  1. Apologies for not linking or embedding but saw a video earlier of Kyrie goofing around taking a handful of cash from Mr. Beast's stash that he set up for his dumb shooting challenge during the ASG... And KD grabbing it from him and putting it back in the tub for the kid who won the challenge. I thought that was cool.
  2. Some observations. Disclaimer, I still really like Inside. They crack me up. I'm also pretty laid back and not nearly as opinionated as a lot of folks here regarding NBA takes. I watched this whole thing because I had nothing better to do, stuck home in a snowstorm watching 2 dogs. The whole thing could not have been much worse. -The players tried to play hard. That was the one positive of the night. They were not going 100, but they were going maybe 75, whereas in the past few years they were going 40. This was an improvement. -They way over did the farewell to the Inside crew. The players don't care. I don't think the players even like those guys for the most part. Plus it's the middle of the season, and we all know they're going to be back on ESPN next year. I understand the Inside guys have a lot of gratitude for the behind the scenes crews and want to give them their props, but do it during the Western Conference finals when the show is truly on its way out. -Kevin Hart. I think they brought him in so someone could emcee the Inside farewell. Brutal. -The breaks were brutal. The cameras caught multiple players gesturing to get the TV guys off of the court so they could play. The players wanted to play. The long Inside farewell break actually caused the players to revert to old ASG tendencies once play resumed. No defense and everyone jacking up 40 footers. -Too much Draymond. I like Draymond and find him entertaining but no one needs a 2 hour pregame show with Draymond and Jalen Rose. They really should have just let the Inside guys do the Inside thing from the arena. We do not need them at center court or on the PA doing live commentary. I liked the alternate broadcast last year with Chuck, Taylor Rooks and Draymond all talking junk to each other. -The game itself is irrevocably broken at this point and needs to go the route of the Pro Bowl. I would like to see them move the IST to later in the season and have the Cup final game on Sunday night of AS weekend. Keep the contests on Saturday night with some added incentives to get the stars out. Maybe do the Cup semis on Friday with the Rising Stars game in between. Overall the entire thing was pretty terrible and the presentation made it much worse because some/most of the actual basketball was a slight improvement.
  3. My interest in college sports is fading a bit but I just wanna shout out to my guy Coach Izzo. When I was a freshman they were writing Tom Fizzo on the bathroom stall walls at Rick's. I only know this because I took my friend's birth certificate to the Secretary of State and said I lost my driver's license and had them mail him a new one with my face but his information on it. That ID was money until I got arrested for minor in possession and they found it in my wallet and cut it up deliberately in front of my face. I can't remember where I was going with this. RIP YGIFS.
  4. It's been many years since I was a busboy. I worked at a couple of different restaurants including a restaurant with good pizza. The Leather Bottle Inn. I never would have thought to eat someone's leftovers. None of my coworkers did that either. Dose nasty. I ain't judgin. But I ain't eatin that either. Maybe because I knew the cooks...
  5. When she was in the bubble with ESPN she definitely had gained a few lbs. Some of those video pieces where they would show players, media etc fishing and golfing at Disney definitely showed an unflattering side of her. She looks like she has dropped a lot of weight since then.
  6. Saw the update from LeeAnne, how are we feeling ROFL?
  7. Jimmy Butler says hi.
  8. The reason I thought of those two the other night...too many details and I'm not trying to be the new YGIFS but Ruff gave me some advice back in the day, in her extra special delivery, that I took to heart. It was great advice and I would like to think it has benefited some people I care about. So thank you, wherever you are. And sax seemed like a good dude.
  9. It is so awkward to even watch, therein lies the beauty. And don't judge Detroiters by ITYSL. It's a pretty good natured, sweet sitcom about a couple of buddies and how incredibly stupid they are. Good plot lines with much more subtle hijinks compared to ITYSL.
  10. He's a very good player so that's fair. I just kind of think you don't do the thing Bron made up during the Olympics unless you're a made man. I could be way off in my origin of it, and I'm far from a Lebron guy, but he has my utmost respect.
  11. Watching inside recapping Knicks/Pacers... Please tell me KAT isn't doing the Bron shoulder flex. You have not earned that Karl and I don't think you have that kind of respect around the league.
  12. Payback for MJ calling Zeke an asshole in the Last Dance and keeping him off of the Dream Team. Eat shit Kevin Huerter and Patrick Williams. Bad Boys 4 life.
  13. I have no bias either way on the trade. But he does look like he's a little bigger than he normally is.
  14. Ruffian and texassax
  15. Two great white and the polar bear in the pool vs an orca. Who would win?
  16. Memphis has been playing so well. Right now there really seems to be an elite tier of Boston and OKC and Cleveland is falling out of that tier. Maybe possibly.
  17. @Dutchrudder I went to add Buzelis tonight. 😐🙄🤬 This is the time of year when the rooks start showing out. Risacher has been flashing some serious potential, as well.
  18. Trixie has the extra toes. They told us her mom was an Anatolian and dad was a mastiff. As she's taking shape, nah. I'm thinking Mom was a Pyr and dad was a pitty.
  19. That's awesome. @Beau Vine does your Pyr have the extra toes?
  20. He cannot shoot the ball, even a middie so he's a weird fit but he's a dynamo on defense and in transition. I was really surprised they have him running point tonight, I figured it would be Sasser but he is doing an awesome job. It would be a great chance to spell Cade and let him play off of the ball with Ivey out for the foreseeable future.
  21. Ausar Thompson needs to play on the ball more. 11/7/5 at the half with Cade out. Up 29 on the terrible Sixers.
  22. The bear puts the shark in tonic immobility using its great bear paws. Easy dub for the bear.
  23. Look ma, the big dipper!
  24. 3 years, and it's not. Hisense told me to pound sand and sent me a list of shops locally I could take it to for service on my dime. Amazon was no help, either. I've got a scheme cooked up. Will report back later.
