  1. If only..... Then who would do our thinking for us?
  2. The perception a HC is bad is a media driven narrative. There is no fall from grace for them, they always find work afterwards, if they choose to. They’re often coveted by other HC’s or a network. A HC’s paycheck isn’t just a paycheck, it’s generational wealth. Rest assured they don’t feel like tarnished losers.
  3. That her success spawned “Flo”….. Well, in spite of that, may she RIP.
  4. Watched T-Wolves/Spurs 2nd half tonight. Wembanyama put on a show again. NBA best start making him the face of the game now.
  5. His staff does a good job cherry picking and feeding him quips, stats and stories. His fans think he does his research.
  6. “I like Pocket Pool”?
  7. Seems to me the finalists list selection is getting weaker, or maybe just more a case of a token honor.
  8. I’m thinking Woodstock “no more rain”.
  9. Oh what a Beautiful Morning.
  10. Oh, like in Sleepy Hollow.....cool.
  11. The greatest TV/movie car ever: https://boldentrance.com/the-full-story-of-the-1966-batmobile-burt-wards-near-death-experience/
  12. Mel Brooks version was a master stroke.
  13. Mine also. It was a last minute “opportunity of a lifetime”, one of my father’s group couldn’t go. Gee….wonder why?
  14. Wow! You don’t call yourself Einstein for nothing.
  15. Too many to remember, though that might be more due to thinking there’s a blanket in a bottle.
  16. No argument about game plan mimicking. A few teams, OKC and Houston particularly, are showing defense can work. Boring games are a problem, don’t know what the solution is. There seems to be a significant increase of teams blowing big leads late in the game, that won’t win fans back though.
  17. Magic/Bird blind look, cross court, and passing through players in today’s game are common. Players look like they break their ankles defending the dribble. Jokic, Davis, Embiid, Sabonis, and a slew of others average 10 rebounds. Guess we all see the game differently. Think it’s easier understanding the cosmos than NBA salary equation. Silver is more figurehead than any of the commissioners
  18. Won’t get rid of the now all to common and convenient “so and so is out of lineup because they felt something, though x-rays proved negative“ excuse.
  19. Two kids work for German based engineering companies, another worked in immigration law mainly expediting student/work visas for bigger tech co. Homegrown stateside STEM talent development is an issue.
  20. The skill level has never been better. There’s no shortage of talent. That said, there’s no wow factor watching a steady slew of 3 pointers and dunks. It’s not a big man game anymore. There’s a ridiculous amount of ticky tack fouls, refs don’t/can’t let them play. Superstars needing routine rest is a con. Too many good teams coast in games and the season. Their new “in season tournament” adds nothing, and I think is an admittance that there’s a problem. The NBA is not like MLB when it comes to having a variety of options to tweak the game for its betterment.
  21. Oh, it was a gag gift. Well that makes sense.
  22. Some things should be kept in house.
  23. Well, time to leave…..after you. Oh that’s ok, you first….I insist.
