    Watching Ivey and Duren is a treat. Hopefully they stay healthy and mature as expected. Sure, they're rookies and make rookie mistakes. But Ivey also plays with some reckless abandon and tried to take over the game last night. Duren is just so tough to handle down low at times despite not having a refined game at this point.

    Sacramento is leading the league in scoring. Detroit gives up the second most points per game in the league. What was surprising to me was that the Pistons were able to keep up with and actually have the lead over the Kings for much of the game. I honestly don't remember the last time I've seen the Pistons hit the century mark before the 3rd quarter was over. Heck, I'm old enough to remember occasional final scores in the 60s/70s. 120 points used to win people in attendance free pizzas.

    Wait, hold up. Iowa has the inside track in the west. The B10 championship game will be indoors. The Hawkeyes will need to score more than 2 TDs to win that game. So normally I'd agree with you, but unless the winner of UoM/OSU has to visit the MASH unit on its way to Indy, The Game decides the B10 champion and a home team seed in the national football championship.

    Its possible, but nobody wants to hear it. Yesterday was a good reminder that theory doesn't always match reality. These teams are 18-20some year olds that have their inconsistencies from game to game. I think that the only thing that can be assumed is that the committee will avoid rematches at 1v4 and 2v3.

    It seems to me that USC has flown under the radar despite its only loss being a 1 point loss on the road at Utah. I think people lost track of them after hiring Riley and the move to the B10 was announced, as if the off field news was all there was for this season.

    What about: 1. Georgia 2a - 2c: Pick the order of UoM/TCU/OSU out of a hat. 5. USC 6. Clemson 7- 10: Pick the order of LSU/PSU/Tennessee/Alabama out of a hat.

    Dorian Thompson-Robinson is a beast tonight.

    Congrats to Alabama for sneaking by Austin Peay.

    Well, and there’s something I hate about our sports culture. Georgia could smoke someone in a playoff game and the team that loses will declared as “sucks”. Sucks? They’re the #4 team in the nation and will be declared as “sucks” if they lose decisively. They’ll have the 4th best resume (and I understand there is sometimes debate on this, just set it aside for now) and have the misfortune of one bad game and then be discarded as some 4th best team in the MAC West. Makes no sense.

    I wouldn’t have guessed them to be undefeated still. But at some point, you gotta throw out your earlier biases and premonitions and acknowledge what they’ve accomplished. Going back to a few posts above, yes, there usually is a degree of luck involved for teams that are still undefeated at this point. But they’ve taken advantage of that luck, so kudos to them.

    Maybe they’re just good this season.

    TCU survives at Baylor. Some questionable play calling on its last couple of plays and sent the FG team out with the clock running and not much time to spare.
  16. casimir
    Yes, good point. This was the winnable game of the trip, especially with James out. Cunningham and Stewart are out. Have to imagine Diallo and Bey are at least limited. This has the makings of an 0 for 6 west coast trip.

    The ladder plays better defense than Harden.
  18. casimir
    You know, I thought that, too. But he had over 600 PAs in 2018 and 2019, over 500 PAs in 2021. Injuries in 2022, fair to call those out.
  19. casimir
    Yes, there was someone close to him in a red shirt. 76ers’ employee? It seems like there would have been a Bucks’ employee next to him. Even if he were right to be on the court, pushing down the ladder seems uncalled for.

    While very true, they could use a bat of Brantley’s ilk in the lineup. I’d be fine with him as the everyday LF/DH. I wouldn’t consider Brantley a platoon player. Maybe I’d bat him lower vs LHP, but I’d be comfortable with him in the lineup vs LHP. The opposition is probably going to go to a RHP at some point during the game anyway. As you mention the LHH heavy OF, and knowing Harris’ desire for a RHH OF, it’d be nice if they could find one that can handle all 3 OF spots. Much easier said than done, but Greene and (squinting) Baddoo are the only CFs currently on the 40. Granted, it’s only mid November, but there’s room for depth there.

    I agree with your flyer idea, and who knows, maybe Cisnero is on the bubble for that type of transaction.

    I wonder what the protocol is for road teams and arena personnel after the game? The Sixers play at home against Minnesota tonight (the night after), so would they be removing the basket overnight?
  23. casimir
    Well, and in the short term, how many games will Diallo be out? I thought he might have swallowed his tooth when he hit the floor.
  24. casimir
    I think its kind of obvious that there would be plenty of losses to begin with. This just enhances the odds. I'll be honest, unless in the end the Pistons pull another top overall pick, this just sucks. I'd prefer to have had Ivey and Cunningham develop together.
  25. casimir
    Maybe. I'm just not as impressed with Cisnero as what other folks seem to be. The walk rate has always been high with the exception of 2020. I wouldn't say the mirage is the same as Soto, but its in that direction.
