Quad Culture

          The NBA season starts next week and everyone here at Quad Culture is quite relieved to have the association back and dare I say better than ever. After a tremendous offseason of player movement and olympics it feels like the league is in the best place it’s been in from a competitive standpoint. So, here it is, the definitive preseason ranking of all 30 teams along with what to expect from them this upcoming season.   30. Wizards       The Wiz likely know they're going to loose, they except that but at least the hope at the end of the rainbow is the prize that is Cooper Flagg. 29. Nets      The Nets are all about the assets right now and by assets I mean draft picks, with guys like Johnson and Schroder expect the Nets to continue to be sellers and let Cam Thomas cook.  28. Hornets      The Hornets could easily be higher on this list if they find a sense of peace between Miller and Ball. If they can find that this team can really push for the play-in.  27.

This is great in a fantasy land but that is not where we live, we live in the real world and in the real world the Pats are dead last. So what’s wrong, the defense seems to be serviceable and even good sometimes and the special teams are unquestionably better than last year. De

    Succession is one of the most nuanced and quite frankly fun shows to come out in the last 20 years. Now that it has been in the rearview mirror for over a year let’s rank the 4 Roy kids based on which should have been the successor by series end. Yes, Connor gets to be on this list too. So let’s rank the back stabbing, wisecracking, power hungry kids we have all grown to hate to love over the years. Without further ado the Quad Culture Succession hierarchy we hope Logan Roy would have loved but probably wouldn’t have. 4: Connor Roy Despite his potential 1% had he stayed in the presidential race Connor is the least cut throat and has the least knowledge of the business. In a lot of the ways he is the least like his father or pop as he calls him and while in most cases this is a good thing in the case of the business Connor is thoroughly behind his three half siblings. Also the arranged marriage with a prostitute just is not a good look for the CEO of a major media company, right?
