Clingan was outplayed by Luke Cornet, a backup who is massively outplayed in the finals

I'm really disappointed with Clingan the more I see the Spurs in the playoffs. Could he really play meaningful minutes in a deep playoff run?

Knopfler lyrics that hit you personally

Mine:

Skint in a material world

I did a warehouse stint for Southsea girl

It was Hong Kong clothes for cash

Everybody got treated worse than trash

Punch the card in the company clock

Load the trolleys and the company trucks

And around and around the whole day through

And you couldn't sit down when there was nothing to do

That last line was every shit job I've ever had.

Title + Nearby town + Posh absurd name. Example: Lord Chudleigh Mittenwater

It's a little game I started to kill time when I was a Scouts leader. I got all the kids to go by their new names for an overnight.

Best audiobooks on Youtube

I've found Lonesome Dove, The Talented Mr Ripley and also all the Sherlock Holmes on there. Anything else you love?

Honestly a premium YouTube account is worth it just to skip ads and easily play audio with the screen off, which is perfect for audiobooks.

Jaylen Brown for our first round pics and JG/filler?

I feel like he's the real prize we're after this summer. A team of Dame, Brown, Tou, Deni and DC may not be a contender, but it isn't far off if we can bolster the bench. I heard Bill Simmons discuss it the other day and he seemed genuinely happy about the idea of it nets them Giannis.

He's 30 next year, so he's still got some tread on his tires. Are the Bucks picks plus our first rounder enough to get him? Is Shae or Scoot going to have to be included instead?

After every game the league reviews tape and identifies any sort of acting (flailing, shouting' falling etc) that is pretty clearly designed to get a whistle. We publish stats of each case by player and team. If you rack up enough flops (say 5), you're automatically suspended a game. It compounds, so the more flops the more suspensions. It carries over into the playoffs.

I think the combination of public shaming statistics and missed games would completely eliminate flopping quite quickly.
