  1. Conley at age 36 is having a heck of a game too.
  2. Naz Reid has been money tonight, and probably the biggest reason Dallas isn't running away with it.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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...
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Yikes, that KAT 3 was a bit ill advised. 4 point game with only 17.5 left, gonna be a tough hill to climb for Minny.
  10. This game is great, both teams are doing different things well. I'm sure Mavs and Twolves fans teams are having heart palpations right now, but for a neutral observer this is a breath of fresh air over most of the other games in the playoffs so far. Hoping we get 7 games this series with a dozen lead changes in the 4th each time.
  11. Minnesota is gonna need vaccine requirements in their arena to start the 3rd quarter.
  12. Time for a hero to step up to the plate.
  13. And with that, both pitchers complete quality starts. Astros bring in Mush to take over the 7th in a 1 run game.
  14. Nice baserunning by Jake, but a dumb move trying to get a triple by Dubon when there's nobody out.
  15. 409 foot home run for a guy hitting .111 and who had never hit a homer in his 67 MLB at-bats. Awesome.
  16. Bregman so far this series, is 0-11 with 1 walk. Really didn't need to put him back in the 4 spot after a couple good games against the A's.
  17. Here's the hit, but was ruled a double on a review.
  18. Oh ummm, nevermind...
  19. Pena with a 339ft dinger to left!
  20. Heck of a play there by Altuve to save the run
  21. Bregman is really good at hitting the ball 325 feet.
  22. 3 up, 3 down for Hunter Brown. StreamEast link for pirates: https://www.thestreameast.to/mlb/los-angeles-angels-houston-astros-22/
  23. Yeah, obviously 2023 Abreu would be a best case scenario, and that isn't happening. Plus using Singleton just means they are finally getting some value out of the Hunter Pence trade!
  24. 2024 Singleton so far vs 2023 Abreu: Obviously Singleton isn't the long term answer, but he should have earned the 1B role for 2024 by now.
