Takeaways for Suns-Kings game (at the half):
* Suns can't shoot. 39% from the field.
* Kings aren't even the best version of themselves and they look really good. Just need to clean up some sloppiness.
* Suns need to be better at transition defense. That's the cost of focusing on offensive rebounds.

I probably played thousands of hours of NBA Live 04. That’s the game that got me into basketball. We’re both old. lol.

As a Suns fan, I might shut this off by the half. This is bad bball. Suns can rebound and that’s about it.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 1d

Honestly, same, except I don’t have a burrito.

Black metal is the perfect music for Halloween. Listening to 90’s prog black metal classics Diabolical Masquerade. Their album Nightwork is 👌.

Dude, you’re a time-saver! I’ve been needing this. I appreciate you!

What an exhilarating double overtime game! Congrats Thunder!

SGA wasn't much of a factor until the end of the game with his clutch shots. The Rockets big-man lineup gave the OKC offense quite a challenge. Rockets were efficient on offense, but couldn't quite pull it out in the end.

PoG: SGA

This opening game is everything I could've hoped for. It goes into overtime. SGA tied it with a middie with 2 seconds left. Rockets toss it to Sengun who misses the potentially game-winning turn-around shot.

Basketball is fun, man.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 2d

Both the Rockets and Thunder are playing good defense. They're making it really difficult for each other to score. This is fun, close game at 82-79, Rockets winning over Thunder so far.

He has a medical condition called Muddy Sclera. It's harmless, but it causes his eyes to look kind of bloodshot.

At halftime, it looks like Rockets are playing better (6-point lead). They got 5 steals. SGA has been underwhelming. Rockets are struggling to find rhythm, but are playing tough, physical defense. Thunder gotta got their head in the game.

Hell yeah, this is gonna be a fun season. I’m a Suns fan but I’m watching everyone.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 2d

Love it! The shirt’s 🔥

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 2d

So excited to see the NBA season kick off with the Thunder and Rockets. I'm curious to see how Durant does with the Rockets. Amen Thompson is one of my faves to watch. I have both of these teams ranked pretty high in the Western conference. Got my Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter. Let's fucking go!

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 2d

I’d say 33-36 wins or so. Not a bad team but we have a new coach/scheme. The name of the game is patience.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 4d

lol. No, but that’s funny.
Either just Go Pack Go or Defense. The crowd was surprisingly kind of quiet for the Packers offense. I think the Cardinals were more affected by the crowd than the Packers. It was just a sea of green.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 4d

My throat is so hoarse from cheering so loud at today's Packer game. I could barely talk. Right now, I'm nursing my throat with a pint of ice cream. LOL.

At least my screaming was rewarded with a win. Yes, I'm delusional enough to think that my hard work as a fan counts for something on the field.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 4d

I'm so proud of all of my fellow Packers fans who were at the Cardinals game. We were LOUD! Even @andyhermannfl.bsky.social remarked that our Go Pack Go chants could be heard on the broadcast. Literally 80% of the fans who showed up were Packers fans. We go the win. I love you all. Go Pack Go!

I’m fucking ecstatic to listen to the pod tomorrow. Bet you guys are exhausted, though. Gonna drink a shot on your behalf.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 10d

It’s gonna be god awful if the Bills win. You absolutely need any fucking score at all to beat teams like the Bills. They take advantage of your missed scoring opportunities.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 10d

They had 1:15 to start the drive with 2 timeouts. They let 20 seconds pass after the first play. They really took their time on their side of the field. They could’ve had a lot more time to either get a touchdown or a field goal if they used time outs, which they never used.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 10d

Because of God awful clock management by the Falcons in the 2-minute drill.

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 11d

I cannot wait to get my halloween costume! Can y'all guess what I'm gonna be?

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 11d

Glad we got the win, but this Packers game was more stressful than it needed to be. Sheeeesh. 😅

Nick @arnulf12.bsky.social · 11d

Close, but he did throw a pick to Xavier McKinney in the last game, right before the half.
