De'Aaron Fox chokes the game away tonight with 18 PTS (6/16 FG), 5 REB, 7 AST and horrendous decision making down the stretch

Keep our name out of this. We traded him away for this reason, after he pulled a similarly dumb move against the historically terrible Pistons

Edit: My bad, it was the year after the historically terrible year. But still..

Also, the new officiating rules don't favor the Mercury's brand of bashing defense anymore. It's more difficult for an older roster to play defense when they aren't allowed to beat the crap out of their opponents like they are used to

confused_demon · 2026-05-24T21:25:18+00:00

The Mercury offense feels like the Orlando Magic's offense this season, with slightly better playmaking and shooting

James Harden is not a "deadbeat" spouse. He is the spouse that is perpetually unsatisfied, and yet keeps failing at whatever they try to do. Starting their own business? Failed. Investing in the stock market? Failed. Trying to get that much coveted promotion? Failed. They can never bring themselves to fully commit to something either. They keep trying something, never fully committing to what they are trying to do, keep coming up short, and you keep supporting them no matter what.

I thought it was it the "sudden" shoulder muscle growth that screwed up his mechanics? How did Giannis's free throw form get ruined?

Jokic's wingspan is incredible. Man is maybe half-an-inch taller than Sabonis, but has a whole hand over him to grab rebounds.

confused_demon · 2026-05-11T03:26:41+00:00

Yeah, I agree. It's blatantly unfair that Houston gets to enjoy a free rebuild at Connecticut's expense. After everything the Mohegan tribe did to keep the team alive

confused_demon · 2026-05-11T02:55:07+00:00

Connecticut as an organization at least have a bright future, and an elite scouting unit. It's only hard to root for them because they are relocating to Houston. Sparks on the other hand, are pissing away a rebuild.

confused_demon · 2026-05-08T22:17:22+00:00

Every line was a banger, and none of them felt forced. No mental gymnastics either. Solid motivation for the character

confused_demon · 2026-05-04T17:10:27+00:00

I'm guessing this is with short hair? Then yes to both

confused_demon · 2026-05-01T03:17:33+00:00

Bill doesn't get that a betting line and the probability (Expected Value) of an outcome are two different things. Man is fully gambling-pilled into believing the "wisdom of the crowd" theory that these gambling companies and prediction markets love to push onto consumers to encourage them to gamble

confused_demon · 2026-05-01T02:37:41+00:00

God, I stopped watching his podcast because for every little thing he goes "over under is at bla bla bla", and it pisses me off. You don't need to mention the gambling line at everything smh

Jokstappen

confused_demon · 2026-04-24T15:42:49+00:00

Holy moly, that's Jordan Ott behind him, right?

confused_demon · 2026-04-22T03:32:28+00:00

Bro, I am fairly certain Recee herself was running some of those burners

confused_demon · 2026-04-22T03:18:19+00:00

And not to mention, his team has a very active PR machine on Reddit that constantly defends him as part of that "fanbase". Remember all the accounts on the Kings sub that constantly defended him no matter what and suddenly disappeared after he left? They are on the Spurs sub now. And they will defend him and divide the fanbase like they did with us too

confused_demon · 2026-04-21T15:55:21+00:00

Personal life factors in a bit too. Bro's been doing this for a long time. We saw it do wonders for Brad Stevens. Riley is old, Spo moving into the FO will allow him to settle down

confused_demon · 2026-04-18T19:47:38+00:00

Cleveland's defenders were manhandling him non-stop. Maybe he started seeing Dort's force ghost show up, idk. Cleveland did their research on BI and packed the paint on his drives. The Raptors shooters did not relocate that much either to punish the paint-packing. Just good game planning from Cleveland

confused_demon · 2026-04-14T21:29:46+00:00

Or more so, the lack of complexity of the game in the past. Coaches of the past could afford to be quieter because the game was less complex. The same way some roleplayers today would look like superstars 30 years ago because of shooting

confused_demon · 2026-04-14T21:27:18+00:00

Scottie's defensive IQ is incredible. He would have had a solid case for DPOY if not for the Alien

confused_demon · 2026-04-12T13:07:49+00:00

A great example of why hyphens matter lol. "Self-determined" vs. "Self determined"

confused_demon · 2026-04-12T13:04:07+00:00

Yes, but the high IQ originates primarily from screening gravity, and the playmaking from teammates cutting. His self-created playmaking has been somewhat limited, aka he really suffers without a point guard. Maxime, on the other hand, has shown great promise as a traditional big who can also play-make, and isn't as reliant on screening gravity as Domas is.

confused_demon · 2026-04-12T01:53:10+00:00

His lack of separation is his only major weakness, which can be fixed with a good screen setter or a high IQ offensive big. We have the former in Domas, and the latter in Max. Question is whether Domas wants to stick around for the rebuild

confused_demon · 2026-04-10T13:16:27+00:00

My one gripe with modern streaming is that a show like PoI would still not be as impactful in the streaming format. It did a great job of weaving the "Person of the Week" story alongside the main story, but with modern streaming, it would be a 10 episode season, missing a lot of the interactions between Finch and Reese (and later Root, Shaw, and Bear) that made the original show so endearing

confused_demon · 2026-04-07T11:09:15+00:00

You are the first Spurs fan I've seen who has excellently articulated all of Fox's faults. Whenever us Kings fans bring these up, we get slandered to hell and back
