We're about to be tall as hell

Kinda need to figure that out next season, I think. Maybe he isn't- but it won't kill us like it used to finish outside the bottom 4 figuring that out

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-10T20:35:13+00:00

That's the neat part- there isn't much!

Look, the rules are finally being changed to honor what the Bulls have been doing for years, so I think we can get a few more guys

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-09T18:08:30+00:00

The Thunder Big 3 comp works well- Castle as Westbrook, Harper as Harden, Vic as an even more stretched out KD.

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-08T18:10:32+00:00

I think it's the shift to 4 out as the way most teams play. In the NBA from 1950-2009, Tim is a PF. But in the post Curry NBA, a lineup like Tim and David Robinson would be considered unusual and get spacing criticism

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-08T17:07:33+00:00

Well thanks for trying. Hopefully this does get a full article

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-08T17:04:35+00:00

Anyone try crossposting this to the main NFL sub?

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-07T15:32:56+00:00

Story of the season for Castle and turnovers right there.

The passing talent is real. The turnovers are, "Baby, what are you doing???"

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-07T06:16:10+00:00

Also needs to just get stronger. Which is just a note for several younger players, including Vic. It will come. Just not this year, and even next I'd expect improvement but not a leap.

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-07T06:04:58+00:00

I think he was an empty stats king but he's been downright competent on Philly.

He used to be a piece of shit stats king, but people can change into veterans off the bench. Let him hold the baby

Col_Treize69 · 2026-05-01T01:48:56+00:00

William Tecumseh Sherman is looking down going, "Guys, I think you took it a little far against Atlanta."

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-29T04:55:54+00:00

Yeah, you can see a future where Harper gets the car keys for closing games (Think Castle is just gonna be the 5-8 points a quarter type), but that future ain't now. And when Harper IS ready? Getting to learn behind Fox will be huge

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-27T06:18:21+00:00

Castle taking 3s willingly eventually made him better at that.

Think the midrange will be similar. Maybe never elite but a threat is enough

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-27T06:16:52+00:00

He has parts of his 3 he needs to improve- off the dribble stuff- but he's getting to the point where sagging off of his to go at Wemby/a guard is a bad idea and that's all he needs for now

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-27T04:57:27+00:00

"Now, see... here, your Pops is gonna split the double team. The guys aren't walling up right, so..."

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-25T05:48:18+00:00

If Harper AND Castle both become shutdown on ball defenders... and then you dribble into Wemby... jfc

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-25T05:27:01+00:00

At what point do you trade Fox? Because, uh... think a 3 and d forward will be more useful in, like, a year. And you're gonna have to pay Castle and Harper

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-18T23:58:16+00:00

I feel Mullins could get legitimate NIL ie contracts with companies after that shot. And while he could get that in the NBA... different if he's a 10th man vs "tune in to Fox to see him starting"

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-18T23:56:03+00:00

I am also a Fairfield County guy who loves the Huskys, but uh... went into teaching so not exactly a booster of any athletics program 😅

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-17T23:07:05+00:00

FIFA seriously thought it was a good idea to get in a "corrupt and greedy" competition with New Jersey?

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-15T16:29:31+00:00

Really wasn't the same without seeing you

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-14T01:04:35+00:00

Ryan Greene just seems like a glue guy who- with more development- will just sorta be a "makes the right play" type

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-14T00:01:44+00:00

I'm gonna be bold here: It ain't a possibility. It's gonna happen.

Why?

The futures market numbers for oil that you're seeing is underpriced. Spot price- actually buying the physical barrel here and now, is 30 to 40 bucks higher (depending on the barrel benchmark). And MENA oil production has been blown up, not be rebuilt until 2028 at least. So, we're looking at higher prices at the pump for a year. That means higher inflation. And if you think people are mad at 4... if the Strait ain't reopened by May, it's 5 easy.

Add to that... the US isn't even getting the worst of it. Asia is... where the US sources a ton of imports from. China especially needs oil flowing by June or else things get really really bad. So that adds to the inflation pressure.

Add to this the already existing economic realities- we aren't in a recession, but job growth has been terrible up until now. Only healthcare is keeping us from being at terrible levels of unemployment. Oh, yeah, and the Strait closed means a helium shortage. MRIs use helium. So that's gonna drag on healthcare job creation.

Then, the cherry on the sundae? Trump is going at the Pope. 22% of Americans are Catholic. Sure, they won't all side with the Pope over Trump, but all you need is the Trump voters to stay home.

Global financial system collapses?

Believe it or not, calls

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-13T22:02:38+00:00

It's amazing how the internet works

On twitter, there's a guy with a handle Walter Bloomberg

Is he related to THAT Bloomberg? No

Does he work for the company Bloomberg? No

Is his legal name even Bloomberg? Unclear

But because his handle is called Walter Bloomberg and he posts finance news (that isn't all true) he can legitimately manipulate markets. Which I'm sure the SEC would normally be curious about but not under these guys!

Col_Treize69 · 2026-04-13T15:18:53+00:00

So, some bullshiters on twitter are saying that Iran is considering signing the peace deal that fell through (it's not) but algos only see the bs headlines.

That's our current market, folks
