Bourbon
Probably my favorite “oaky” bourbon. Just a pleasant sipper that is pretty simple. They could price it better, but I believe industry standard is $10 for every year in the barrel. At $160 a bottle this is a little under that. I guess Heaven Hill wants to keep it that way because it’s a legacy offering.

They smoked a good Blazers team, and maybe took a step forward in getting the Stay Ready Crew paid. Grand prize for NBA Cup is $500k. That’s a big deal for about half the team. I’m cautiously optimistic on Reed’s defense. I’d like see him against some really good guards again, but he’s certainly progressing. Cavs, Nuggets, and Warriors will be good tests. I’d shoot no hesitation too if Ime and Amen threatened to beat the shit out of me if I passed on an open look.

Probably the most down on the Rockets podcast. And the shit rolls uphill at the Ringer.Verno is butthurt the Rockets got a bonafide star and Memphis couldn’t during their rise. Hoops Collective is very bullish on the Rockets.

Banged his kidney(?) in a collision with a Blazer. Immediately went to the lockerroom.

I assume Holiday had an injury last postseason in Boston? And of course the Wizards traded away a potential All Star.

Cocaine Curry (because he’s white) was briefly popular, if wildly ambitious, last season.- Recommend me some Houston eats
Credence has a speakeasy. This is like finding an unexploded WWII bomb in Memorial. They could be serving repackaged Whataburger and I could give a shit. They have a speakeasy. We’re excited. Medium Rare is pretty great for portion control and all that. I think I remember it includes a salad of the day. Good parking as well for that part of town. Free restaurant parking in Midtown, I’m not complaining.- Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn

Midnight PST? I’ve seen and been told 8pm CST Friday.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
That’s kind of interesting. So it’s an examination of how Pelinka mind fucked Nico?- Ken Burns: The American Revolution 11/16
As always I’m in, but I assume they’re going to use more reenactments. 12 hours of Peter Coyote narrating historical paintings is a heavy lift for most viewers.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Klosterman excels at explaining culture and society. Did Bill really have him on him to talk hoops?- Recommend me some Houston eats
Technically. The first serving is in the restaurant. Pictured above. The second serving is exactly the same and made to go.- Recommend me some Houston eats
Good old school sub. Got a slice while I waited. Would recommend.- Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
What time will E3 be available on Fridays?- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
The Hoops Collective made a good Reed point after the Bucks game. Windhorat said that the reason they were excited about Reed at Kentucky was his offensive skill set + playmaking on defense. Steals, blocks, and deflections. I think the game is slowing down for him some and he’s putting his hands and body in the right places on defense to become a disruptor. I don’t he’s ever going to be a lock down defender at his size, but he’s going to blow some shit up.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Anything on James Franklin and piggy? He would kill from them there. I hope it doesn’t happen.- TexMex

Sarr can really play. Super long and shoots well. Maybe middle class Wemby is the comparison? The Hawks probably want a do over of the 2024 Draft. Sheppard playing lights out. I think they’re playing him about the right amount of minutes right now, but he’s pushing for more.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Gym is interchangeable for arena, i referenced Toyota Center in the same paragraph, and luxury boxes in the same sentence.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I meant a new arena. Obviously.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Toyota Center has the best sight lines of any pro arena I’ve been in. Glad they’re upgrading the seats. I’m sure they’ll start bitching about the luxury boxes soon, but they don’t need a new gym.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Allegedly the Wizards front office and ownership are supposed to be competent and they love Tre. Sarr can play and they’re in the East. They need better lottery luck, but I could see Tre playing in the postseason during his rookie deal. - 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
