This is factually incorrect. Last year he averaged 17.5 FG attempts per game, which was the highest of his career. The year before was 14.8. Also, with the more shots last year, his FG% also went down. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/walljo01.html Anyway, enough of my Wall hating, lol. This team has a legit shot to be 0-9 before facing the 76ers! Hopefully Scotty can turn things around for us. I have no idea if Mahini would help things or not. Also, F Ted. Probably a nice guy but not a good sports owner at all. +1 on tshile's post.

Come again? Kidd was a terrible shooter and didn't shoot much late in his career. That's what I want Wall to do. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Wall shouldn't be scoring 20+ a night because when he does it's usually based on volume. I knew we'd get back to Ernie somehow!

Part hyperbole, mostly truth. But you got the point. 40.9%, 42.3%, 44.1%, 43.3%, 44.5%, 42.4% - those are his FG percentages each year. And he's a career 31.8% from 3 point range. I cringe when dude takes a jumper because it's usually not going in. His best two-point shooting year was in 2014-15 and he shot 47.8%. The rest of the seasons are around 45% and below. I'd rather him shoot the ball less and create for other players, that's all I'm saying.

I reallllly want to love John Wall, but the only way I will is if they don't let him shoot the ball ever again outside of the paint. Dude is a horrible shooter and has not improved at all. I wish he'd play more like a Stockton/Kidd type and just dish out assists all night. He has games where I'm like "wow, we have an elite top player!" Then he has the games where he can't get out of his own way. And I swear to God/Allah/Yahweh/BabyJeebus/Etc if he attempts anymore game winners, I'm gonna go postal. I especially love when he dribbles the clock down at the end of games from 20 seconds and attempts an off balance buzzer beater with 2 guys draped all over him. That's my favorite. I know we're not trading him, but I wouldn't be sad if we listened to offers.

This is the best thread on the site now that there is no more twitter thread.

I played Lansdowne on Saturday with some friends. It was gorgeous out! I shot 92, which is about average for me. Lost a couple of balls, so the penalty strokes killt me. It's in super nice shape right now and the greens were rolling well. Probably going to play Twin Lakes on Sunday morning and walk it with a couple of buddies. I did just buy a couple dozen of the Kirkland Signature golf balls. They've gotten tremendous reviews, so I can't wait to try them out this weekend.

For-profit healthcare is the devil.

Grant pisses me off whenever he's in the game or gets thrown to.

I'm about a 16.5 hdcp and my friends are around 11-13. I know I'm not very good, but I love to play. It beats what most other people do with their free time! We try to keep it below $65ish when we go play, but will gladly splurge on a nice course if the opportunity presents itself. I get spoiled by getting to play Lansdowne so often for only twenty-five bones. The pain feels...so good.

Yeah, Virginia Oaks has not been very good the past few years. Hopefully they can right the ship. Where does everyone play regularly? My friends and I play 4-6 times a month. The courses we frequent the most are Lansdowne (I get a sweet hookup), Twin Lakes, Algonkian, South Riding, Pleasant Valley, and Brambleton. We have push carts so we walk the **** out of Twin/Donk/Brammy.

You definitely have to hit it that far nowadays. You can't be hitting 4 and 5 irons into a green when others are hitting 8 or 9 irons. That's a huge disadvantage. If you watch Henrik Stenson - he loves his 3 wood and smokes that thing. But it's going the same distance as most player's drivers.

If Tiger can get to the point where he's fully healthy and can play everyday with nothing hurting, then he's totally going to be back winning events on tour. He just hasn't been healthy enough to put in the needed practice the last few years. It's all about the repetitions. I'm glad he decided to back out of the Safeway Open. I don't know if he'll ever win majors again, but he can get around Augusta based off memory. If there's a major he can snap off while not being on top of his game week in and week out, it's the Masters. Maybe he'll give us a Jack moment in a couple of years.

There's no way I'll watch a preseason basketball game, lol. But this team will be a 38 to 43 win team. I'm anxious to see what weird move Ernie makes at the trade deadline to save his ass. Again.

If I lived out of the area of my sports teams, I would totally cut the cord. I basically have Xfinity just so I can see my O's, Caps, and Wiz, it seems. That's the only thing stopping me.

I posted in the real RTT, but will post the same question here. At FedEx, are they enforcing which letter lot you go to? I have an E-Green pass, but didn't know if I could slide into the A-Green without issue. I'm assuming no, but figured I'd check here first.

I want to spork my eyeballs out.

That dude Ian (EYE-IN) drives me nuts whenever he calls in! He calls into every show on 980 and the hosts always cringe when he starts to talk. I think he calls in every single day.

Why is John Wall at a foosball game when he should be at the gym practicing his jumper? SMDGlasses Sarcasm for those playing at home.

Damn, Trent is questionable for Sunday with a glute/hip issue. He tweaked it in practice yesterday. He better rub some dirt on it!!

Duck Fallas!!

I like it too. Too bad we won't see those uniforms on the field at all.

Well, did you understand the point, or not? It's not reaching. We can go more current, since you view that as more meaningful. 2014 Patiots won the SB, but lost in game 1 to the Dolphins by double digits 2011 Giants won the SB, but lost in game 1 to the Redskins by double digits 2007 Giants won the SB, but lost the first 2 games to the Cowboys and Packers by a combined score of 80-48 Everyone can disregard all of this information if they want, but the point is that the results of game 1 just don't mean ****. The season is not over due to 1 poorly played game. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Yeah, I'm concerned about our defense, but making a snap judgment of this team right now is not the right time. Wait until we get 4 or 5 games in before we hit the panic button over alarming trends.

LOL @ everyone thinking the sky is falling. It's one game against a top NFL team. It does not define the season. Get off the ledge, don't jump. In 2003, the Pats lost to the Bills 31-0 in week 1, then lost to the Skins in week 4, 20-17. That team went 14-2 and won a trophy.

It'll be chuck and duck the rest of the season while they are playing from behind. YOU get a target, YOU get a target, EVERYONE GETS A TARGET!!

Agreed. Only 2 targets, but they were right in the bread basket. HowevA, last year with McCown at the helm for 8 games, Barnidge had 46 receptions.
