Also, I know the game isn’t particularly well liked, but I’m stoked Metal Gear Solid 4 is finally escaping the confines of the PS3. What a giant, fascinating mess it is. I love it.

Oh lord they’re finally making a new 2D Castlevania 😭

Prediction markets need to be destroyed (they won’t, because we live in a hell world where grifting and corruption are guiding principles, but it’s nice to dream)

Looks like JDub reaggravated the hamstring injury. sigh.

Fuck

Incredible. I hope G-Wiz gets every penny.

Those SGA-Joe-McCain lineups are gonna go crazy

Not gonna lie, watching the Chiefs and then Pats get absolutely embarrassed in back-to-back Super Bowls is preeeetty cool

Way more exciting than this Super Bowl: Jalen Williams is back tomorrow!!

“America the Beautiful” should be our national anthem, and the fact that we’re stuck with “The Star Spangled Banner” instead so says much about what this country is

Can’t wait for mysterious “investors” to make tens of thousands of dollars off last-minute bets on his next team right before the trade goes through

It’s funny this clip has sent the commentariat class into a tizzy when 1. AEW’s audience is way more progressive than what they view as a stereotypical “wrestling fan” and 2. The “good guy” of the match famously wore an abolish ICE shirt in Mexico, so the chants were not some random thing

The concept of creating an unprotected “window” on a pick is crazy, especially when it starts at 5. This is some high stakes gambling right here.

Just in case anyone watching this OKC game is curious

The only opinion on the Jared McCain trade that matters.

I look away for like one single hour and we get the most Thunder news we’ve had in ages. Jared McCain picked up? Shai out until after the ASG? Ous probably on the move to Charlotte?

Isaiah Joe poster on Paolo?!!!

39 to 14 after a whole quarter is dirty, dirty work. My goodness.

If this really is an attempt at a sweaty, Giannis-esque “please don’t leave, look how serious we are!” appeal to Donovan Mitchell after two disappointing playoff runs, acquiring Harden, of all players, is very funny

Finally getting around to playing Metroid Prime 4, and honestly, I think y’all seriously undersold how baffling and misguided this thing is. This is a fucking travesty.

At this point, I hope OKC avoids Denver in the playoffs not because of the threat posed by the Nuggets themselves but because they have the most whiny, insufferable media and fanbase in the NBA

Bro accidentally became too important at work

Ugh Ajay and Caruso (and JDub, of course) still out tomorrow for the big showdown with Denver

You’ve heard of a schedule loss. Well, I’m labeling that one a sociopolitical loss.

I have a feeling the hospital Thunder are getting demolished tonight

Pokémon Legends Arceus was Pokémon Monster Hunter Legends ZA is Pokémon Yakuza (Like a Dragon)

Wouldn’t be surprised if Lu catches a one-game suspension and OKC loses another body lmao

Ha, Toronto is ACTUALLY defending Shai the way I thought Indiana would (Raps definitely have better personnel for it, too). Tough sledding so far.

Tonight is a low-key scary game for the SGA 20-point streak. Literally every other guy on the team who can create a shot is out. Carlisle, Nembhard, Nesmith, and Siakam are obviously pretty familiar with how to suppress SGA and there’s nobody else to draw attention. Gonna be interesting.

If I speak…

Nothing in the NBA quite like Ousmane Dieng garbage time shenanigans

I’m not local (visiting from NY) so I haven’t been to a ton of Thunder home games, but that was EASILY the loudest regular season game I’ve ever attended. Rivaled a playoff game for sure.

This Paycom Center crowd is LOUD and PISSED at these calls. These refs will be lucky to make it to Will Rogers alive.

Davion Mitchell is out here doing his best TJ McConnell impression

Me to the Thunder’s three-point shooting every game

The Thunder’s complete inability to shoot the ball needs to be studied

At least Shai got his 20

This is easily the most rattled we’ve seen this OKC team be in a long time. Can’t make a shot. Can’t get a whistle no matter how obvious the contact. Getting literally bullied by the Hornets. I think the struggles of the last few games are in their heads, and this shit show is the cherry on top.

Poor Ajay. Great look, but as a leftie, that has to be an insanely tough shot.

JDub. Why. What was that shot.

They finally blow a whistle for Shai, and it’s literally the one possession he’s had where he wasn’t obviously fouled lmao

It’s already pretty clear Phoenix’s gameplan is to flail and scream after every bump and tap and self-initiated contact, no matter how minor. Very Finchian.

Finally binged through Death by Lightning. Very fun show, great performances. But more than anything it got me thinking about how telling it is that we keep remaking King of Comedy.

The amount of online bellyaching I’ve seen over a 3 second clip of one (correct but soft) foul in an NBA game is astonishing. So many fans have completely lost their minds.

I swear they were just playing the pause screen music from Goldeneye at the end of this Lakers game. Wild pull.

Every still and clip I’ve seen from the Stranger Things finale looks like total dogshit

I am very tired of teams shooting out of their god damn minds against OKC

Free Mark Williams

Went back and watched the play where Hartenstein went down. No contact, and grabbing the back of his lower leg that’s been bothering him. Pretty scary moment. Seems like, at best, he’ll be back on the shelf for a few more weeks. Hopefully he’s finally able to get right.
