The way that only Biscuit's sister can understand him and to everyone else his words are just repeated nonsense and he's effectively mute and Sunny barely speaks in-game after Mari's death and she manages to know what Omori wants advice on instantly in HS and Mari and Sunny have really similar hair designs and so do Biscuit and Doughie/Bowen and Daphne and the latter have a cute healthy relationship where they understand and support each other in any world and yet they're still miserable and Sunny's been depressed since he lost his sister so even looking back on when he was happy makes him feel sad and D&B have a little brother who thinks they're scary and Sunny's scared of Something and facing the truth and both families have conflicts but Daphne and Bowen and Mikhael are still alive and together and love each other but Sunny and Mari aren't anymore and Mikal & the Unbread Twins are entirely seperated in HS and have been for years and years if they even had any connection in the first place bc how the heck is a monkey and bread gods family makes me go akdjjfkghkfjgh bc there are so many parallels between literally everyone and everything

Chicago Bulls NBA Draft Recap

Let me be clear. I am NOT happy with the Bulls 1st selection in this year’s 2018 NBA Draft. With the 7th overall pick, Chicago selected Duke’s PF/C Wendell Carter, Jr.

Oh no. Ugh. Weird. Pictures are truly worth a thousand words….or at least 4.

Wendell Carter is 6’10” 259. He played one average year at Duke for Coach K. But what is Carter? Is he a center? A stretch four? A regular power forward in the Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Al Horford, or Elton Brand mold? An undersized center? Underperforming shooter, scorer, and student? Yes. A kid with helicopter parents that seem to be leaning toward becoming the next Mr. and Mrs. LaVar Ball? Yes, unfortunately.

Wendell Carter, Jr. with his goofy parents, who claimed Duke and Coach K did nothing for them. Let’s hope Wendell is more mature than mom and dad.

  The Bulls could’ve had Villanova’s SF 6’7″ Mikal Bridges, who was selected at #10 by Philadelphia but was then traded to Phoenix. Ugh sauce! Mark it down: The Bulls will painfully regret taking Carter over Bridges. The 6’7″ Mikal Bridges is a lanky, athletic shooter with good 3-point range and the ability to drive to the hoop and slam dunk the ball dramatically. He is an excellent defender with long arms. Does this sound familiar to Bulls fans? Yes it does. You know what I’m thinking. Bridges is a Doberman. Bridges is the next Scottie Pippen, who was also 6’7″.

Scottie with a lanky dribble.

Mikal with a lanky dribble.

And we could have had him. Instead, we took the next Elton Brand, at best. I am furious about this pick!

On the other hand, I’m intrigued by the 22nd pick, 6’7″ Chandler Hutchison from Boise St. I’ve never watched Hutchison play. I’ve only seen his highlight package and he does look impressive. He’s very similar to Mikal Bridges, to be quite honest. He’s lanky. He’s a slasher. He worked hard on his game and improved a ton throughout college. So I can see what the Bulls were thinking here. They were probably against taking Bridges at #7 because they felt like they could take Hutchison at #22 and he’d be just as good.

Chandler Hutchison at #22 overall might be good. He looks like Scottie too.

Well, maybe the Bulls brass is right. Over the years, both John Paxson and Gar Forman have had their ups and downs. Drafting Jimmy Butler? Genius. Drafting Marquis Teague? Unacceptable. But that’s sports. You win some, you lose some.

As a 12-year-old, I remember being very upset when the Bulls drafted 7’0″ C Olden Polynice from Virginia (whom I knew from watching college basketball) and trading him for a no-name from Central Arkansas (whom I knew absolutely zilch about). That dude was…… Scottie Pippen. Polynice ended up with an undistinguished journeyman career for 10 teams, averaging 7.8 ppg and 6.7 rpg.

Mikal Bridges with a nice left-handed dunk. Looks like Scottie here.

On the other hand, Pippen ended up in the Hall of Fame after winning 6 rings! He averaged 16.1 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 5.2 apg, and 2.0 spg. He set many NBA records including career playoff steals. In general, Scottie simply dominated his opponents as Michael Jordan’s sidekick. He became an icon and one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players of All-Time. Most experts put Scottie in their top 25 players ever.

So what’s my point? My point is I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again. I hope I’m wrong about Wendell Carter but I have a bad, bad feeling that we just let the next Scottie Pippen slip through our hands.

The famous Pippen over Ewing dunk!

Mikal Bridges doing his best Scottie impersonation.

If I were the Bulls brass, I obviously would’ve taken Mikal Bridges at #7 to build around young stars Lauri Markkanen, Zach LaVine, and Kris Dunn. At #22, I would’ve drafted another Villanova player, legacy and phenom PG Jalen Brunson. Brunson ended up going to the Dallas Mavericks at #33 overall, the 3rd pick in the 2nd round. Mark it down: Jalen will have a solid if not spectacular career. He’s a smart point guard who led his team to the state or national titles in three of his last four seasons. Think about that.

Jalen in his early high school days

He’s a winner. He’s a leader. He’s a smart kid, trust me. Most of all, Jalen is a good person. Self disclosure is I am biased since I have known Jalen since his early days at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL. From the minute we saw him in high school, we all knew he was going to the NBA.

How does the Naismith College Player of the Year and the John R. Wooden Award Winner (along with many other outstanding NCAA awards) not get taken until the 33rd pick? Only one reason….. his height. Jalen is somewhere between 6’1″ and 6’3″. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again. JB is the best player I’ve ever seen at his height. He’s the best high schooler I’ve ever seen in my 43 years. Period. The best word to describe Jalen is “poise”. His maturity was there from the very beginning. He knows how to control tempo, give his team confidence and energy, and of course, he knows how to score and pass. JB averaged 26.1 ppg his Junior year in high school but he’s the kind of young man who could have scored way more, probably 35 ppg if he wanted to be selfish. We knew he could. He once scored 57 against Lake Forest HS (underrated team, maybe the 2nd best in Illinois in ’14 and ’15) and an IHSA state playoff record 56 points against Jahlil Okafor and Whitney Young in the IHSA state semifinals. So he’s proven he can be like James Harden. But that’s not Jalen. He’s a team guy. A winner. Overall, Jalen is one of the greatest young athletes I’ve ever known. Classy, unselfish, smart, and talented. What a kid!

Dunk you very much!

Jalen’s father Rick played for 9 years in the NBA. Trust me when I say that Jalen is way better than his dad. He’ll have a long and prosperous career. Will he be a great player? I don’t know. But what I do know is I wouldn’t doubt him. What I know for sure is that he’ll be a solid NBA player for a long, long time. The Bulls could’ve used him as a backup to Kris Dunn, at worst. Knowing Jalen, he would probably beat out Dunn as the starter before too long.

One word: Poise.

Overall, the Bulls could have had Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson, two superstars from the college ranks that know how to win. That’s all they did at Villanova under head coach Jay Wright. They won two National Championships in three years.

The Bulls won the game 75-68 to lead the series 2-0. AFP PHOTO/VINCENT LAFORET (Photo credit should read VINCENT LAFORET/AFP/Getty Images)

Instead, Pax and Forman took an unathletic 6’10” power forward with some red flags and a project from Boise St. Maybe the Bulls will prove me wrong, but in this case I feel very strongly that Bridges and Brunson would’ve been the better choices.

Who would you rather have? Bridges and Brunson, or Carter and Hutchison?

There were 6 guys drafted in the 1st round that were unranked coming out of HS. (Mikal Bridges, Jerome Robinson, Zhaire Smith etc.) There were 10 guys drafted in the 2nd round that were unranked in HS. There’s room for you! The lion writes the story instead of the hunter. #Yoda

2018 NBA Mock Draft

1.      Phoenix Suns: Deandre Ayton, C, Arizona

It seems like this pick is all but a foregone conclusion. Ayton goes to the Suns and stays in the state of Arizona. Ayton will be another building block for the Suns to go Along with Josh Jackson and Devin Booker.

2.      Sacramento Kings: Marvin Bagley III, F/C, Duke

To me, it seems the Kings will either select Luka Doncic or Marvin Bagley, and there have been mixed signals on whether or not the Kings are keen on Doncic. Either way, the Kings need an instant impact player, and Bagley can provide that.

3.      Atlanta Hawks: Luka Doncic, G, Real Madrid

Doncic could go anywhere from 1-4 with Memphis likely being his floor and Sacramento likely his ceiling. Atlanta seems like they will be deciding between Doncic and Jaren Jackson for the third pick. ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski “Woj” reported that Doncic had moved to the front of Atlanta’s draft conversations.

4.      Memphis Grizzlies: Jaren Jackson Jr., C, Michigan State

Jackson is a defensive monster whose 3 point shot is huge for today’s NBA. His ability to guard along the perimeter will also be tremendous toward his future success in the league. He could easily end up being the best player in the draft

5.      Dallas Mavericks: Mo Bamba, C, Texas

The Mavericks would be ecstatic if Doncic fell to them, but it seems unlikely that will happen. With what is left on the board for the Mavs it will come down to Bamba vs. Porter.

6.      Orlando Magic: Wendell Carter Jr, F/C, Duke

Hoops Habit had an excellent piece detailing the fit of Carter with the Magic and how Carter and Jonathan Isaac could grow together and the defensive potential the bring to Orlando will be significant. Its also known that the Magic have had Carter in for a workout, so there is interest in him.

7.      Chicago Bulls: Michael Porter Jr, F, Missouri

The Injury question mark is why Porter falls to #7 as he has an argument for the most talented player in the draft, but the questions regarding his back injury are very real. The Bulls seem like they love Porter and if available at 7 seems like they will be picking Porter.  

8.      Cleveland Cavaliers: Shai Gilgeous Alexander, PG, Kentucky

ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony said that “If Michael Porter is gone, it seems to be a toss-up at the moment between Young and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Cleveland at #8.” Givony gave Alexander the nod, and I do as well. Alexander has a few advantages on Sexton, the biggest being size. Alexander is 6’6 versus Sexton who is 6’1.5 and his wingspan 6’11.5 versus Sextons 6’7.25.  

9.      New York Knicks: Kevin Knox, F, Kentucky

The New York Post had a piece recently saying that the Knicks were serious about drafting Kentucky forward Kevin Knox after a recent workout in which Knox was said to have been terrific from an NBA source. Knox is the second youngest player in the draft and has sky-high potential but also fits the Knicks need for a wing.

10.  Philadelphia 76’ers: Mikal Bridges, F, Villanova

Mikal Bridges is a prototypical 3 and D wing and fits perfectly with the 76’ers. Bridges is an elite defender while also being an excellent shooter hitting 43.5% from 3 point range. The 76’ers need shooters to help space the floor with Ben Simmons having limited range.  

11.  Charlotte Hornets: Colin Sexton, PG, Alabama

At this point, it seems that Charlotte will take a point guard with the pick being Sexton. If Gilgeous Alexander were here, I believe he would be the pick, and there hasn’t been much buzz regarding their interest in Trae Young. With rumors swirling around Kemba Walker, it will be interesting to see if Charlotte could trade him for another lottery pick.

12.  Los Angeles Clippers: Trae Young, PG, Oklahoma

Young falling this far may not happen, but there are serious question marks on his measurable. his effort, and overall ability on the defensive side of the ball. At this point, it seems very possible Sexton and Gilgeous Alexander go in front of Young come draft night.

13.  Los Angeles Clippers: Lonnie Walker, SG, Miami

Walker’s stock is one that has risen throughout the draft process to the point that it could propel him all the way to the Sixers at the #10 spot. The Clippers look to remake their backcourt though Robert Williams seems as he could go here to replace DeAndre Jordan who appears likely to depart during free agency.  

14.  Denver Nuggets: Miles Bridges, F, Michigan State

Bridges is a strong player and an explosive athlete who can guard multiple positions in the league. Bridges is also a capable scorer with solid 3-point shooting which helps fill the Nuggets need for a wing.

15.  Washington Wizards: Robert Williams, F/C, Texas A&M

The Wizards just don’t have an athletic rim running big man on the roster currently. Williams changes that. Williams has a limited offensive game but with time could develop into a capable offensive center to complement his defensive abilities. John Wall will definitely appreciate this selection.

16.  Phoenix Suns: Zhaire Smith, SG, Texas Tech

Smith is an explosive athlete with a ready-made defensive game. An effective scorer in limited attempts, Smith profiles as defender of multiple positions in the league and his offensive game should grow steadily in his first few years with more opportunity.

17.  Milwaukee Bucks: Jerome Robinson, G, Boston College

Robinson’s stock has skyrocketed becoming a likely top 20 pick in the draft. As for his fit with the Bucks, Robinson is an excellent scorer with an effective 3 point stroke. At this point, the Bucks seem likely to take the best player available regardless of position.

18.  San Antonio Spurs: Donte DiVincenzo, SG, Villanova

DiVincenzo’s claim to fame was absolutely crushing the Final Four. He scored 15 against Kansas and then exploded for 31 versus Michigan shooting 5-7 from three-point range in that game. The Spurs seem like an excellent fit for DiVincenzo.

19.  Atlanta Hawks: Troy Brown, G/F, Oregon

Brown is a young and tantalizing prospect who is a versatile defender. He experienced some struggles on offense at Oregon but should develop more while in the league.

20.  Minnesota Timberwolves: Elie Okobo, PG, France

Okobo is a relative unknown to me, but all reports seem to place him solidly in the latter part of the first round. With some comparisons to Deron Williams, it appears the Wolves could take a gamble on the talented international.  

21.  Utah Jazz: Kevin Huerter, SG, Maryland

Huerter is a simple player as a threat on offense with a good 3-point stroke and an effort defender. He seems like a player who would fit nicely on the Jazz.

22.  Chicago Bulls: Chandler Hutchinson, F, Boise State

We know Hutchinson received a promise from a team it seems in the 21-30 range of the first round and many rumors are floating around that it is the Bulls. I’ll take the bait. Hutchinson is a pro-ready wing who immediately helps the Bulls, and at this point, that’s what the Bulls need.

23.  Indiana Pacers: Aaron Holiday, PG, UCLA

Both Darren Collison and Cory Joseph are free agents after this season making point guard an immediate need for the Pacers. Holiday is an effort defender with a nice 3-point stroke. It seems like he could flourish playing next to a star like Oladipo.

24.  Portland Trailblazers: Khyri Thomas, G, Creighton

Thomas is a really solid player and would be able to slide right in. He’ll be able to fill the role of a competent defender with good scoring ability and should be able to contend for minutes in the rotation early in his career.

25.Los Angeles Lakers: Mitchell Robinson, C, Chalmette HS (Chalmette, Louisiana)

The Lakers seem like they will either land Kawhi Leonard or LeBron – maybe even both – when the free agency period begins. Here, the Lakers take a gamble on Robinson. He didn’t play college ball this year after deciding to instead train for the NBA draft.

26.  Philadelphia 76’ers: Grayson Allen, G, Duke

With this pick, the 76’ers double down on shooting. Allen is a competitor and one of the most pro-ready players in the draft. He can make an immediate impact for the team by surrounding Ben Simmons with more offensive options to assist.  

27.  Boston Celtics: Moritz Wagner, F/C, Michigan

Wagner had a really solid postseason run for the Wolverines showcasing his abilities on the offensive end of the court and his rebounding on the defensive ends. There are a couple of questions that arise over his defense, but at this spot, the Celtics need to find a player who has the possibility of turning into something.

28.  Golden State Warriors: Jacob Evans III, F, Cincinnati

The Warriors don’t have a lot of holes on their roster. The only possible ones could come if the team doesn’t retain Patrick McCaw or Kevon Looney. With Evans, the champs receive a do-it-all forward with the ability to guard multiple positions and while also shooting 39.4% from 3.

29.  Brooklyn Nets: Hamidou Diallo, G, Kentucky

Diallo should have stayed in the draft last year, and it hurt his stock to come back to Kentucky, but his ceiling is exceptionally high. He is an explosive athlete who could be a very good 3 and D wing for the Nets.

30.  Atlanta Hawks: Josh Okogie, G, Georgia Tech

The Hawks stay in state with Georgia Tech’s Josh Okogie. Okogie is a two-way player who needs refinement on offense but should be a ready-made defender in the league. He helps add another defender on the wing for the Hawks making it two in this mock.

The NBA Draft is being held June 21, 2018, at 6:00pm (Central) in Brooklyn, NY and will be broadcast on ESPN. Free stream here.

”Ei tällaasilla seipähillä hiihrä sonnikaan”, tokaisi Juha Mieto http://ift.tt/2lGpfuvkeskeytettyään vuoden 1982 MM-hiihdon Oslon 50 kilometrillä.

Tämän päivän naisten 10 kilometrin kilpailun jälkeen Krista Pärmäkosken http://ift.tt/2h3Wl4zsuksien lipsuminen oli yksi puheenaiheista.

”Otin tänään matalamman suksen, ja se näkyi osittain luistossa. Matalammassa suksessa oli parempi pito. Sen takia lähdin sillä”, Pärmäkoski sanoihttp://ift.tt/2ln528v.

”Aika vähän on hiihdetty liisterikelillä. Ei vain löytynyt teknisesti sellaista hiihtoa, että olisi saanut sen suksen pitämään riittävästi.”

Voitelusta ja suksista on puhuttu hiihdon arvokisoissa aiemminkin. Jo vuonna 1999 HS:n jutussa arvioitiin, että kommentit ovat muuttuneet siistimmiksi yhtäältä yhteistyösopimusten takia ja toisaalta lojaalisuudesta huoltojoukkoja kohtaan. Lue Ramsaun MM-hiihtoja ennen tehty juttu tästähttp://ift.tt/2l9QSMV.

HS kokosi poimintoja kahden edellisen vuosikymmenen suksikommenteista.

Trondheim 1997

20 vuotta sitten Suomen miesten avausmatka meni penkin alle ja osasyyksi pohdittiin suksia.

Pari päivää myöhemmin kisatussa MM-yhdistetyssä nähtiin totaalinen epäonnistuminen yhden urheilijan osalta. Samppa Lajusen http://ift.tt/2lnf6yqkilpailu meni pieleen ja syytä etsittiin suksista. Lajunen lähti mäkiosuuden jälkeen ladulle kärjestä ja oli hiihto-osuuden tuloksissa 52:s, kun hän yleensä oli maailmancupissa kymmenen parhaan joukossa.

Lajunen hävisi 15 kilometrin hiihto-osuudella Hannu Manniselle yli 5 ja puoli minuuttia.

Lajunen lähti hiihtoon Kati Pulkkisen välineillä, koska omasta varastosta ei löytynyt kunnollista vesikelin paria.

"Suksiparini oli tälle kelille superhuono. En pysynyt Tapin (Tapio Nurmelahttp://ift.tt/2l9QzBo) perässä edes laskuissa. Pääsyy huonoon esitykseen oli kehno suksi, vaikka hiihto oli fyysisestikin raskas”, Lajunen kommentoi Helsingin Sanomissa 24. helmikuuta 1997.

Nagano 1998

Jari Isometsä http://ift.tt/2lzy1Ynjoutui pettymään miesten 10 kilometrillä (p). Oikukas sää teki suksien voitelusta vaikeaa ja henkilökohtaista olympiamitalia jahdannut Isometsä jäi kärjestä toista minuuttia.

"Kun sade alkoi, näytti siltä, että keli pysyy samana. Vasta kolme minuuttia ennen lähtöä tuli maastosta tieto, että latu menee liipalle (pinta osittain jäätyi). Siinä ei keretty tehdä muuta kuin laittaa lisää pehmeää purkkia. Ei ehditty laittaa liisteriä, kun siihen menee niin paljon aikaa", Isometsä sanoi HS:ssä 13. helmikuuta 1998.

Mika Myllylä http://ift.tt/2lLPQ5tjäi kilpailussa pronssille.

”Harmittaa, että töppäsimme voitelussa. Ei tällaista tarttisi olympialaisissa tapahtua”, Myllylä sanoi heti kisan jälkeen.

Ramsau 1999

Itävallassa Samppa Lajusen sukset puhuttivat jälleen. Lajunen sanoi yhdistetyn kilpailun jälkeen, että olisi voittanut MM-kultaa, jos hänellä olisi ollut yhtä hyvät sukset kuin maailmanmestariksi ehtineellä Bjarte Engen Vikillähttp://ift.tt/2ln53t5. Suksivalmistaja Atomic vaati Lajusta vetämään sanansa takaisin, koska sopimuksen mukaan suksia sai julkisesti käsitellä vain positiivisesti.

Myöhemmin Lajunen ja Atomic pitivät aiheesta, jonka jälkeen Lajunen selvensi lausuntoaan ja sanoi, että ei tarkoittanut etteivätkö hänen suksensa olleet hyvät.

”Atomicilla ei tykätty kommenteistani. Totesin vain tilanteen sellaisena kuin se oli. Jokainenhan sen näki, että Vikin sukset luistivat paremmin. Jos olisin sanonut muuta, olisin tehnyt itseni hölmöksi", hän sanoi ennen palaveria.

Miesten viestissä Suomen suoritus oli koko vuosikymmenen huonoin, viides sija. Huoltopäällikkö Per-Ole Lindell http://ift.tt/2l9O1TXotti epäonnistumisen huoltotiimin piikkiin. Perinteisellä osuudella Harri Kirvesniemen http://ift.tt/2ltRb0Tja Mika Myllylän suksi lipsui pahasti.

"Teimme sen virheen, että Harrin ja Mikan parhaisiin suksiin pantiin väärää pitovoidetta. Meillä oli myös toimiva voide, mutta se oli vedetty vääriin suksiin”, Lindell sanoi HS:lle kisan jälkeen

”Ehdimme parantaa pitovoitelua Mikalle. Hän kuitenkin luotti siihen suksipariin, joka ei lopulta toiminut kunnolla. Siinä tilanteessa emme osanneet tarpeeksi selvästi sanoa, kummalla parilla kannattaa lähteä.”

Val di Fiemme 2003

Muutamien kisojen jälkeen voitelu puhutti jälleen Italiassa yhdistetyn sprinttikisan jälkeen. Jo mäkiosuudella epäonnistuneen suomalaiset eivät pystyneet hiihdossa kirimään.

"Voitelu epäonnistui. Se oli selkeä syy. Kärkikahinat jäivät valitettavan lähelle”, sanoi kahdeksanneksi jäänyt Samppa Lajunen.

”Suoritukseni ladulla oli järkyttävä, suorastaan hävettää, vaikka suksikaan ei toiminut. En tiedä, oliko kyseessä voitelu vai suksen valinta”, Hannu Manninen sanoi.

Sotši 2014

Viime olympialaisissa puhuttiin ennen kaikkea norjalaisten voitelun epäonnistumisesta. Norja epäonnistui jättibudjetistaan huolimatta useammalla matkalla sen jälkeen, kun ilma olympiamaisemissa lämpeni merkittävästi. Esimerkiksi Marit Bjørgen http://ift.tt/2jj4Smyjoutui viestin ankkuriosuudella taipumaan Ranskan ankkurille ja Norja jäi viidenneksi.

”Norja on pihalla kuin lumiukko, me ja Ruotsi viemme tätä peliä nyt suvereenisti. Tämä avaa mahtavat näkymät loppukisoihin. Sekasorto huoltokopilla vaikuttaa varmasti urheilijoiden vireeseen kaikin tavoin. Norjalta loppuu aika kesken laittaa”, sanoi Suomen huoltopäällikkö Timo Suntela Ilta-Sanomillehttp://ift.tt/2ln9qV2.

Falun 2015

Myös Falunissa norjalaisten voitelu meni pieleen, tosin vain kertaalleen. Naisten 10 kilometrin vapaalla paras norjalainen oli sijalle 22 yltänyt Heidi Wenghttp://ift.tt/2hPxEp5. Voitelupäällikkö otti kisojen jälkeen vastuun. Epäonnistuminen johtui kovasta lumisateesta kilpailun aikana.

”Tiesimme, että lunta tulee, mutta emme sitä, kuinka kovaksi myräkkä yltyisi", voitelupäällikkö Kurt Nystad http://ift.tt/2ln67gusanoi kisan jälkeen.

”Norjalainen fiasko voitelufiaskon jälkeen”, otsikoi Verdens Gang.
