  1. Big man on third with 1 out, gotta get him home.
  2. Sign and Trade Tobias Harris for him?
  3. My favorite championship shirt:
  4. What makes you think he has any say in this?
  5. One of the rumors about this play was that Angel hated the idea of instant replay to overturn calls on the field, and intentionally ignored making the right call here because it was called a homer on the field. He certainly seems like the type that doesn't want to be corrected.
  6. Better guard duos: Steph/Klay obviously #1. Kobe and Derek Fisher? Probably yes Parker/Ginobli? Depends on the season, but I would say yes at their peak. Dumars/Thomas? Yes. Reggie Miller/Mark Jackson? Maybe Magic Johnson/Byron Scott? Probably MJ and John Paxon? Maybe MJ and maybe Ron Harper? Yes. Rondo/Ray Allen? Probably not It's hard to give 2 guys that are both known for playing below average defense a GOAT label.
  7. Another close call, but no damage. Whew
  8. Just turned the game on and immediately saw Abreu hit a single. Really can't believe he got a hit, and it seemed to be a fairly strong drive too.
  9. I don't think Joe has any say in this matter, I think it's coming from the owner.
  10. My wife got me a gift box of coffee from a site called BeanBox a while back. It was filled with a variety of small bags of different styles of beans from around the world. It was a really good gift, and a lot of fun to test all sorts of different coffees. I found that I enjoyed the lighter roasts quite a bit, even though I always buy medium or dark roasts for myself. Lately I haven't been too adventurous with my coffee drinking. Mostly using the Equal Exchange Breakfast Blend Medium roast from HEB. It's quick and easy, since it's already ground, and a nice consistent flavor in the morning. A nice $11 bag go-to option whenever I just want something solid, but nothing jaw dropping like a few of the ones from the gift box. I also have enjoyed several Amaya coffee bags that I get from a local shop called Catalina Coffee near downtown Houston. The problem is that when I find one I like, it's usually rotated out by the time I get back to the store to buy more. Good quality stuff for about $18-22 a bag. What coffee beans/grounds do you guys love and buy consistently? I'm looking to branch out and try something new.
  11. Kevin Love would have defended better here than Rudy. I think the Twolves need to fight harder through the screens on PnR, they swapped a lot and gave Dallas exactly who they wanted to attack many times. It was a 2 point game, letting them drive to the rim with the roller getting free would have been better than letting them shoot a 3. Would have had plenty of time to score the last shot for the win if they did make another dunk.
  12. **The Washington Wizards have entered the chat**
  13. Fun fact: every team in the AL West currently has a negative run differential! If results hold, the Astros will be the only team in the division to win today.
  14. lol, ignore obvious foul to give the ball to Dallas with 47 seconds left in the game. So dumb
  15. Conley at age 36 is having a heck of a game too.
  16. Naz Reid has been money tonight, and probably the biggest reason Dallas isn't running away with it.
  17. Long time coming, will be interesting to see who they hire and if that helps Mitchell sign an extension. Cavaliers fire coach J.B. Bickerstaff after five seasons https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40203249/sources-cavaliers-fire-coach-jb-bickerstaff-playoff-exit
  18. Realtors have got to be near the top of the list of uneducated jobs. Granted, a lot of them probably don't do well and bring down the average, but there are a ton of morons out there doing that job and making 3% for doing very little.
  19. Right, but that's only an issue if they don't pay it off in time and incur fees, and even then, 1 month is probably too strict, some cards don't start charging fees for up to a year. CC debt isn't an issue in and of itself, it's if people can't pay the balance and get hit with fees, which creates a debt spiral sending them towards larger issues like being evicted. I actually have a friend at work who makes very good money, but has something north of 6 figures of total CC debt across several cards. Him and his wife spend like drunken sailors, but he plays some stupid credit balance swap games to move the debt around every 6 months to avoid incurring fees and paying it off. He also gets millions of airline miles this way so they can go home and visit family in Taiwan several times a year, so maybe it's worth it. I personally cannot live knowing I owe that much in debt that could be hit with 20-30% monthly charges.
  20. Really? I have my CCs on autopay every month, and it can be thousands sometimes if we are splurging on something like furniture or Christmas. That's such a pointless stat if it doesn't subtract debt that is less than 1 month old. Populations increase, people are incentivized to use credit cards for points/miles/etc, cash is being disincentivized and electronic spending is being increased across the board. There are plenty of legitimate reasons why CC debt numbers would continue to increase regardless of if the debt is covered or not. I guess I should have known better, given which side always brings up that talking point...
  21. 24 years of All-NBA 1st team players. Had to look up the 5th guy in 2015, because that is a portrait of a very young looking Marc Gasol. Funny to see Jokic left off 2023 when he should have been MVP and won the championship. The 2024 group feels like it will stay the same for next few year, but I could see Antman knocking Tatum out soon.
  22. It looks really good, but probably not his best work. In all fairness though, it's really difficult to top Babe: Pig in the City.
