Am I the only one that is seeing this a joke referencing Stalactites and Stalagmites? Like I also think that it fits as a good thought experiment, but is the joke so obvious that no one is stating it? Or is am I just reading something into it that’s not there?

Yeah I agree with Minnesota. Even though Memphis and Nawlins are more East, they are still closer to OKC, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas than Minny is.

One of Russ’s best games of the season. He seems to hate Memphis for some reason.

10 months used to be the standard, until some Caesers ended up getting a couple of months named after them.
September (7th month) October (8th month) November (9th month) December (10th month)
Those months would also be named appropriately again if we dropped July and August…. But then I’d lose my birthday.

I love Russ. I love him at his Bestbrook and I accept him at his Worstbrook. When the rumors started floating about him heading to the Clips, I almost immediately talked myself into it being a good move for the team.
He brings the kind of fire and accountability that the team lost after Pat Bev left. I also loved Reggie Jackson on the Clips, and they are surprisingly similar players in that they have the potential to be a hero on any given night, but also potentially take the most ill-advised shot in an effort to will the team to victory.
I just can’t hate on dudes like Westbrook because he obviously leaves everything out there on the floor. He’s the dude I want to see get a ring more than anyone.

- Comment on Knicks offer for Joel Embiid - Pompey 1 year ago:
Absolutely. I was just being snarky about Morey. It’s this fine line where the Clips are already an older team and even though Mann is fake young (he just turned 27), trading one of their only under-30 rotation players to get older is probably counter-productive for them.
Personally, I think trading an additional draft pick that is going to be for some current middle-schooler is probably worth it to get Harden and keep Mann specifically because they are going to need his defense. Not that he’s a GREAT defender or anything, but Mann is probably the best option at power forward on the Clippers as currently constructed. That’s a dude playing out of position who’s going to be the starting PF for them.
Clips looked old last year. Can’t keep trading away guys in their 20s for guys in their 30s. It’s not sustainable.
But basically, neither side has much additional leverage to use unless Harden changes his stance one way or the other. Clips probably already feel like they’ve been raked over the coals by Presti’s package for PG13, and they’ll be damned if they’re going to empty the draft cabinet again for a 1-year rental who has basically incentivized every other team in the league to stay far away from him.
Harden has probably done more harm to getting this deal done than anyone. Though I do still think Morris (Philly born) & Norm (streaky, but definitely a bucket when he’s on), while not James Harden talent, are viable pieces to keep the 6ers in contention.
Morris was over exposed because Ty Lue played him an ungodly number of minutes. You have him as like 9 or 10 off the bench, he could probably get you some good outside shooting and he could be a sort of goon/hard fouling enforcer. If he’s playing more than 10-12 minutes though, that’s bad.
Norm can score. He’s rough on defense, but Harden’s defensive capabilities are up and down at best. I would imagine they will be way down if he’s going the sabotage route. Norm also gets a bit of tunnel vision and isn’t a great passer like Harden. Still, a microwave bench scorer is nothing to sneeze at. Plus you hand the reins over to Maxey with the starters.
That seems a much better prospective 23-24 season than a sulking Harden. I am a bit biased though.
As a Clippers fan, I’m skeptical that Harden will be the solution, and if they give up Mann in the deal, I’m pessimistic the fit would work out at all.
- Comment on Knicks offer for Joel Embiid - Pompey 1 year ago:
By most accounts, Clips are offering Marcus Morris & Norm Powell + a pick or two for a player on a one year contract. The idea is to get Harden somewhere else so that the team can focus on keeping talent around Embid and compete so that he remains happy as well.
Those players are being offered for the reigning MVP. The guy that Morey is most definitely trying to keep around.
The difference in talent between Norman Powell and this version of James Harden is much closer than any of those guys from the Knicks and Embid. Plus, that trade would basically be a blow-it-up trade. The exact thing that Morey is trying to avoid.
