I do like how he manages the pitchers better.
This has definitely been a tremendous improvement. And actually using the bench and giving players rest.

Monty Python & The Holy Grail
Those two are easily my top two. After that it would be tough.
Tucker and Dale versus Evil, Young Frankenstein, Shaun of the dead, and History of the world part 1 would all be up there.

He and SWA would make a great 1 2 punch at PF. And Aristode would definitely be an interesting pickup for a wing.

Not having bigs was a huge issue.
Oh, no doubt that is 100% true. But you said that was our only roster construction issue, which isn't remotely true. Having poor perimeter defense and a 2 guard playing point guard were equally as big of roster construction issues.
quote:
Kentucky probably spend 20+ this year.
That means less than nothing, tons of teams rebuilt 80% of their roster and did much better than us. A&M being one example. You don't have to spend 15 mil to have a decent team.
quote:
We’re also getting visits from Owen Freeman and Jalen Shelly
Two guys that can't shoot 3s, one of which also scored 5 points a game last year, that'll fix our offense. The major problem with our offense last year was our lack of 3 point shooting and lack of passing/movement.
The Euro guy or Heide or Shelly would be fine for a backup wing, but if any of those are starting for us we are pretty screwed. We pretty much have to have someone who can fill it from 3 and score 15+ to go along with Overton and Tahaad. We are replacing about 30 points a game from Hall and Freeman leaving as is.

The poor construction to me was more about the lack of bigs and rim protectors
Well, you'd be dead wrong, we had a hell of a lot more problems than just a lack of a rim protector. And Overton was pretty average statistically defensively at Texas Tech in his one year there.
quote:
and probably about the same on the wings and possibly better from the outside if we get the Texas kid and the Euro kid.
:lol: at the idea that two guys who averaged 5 points a game at Texas and the Euro league respectively are going to be the missing piece for us. Freeman was a better player than either, and that's not even going into having to replace Hall's impact.
And Heide sucks defensively, he's not going to help anything on that end. If those two are our starters at the 3 next year with Tahaad and Overton at 1 and 2 we are in for a world of hurt next year.

Completely blowing a roster up year after only works if you’re spending 25-30 million and I doubt we will be doing that.
25-30 mil for a basketball roster, GTFO of here with that nonsense.
quote:
So then we are talking about well maybe Overton needs to be the 6th man
No doubt, which is why I'm not exactly stoked about them both coming back as starters. I personally would have rather seen us blow the roster up more and get a better fit overall rather than have Tahaad as primary PG.
We've spent the entire season talking about how badly this roster was constructed, and now it sounds like we are pretty much running it back. Tahaad at the 1 and Overton at the 2 gives us the same crappy defense and poor offensive flow we had this year in the backcourt.
Hell of an outing for Brewer.

He's a PG all the way imo
Then he better become a hell of a lot better passer this off-season or it's going to be another frustrating season.
I'm rather baffled by the amount of people pumped up by the idea of him coming back as primary PG. It's like people are ignoring the fact that our crappy offense in SEC play was in a large part due to his inability to be a good PG.
I have confidence in his ability to bounce back next year with his shooting, but I don't have a bunch of confidence in him being a good starting PG on a solid tournament team. Though hopefully he proves me wrong on that.

Taad is/wants to play off ball more, him and Overton will largely be occupying the same role to a large degree, assuming Taad does return.
Overton would be just fine overall at the 3 really, he's about the same weight as CBM was playing the same position, just a bit shorter. He might actually improve defensively since getting beat off the dribble seemed to be his biggest issue.
Get another real wing that can shoot 3s as well as a primary PG that can defend and shoot threes well and we'd be in good shape there. Obviously Freeman can be that 2/3 backup if stays. Overton, Tahaad, a solid 1 and another solid wing can easily have the starters average 28 mins a game and the backup wing getting 22-23 mins in a solid rotation. That's basically what we had in 2024 with CBM, Denver, Kelly, and Tahaad.

Apparently peacock did a surprisingly good job with Twisted Metal? Didn't watch so I don't know
Twisted Metal is quite solid, but doesn't have all that much CGI or special effects at all outside of the end of season 2. And they literally had to recast a character for season 2 because they couldn't pay Neve Campbell to come back for season 2.
quote:
That said, again zero knowledge of tv production, would the cgi cost have to be as high as Ted?
The CGI costs for this will be a bazillion times higher than Ted. All of the characters powers and the battles are going to be super expensive to film live action.
And :lol: at having a live cat seamlessly replace a CGI Donut. Game of Thrones barely used the Wolves after a couple seasons because they couldn't get them to perform properly, and a cat would be tremendously tougher to use than a dog.
All the good things I've heard about Orville gives me some hope, but animation on Prime given their success with Invincible and The Mighty Nein/Vox Machina would have been the play.

And the Ted work is great CGI, probably the best in TV right now
Problem is the Ted TV series just got canceled after two seasons on Peacock due to the CGI costs, so I'm pretty doubtful they are going to spend more money on DCC, or fund it for a ton of seasons.

I think the odds were high of that when it was announced as live action. I just don't see how they have the budget to do it justice as live action.
It needs to be an animated adult series along the lines of Invincible.

Yiiiikes, DCC to Peacock.
I mean, when Seth MacFarlane bought the rights a while back that was always the most likely spot eh?
Given the Ted TV show being on there anyway. Though I agree about not having high hopes in that setting.
re: Special ed teacher admits to having sex with 2 students

Could she not just be a Special Ed teacher at a larger school that also has “normal” students that were not necessarily in her Special Ed class?
The quote from the article said she was a co-teacher in a world history class, which means half her class would be normal students, and rest could be any random sort of SPED student. The could be sped because of ADHD type diagnosis, or they could just suck at math ur English and need more time, there is a wide range.
Not that it's right either way, but as High C said, people see SPED and are assuming things like Downs, which isn't really the case typically. That is called Self-contained, which is where severely mentally challenged students who can't be in normal classrooms are found.

Seems like a pretty easy read actually.
Yeah, it's a pretty easy read as a whole for the series. Gwynne is just good in general. Took me a long time to read that series too honestly, even though I loved his other books.
The Blacktongue thief is a good read, but he's taken forever to get book 2 out.

but that team was still good enough to win it all for sure and in a lot of years would have. Just ran into a guy (Walter Clayton) who was on a heater ala Kemba Walker
No doubt, and if Kelly, Tahaad, and Denver weren't all ice cold in that game from three we probably still win that game even with Clayton going nuts.
quote:
That roster was built to win it all.
We were basically a real PG short of a team that would have won it all. Replace Pegues with someone like Ja'Kobi Gillespie last year and we have a title most likely.

get the movie was long, but if they didn't want to do 2 movies, maybe add 20-25 minutes to cover these things a bit.
No way in hell they could have added 20-25 minutes without losing the general audience. My wife has not read the book and enjoyed the movie a good bit, but she already thought it was a bit too long and could have been edited a bit to tighten things up. And making it two movies would be absolutely ridiculous, there isn't nearly enough book for that.
Sure, I wish they could have added more stuff from the book, but a frigging 3 hour version of this movie isn't accessible to the general audience and isn't making money.
