, I bought the company.

MajorTrump

Nah. Booker was awesome all tournament. Ant plays a different role.

MajorTrump

Book slots into the 5th spot after the 4 I mentioned. He’s better off-ball and he’s better at hitting shots when he isn’t consistently shooting. Ant needs some momentum to really shine, but Book is so mechanically sound that he’s money even when he’s cold.

MajorTrump

People might rag on Ant for some turnovers in this game but everybody else was getting smothered, too. I don’t think he played bad, but if you’re Kerr you have to play Curry/Lebron/Durant/AD as much as possible this game.

MajorTrump

You really don’t think the playcall was to get KD in iso? He got screened, passed to Ant, and was supposed to get the ball back

MajorTrump

People gonna blame Ant but KD called for that pass

MajorTrump

It’s literally hindsight. Tatum had been terrible in a lot of their other games while Ant had been phenomenal. The coaches literally did exactly the right thing, which was to put in the players they thought gave them the best chance, then change the lineups afterwards based on how they looked. Ant didn’t look good, so they put him back on the bench. The lineup they put out there came back by like 13 in one quarter.

Tatum could have been all the way down in Antarctica for this game and nobody would have cared except people who haven’t been paying attention to how lackluster his entire tournament has been.

MajorTrump

Saying Ant needed to not play is hindsight. He was shooting like 60/50 in the other games. Yeah, he had a few bad turnovers and gambles in this game, which is why he got pulled for a good portion of the game.

Given the way the game played out, I don’t understand the criticism of the coaching staff. They put in the right players to get the win.

MajorTrump

Only if we can watch Wemby and Kevin Durant play Beach Volleyball

MajorTrump

I can forgive whiffing on Thielen when he played college ball at Mankato but Diggs going in the 5th is an indictment on every single scouting department in the league

MajorTrump

More than that, it’ll be the lens of “This was the President who pulled out of NATO, leading to further Russian aggression in Europe. He also weakened our allies in Asia, leading to conflicts with China, who has previously been held at bay.”

Kids are gonna find “made in Taiwan” products and post them on social media like we do with “Made in East Germany”.

MajorTrump

I’m not a Trump supporter, I just played trumpet in college and thought it sounded cooler to shorten it. I honestly forgot I was logged into this account on my phone since I have a different one now.

MajorTrump

He’s a 53 year old man with children who hate him, no partners who have stuck around, and has never struggled with anything. He projects his unhappiness on others and can’t fulfill himself with his money. So he’s either trying to make everyone else just as miserable as he is, or he’s trying to chase the tiny doses of brain chemicals he gets by trolling online. Either way, he’s not stupid, just evil and sad.

MajorTrump

He’s not a conspiracy theorist. He knows he’s lying. He just doesn’t care because he knows he can use his cult of personality to preserve his wealth.

MajorTrump

Rob isn’t a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant though

MajorTrump

Not 4 of them

MajorTrump

Spo is an assistant, Kerr has championships

MajorTrump

Point being that Lebron played with Wade for years and can help Ant figure out the same methods

MajorTrump

There is literally nobody better for him to be around than Spoelstra and Lebron for that. Sometimes you gotta fuck up before you can learn the right way. I’m confident he’ll have a lot to take away from this type of game with the coaches and players around him.

MajorTrump

No ethical consumption under capitalism. Buy what you want, you can’t vote with your wallet in our current economy.

MajorTrump

Best jersey in basketball last year

MajorTrump

That would make a lot of sense. He starts talking about the moons of Exandria with that cobalt soul nerd at the library and it seems like he was potentially pitching that to them as a hook.

MajorTrump

Yup. Chris Thomasson, who players and coaches hated for his whole tenure. I recall Mike Zimmer telling him (deservedly) that he doesn’t give a shit about Chris’s opinions.

He is now in Denver covering the broncos.
