  1. In other news... the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.
  2. They have basil too at HEB. Biggest time saver ever in the kitchen. I'm also a recent converter to this ridiculous item... chicken shredder. I buy so many rotisserie chickens and then shred and use them in everything.... chicken chili, tortilla soup, gumbo ya ya, various chicken/pasta dishes, etc.
  3. This rookie class appears to be pretty ridiculous. Aside from those ahove, both Fairs and Queen have been really good for New Orleans. And Collin Murray Boyles from Toronto is a total animal. Love the way he gets after it on defense. I've been beyond impressed with Dylan Harper so far. I don't think he's going to get enough minutes to win ROY especially compared to the kind of numbers Edgecombe is going to put up playing 40 mpg, but he may very well end up being the best player in this draft. Jason Kidd isn't doing Flagg any favors playing him at the point. Are they still doing that? So, so dumb.
  4. Some sad news to report on the SA restaurant front: Good Time Charlies on Broadway has apparently got the blues and closed. Sold to the Do-Seum, probably for parking. Bee's on Lockhill-Selma has closed also. That one hurts. I've been eating there for 40+ years going back to when it was Senor Mike's.
  5. It was 100% about getting out of that contract. That albatross destroyed their cap and ability to re-sign their own free agents (Bruce Brown, KCP, etc.) or make any other moves for three years and they had no bench because of it. That they were able to replace MPJ with a three point threat like Cam Johnson at almost $20 million a year less was great work by their front office to unfuck themselves.
  6. Wemby only took 8 shots tonight. Still had 24 points (without taking a 3) 15 boards and was +35.
  7. That might be raps. Also Atlanta loses tonight to Bulls and now sitting at 1-3. People have been predicting them to be top 4 in the east but they’ve never been anything but .500 as long as Young has been there. It’s way early but I’m keeping an eye on that swap.
  8. And the fucker can’t make a free throw either.
  9. Live ball turnovers are the fastest way to let the other team back in the game. Castle has been loose with it all season. Need to take care of the ball.
  10. Fuck. No front court depth. It's times like these that make you wish Zach Collins was still on the roster.
  11. I didn't watch one second of that game, but there is no universe where Austin Reaves -- who is neither a physical post player or someone relelentlessly attacking the basket off the dribble -- should be getting to the free throw line that many times. Really, it's okay for the offensive and defensive player to make contact and not call a foul. It's called a "no call" and the league had it forever and everybody was cool with it. Hell, they used to do it on block/charges all the time and people were still okay with it. Plyaers would collide, the ball would roll out of bounds, they would usually give the ball back to the offensive team, and the game would go on. And players would stay on the court because they weren't getting in foul trouble with bullshit ticky tack calls. Somehow, we all managed to live through it and actually enjoy the games instead of this idiotic ass parade to the free throw line.
  12. Look at this shit in my man’s third pro game ever along with a smooth +33. This team is winning 50. Keldon finding his destiny as a hustle guy off the bench is gratifying. When they get Fox back plus Olynyk as another stretch big plus Sochan as another on ball defender? Yeah unless they get hit with the injury bug they’re getting 50.
  13. The most amazing stat so far for wemby is 2 games, 0 turnovers. He was a turnover machine last two years.
  14. Puffy tacos: Taco house on San Pedro or viva on McCullough (used to be Elaine’s). The place that used to be Taco Riendo on San Pedro that was also an Elaines at one point had great puffies too. I don’t know what it’s called now.
  15. That was ugly but I’ll take it.
  16. Bad reach on Victor. Probably should be a no call but there’s no need for that when you’re 8 feet tall.
  17. I’d forgotten how annoying Jordan Poole is. Wish he was still in DC where I never had to see him play. Vassell being a consistent three point shooter would make this team really go.
  18. Yet Wilt only won two rings. Still, long term I like what the Spurs have going with Castle and Harper as their foundation around Wemby. Going to be fun (at least for Spurs fans) to see how it plays out.
  19. Always appreicate this thread Tex, but how do you just ignore Bama at Scar and Mizzou at Vandy at the 2:30 timeslot? I'm certainly more interested in both of those than the Big 12 left behinds duking it out for Bucee's coupons. Or maybe I don't know that I need to give my undivided atttention to an undefeated BYU facing off against that whiny cunt Matt Campbell? Either way, I'm still watching the Horns and praying that we don't shit our britches.
  20. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46687886/thunder-alex-caruso-suffers-concussion-placed-protocol I think this is the appropriate way to address Caruso matching up with bigs.
  21. There’s no telling how differently Robinson would be playing in this era. If he were a legitimate three point threat, you would have no chance guarding him off the dribble as fast as he was with that first step. And this is probably blasphemy sprinkled with a heavy dose of recency bias, but Wemby is a markedly better defender. David was ridiculously great, literally one of the best ever, but there’s just never been a player with the reach and timing of Vic that impacts the game like he does.
