  1. Also, Morant tried to literally jump over Dort. He didn't and hit him in the head and shoulders instead and then fell on his hip. He later came back to the bench on crutches so I'm assuming he's out for the series. I guess he can get a head start on bangin' in the off season. Agree about the Clippers being the second best team. Their problem is OKC is a terrible matchup for them. They can perfectly match them on that small ball lineup. I'd say OKC in 5 or 6 at most.
  2. The latest episode "Pediatric Oncologist" was hilarious. Highly recommend this show.
  3. Seeing Minka Kelly as a mom in Euphoria crushed my soul. She's 44 now. I feel old.
  4. So, three CEO's with direct expertise told him there would be high prices and empty shelves within months and he backed off. You'd think there would be people with actual knowledge of macro economics in the White House but I guess not.
  5. Steph ain't the only pro in that pic. From what I understand, her rates doubled after that.
  6. On point:
  7. Yeah, that should be good for a week I would think. They match up well against both of them, actually. They're really not fucking around. I'm curious as to how many games they had the entire roster healthy this reason. (Real injuries or otherwise.) When they have everyone, that "second unit" just rips people apart. They have Cason Wallace and Caruso guarding the other teams bench. They're all shooting well right now except for SGA but that will come around.
  8. Do we know who this is?
  9. Father in law used to be a partner at a Big 6 accounting and wealth management firm. He said by far and away the dumbest rich people were the doctors. They'd make a lot in one narrow speciality and then lose it all in real estate or oil and gas. Then we have Ben Carson. Is he still around?
  10. I remember reading some piece about OKC from a national type and he said he'd never seen such completely alignment between an owner, a GM, a coach, and a star player in his career. I kind of blew that off until I read about the dysfunction here.
  11. On the record here for FVV being a terrible signing at $40M/year. He's barely 6'0" and not a good shooter. To make matters worse, they took also barely 6'0" Reed Sheppard with the #3 pick and they can't play them at the same time. Reed with the DNP last night. I guess the good news is there is only one more year on his contract and the team has the option. Smart move would be to package him to another team looking for cap space. Jalen Green's new deal kicks in next season. (Congrats, I guess.) I wouldn't call him a bust but he's an undersized SG who can't shoot so let's give him 3 years at $100M.
  12. Arkansas is running a budget surplus and wanting to cut taxes. Where are the "states rights" people on this?
  13. His team is a 7 seed.
  14. Even Luka has said he's the best defender he sees. Why is Draymond even on the list?
  15. Lu Dort not even a finalist is a fucking joke.
  16. We were going from church to brunch and I glanced at my phone and saw OKC up by like 10 points in the 4th and I didn't check again until they were up by literally 50 points in the 3rd. I'm like "WTF happened?" Shai had a pretty mediocre day, too. Desmond Bane with a -51 point differential. Lulz.
  17. Here's an idea for the national media. Maybe watch the games before you pencil in the Lakers for the Finals. They're not a good team. They have two great players, one good one, and then a VERY steep drop off after that. They are terrible on defense.
  18. Same. Did this exact same thing starting at 49 and built muscle and dropped fat. Lots of protein, too. I maybe dropped a few total pounds but body fat % went from 24 to 17. I'm 6'0" and about 215 now. Weight training is key as you get older as you're losing muscle mass.
  19. One more thing to add on the "connections." They built the small light rail thing there to shuttle people between the areas. For the first year or so it was free and everyone took it. People would drive to downtown just to take the "train." Then the started charging $1 for it and literally no one takes it.
  20. That's a very good synopsis. You and my wife (no pics) are SME's in this area and she said the same thing. It's the connections that are the problem to your point and the real problem is the downtown office district which has zero function at nights and on weekends outside of the First National building. It separates Midtown, Bricktown, and the arena. I'm not sure if there's anything they can do about it. Scissortail Park is phenomenal, though. It's an interesting trend in urban development, actually. "Downtowns" in our history were strictly office districts but now they're becoming "entertainment districts" with stadiums/arenas for concerts, hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. Detroit has done a very good job with this. San Francisco has not.
  21. Also, the next 5 years will be interesting. They're about to start demo on the old convention center for the new arena. They'll then demo that and turn it into an outdoor promenade of sorts with shops, restaurants, etc., similar to what Milwaukee did. It's always been a disjointed downtown because the office district basically splits everything up.
  22. Yeah, the United thing kind of opened their eyes but they commitment really wasn't there, especially with the oil bust going on. I love what they did the the First National Bank building, though, which was one of the MAPS iterations. We ate at Teller's over Christmas and they've trained the wait staff to go over the history of the building. Our waiter said "At one point there was something called an 'oil bust'." I laughed and said "I've heard of this 'oil bust' you speak of." Bricktown really isn't my scene but I could see that.
  23. Don't discount Dort moving over to guard Kryie instead of Luka.
