I have one league draft at 8 pm EST that day. I have another league drafting the day before that at 8 pm EST. I am the commish in the other two leagues. I can't miss those drafts. If you need me to drop feel free to kick me. I can't do the 4th at 7 pm. Can we do Friday Sept 2nd at 8 pm? I could do that.

Done. Friday September 2nd at 8:00.

Traitor! Excited for squawk fantasy football ! Draft in a month or so huh?

 

Braves!!! 

yessir! i just need to set the draft date

I was about to mistake Kevin Chouinard with Kirschner.  I remember Brad Rowland doing an interview with Chouinard and thought he came off a little bit pretentious at times but I'll have to reserve my judgement.  Good luck to Kirshner and hopefully he enjoys many years of wishing the Yanks had the Braves magic.

Capstone vs. The Weight.  Who will take home bragging rights for the next year?  

Tonight the night......BE THERE!!!!!

Date and time is set.....September 5th at 7:30pm.  LET'S GO!!!!!!!!

I'm more worried about next year with them. They're clearly playing above their heads.  Not likely to duplicate this next year unless they make some major additions via FA.

They could absolutely beat us, especially when you consider the playoffs lets fouling go.  For better or worse, we'll have to adjust to that.  I hope it doesn't take more than a game to wake up to that difference.

Prophet Eddie tried to tell y’all!

Le Bilboquet Restaurant Under Fire for Arbitrarily Enforced Dress Code - Eater Atlanta

 

The policy can still be racist whether intentional or not.   Seriously what kind of 'dress code' is it that allows ripped jeans, shorts but not 'athletic' pants so they can protect the 'culture' of the restaurant.   It's not like this is a dress code and slacks required place.  It allows casual attire with the specific exclusion of a certain type of casual attire. 

 

Nique’s accusations are of being denied entry because of his race. The sensibility of the dress code is a different conversation altogether. If they say no sports pants like the ones he was wearing are allowed, that’s just them enforcing their policy. If anybody is going to jump to racism from that, they’re going to have to prove that the dress code was implemented specifically to deter people of a certain race from dining. I don’t see any credible evidence of that. Now if evidence emerges showing people being allowed in wearing what Nique was turned away for, particularly a white person, then we would have some legitimate grounding to build an argument for possible discrimination based on race. Until then, this is claims without evidence. 

Unless there's more to the story to come out, it's really as simple as this.  They have a dress code that specifically states no sports wear allowed.  'Nique was apparently wearing very high end, sports pants with a stripe, but sports pants nonetheless.  How we get to the restaurant being racist based on these facts alone is ridiculous.  So unless further information comes to light showing inconsistencies with how lenient they may be with people based on their race, this is nothing more than sour grapes and an unfortunate jump to a conclusion about a business.  It seems to me that 'Nique is the one that owes the business an apology.  I actually have lost a bit of respect for him because of this.

Gimme the Knickerbockers all day.  That team is overachieving, and credit to them for doing so.  But they're not as good as their record.  They just don't have the talent to beat us imho.

Sadly we won’t get any real idea of what a McMillan led team would look like. He can’t do anything more than basically mirror what Pierce’s philosophies have been. But maybe we’ll see some sort of energy boost from the guys wanting to get Nate some hype for replacing Pierce. Who knows?

De'Andre Hunter 

And I thought we were done with being a lottery team. It’s time for accountability. Someone has to go and I think we all know who it is.

If yall wanna pick a game and we all test this. Everyone will just not watch or hear about the game. And do something else distraction that game?

You’re kidding right?

We're going through changes.  It's going to be ugly as all get out for a minute here.  Given time, probably 20 games in, I think we are going to see about what is expected....a 40ish win team that will be the 6-8th seed in the east.  It's going to try all of our ability to be patient but let's see it out.

Bet $20 Bruno doesn't start the 2nd qtr.

He did. Chill!

We look completely outclassed. Like a bunch of scrubs.

Bruno already making his impact

• set the nice blockout of his man for Trae to make the easy floater
• contested Fultz shot
• ran the floor and received the pass ( but got tied up )
• got an offensive rebound ( but had his shot blocked )
• contested Vucevic's shot
• drew the foul going up for the offensive rebound

 

I’m not feeling your optimistic outlook. He’s looked weak and outmatched most of his time out there. 

Harden is starting to become a bit Dwight Howard like with his reputation. Too many red flags indicating he might be no fun to play with. We had an iso guy in Joe for many years and I’m not wanting to harken back to that type of basketball.

This is an almost impossible season to feel confident about any predictions.  I honestly can see us winning 30 or 50 games.
