    You want me to ask him what his nickname has been in the past, or do we want to give him one?

    Not to derail the thread... but my favorite line from tuco that hit home really well with his delivery was when he was in the kitchen at his house and he's cooking that steak and he goes "NO ONE TURNS THEIR BACK ON THEIR FAMILY"

    It's a simple line, but holy shit. I loved tuco. Too bad Raymond Cruz got that part on another show... and he also said Tuco was just a bit too intense for him. lol. No doubt, but man he was really good as him.

    Tell him he's called Chili P. He better get the reference, or he's off the team.

    I'm re-watching it right now. Probably why I thought of Chili P. It's better every time.

    I'm a huge fan of that show. I was able to get my hands on a full length feature film these super fans created. It's all footage from the shows, but its a movie. Haven't watched it yet, but heard it's great...... I believe it's all in order as well.

    Jesse's character arc in that show is one of the best... nay, the best I've ever seen in cinema. And the dude never took acting classes. His moment-to-moment acting is unreal.

    Also makes sense as he's the icier sequel to Cool Breeze.

    That was a great nickname for Crabbe. Fit with his initials as well as his chill demeanor.

    Now that Vonleh have gotten a contract. Pat Connaughton is the only player that we had let go last season whom have not latched onto another team yet. Will he get another chance as a NBA player or you think he is finished?

    Finished. He could go G league or foreign league, but not NBA.

    Or MLB, of course. If I were he, I'd be working on my pitching over the summer.

    What does that say about our bench last year? He was a rotational player playing 18 minute a game. You telling me we have been playing a NON-NBA caliber player 18 minute a game last year and was still the 3rd best team in the West!?!?

    I thought Pat did a good job last season. Due almost entirely to intelligence and hustle. Pat saved our bacon late in games on multiple occasions. It's just that with all the athletes out there trying to claw their way onto an NBA roster, I don't anticipate another NBA team using a spot on him. If he were an unconscious three point shooter, then yeah. But he had a mediocre year in that regard, so nah.
