91 & 92 Back 2 Back. 01 was sweet, 02? shy of the feat. Zoubek clutch in 10, Hayward clanked the rim. 15 Freshman ruled, JJ deserves a title, Grayson deserved 2

My official Duke toughness report from last night:

🍦 Caleb Foster — Soft Serve Ice Cream: Melted the second things got heated.

🫧 JBB — A Wet Cotton Ball: Somehow softer than Charmin Ultra Soft. A light breeze could knock him out of the paint.

🛏️ John Blackwell — Memory Foam: Showed some resistance, but eventually folded under pressure.

🛋️ Cayden Boozer — Decorative Pillow: Looks great on the couch, absolutely terrible for sleeping.

🪑 Derron Rippey — Firm Couch Cushion: Held his shape. At least somebody had some support.

🧻 Dame Sarr — Charmin Ultra Soft: 2-ply, dermatologist tested, zero resistance.

🏊 Sebastian Wilkins — Pool Noodle: Six feet of foam getting tossed around in the shallow end.

🫘 Big Pat — Beanbag Chair: Big body, but somehow everybody sinks right through him.

🧱 Drew Scharnowski — Cinder Block: Only thing on the roster you could build a foundation with.

🍌 Jon Scheyer — Overripe Banana:

🚨MINNESOTA JUST GOT CAUGHT RED-HANDED

James O’Keefe and Cam Higby walked into Minneapolis polling places on primary day dressed in full Muslim garb and a burka… and the poll workers told them the quiet part out loud.

One registered voter = the ID for up to EIGHT unregistered people.

“You’re the ID.”
“I can vouch for them. They are not registered… That’s okay. That’s fine.”
“If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people.”

No standard ID required. Just a signature and a smile. Verification happens “after the fact.”

This is the system they still call secure.
This is how same-day registration works in Minnesota. This is how easy it is.

Every American needs to see this before the midterms.

FIFA is corrupt. But that doesn't mean reinstating Balo is a result of said corruption.

It was a terrible, tournament altering call. They broke their own protocol in order to issue it in the first place.
Leaving it as such would've been more evident of the corruption.

A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:

BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.

The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.

When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.

In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.

This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.

The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.

Magic retired at 36, Bird retired at 35,
Jordan at 38 (we call ceremonial years)
Kobe at 37 farewell tour and praised, Tim Duncan retired at 40 and his last couple years he was allowed to just be and play. No expectations. Dirk made all star game at 40 averaging 7 and 3 because he was appreciated and honored. Draymond says LeBron deserves that and people get in an uproar. It happens to all the greats. Why is it a problem with a LeBron?

Anyway

LeBron at 41 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. KD at 37 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. Steph at 38 team ridiculed for being in play in. I don’t know when we got here but we live in the era of discredit and hypocrisy; but how quickly we forget how we treated the greats of old. 🤷🏾‍♂️

UPDATE: Chris Ostroushko says that the backlash his family has been receiving for their actions last weekend has been “overwhelming” and “nonstop”

He’s now “second guessing” living in the United States, because he’s unhappy with how negatively the public has reacted to him assaulting a woman on camera.

He is in complete disbelief, stating that, "I've never had anything like this happen in my life".

Chris and Deyanna have been going on a press tour continuing to assert that they are the real victims, despite millions watching the footage of them instigating everything.

There is also a GoFundMe for them, where they are currently trying to raise $8k, stating that they’ve lost their jobs and, “are facing one of the most overwhelming and life-altering moments they have ever experienced”.

The family has still taken zero accountability for any of the violence they committed and are in complete shock that they are facing consequences for their actions.

Last week Chris also did an interview where he lied, stating that his family is “absolutely not violent" and that all he did was "stay back and watch" everything, despite being on camera shoving me multiple times.

The Duke - TCU shot chart. Here is one team that embraces analytics and the concept of what a good shot is (3s and shots in the lane, especially at the rim) and one that takes a ton of awful mid-range jumpers.
That's how one team shot 55% from the field and one shot 33%.
