I was just poking fun. I mean what does a dog need $100 for other than flea medicine?

Bacon!

Or better yet, cat poop wrapped in bacon!

At least based on my daughter’s dog’s eating preferences.

The real reason we drafted Hansen is so this absolute unit of a center has someone to talk to when we draft her

 

[STOMP]

I love Tommy T's podcast. Here's him and his regular hit with former college and NBA teammate Steve Kerr. At about 34 minutes in Steve starts reflecting on his Trailblazers days

Phoenix won the Brooks/KD trade. Suns got better, Rockets got worse.

Houston was 21-11 after 32 games last season. Houston is 21-11 currently, while playing a very road heavy schedule.
I dunno why I replied...

Maxey, Cunningham, Brunson, Mitchell all solidly ahead of him. How many American guards from the east gonna get in?

Could be arguable that Kel'el Ware has actually been more impactful for them than Powell has.

This is in NO way true. And you actually got the guy that runs this joint to LIKE this?

it's not by position anymore

still, going to be tough for Powell to make it

Also Josh Giddey and maybe Bane.

Ok. So Houston traded Brooks for a HOFer and the record didn’t change while Phoenix improved greatly. KD’s time as a difference maker has passed him by.

there are always crazy results every season in the NBA

for instance, OKC just got clobbered by 27 points, at home, by Charlotte. Charlotte was hot and OKC couldn't throw it in the ocean.

for the season, OKC raced out to a 26-3 record (73 win pace). But over the last 8 games they are 4-4. Cracks in the armor.

Comparing human cigars: Pat Connaughton played one more minute for Charlotte in that game than Hansen Yang did in ours.

You really do need to play to find out in the NBA.

Yep. We beat them when they were good. Now, anyone can beat them.

Didn't SGA miss the game where we beat them?

no...he played

but Jalen Williams, Holmgren, Dort, and Caruso didn't play; 3 starters and a 6th man

Big deal.

Kobe in Germany for PRP treatment yet it's still "experimental"

 

[Rastapopoulos]

but Jalen Williams, Holmgren, Dort, and Caruso didn't play; 3 starters and a 6th man

And yet nobody else could beat them.
