    Of course. Soon as he leaves he's back to a 3 point contest level performer.

    again, at this point, we need to start looking inward, right?

    I'll give it the Slick "Meh". Wasn't like he wasn't given a lot of minutes to show he could shoot under the bright lights of wearing the P&G. Like the first game if I recall he did great. Then he realized where he was.

    If only Beas would've worked out.

    word is that he was having some sort of personal issue, right? we could have kept him pretty easily and retained his bird rights/contract for trades, worst case. best case, we have two of the best shooters in the league on our team.

    in any case, i don't want to hear about buddy hield ever again. we had a comparable player and let him walk for peanuts. do not trade useful assets for the same thing.

    In 32 mins in San Francisco tonight: 0-6 from 3 and 2 for 10 overall in 32 mins.

    I'd crack wise that maybe the further West he goes, the worse his long-range shooting, but then our next game against MIL Malik will go 8 for 10...in the very building he couldn't hit those for us in. <----went way outta my way to end a sentence with a preposition, which the lexical gatekeepers are finally saying is okay. Like we didn't love doing it anyway, is my go-to.

    What do they say about using “lost” as a noun …. which seems to be a thing these days? As in a lost in the win/loss columns. :clap: ;)

    That's still ungrammatical, but eff it: grammarians are largely self-appointed menopausal (including dudes) dinosaur keepers of the "proper" use of language and were never all that effective. If you or someone else says, "They mounted a big comeback in the 4th but fell short, so it's a still a lost": As long as we understand what's been conveyed, grammar be damned. That's the way language actually works in the larger world. It is what it be, yo! Remember that "ebonics" kerfuffle? "We" can make those who live in the "inner-city" have better lives if we force them to speak our way? Talk about paternalistic idiocy! Black English is as effective a way to communicate as any other dialect. And everyone knows how to code-switch. No one said "We need to get those in the South to stop saying 'y'all; it's improper!"

    We all still listen to someone every now and then whose use of language seems to imply there's something wrong with them. We can't totally put our finger on why we feel uneasy listening to them, but we feel something's amiss. (There's this convicted rapist and con artist running for POTUS right now...oops!: not "political" just a FACT.)

    I read an article a couple months ago about how teenage girls are most responsible (recently: since Internet, IIRC) for making up new words that actually make their way into everyone's vocabulary. Personally, I'm against anything that tries to make language STATIC and for anything that reminds us how DYNAMIC language and the world really is. Because dynamicism is baked into reality: you're literally not the "same" person you were when you started reading this dippy message from me. Cells have died off, proteins have been coded for, neural circuitry about "how language works" was stimulated, you became eye-glazy reading this boring Zoyd guy again. (Very slightly.) We're both technically "older." The sun is in a different relation to the Earth, etc, etc, etc.

    That's pretty much how I always imagined Kobe would react to me if he heard me try to talk. Spot-on!

    Once that door was opened a Crack, it was only a matter of time. Refs and players. Soon a head coach.

    feels like the kind of thing where a player makes a dumb decision, and puts himself in a position or someone else put him in a position where he owed a favor. Once that "favor" went too far, it was too late and they owned him until this happened. Just a guess, but I watch a lot of murder mystery stuff haha.
