Man, the calls at the end of this game.  Maddening.

WTF!  Philly coach ran out on the floor!  Dammit!  You have to be kidding.

The mother fuggin coach is out on the floor!  Haha, no call...none.  The Hornets are running a trap, 1 second from a ten second count and the Philly coach is HALF WAY on the court and gets a timeout?  What!

The Hornets are so close...keep this squad together there is something here.  Just let the young guys mature...we will be good in time.  Amazing game and comeback!

I don’t give a shet who is healthy or not...Kemba and Monk are the backcourt.  Let Monk get there because he will.  I personally like Bridges on the floor as well.  The other positions are up for grabs.  Love Bridges potential as a defender.  Bacon is a keeper IMO as well.  A good big or scorer at PF or SF would help in this next draft.

Eventually get Batum, Frank, Biz, Marvin off the books and we could really be something,  will take time.

Big game today against Detroit. They are going to be one of the teams we are competing with for those last couple of playoff spots. 

Nice win today by da bees.  Bridges is starting to look damn good...all the young guys are for that matter.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
