    It’s not a whatabout.  He made a specific statement about what would be his “saddest day in America”. Not 9/11, not political figures who have given their life for their beliefs.  It was the “day someone lays hands on AOC”.   I’m not the one who oddly specific.   The person shouldn’t matter. I’d love to go back and get some of yalls hot tales from the ballgame a few years ago. Wonder if you’d stand behind them today. 

    I can tell you that Jan 6th was my saddest day as an American. Previously it was 9/11. Seeing the end of the peaceful transition of power was a pretty big deal imo.

    Sadder than when Kennedy’s brains were transplanted onto his wife?  His brother?  Reagan. Or when several others have taken a literal bullet for their political beliefs over the last 40 years, up to and including a couple years ago at a fucking softball game.  

    Try using some brain power and get back to us on the differences between what he’s talking about and what you said.

    Audiogon is probably the most reliable in terms of not getting screwed over.  It's a pretty focused and small community.

    That said, 5-10 years ago I made a bunch of money buying on craigslist or eBay and selling on Audiogon, simply because Audiogon has a "Blue Book" and most people abide by that pricing.  So, if you can wrangle deals some 30-50 percent below Bluebook elsewhere, which wasn't typically difficult, you could sell on Audiogon for a profit.  It was a bit of a beating, I either needed to scale up or quit, so I did the latter.

    Seconded on Audiogon.

    Jamal Murray is playing like a borderline 3rd option on a title team - let alone 2nd. Until he can get a little closer to championship 2nd option this Nuggets team isn't going anywhere. He might not have that ceiling, in which case, better grab a fresh pack of dry erase markers.

    Right now he's basically a poor man's CJ McCollum. And CJ has proven repeatedly that he isn't a legit 2nd option for a contender. (Not that I'm convinced Dame is a legit #1 for a contender)

    On the Mavs - holy shit Luka needs help. That kid is amazing but he isn't LeBron or Duncan or KG level where he can just drag a bunch of Joes to the playoffs ever year. At least he isn't that yet.

    He’s always been that. People watched the playoffs and thought he was a star despite him never showing that during the regular season. He’s not an elite shooter, not an elite athlete, not an elite finisher, and not an elite handle. He’s a good player not a superstar.

    To be fair, he is being an average Republican if he's lying about what he stands for. Hell, they deceive themselves about what they stand for.

    Judging by Smax' hostility, he may be a Republican smugly satisfied that he or she is not an ebil lib radical socialist. 

    How can you tell if someone who claims to be an average Republican is telling the truth about anything? It's pretty clear that most of them don't distinguish between true or false or even real or unreal.

    It's a fucking cult.

    Michael Steele (former head of the GOP) and Mitt Romney (former GOP presidential nominee) are not average Republicans if they are Republicans at all.

    He’s a piece of shit human being so I would say he represents the current Republican Party well

    Think this is from a previous season, no way Evan is let on the show again (and he's not listed on any of the cast leaks), and Easy is apparently skinny which he doesn't look to be in this pic, where'd you find it?

    Kenny is in that pic also I believe and I see zero chance he’s back for the same reasons as Evan

    I fully expect people to blame Shaka the duration of this thread and I’m not too sure why.  Baylor is just a way better team than we are.  My fear is we will make mistakes trying to keep up with the athleticism, preciseness, and execution of Baylor.  An example of that is Baylor just took a charge right outside the RA and then we try to do the same thing but not realizing we were so far deep in the RA is an auto-block. 

    I like this test for the team.  This is the best team they will play all year. 

    Those are all reasons to blame Shaka. You literally talked about the precision that Baylor executes at. That’s a coaching problem

    We needed a body and we got a body. Hopefully he gives us enough to stay top 4 and push for a trophy.

    I saw and interesting idea posited regarding long term roster moves. It was meeting Gini's contract demands and move him to the 6 permanently, move Fabs back as VvD's permanent partner and then use the money that would most likely be spent on a big time CB this summer use it in the midfield or attack. I don't hate it.

    I don’t like Gini as the 6. Not saying he can’t do it but Fabinho is the best holding mid in the world and the best we’ve had since Masch.

    Just brought this home.  It belonged to my parents.  Under my breath, I call it the "Beautiful Monster."  It's an early 1960s Heath & Brown Chinoiserie credenza, modified to house a hifi system.  It's 9' 4" in length and weighs (if I had to guess) between 350 and 400 pounds empty (the speakers weigh 60 lbs each).  The components and speakers are out temporarily (amp is being repaired, speakers need new surrounds, turntable needs a new belt and cartridge just because).  I'll have my other stereo, turntable and speakers in it until everything is ready to put back in.  But I'm looking forward to having a dedicated stereo system in the living room.  
     

    More pictures to follow as it comes together.

    That’s an incredible piece.

    We're now out of CBs if Klopp is to be believed. Matip's ankle injury is serious according to him. 

    I mean how can we not buy someone. I get not spending on just anyone but we cannot have a roster with zero CBs. That’s insane

    So...what changed? Just more clinical? Or just shitty defending by Spurs?

    Both. We also were better in the press today I thought and looked more willing to counter than we have been.
