  1. Point was not well communicated, clearly.
  2. 85 and humid in Houston right now. It better be cool this summer. Please?
  3. Mark Cuban already let it out by saying developing casinos around the arena is not something he has interest in leading. He said it with the "did you hear what I just slid in there," look that he has sometimes. (This could just be me, because I tend to read into some nuance when Cuban speaks... But it's him.)
  4. Indeed my son was a big reason for the comeback, as he was like 2 for 10 from the line, shooting absolute bricks on the one goal (1 FT he had to hit glass the old school way... He should have kept doing it). He's on probation today. Last game of the season is Monday. After that he's fired from jv ball.
  5. These threads always amuse me. Players suck, coach can't coach... Players are balling! I can't believe it. I think that is every basketball game ever. I watched my son's jv game last night... Team up by 14 at half... Blew it because there was a lid on the basket in 2nd half (made me think something was off with that goal, because neither team could score on it.) I thought about this forum and what the reaction would be... Coach would be fired (she got a tech during Q4) and the best players would be dogs for missing everything from layups to free throws. Won by 2 in OT. Fire everyone.
  6. I just came to a realization... Donald Trump has never beaten a man in a Presidential race. Dear women, you had a chance to shut the Orange Leopard down twice, but you can't seem to vote for your own interests. Women seemed to complain about DEI the most. It seemed like women (especially the majority) thought DEI was code for Lesbian Black Woman (hell, at one point I wasn't so sure that wasnt the case, because all of the CDOs and Heads of Diversity I interacted with were exactly that, but I digress.) Of all the faces that I would think would be wise enough not to invite a leopard BACK into their house, it's the woman voting against her own self interest face getting chewed on the most. "You just grab'em by the pussy."
  7. I get paid to speak hyperbole.
  8. My mother just renewed her passport in like 10 days online, and not via fast-track. She was so shocked that she called me just for that.
  9. I'd take the free look at another defender and ball handler.
  10. Nixon was playing by the rules. Trump learned from Dick's lesson. Don't accept the loss. Don't even acknowledge it. And change the rules.
  11. So.... You're picking teams... You have 4 guys, I have 4 guys... Jordan and Jokic walk into the gym. It's your pick... First bucket wins. Last bucket wins. Most buckets win. Who are you picking?
  12. In a few years.
  13. What are the Courts going to do about it? Sanction him with their army?
  14. But that's the way we've always done it... (Again, just playing the role.)
  15. I'm gonna guess there was at least one "This you?"
  16. That'll do, Pig.
  17. I'm gonna play stupid black swan devils advocate for a moment... What if the way we've always done it, while ok for some and great for a few, could actually be improved by some wacky teardown remake of the government and all the sacred establishments? We all bemoan taxes, right? Too much spending on defense and policing and on programs that are just wasting money supporting the government machine... What if we just shut all that down and have a small military that just protects the u.s.? And the states run their own plays... What if that works better? (No, I don't believe any of that is what is going on here... I'm pretty sure we're being overthrown without firing a shot, as promised.)
  18. So... Who is going to take over when the old guy dies or gets knocked? There has to be an actual smart person for us to be concerned about, right? I'm concerned about the villains, but they will fuck up their own plans... I'm worried about the evil person. Who is it? And where is everyone going? I need to look into some alternate spots, just to be safe.
  19. I'll allow that. So Steph Curry is now lLil Reggie.
  20. Considering the dumbass nature of Americans as seen on tv and the internet, I would guesstimate that 20MM were votes against Kamala Harris... and another 8MM were votes against Barack Obama.
  21. Leon has plenty of cash.... Some banks are gonna get fucked.
  22. He's 2nd, imo. So here is how I look at it... Jordan played in the 80s when hand checking and beating the shit out of the guy with the ball was celebrated. Jordan played in the 90s when the NBA had a, "Wait a minute, this shit is actually entertaining when it's not hockey." Jordan came out of retirement in the 2000s, as an old man, and scored 20ppg. It took Kobe 20 years to do what Mike did in 15... and Kobe was the shit. Steph Curry would have been murdered in the 80s. Derek Harper wouldn't have let Curry cross half court... ever. KD would have been a center or PF in the 80s... They'd call him Lil Sampson. He would be a deadly mid-range jump-shooter. Lebron would have played in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, etc and been Lebron. Luka is next up if he gets his body right. Dude is a fucking problem on the court. (That is 'jive' for very fucking good.) Michael Jordan would be the scoring king if he started in the 2000s instead of the 80s... because he would have averaged 50ppg and been able to play for 20 years instead of 15.
  23. Michael Jeffrey Fuckin Jordan.
  24. I've been married for 20 years and have teen boys. I'm a middle manager in my career. I'm a black man. Nobody has listened to me about anything for 20+ years, if ever.
  25. I'm gonna need y'all to start popping some of these trial balloons or there will be no elections in 2026.
