  1. Funny thing is after Woj tweeted that all of the books pulled their odds down. I checked Fan Duel about a half hour ago and you could only bet on picks 4+. Now they're back up and Jabari is -6000 followed by Paolo at +550. Wonder what happened?
  2. It would be insane for SA to give up Murray. That's what you call a building block.
  3. Fair point. 😄 So that you could go back and be more selective when you had more time? This is a smash and grab job, hypothetically. @Js1 I don't believe they have electronics. Definitely not like TVs and stuff. I did find some fun toys online but I don't recall seeing this stuff in the brick and mortar. https://www.kohls.com/catalog/camp-chef.jsp?CN=Brand:Camp Chef&cc=outdoorliving-TN3.0-S-CampChef&kls_sbp=71033792051317836381546150039972710781
  4. I think the answer is small kitchen appliances first and then men's active wear.
  5. You have 5 minutes. You can't return anything for store credit or cash or even Kohl's cash. What are you going for?
  6. Interesting. It will be fun to see how he fits on a contender. Can he sacrifice and become a winner? He's never really had to play that role. Miles Bridges is my guy but I'm very curious to see what happens with him in Charlotte. Shams said yesterday that MJ would be hesitant to match a max. I can't disagree. Love the dude but his ceiling is limited to me as a borderline all star, similar to this year. Maybe he gets in a few times. I don't think he's ever going to be a great shooter despite some very good numbers in 21. And he also struggles when he has to dribble the ball more than 3x. He's a good defender, though, and he works his ass off and he's a dawg. Not sure he's a building block on a max deal. Someone will probably max him, though.
  7. Same. And subscribed.
  8. Old San Francisco Steakhouse is pretty swingin
  9. Every time we've flown prior to Covid I was able to take them all through with me, wife included. She just got the check mark on her boarding pass automatically. I'm highly doubtful they are gonna give us 8 check marks this time through. It's going to be awesome getting busted for bringing gummies through TSA in front of my parents, wife and kids.
  10. Kyrie is the most toxic guy in the NBA. I'd rather have Ben Simmons. To think one team has both!
  11. Ugh. I am flying as part of a party of 8 this summer. I reserved everything so we are all on the same reservation. I am that only one with Pre. Wife doesn't have or need it. Kids are 12 and 9. My 75+ parents who probably haven't flown in a decade and probably won't again anytime soon. And my two 15 year old nephews. Conflicted here because normally I would just go with everyone and help since they don't have any clue what they're doing but I'm also planning on bringing minor contraband.
  12. I understand that these are your opinions. Some of them are fairly strong. I respect them. However you state many of them as factual when they are not. They are good, strong-ass opinions. I don't think history will view things in the same light, but what do I know. My opinion as a non UT non anything other than basketball guy is that KD is on a fucking pedestal.
  13. Where is this coming from? Honest question. Are you a KD fan and insecure about his place in history? Are you a KD hater? I don't think any of these questions or narratives are accurate from where I sit on the outside.
  14. I don't really agree. I think that is more caving to a media narrative. There has been a paradigm shift in the NBA since (arguably) the Lakers and Celtics and Heat years in the "aughts". It is ridiculous to try to hold modern day teams and franchises to the same standards as in the 80s and 90s. KD is a two time Champ and a two time Finals MVP and was the best player in the game for a 2/3/4/5 year stretch, pre Achilles. Nothing is going to change that in my mind and I have no pre disposition to KD.
  15. Nah on the KD part. That's First Take bullshit. There is no devaluing a Championship. Receipts are receipts.
  16. Do people realize how tight these guys are? Is this sarcasm? Media invented beef.
  17. We got a game. Let's go. Not sure I'm ready for the season to end.
  18. Honestly that was what was going through my head as well, the 11 Finals. Sometimes I guess you're just not ready to be that guy.
  19. What is he doing?? He has Draymond iso and he gives the ball up to Smart. He just did the same with Steph on him and the clock winding down.
  20. Vic...
  21. I rented a Ford Transit on turo for a trip this summer and it was much cheaper than going through a car rental company. Still not cheap but might be worth checking out.
  22. I agree with a lot of what you post but I think you have it backwards. Boston does not switch everything. They do all they can to slide off of the pick and the man who is setting the pick's defender "drops". GSW is switching. Boston is not. They are relying on their cohesive whole team D and ability to recover and contest. Hard to say if it's working or not but they aren't changing it at this point it seems.
  23. So Haggis lived in Memphis for 17 years? Who knew.
  24. Man I haven't read this thread for a few days. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Draymond brings it all on himself. All of it. And he'll take it, too. Bad or good and right now it's bad. He has put himself the hell out there and this microscope is either a distraction or it's a blessing. I have my own criticisms and I don't really share them because who the fuck am I and who really gives a shit. But this man is a treasure because he will do the opposite of what we think he should do, he'll tell you about it, he'll give credit where it's due, and he won't apologize. I also don't think he's nearly as washed up as the hot take du juor crowd does but see previous statements about what my opinions mean. Knibb High Football rules.
  25. I went back two pages, if I missed a thread I apologize. I really liked this. It combines my favorite type of 90s redemption story arc with current NBA with my college years (Sandler). Really impressed with some of the acting, particularly JHG and Ant. It's like a fun cross between Happy Gilmore and Uncut Gems with some Blue Chips mixed in. 7.4/10. Would watch again.
