Recap:
I don’t know what to say. It was a shit pick. I don’t know how that game went the way it went. I know Cousins played better but to still not pressure him and load the box was crazy. They had to know the Falcons were going to run the ball. It shouldn’t have been that hard to press the line and stop Bijan early. They gave the Falcons the ability to run and it allowed Cousins to get comfortable in that game. Sirianni is back on the list. I am officially completely out on that fucking loser. He had that game. He had it. I was taking shit live and he also killed a future. If you go for it on 4th and 4 early in the game why not go for it on 4th and 3 to seal the game. The logic there makes no sense. Especially since picking up that 3rd and 3 looked easy if Barkley just caught the ball. Why not make them stop you one more time. I get to go up by six but if you already thought you could get it to begin the game then you should go for it for less yards to end the game. If they don’t get it they probably play more aggressive defense too and do not allow Cousins all the time in the world to drive down the field. Fuck. I hate Sirianni. I guess it was a simple primetime under too. Fuck.

Groundbreaking Analysis:
Back to the WNBA. I know I have been counting down the days where I can stop writing this but at least I still have something. I didn’t like the NRFI’s too and I felt they have been too hot after doing my research. I like this pick. The Mercury are locked in to the seventh seed. They have nothing to play for. They shouldn’t be going too hard and should be protecting their players from injuries. I expect not a lot of playing time from their starters and that means we get an under. This is an older team too so I expect them to want to rest up before the playoffs and not do anything crazy in a meaningless game. The Sparks also have nothing to play for and if I were them I would want the best odds in the draft sealed up tonight for the number one pick. This is ripe for a good ole under. Two teams with fuck all to play for who just go out there and miss shots all day and walk up down the court because who even gives a shit about this game. Give me this Under. Under. Under. Under. For Underia 🚇🏴
