    The NBA is a different beast, and even then physical play being allowed more in the playoffs may bite the thunder.

    If you told me we would lose one of the two between Archie and Haggerty, I would probably say I wanted to keep Archie. I know it’s blasphemous….I just have a good feeling about the kid. He has sky high efficiency. I love his game. I don’t particularly love relying on the refs to blow their...

    He scored the most points and did so efficiently, but he also had the ball thrown to him the most. None of the other guys were really focal points of their offenses except Wright in his Freshman year.

    Ironic considering he’s the only one that never played in an NCAA tournament during his career. We don’t need someone new to run offense through every possession. We just need enough production from that spot and someone who can be a competent defender.

    He gets a free steak at sizzler the next time he gets his card punched.

    6’9 / 6’10 is serviceable. You don’t need a legit 7 footer. Even 6’8 with athleticism works well. Swannegan, D’Andre Wright, Igbanu, Edogi…. All were effective…. You just need to be able to jump and bang inside.

    Wouldn’t mind seeing McWright depart. He’s not the caliber we need. Same for Hall. Could really use a couple more 2/3 guards and another big in addition to Smikle. Need someone who can rebound and play offense.

    Aah because one experiment “failed” we should never consider its potential again….. I wish the Republican Party would try the same logic with their inane tax proposals….. Unlike trick down economics, that 4 day work week actually was quite popular among workers and did see actual benefits...

    Which new initiatives have cost 3 trillion? Which ones are you willing to cut given their importance to future growth of the economy or important for national security? Do you want to claw back money on chip production? How is that going to detriment us in the future? The reason the country...

    You keep acting like the increase in spending is mostly related to us simply buying more things or employing more people…. It’s the same GDP or similar GDP normalized spend as 2019 with the addition of outeageous servicing costs related to increased interest rates. Our expenditures minus the...

    Unemployment will absolutely rise if we cut our GDP normalized spending. The only question is how high?

    We were spending 4.5T in 2019 when interest rates were lower…. And if I’m not incorrect that was right around the time that tax cuts were going through? Correct? No problems inflating the deficit to line billionaire’s pockets….

    No, I suggest not whipsawing into a depression because you have pulled the chair out on the economy. Get inflation under control. Raise taxes to try and get more income, make some smart, targeted cuts. When inflation is controlled, make more cuts.

    I think you could do a lot to improve deficits by fundamentally overhauling the healthcare and insurance industries. Yes, there would be some adverse effects to quality of care, but you would at least control spending, instead of just cutting people off of Medicaid using work requirements (Which...

    Arrogance. You care about the debt right up until the next GOP stooge promises you a tax cut….. then suddenly you forget all about the problem. Trickle down clown.

    I have looked at the numbers, i understand the situation. What I’m telling you is that you’re not going to be able to just cut your way out of this. If you try that, with the current interest rate regime the economy is already feeling significant downward pressure. If you make significant cuts...

    The most significant thing we can do to decrease spending levels is obviously getting inflation and interest rates under control. While you point at spending being key driver in that, I have repeatedly pointed out that our spending habits now are less bad than they were when Reagan was fighting...
