It’s excellent! I’ll be curious to hear your favorite tracks

Hey Joe! Hope you’re well! Here’s my ?- Do you believe the offensive improvement needed to make this team a true juggernaut and rectify the shooting woes of the playoffs can be achieved the current roster?

Al and I seem to like some of the indie darlings and it’s nice for those games especially because sometimes they can take a while to port to consoles. Additionally, it’s the true agnostic console that also allows for emulation

I can’t stress enough how great the steam deck is- you get the portability but also a really massive library of PC supported titles. I’m also impressed by how the AAA titles it can support. For the price points and our lifestyle, I think it’s the best option out there for the present and the future

Day 50 I think, but it didn’t stop there…

I was gonna DM you about it and I’m bummed I didn’t do it sooner. There is a real sense of satisfaction when you get to 46 but the trial and error is even more rewarding

Where are you? Your walk beats my walk

Not a joke, let me see if it can find the video. It’s a short clip of Shai taking the floor set with that song in background

Steve- do you still have that video of Shai in black and white with the song by Mitski ‘my love mine all mine’?

Rylan- thanks for being active on Bluesky! It’s much appreciated and I hope the larger audience will make the transition from Twitter.

Hard not to hear- look at the big brains on Brett @brettdawson.bsky.social

Thanks for this! Buying now. I’ll send you DM with some of our favorites lately

Can you shoot me a link Al? Indoor bouncy house in snowy Minnesota has been a game changer

Do you have sense if intention is to retain theis?

Who are political analysts you respect in this climate? Alternatively, what nba players across the league do you think fit thunder archetype?

Agreed and what I can’t understand is it’s not like you’re really losing anything, it’s a superior user experience & it’s also not a vacant house, there are tons of amazing voices and follows here, it’s just supplementing it. TBC, these are just ?s beyond the more critical, don’t support a nazi

I mean I was digging up possibilities like kennard, Chris Paul because they were expirings but that was just a wasted exercise- there is no natural fit with this team construction, salary and ability to add without subtracting

Only real construction I would be ok with is Joe, Dieng & picks- you could talk me into topic but that feels short sighted. there’s a multi team structure that could work but it seems like heartburn is inevitable. I had circled Keon Ellis but that recent play and it being long shot to begin with…

Hey Steve- been missing your commentary- I assume you’ve been more active on Twitter. Have to ask while you’re here in the Sky haha - what’s your preference on Cam J trade and any other options you care to predict?

It did not, nor did it to AC but it would be something to get total clarity/that buy-in before making the trade as this would be a multi year investment where you’d be trading a guy in Joe, Wiggins or both that are clearly amenable to fluctuating playing time

I should clarify- lesser role, I.e. not starter, more in 25 min range than 34 which I think is only what starters get - assuming Chet and ihart start together

The only question I have and it’s not really a concern but is there a willingness on his part to accept a lesser role a la Caruso because if the cost is Wiggins, topic, Dieng and firsts (esp in this draft) it’s as much a roster management strategy as it is ‘winning the trade’

Quite impressive! Happy holidays to you and your family Al!

Hey Ben! Glad you’re onboard the ship. As far as NBA I’d like analysis on two or three player combinations and why they’re successful- I find this type of harmony interesting and worthy of more analysis. For draft I’d like exploring what prospects align with specific teams play style or needs

Thanks Jon! It was @rylanstiles.bsky.social @brandonrahbar.bsky.social @joemussatto.bsky.social enjoying the ‘don’t get drunk off the box score’ that spurred the idea for getting a shirt made. There’s just too many classics at this point. Please add any that come to mind!

The best exorcism since friedkin did it

Persist Al Persist

This is profoundly hilarious material- bravo

Fun to watch them so quickly turn off any flow they were able to get especially considering end of last game
