  1. I haven't watched the Australian version yet, but I'm pretty sure that the Traitors is the best reality show ever. We just finished the first season of the UK version, after watching the first two seasons of the US. Loved every second of it.

    The season finale and reunion episode of The Traitors U.S. season 2 aired tonight. Before I post any spoilers, Alan did announce after the end of the reunion that there will be a season 3. 👍:w00t:

    I was absolutely happy that CT and Trishelle won, but I wish they hadn't chosen to vote out MJ. No spoilers for the reunion, except MJ was still bitter about being voted out.

     

    Also, Masked Singer season 11. I know a lot of people here either never watched it or have given up on it, but trust me when I say find the season premiere and watch the last performance by Book. 

    And Rita Ora replaced Nicole on the panel. 

    Just finished season 2 of Traitors. Thoughts below.

    Spoiler

    As soon as they voted out Kate, I told my wife that they would vote out MJ. I did not see Trishelle trying to vote out CT, but knew that MJ wouldn't make it.

    KAT is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus.

    So that's this season gone, Ant can't exactly do much when he's being triple teamed on the perimeter.

    So bummed for you guys. Was rooting for Gobert to go deep into the playoffs. Hopefully Naz Reid can fill in to at least take the edge off a little.

  4. Yeah, I do agree with all of that as well. I enjoyed the in season tournament, but think that they need to start it later. Start it a month into the season, and end it right before the all star break.

    The dunk contest needs to be done with. Or, get rid of all props, helpers, etc. Just have straight dunks.

    I find it funnier that KAT scored 50 and wasn't MVP. That's gotta be a first, right?

    In other news, Jacque Vaughn was fired as Nets coach today.

    The 3 point contest and Steph vs Sabrina were the only good parts of All Star Weekend.  In general the 3 point contest feels like the only thing players actually like to do and take somewhat seriously.

    The skills contest is a lot of screwing about.  The problem with the dunk contest is there’s really nothing left, everything has been done.  So it’s a lot of “I’m gonna jump over this dude” or “I’m gonna wear an outfit” or whatever.  Jaylen Brown was getting booed for doing normal dunks without gimmicks and the judges were rewarding him for it.

    The game itself was, as always, a parody of real basketball.  Tuned out after 5 minutes.  At least the Saturday stuff was meant to be fun, I feel much the same way about the All Star Game as I did about the Pro Bowl.  Skills contests are more fun than a fake game.

    The stupid in-season tournament finals being in place of the All Star Game would be an improvement.

    What was wrong with the in-season tournament? By all accounts, it was well received by the players, was fun to watch some competitive games early in the season, and seemed to be a success with the fans as well.

    Kenny Smith's takeaway being that Sabrina should've shot from the WNBA line when she literally tied what all of the male shooters did in their first round sure was something.  Some guys need to have the mics taken away.

    Maybe he wanted her to beat them all? Either way, it's an extremely dumb take and I'm glad he's getting taken to town for it.

  7. So, how is everybody feeling about Beyonce going country? I've only listened to one of the two songs released so far, and it was super repetitive, just like her pop music, just had a country twang to it.

    I know quite a few 49ers fans that are in a Football group I quit a few months ago who can go fuck themselves. Kind of wish I was still in it to go read their whining, excuse making, and conspiracy theory/NFL is rigged garbage. 

    I knew going into the game that our secondary would struggle. Spent way too much money on the Frontline and not enough on cornerbacks. I would much rather have a shut down corner then Chase Young. And we had been having issues with offensive play calling pretty much all season. Shanahan gets in his head too much and doesn't stick with the run game enough. No excuse or whining from me, as frustrating as it is.

    Say it every year but the lamest tradition in sports will always be the owner getting to hold the trophy first

    It's right up there with the media swarming the field along with the players.

    I dunno man. I think Kira Lewis and a 1st is good enough for a team that needs just a little bit of an edge to get past a .500 record. And with the record the Raptors have that pick is gonna get you someone good. (Granted they draft smart)

    Nope. The draft pick will be the worst out of Utah, Houston, Clipper, or Thunder. So, it's going to be a late first round pick, most likely from the Clippers.

    What? You're gonna miss Kelly Olynyk that much?

    Yes. Kelly is awesome. A good guy and a hustler on the court.

    I'm hoping the moves we made were just to open up more time for Kessler and Hendricks. Wasn't sure what I was hoping for but trading two of our starters for not much wasn't it.

    Also, love the Knicks picking up Bogie and Burks. Great move.
