  1. Ms. Nichols is back. https://www.threads.net/@rachel_nichols/post/DG1kQ50SA5H?xmt=AQGzjdQH1D0ACb7_m5YmYs93mAy2LqSMPcDHluVq0LcbsQ
  2. I think you said it in the thread last year or the year before. But man I am going to miss watching KD, Bron and Steph hoop.
  3. First one was sarcasm. They were down 25 and looking like they could not be bothered to give any effort on defense. Second one was self own.
  4. Suns looking good.
  5. Thanks all. Yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not at the spanky level of wizardry quite yet, don't even know the alliances.
  6. I'm wide open and want to see what's out there. I'm DTW based but I am open to looking out of Chicago, East Coast, West Coast and seeing what routes they have overseas in either direction.
  7. Is there an aggregation type of reward airfare site? I'm trying to dig into Chase travel partners and find cheap routes between US and Europe for 4 people and it's a beating..
  8. Yeah it was set up for 4 teams, 2 2 week matchups. I changed it to 6 teams, 1, 1, 2.
  9. I left early. It was fun though.
  10. Detroit no match for Denver. Denver was in serious mode. They looked like they had done some serious homework for a WC team coming into a building they only go to once a year to play a young team. And it worked. Joker was looking for whistles early against Duren and Stewart and they both were in serious foul trouble before halftime. They got physical with Cade and he didn't really know how to fight through it because they don't really have enough offensive firepower to compete at the highest level. They have Cade and a shooter and Tobias Harris. Denver wouldn't let Beasley breathe and there wasn't much left but a bunch of missed shots for Detroit. Denver was executing at a championship level on offense. Murray was not having it. I've got Denver as my #1A contender in the West, and I think they would be a tough test for Boston.
  11. Ooh that's tough. Today I think I would take the field.
  12. Steph drops 56 on the magic. I'm not sure what I think of this iteration of the Warriors with Jimmy. I guess I feel like the West is wide open and at this point in time there are probably 7-8 teams I would not be shocked to see in the WCF and possibly even the Finals. Obviously the Thunder should be and are the prohibitive favorites but something about not seeing a team do it before leaves you a little skeptical... On the other hand in the East I feel like I would be very surprised if it wasn't Boston v Cleveland in the ECF.
  13. Wait a minute, I believe we have a rule that free agents can be kept for the cost of a 10th rounder. Were you not aware of that? Would you still have dropped him?
  14. KD doesn't want to lead the team in shots. He is a hoops sicko. He is trying to perfect the game. Listened to a bit of him on the Draymond/Baron Davis podcast at the gym today. His perfect game is going 9-11 from the field and 2-3 from deep with a couple of efficient trips to the line. And my favorite part about the current iteration of KD is that he doesn't care what you think. He just wants to hoop.
  15. I just scanned it (twice) but I did not see Michigan State mentioned in what you pasted. Murray State and Eastern Michigan yes. Maybe you didn't paste the entire article but I'm thinking I would have heard about this via other avenues if Michigan State was involved.
  16. After I moved back to Michigan after I left Austin, I somehow wound up working in the design studio at Ford as some kind of project analyst. They have a huge video modeling room with big screens, at least they did 20 years ago. And then there was the modeling floor where they actually produced full sized clay models of the vehicles. It was pretty cool in retrospect. Anyway, I was working for this Chief Designer who was extremely, extremely Italian. His first name was Giuseppe, that's how Italian. He took a liking to me for some reason and treated me well. Somehow the topic of the Godfather came up, and he was absolutely incredulous that I had never seen it. It was just before Christmas, and he comes in the next day and decrees that we are watching the Godfather in the design studio video room. IIRC we had to split it up into 2 days, and there were 5-10 of us who were in on it, Giuseppe basically telling all of our direct managers that we were working for him those couple of days. Pretty cool way to watch it for the first time. It's a good movie, you should check it out. Oh and I've never seen a single Rocky movie.
  17. Check the Disney thread. Took the family over the summer and @mdmost set me straight on DL and sightseeing stuff in that thread.
  18. Cade is becoming theater. Great show vs Trae tonight.
  19. Check the DMs. Need your email address.
  20. The story was @ajax I believe about his work laptop. It was hilarious. Thujone then illustrated it.
  21. Luka is actually giving effort tonight and it makes a huge difference. It was evident from the first minute of the game.
  22. Yeah not great for you. You were the first person I thought about after hearing the news. Sorry man.
  23. Just play the don't pass line and celebrate your wins vociferously.
