  1. $42M/yr is steep for Van Vleet, but that might’ve been what it took (probably not because Stone is probably in the running with Caserio for stupidest negotiator as GM in Houston). That’s a huge bump for FVV when you factor in Canadian taxes vs no state income tax. He was probably the #1 free agent in ability to help this team win more games AND make other players better.
  2. Some mega pussies up in this vasectomy thread. The “no incision” or “no scalpel” thing is a marketing joke. They have to get inside your scrotum to cut the tubes. A scalpel makes a small, precise opening. Using sharp forceps to tear a hole open is technically not an incision and doesn’t use a scalpel, but it’s not less painful and could result in a larger or irregular wound/opening in the scrotum. My doc did the cold spray to numb up the boys before a lidocaine stick, then you don’t feel anything except the thump like pressure when he actually severs and clips the tubes. I drove myself home (~20 mins). Rotated between 3 bags of frozen peas and carrots every 30-60 mins to keep constant cold for 24 hours. Rotated between Tylenol and ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Went trap shooting 48 hours after procedure with only mild discomfort.
  3. I was going to post something similar: who would you draft over Bird if you could pick anyone to play in 2023? I’d think Bird would be in most people’s top 5, certainly not relegated to Euro ball. Bird was a better shooter and passer than Bron Bron, same height, was tough as hell and didn’t turn the hustle on and off. Bird playing against modern players, defenses, and rules would be pretty silly.
  4. Isn’t the point to sign player(s) who make our first rounders play better, not guys who put up stats while playing with hall of famers?
  5. Remember when everyone got hot and bothered about Jeremy Lin?
  6. They named the vehicle Titan? I’d say it titan’d alright.
  7. Middleton is minus one meniscus. It’s likely his game will erode along with the articular cartilage of his tibia. If he comes to Houston, it will be for the bag of money, not to win. And if money is his driver, would he put in the effort to keep his body healthy and delay his knee/game decline?
  8. Incredible. It seems like Capela was playing in Houston back with McGrady.
  9. I’m dreaming in fan fiction that Portland caves to Dame’s veteran demand and there’s some 3 team swapadoo where Houston gives up #4 to another team for a veteran to Portland, we give Portland KPJ and/or KMJ and/or Tate and Houston receives #3 for either Scoot or Miller.
  10. I’m down by 99/Hardy and people’s backyard trampoline and not so lightweight furniture have been thrown over fences and even into the streets. Rumors that tower at IAH was evacuated due to suspected small tornado.
  11. Houston hopefully trades down a few spots if “basketball” demands that whatever team picks at #4 takes a Thompson. Guards who can’t shoot have a Ben Simmons ceiling.
  12. And then Amen/Auser Thompson’s jump shot will make you want to buy a lot of $10 beers!
  13. Is “Erectile dysfunction for you 🚬 🕯️ 🐅” describing a past (filmed) event or some kind of candle tiger curse she’s putting on him?
  14. Scoot and Miller are much higher rated than the next cluster, nobody gives a shit about #4 (except allegedly Orlando targeting someone and wanting to move up from #6…if they offered 6 and 11 for 4 that should be a slam dunk). The Rockets moving up from #4 to #2 would probably require throwing in Jalen or Jabari and not worth it. If Charlotte was dumb enough to swap for KJ Martin, Tate, Porter Jr. or any combination of our spares then hell yeah!
  15. If the Rockets plan to draft either of the Thompson twins, then yes please unload the #4 pick. Those dudes feel more busty than Dolly Parton. Why does every mock draft give them a pass for both having broken shots and shooting like 24% from the field and something shitty for free throws? They are guards, not 7’ centers Allegedly New Orleans offered Zion + #14 to Charlotte for #2 and Charlotte laughed at them. Why would you want a guy who plays maybe half the time and wants a max contract?
  16. Do the A’s fans not see the irony in what they’re doing? They’ve averaged the third worst attendance in MLB over the past 5, 10, and 15 years. Teams like the Royals, Cleveland, and Nationals each nearly doubled Oakland’s attendance in the past 3 seasons. About a third of MLB revenue comes from ticket sales, so it’s difficult to build a competitive team when nobody goes to the games. Sunday they demonstrated they could attend games when they choose to, and advocated for the owner to sell the team (apparently to someone who doesn’t care about making $80-90M less than the median MLB team). New sites had interviews of fans sharing their childhood stories and crying that the greedy owner was robbing them. Why didn’t you go to a few games now and then since the time you were a kid?
  17. Big splash on draft night. Induct JJ into ring of honor. Part 3 of their image rehab will be announcing their color scheme change to “H-town blue”, red, and white and unveiling their 2024 uniforms.
  18. Great movie. Normally with Marvel and Star Wars, I want as many minutes of content as possible even if others say it’s unnecessary for plot (e.g. any conversations between Luke and Ahsoka in BOBF, or between Yoda/Obiwan/Quigon/Anakin force ghosts and Ahsoka/Luke; more episodes in Marvel/Star Wars limited series, etc.). OTOH, this movie could’ve afforded condensing Miles’s mom by at least 50%. I thought my younger kids were going to disengage every time she had a 5 minute scene ranting either to the dad or to Miles. You love your son who is coming of age and isn’t the little boy you see him as, we got it. Gwen’s and Miguel’s stories were great. I also didn’t know it was a to be continued movie and wondered if it was going to be abruptly and sloppily ended after hitting the two hour mark. Looking forward to the next one. Hopefully it won’t take 3-4 years in between again.
  19. Fastbreak has been up in here as Pippen’s white knight without realizing his boy is a jealous asshole who called Jordan a horrible player.
  20. The offense and defense were both dog shit last year when they won 3. Now they have better coaches, new QB and DE, a couple free agents on defense, and a weak schedule. They should double their win total.
  21. That post was responding to her post, and not what I originally said. I originally said that being a woman was not called out as a sin, but it does treat homosexuality that way. She replied that Bible has examples that treat women lesser. Ok, but that’s not what I said.
