    Hey Guys,

    About Mitchell with a set game plan. I didn’t see the game last night, but is it possible that Andrea didn’t get pulled b/c he missed a pass, but rather it was time for him to leave the game? One of the greater challenges in coaching is not finding the best players to play, but rather keeping the team as a whole happy and productive by giving them minutes. Players understand that a hot teammate should play, but are often not happy when it comes at the expense of their own minutes. What’s more important? One sub in a winnable game or managing the ego’s of the team for 82?

    See? “Kraft Dinner”: the only nickname left.

    Tony: I hear ya, but Smitch let his emotions get the best of him last night. He was frustrated with the team’s defense and shot selection — and rightfully so — but he overreacted by pulling AB and sitting him so long. I know Smitch is who he is, and his personality’s not going to change, but damn, all of his “panic” yelling and shit really does more harm than good.

    Redape: Wow. Well done. Let’s just call Durant “KD” and get Dwyer a new nickname. I suggest: “Ghost.”

    Oddly, the real “Baby Face Assassin” isn’t all that baby faced.

  6. Craig at 12:37 pm on 11.21.2007

    In Durants one year at texas he was called “KD” by many many many local media people… just saying

    Re: the Durant nickname, I am pushing for Sonic Youth. So far I am alone in this.

    Tas said ‘tomorrow’. Does that mean a special thanksgiving podcast for us off-work yankees?

  9. J.E. Skeets at 1:44 pm on 11.21.2007

    Don’t you Americans stretch your Thanksgiving holiday out to like three or four days? So crafty! No wonder that US dollar blows …

    And, yes, show tomorrow. Book it.

    these Durant nicknames are all horrible compared to “Durantula” - I didn’t create that one, somebody on like RealGM sonics board maybe or something did - but that nickname…that nickname is friggin’ amazing, its all extra perfect because he looks like a spider with his excessively long limbs.

    Free League Pass!?!, As we say over the pond in Manchester, could you sort me out? or explain this revelation?

  12. Maxwell Demon at 2:48 pm on 11.21.2007

    Durantcell–he just keeps shooting, and shooting, and shooting . . .

    Nah, fuck that, Durantula is better.

    Hey guys,
    Heard you guys talking about Durant and what his name should be. You were wanting to know who had the name The Baby-faced Assassin. It’s actually the nickname of coach Rasputin. You guys were subconsciously keeping to the Knicks theme I guess. Freekin sweet…
    Keep up the good work. -David

    Please forgive me, but “Kraft Dinner” is Mac n’ Cheese right?

    You Canadians. Good show, fellas.

  16. Cold Money at 1:05 am on 11.22.2007

    The name Keyon Dooling makes me think of Key Lime pie every time I read it.

  17. Tas Melas at 6:23 am on 11.22.2007

    Yes Sam, that is correct. JD called it during the show, but we felt like making your minds work.

  18. Tommy Eaux at 8:07 am on 11.22.2007

    The true Baby-Faced Assassin is the one, the only, the incomparable Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, of Manchester United fame. “Dubbed the baby-faced assassin courtesy of young looks and a ruthless ability to find the net…”
