    I was talking about a rest from the all-out push of the final 1/4 of the season we've been seeing lately (up to and including the final 8 games-- for better seeding and better positioning of Luka's MVP chances) and before the playoffs begin in earnest. Being able to not be a party to the play-in game will give a breather from this sprint.

    I'm not sure why you think a 2-game cushion with 8 games remaining justifies calling off the dogs.  I'm fine with not trying to catch the Clippers, as both teams have the same amount of success at home and on the road.  Not trying to win could easily result in us drawing Denver in the first round or falling into a play-in position.  No thanks.  Let's just win and protect our current seed, and if we can rest players while doing that, then do it.  Once we have clinched a top 6 with no chance of a Denver match-up, then I don't care what we do.     

  2. Jem, Jem, Jem.  Oh well.  I guess that's the first person to go this season for being a threat, though if you go home with an idol in your pocket were you actually a threat?

    A month ago my wife took on a part-time job working for an estate sale company. After 2 estate sales we are in the hole, because she has bought more than she earned. "We need this dining room set for 8 in case our family shows up at the same time for dinner". Which has never happened in 30 years. And "I couldn't pass up on this bookcase, it was so cheap". Now all I need to do is build new walls in the house so we have a place to put it or clean out her room of teaching supplies which she "stored" 7 years ago after retiring from teaching.

    Don't worry.  She'll make back 10% of what she spent when she sells it all after it sits in the garage for the next 5 years and she needs the space for some new used shit that she'll never use.  Ask me how I know.

    This is probably the least in shape group of teams in race history. They all seem absolutely clueless, as well. 

    It looked like a few were going to drop dead in that heat. 

    After watching the second leg last night, I was going to post the same thing.  This may be the weakest group of teams ever.  On the other hand, they did have to do back-to-back legs with no break in hot conditions.  Who was the genius who thought a face painting challenge with a bunch of sweaty heat stroke victims was a good idea?  

  5. In the early going, I find Hunter, Charlie, and Jem to be the most likeable, but it's early, and we haven't had much exposure to Nami and Siga.  Obviously I'm burned out on Yanu.

  6. I loved how they kept saying "if someone else stopped an asked for directions, we should be okay."  Maybe YOU should have stopped and asked for directions.  Their personalities and skillsets were too similar.  They were never going to last long, but that was historically bad.

    I remember doing my homework in the stands at the Erwin Center during games.

    User name definitely does not check out, but I'm sure you had a nice giggle when you came up with it.  

  8. I think a couple of the other survivors nailed their comments about Bhanu.  He's a huge fan of the game with no concept of how to play it.  Physical exhaustion can heighten a person's emotional response, but dude has zero control over his.

    What I find so frustrating about Kidd along with everything mentioned is that he was a magnificent defender.  On and off ball.  He was a basketball genius that could see two passes ahead but doesn't help his team offensively at all.  

    It's like he forgot all the things that made him so good as a player. 

    Also Fuck Mark Cuban 

    The issue is that Kidd isn't coaching Kidd.  He knows what to do, but he is incapable of teaching someone else how to do it.  He was a great improviser, and that is something you can't teach.  And let's be fare, as great of a player as he was, he only has one ring to show for it, and he owes that mostly to Dirk.
