  1. Derrick White is great at defense though. In the playoffs our lack of D at the 1 will really show if they don't find someone else. He can hit threes, share the ball and run an offense when needed. I think he would be the perfect fit if Boston is willing to listen. Plus the Celtics are taking the year off, so sitting on FVV this year won't hurt them. Toss in a Suns pick and a couple others and they might go for it.
  2. I work in Data Center management for a huge company with presence in many DC colos around the world. Finding space in these smaller third party vendors isn't difficult, they all have tons of unused space because so many companies have migrated to cloud in the last 10 years. I know several vendors with plenty of open spaces in Houston, Dallas and Austin. Not sure what pricing would be for a single cabinet, but we were generally getting 1k per month per cabinet for the space we wanted to build. It's much larger at 30-40 cabinets, so there is a decent discount built-in to that pricing. What's special about this Dallas space? Why not Austin where you live and are able to service the equipment? Are you factoring the power costs, circuits, and maintenance on top of the lease cost? If you plan on using the DC "smart hands" techs to fix things, you need to budget a lot for that too. Are you planning to have a mirror DR site? If you want to handle data, you need to have an off site backup plan. What kind of hardware are you planning on buying to provide the service? My company sends lots of older equipment to e-waste that is often re-sold, and can be bought for cheap by little guys like you looking to squeeze more life out of them. You could look into purchasing hardware from a source like that and save a lot on the startup costs.
  3. 100 Republicans are now willing to release the files? Oh, well then I'm sure they have finally been scrubbed of anything that will harm Trump and we will never get to know the details of him and his buddies' crimes. But hey, at least Clinton and Gates will get criminal charges, that should be some great smoke and mirrors to cover all the other heinous shit we will see over the next 3 years. Again, fuck you Merrick Garland, you worthless fucking skunk.
  4. I think it was a Raptors homer trying to make their fans feel better about his contract.
  5. Castle is not a Point Guard that can be a primary ball handler and run the offense. Maybe he will become that one day, but he is not that now and wouldn’t be on this team. Reed isn’t either for that matter, but he did shoot 52% from 3 during college and had an insane 67%eFG for a guy taking a lot of distant shots. The team needs him to grow up more and get more confident in his shooting. He needs to be a reliable 3pt machine to earn his minutes, but he’s only 21 and has plenty of time to do that. Holiday needs some run as PG for a few games to see if he can do it. He’s not a bad player, but he’s the best option to step into that role with FVV hurt. I still think they trade for a PG in a couple months, but the market still needs to shake out who will be available. Derrick White has been shitty this year, but would be an excellent fit on this team. Not sure if the Celtics would part ways with him, but the possibility of those Suns picks could entice them. Plenty of opportunities ahead, and I trust this front office to do it right.
  6. Local SB chooses to adopt and offer the Bible class. It's offered by the state now as an optional class. I doubt it stays in here, but we will see. SBs can help fight back against the 10 Commandments bullshit. The last board had several 7 Mountains believers who push this stuff. The last Board also chose to remove 13 chapters of our kids textbooks that covered vaccines, climate change and contributions of people of color throughout history. This also forced the ISD curriculum advisors to re-write the chapters to remove the controversial parts, which creates more work for no reason. I expect that to be reversed immediately. The last board proposed, but failed, to pass a measure to add chaplains to the schools, which is another way to push religion through schools. Also would be a waste of money to hire them when we have huge budget deficits. One thing that was added a few years ago was a LOHE for the district that has reduced the overall per student tax revenue to the lowest in the state, around $9500. This can't be changed until 2028, but it will have to be removed since the ISD can't operate without that money. They are getting less than the 10k voucher that private schools get from the state, how insane is that? Previous Board leader is a trustee for a private school and was a huge proponent of vouchers and Christian Nationalism. I will be happy to see her greedy fat ass gone in January.
  7. A deep, yawning chasm.
  8. CyFairISD had all 3 of the seats won by the woke, commie, liberal candidates, this flipping the Board to a 4-3 majority. They will have to make tough decisions and undo some things the last group did like displaying the 10 Commandments, supporting a Bible class in Public schools as a "history" course, banning evil books, defunding librarians on campus, reducing/eliminating bus routes and not supporting teachers to have more control in classrooms. Can't wait for the leftist Utopia that maintains secular education, builds up the libraries, and supports teachers. The right wing nutjobs on our neighborhood pages are all up in their feels right now, it's glorious.
  9. Awesome, I really hope this doesn't just go away because of the other huge NBA scandal. Ballmer needs to get his ass beat in court.
  10. So that was game 4 on Nov 2nd, but this year Game 7 was Nov 1st. Did they move up the schedule for the playoffs?
  11. The Kubiak Special.
  12. This team isn't going to win shit this year, just lose out and get a new QB to start over.
