After you think of it... they've probably played 6 actual seasons instead of 5 over the past few years. Id be elated if Steph didnt play again this year if i was a GS fan.
I don't know how elated I would be if I just plunked down a cool $35,000 for a PSL on top of $600/seat for 41 games.

At this point, I'm convinced Pop is just doing a bit where he refuses to play Murray and White at the same time.

Try a different angle.
Highlight her keen eye and sense of value when making these purchases in the first place. Her gift needs to be shared. The rental fee ensures that if something does get broken or stolen, it’s just an opportunity to do what you do best and seek out the replacements.
Really, the only one you are hurting by not sharing your gift is yourself.
I tried every angle possible. I did push it as a way to share her shit with the world, like an art show. I tried pitching it as an economic means to buy even more shit - we could take 20% of the profit and reinvest in more shit. I even suggested we could travel around the fucking world to go buy shit and write the trips off. Her response was something along the lines of, "I don't want to turn my hobby into work. I do this for fun and to relax and I don't want it to become stressful and like a job."

The "it's not done" concept is one that I struggled with for many years. Because it's NEVER done. A normal person furnishes a room, throws some paintings (or a giant ceramic crab, as the case may be) up on the wall and that's that. But not until it was explained to me that decor is a fluid, constantly changing ideal rather than something that has an absolute beginning and an end, did I truly give up. Good luck Celery. It only gets worse.
And for a more apropos contribution to this thread... my wife has an acquaintance who is a wedding planner. Apparently it is a thing now for there to be a special table at wedding receptions for the bride and groom. And it is apparently now a thing that the bride/groom table be something especially "unique". And it is apparently now competitive among brides in having an especially unique bride/groom table. And guess who has the most unique one-of-a-kind plates, table settings, furnishings, table cloths, nick knacks, etc?
And guess who was offered something like $1500-2000 per weekend to rent this shit out but thinks it's kinda trashy to rent out your personal stuff and doesn't want the hassle of people coming in and removing our stuff and is afraid for something to get damaged because, "That stuff is irreplaceable and they don't make those plates anymore and I don't want my stuff broken. And can you imagine them coming in and removing that loveseat right out of our living room for the weekend?" The most uncomfortable love seat known to man? Not only can I imagine them removing it and hopefully never bringing it back, but I'm pretty sure I would have an orgasm if somebody paid good American dollars for the pain of actually sitting on it. Are you fucking kidding me?
So in the most unbelievable upset in the history of mankind, I was on the verge of monetizing
allsome of the ridiculous crap that my wife has procured over the years only to be kicked in the nuts.-

Jacala off of West Ave for good Tex Mex.
Tip Top Cafe for CFS
My Dad grew up in SA (went to the old and new Edison HS). So, when we moved there we used to go to that area a lot.
Deweese's Tip Top sucks now. The food has gone to shit. I'm fairly certain they have new management and while the recipes seem similar, the food tastes like they tried to save a few bucks and go with cheaper/worse ingredients. The last couple of times I've been there, it has been barely edible. There used to be a 20 minute wait to get a table, now they are only half full at lunch time and have plenty of parking. The old blue hair waitresses are all gone, too. It's not even close to the classic place it used to be.

Only in San Antonio does it seem completely normal that the best thing at a donut shop is the breakfast tacos. But yeah, that place is great.

yeah, I was thinking _'Antoni would be axed soon, but Fertitti is too cheap to eat the millions.
One thing that is making this entire situation worse is the fallout from the Morey/China tweet thing. I don't know what is out there publicly, but from what I was told by someone who works for the Spurs and would know, the Rockets lost a smooth $25 million in revenue right off the bat (and per year going forward) after the shit hit the fan. I was also told that the Warriors took a similar hit and that the entire league could expect about an overall 10% loss in revenue. All of this may be common knowledge already, but I can't imagine it making things better on the court for the Rockets as they balance Harden's and Westbrook's contracts (plus Eric Gordon and Capella) along with trying building out a championship roster with limited future draft picks. You can talk all you want about adding Kevin Love or Lamarcus Aldridge, but outside of picking scraps off the G league heap and vets on buyouts, I don't see that they have much choice beyond 'dancing with who brung ya' at this point.

I was more wondering where all the hate and negativity will go.
Easy answer: Los Angeles. There's plenty of Lebron hate to go around and then there is the fact that >90% of LA basketball fans are Lakers fans, so they will be sniping at Kawhi and the Clippers as they inevitably blow through the league this year.
Also, you can always count on Joel Embiid to stir things up. Plus, you should never discount the "kicking a man when he's down" factor that a struggling Harden/Westbrook would provide when both are filling up box scores and losing. Personally, I think they will get it together and start winning at a decent clip but you are crazy if you think NBA twitter would ignore the prospect of two teammates both posting triple doubles while losing.

Too many good looks that didn't go down to win this one tonight. All things considered though, not a terrible loss by any means.
My lord though, I have never felt less confident in any player with the ball in the fourth quarter as Derozen. He's just a choke waiting to happen. Certainly there is some eastern conference team that thinks they are a Derozen away from making a playoff run. Somebody call MJ and see if he's feeling frisky.

Dwight Howard still isn't any less of a bitch.

Who are you guys more excited for: Kygo or Daddy Yankee?

Someone convince me Trey Lyles hasn't been a disaster thus far..... Maybe my questioning him will give him the motivation he needs.
He's a bad defender, both individually and team. However, he's been surprisingly effective on the boards and he hasn't been the brain dead chucker he was purported to be. If he could even be decent defensively, then he has a role on this team.

Warp the offense into nonstop PnR's for Russell, lose every game 118-86, but Russell averages 27 ppg, trade him at his highest value, draft in the top 5, bring back Steph and Klay to start next season, profit?
This strategy is commonly referred to as being ""light years ahead of probably every other team in structure, in planning, in how we're going to go about things."

To be fair, we shouldn't have needed Murray in the last 5 minutes. We should have put the game away. If it's more back and forth during the 4th quarter then Pop might manage his minutes differently.
That's true, but he didn't play the last five minutes against Washington and New York either and both of those games were tight all the way through the 4th quarter.
-
I get that Murray is on a minutes restriction, but you would think that they would maybe spread it out a little so he can finish the game. Ya know... maybe save three of those minutes for when they matter the most? They kind of need both he and White on the court together to get stops down the stretch. If we learned anything from last season it was that they couldn't stay in front of anybody in crunch time. Well that, and we also learned that Derozen is a giant fucking choke.

I mean, who do you have as the favorite. A regular season loss against the Suns doesn’t change my opinion of them at all, especially when they don’t have PG. Not that hard to understand how a team could sleepwalk into a game against the suns and expect to win.
We also have to entertain the notion that the Suns might actually be pretty good. I thought they were going to be one of the worst teams in the league, but so far they pasted the Kings, took the Nuggets to overtime in Denver and then beat the Clippers the following night. That's a pretty tough back to back coming off altitude and overtime, and then beating who most people think is the best team in the league. And they are doing it without Ayton and missed Rubio for the Clippers game. It would be stunning if Kelly Oubre and the rest of the crew kept this shit up all season, but the Suns arguably have the most impressive start of any team in the league so far.

The Clippers' 2nd unit really is unfair. You fight like hell to score against Beverly, Kawhi, and George (once he's back), and then they send in the unstoppable duo of Williams/Harrell.
I know it's way too early, but I don't see how they don't win the title if they stay healthy.
Is it time to go back and revisit what a horrible trade Houston made for Chris Paul? Lou Williams and Pat Beverly with two of the most owner friendly contracts in the league, Harrell, plus a first round pick that ended up netting the Clips Danilo Gallilnari (a big piece of the Paul George trade ultimately). All of that for the pleasure of grossly overpaying the injury plagued point god and subsequently having to dump another four first round picks/swaps to get rid of his contract and acquire Westbrook.

Most significant news of the season so far:

I was flipping back and forth between the spurs and the astros so my attention wasn't great, but a few knee jerk thoughts:
1. Rudy Gay looks fat. The headband may add 10 pounds, but I didn't even recognize him. Marco isn't in great condition either, but Gay has always been thin as a rail. Always great for a guy with a history of leg problems to be lugging around extra weight.
2. Murray looked really good for a guy who hasn't played in a year. That dude is going to fill up some box scores this season.
3. Free LW3. No burn at all.
4. No White and Murray on the court at the same time. Because you wouldn't ever want to put your best defensive backcourt out there to see if they stir some shit up.
5. Trey Lyles started and played 24 minutes and grabbed 11 boards. Much like the Wiley Peck post, my expectations have already been exceeded for the season. He's going to make me scream at my TV 1000 times this year because of his mind numbing defense, but whatever.
6. Patty Mills lives in Southtown and likes to visit local coffee shops.
7. The Knicks are one of the five worst teams in the league. I don't think we learned much last night. Take that for data.
-
Yeah... I was trying to come up with a better one, but I may have to concede on Wiley Peck.
Maybe Simmie Hill, but he was ABA. That kinda feels like cheating. Moe Layton had an actual semblance of a career. Geoff "The Cookie Monster" Crompton? He was memorable at least for being fat. How about Ozell Jones?

feed wiley peck on the breaks.
The season has already exceeded expectations with this post alone. I mean, there are obscure Spurs references... and then there are obscure Spurs references. And Wiley Peck is about as obscure as they get. Alfrederick Hughes? I mean, everyone has heard of Alfrederick Hughes. But you're going way deep to pull Wiley Peck out of your ass. Well done.

I thought the Tony deal last night was pretty good. Usually those things are rather drawn out and boring, but I thought it was better than Tim's or Manu's.
I tend to forget how good Tony really was at his peak. Also overlooked is how hard that guy worked to make himself into a great player. He couldn't shoot outside of 15 feet for the first half of his career. He wasn't a natural passer with an innate feel for the game. But he worked his ass off and learned how to do those things. Also, that fucker could use his speed to get anywhere he wanted to on the court and I can't recall anybody his size who could finish in the paint in traffic as well as he did. He was uncanny in that regard.
I don't think Parker was ever as beloved as Tim and Manu, but I don't think you could have asked for anything more out of him -- except maybe not fucking Erin Barry and calling Kawhi out publicly but nobody's perfect.
Man... what a run those three had. We won't ever see anything like that again.
