Mitchell, Curry, Tatum, even LeBron... the lottery being rigged... not a good look for the NBA right now.

Yeah, it's the home opener for the Golden State Valkyries.

If I were the Dubs, I wouldn't bring Curry back. Minnesota will probably make the decision for them, but I wouldn't risk it. Let the hamstring heal and run it back next year. It's not like they're going to get out of the next round even if they do scrape past the T-Wolves. The NBA isn't doing its players any favors with this crazy scheduling.

Kuminga can score. He's just useless at playing within the Warriors system. Since the Warriors ran a bunch of iso crap he got his.

Ya think Haliburton is taking this overrated stuff personally? It's a good thing his dad wasn't at the game.

Buddy Hield... and to think lots of Warriors fans wanted Kerr to bench him in favor of Moses Moody. Great defensive effort today. The Rockets have a ton of talent but it feels like they're missing a playmaker.

The Warriors tanking a game and the Rockets celebrating like they'd won the chip was funny shit.

That shot of Spencer walking away from the Turkish dude is freaking iconic.

To be fair, Hield shot 6/13 (including 5 threes) and Gary Payton III shot 7/9, both off the bench. If not for those two, the Dubs wouldn't have won. it took Golden State until the third quarter to figure out how to score without Jimmy on the floor. It was reminiscent of the early part of the season where they were using a deep rotation and finding different ways to score. The starters who didn't score contributed a lot defensively. The only real disappointment was Kuminga, whom the team has all but given up on. The Rockets didn't seem very connected to me. The next game is going to be interesting if Jimmy returns given the jawing at the end after the final whistle.

Draymond didn't push him. It was a reckless play from Amen. The NBA really needs to clamp down on this shit before sometime gets seriously injured. The officiating is the number one reason why this series is so chippy.

That is incredible. I'm pretty sure Kerr would have been fired by now if he were part of a different organization.

It was a fun end to the show with babyface turns, monologues, feel good happy endings and callbacks to the 80s, the movies and earlier in the show. No complaints.

Jimmy's Warriors debut went well considering he wasn't able to practice with them or join their shoot around. I'll miss Wiggins, though.

Anthony Davis in a nutshell.

It's kind of amazing how much he shat on The Elephant Man.

In the back of my mind, I'm always wondering when the next David Lynch movie will be. One of the great auteurs. I gotta listen to some Roy Orbinson or something. This sucks.

RIP, Tony. Used to crack me up endlessly.

It took me a while to finish this batch of episodes, but I thought they were pretty solid. I was a little iffy on the brawl at the end, but I guess it wouldn't be Cobra Kai without a chaotic all-out brawl. I knew it was gonna end in tragedy, but I wasn't sure who would die. I thought they did a good job of teasing any number of possible deaths. Pretty somber ending. Some pretty cool foreshadowing thinking back on the final episode.

Finished Castle Waiting Vol. 2: The Definitive Edition. I finished the first volume in a week but took a much more leisurely pace with the second volume. Not because there was a drop off in quality, but more the fact that I knew there wasn't anymore after the volume was done and wanted to savor the book for a little longer. There are still a lot of questions left unanswered, but if Medley is unable to pen another tale, she has left us with some of the most charming cartooning you'll ever encounter and one of the warmest comics you'll ever read.

The God of Japanese Horror Manga has passed away. RIP, Kazuo Umezu.

That was a long time ago. I really hated Koshinaka and Takada back then. FWIW, I totally agree with your take on early Owen.

I've been on a Pillows kick this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmBH1TfTftE

House makes more sense if you've seen other Obayashi films. Humor and magic realism are a big part of his work.

It's a real song from an LP Dump released in 1985. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoOFsG3MpXs

Poor Dikeme.
