Zappe took most of the reps today with Cunningham relieving him. Mac was there but didn’t throw.

I wish I could get as excited about stuff and Kornet does. He’s a gem.

I still think the Patriots are going to win a couple of these remaining games. Their defense and running game are decent enough and can’t get much worse at QB. Sadly, you are probably right. Praying Rodgers is actually back and playing when the Pats play the Jets the last game of the year. |

Bears just lost out on getting Maye/ Williams and MHJ. Awesome. Hopefully Murray can get hot now. They have the Carolina pick so, as of now, they have their choice of all 3 of them. But not 2 of the 3 i think was the point |

Arizona wins the tiebreaker and haven't had their bye week yet so if we lose all our remaining games, we get the second pick. I think that's how it is. If the tie breaker is SOS then we need to see how the rest of the teams do the rest of the year. |

I had assumed that Brisett and Svi would have been getting minutes in a game like this. But I like the outcome by a shorthanded team. I do kind of wish they could land on a backup wing or two to fit that spot in the rotation. That guy or guys is going to play a decent amount and they’ve been cycling through those two plus Banton. Only 16 games in; lots of experimenting going on still. It’s good they are winning games while doing that. |

Love seeing Panthers fire their coach, maybe the new guy can get them a few wins! They don't care, with Bears owning their pick. Yeah It's like people don't get we want to lose, Ryland kick was money. Stop watching sport radio, bashing bill for not going for a TD. It's like they just don't get it, only way this season is salvaged is by getting a top pick, which means hopefully, losing out. Not too many winnable games left for Arizona. The Bears and Cards do play one another so at least one of them will pick up another W. Panthers games are all likely losers but also possible wins so it’s interesting. Cards play: @steelers (Long shot) 49ers. (Loss) @bears (winnable, but even a loss might help) @eagles (loss) Seattle (likely loss but winnable division game at home) Bears play: @ Vikings (w) Lions (possible w) @browns (possible w) Cards (winnable) Falcons (possible w) @packers. (Possible w) Panthers play: @ Tampa (possible w) @ Saints (possible w) Falcons Packers @ jags Tampa Edited to show bears last game and the W against the Vikings |

I don't get why people want to trade Duran. He turns singles into doubles like no one else I've ever seen. He had 34 doubles in 332 ABs. That's downright Speakerian. I also thought his defense improved (not Speakerian, though) and by all accounts he worked hard on it. I wanted to trade him this time last year but now I want to see him take another step forward. I feel like he’s one of those players who’s upside far outweighs his trade value so you’d be trading him for something that has a high floor but low ceiling and I don’t see the point in something like that. Of course he’s not untouchable so he’s very tradable but I don’t see the value being worth what he could possibly be. |

I think it’s a given he’s back unless a team offers real money to him, which is unlikely. However, if they did, I wouldn’t be too keen on using real cap space for him. It’s interesting looking at his grade history on PFF, he alternates back and forth each year. One year is a lot better pass-blocking and the next it’s run blocking. |

No, according to him, he was scared his fan base was going to make Leonard mad so he torched the team on the court. “Don’t poke the bear” i believe was his quote. That was his explanation to the media postgame. It does not contradict what I wrote. Whatever his reasoning for taking action, it in no way makes him a "loser." His CV speaks for itself. Or perhaps you can top it? I don’t know what CV means, but I can change my insult from “loser” to DB (or A-hat) if it makes you feel better. I don’t want to get into the semantics of what a loser is. Guys an ass |

Josh Giddey just Wander Francoed his career by dating a 15 year old girl (granted, she does look a bit more... MATURE I guess, may God have mercy on my soul). Which is a shame, I really liked his game and the Thunder team was looking like it could be a monster for a long time. Josh Kiddey |

Can we talk about how big of a loser Popovich is? He saw a thing happening he thought was wrong & he had the ability to address it, perhaps change it (perhaps not) -- so he did. That makes him a "loser" in your world? Not mine. No, according to him, he was scared his fan base was going to make Leonard mad so he torched the team on the court. “Don’t poke the bear” i believe was his quote. |

The end of this game was in no way the same as the issues the last few years. The ball was moving all over the court when the Celtics were on offenses right up until the end, they were getting good looks, they just happened to have a couple of shots rim out and also miss a single ft in the last 2 minutes. Meanwhile Lillard got red hot and took the whole offense with him for a bit, leading to a run right at the end that made the final score closer than it really was. That's just basketball, didn't look anything like the late game collapses of years past. My biggest complaint about the “end” (last 4/5 minutes) of the game was they took a couple early shot clock 3s that weren’t really open looks created thru the flow of the offense. They were trying too hard to stick the dagger instead of moving the ball for a good shot. I don’t want them just dribbling out the shot clock but if they aren’t going to take a good shot then I’d rather them do that at least. A three 6 seconds into the clock that wasn’t produced by a nice drive and kick to a wide open guy is basically handing a possession to Milwaukee. That being said, everything changes if Porzingis isn’t out of the game and flow due to foul trouble and it’s fair to think Tatum was likely exhausted at the end of the game due to 3rd game in 4 nights with a lot of travel and being sick. So essentially, they didn’t have their 2 best at the rim options second half of the 4th so surviving is still a positive. |

Can we talk about how big of a loser Popovich is? Shut up dude. Say something after the game if you want to address your fans about booing. I mean, I agree booing a guy who won you Titles is a jackass but cmon now.

Jaylen for Anunoby + Boucher is pretty close on salary, I will wish it into existence on 1/22/24 (the day after Jaylen can be dealt) I hear what you’re saying but we watch Jaylen every day so he actually gets penalized for that. If you don’t think OG is inconsistent as hell, it’s because you don’t watch him daily and he’s only a year younger than Jaylen Brown. He also can’t score like Brown can. |

If Pritchard has found his shot, it’s going to be sweet. It’s arguably the main thing that’s not going well that should be so far this year. Some how, his net rating is still near the top of the league.

Was good to see Neemias Queta back in action; I liked what I saw from him in preseason, however, he needs to go to Maine and get some big minutes. I chose to just watch him while he was on the court and he was in a blender the entire time. I don’t fault him for that; he’s a young guy who’s gotten no minutes since pre-season. Get him some time in Maine, playing big minutes then get him back here and play him, simplify things for him on the court and get him used to the speed and see what happens.

So got big wins from Giants and Packer… Jets and Rams wins would be a great afternoon. We want Jets in playoff race so hopefully Rodgers is back when we play them at the end of the year.

Heading into the first games last quarters, here’s what Pats fans should want:
1. Giants win
2. Packers win
3. Jets win
4. Carolina win (within 7 so I mentioned it but it’s not happening)
Edit add: Arizona win over Houston, back within - score with 10 left.
