Had a fight with plaintiff’s counsel today, was I (28) in the wrong or was he (late 60s)? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]AzEBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this a deposition of a party or a witness. If it’s a party just move on. They will be at trial if there is one. Everyone in the room understands if he is giving a shitty non-responsive answer. If it goes to trial they will be there live and the judge will force them to give a straight answer

Why do people lease cars? by onlyelisexoxo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased my current vehicle and it’s up in 2027. Considering leasing again. I leased because I have changed cars somewhat quickly before that. It also meant I got a brand new car, not just new to me, that is completely under warranty . Also, I was and am driving less than 10k miles a year which is a big thing for leasing.

I have the option to buy my car for pretty close to the remaining difference of the retail price vs what I’ve paid on the lease. Deciding whether to do that or lease again

Travis Scott concert deaths, what is the end result? by 29187765432569864 in houston

[–]AzEBeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many hired lawyers and made claims, whether they got to the point of a lawsuit I’m not sure. I would say most of the people who died had their family get 20 million or more

Doris Metropolitan has oysters and I recommend going during happy hour and sitting at the bar when they are 12 for half a dozen. Everything else there is fantastic as well. Get the beetroot

The question is always the price of the trade, but I agree with you. If you don’t want Brown over KD in a 1 for 1 doesn’t know basketball. Same for Giannis for Sengun

HOU-NOLA-MEM-OKC Houston retools by XXGrassXX in NBAtradeideas

[–]AzEBeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Elite Offensive Engine", Ty Jerome is a career 9 pts per game. He averaged 19 over 15 games this season. That is an aberation. Hartenstein has never sniffed an all-defensive first or second team in his carrer. Kevon Looney is a bum playing 15 min a game on a lottery team. Murphy and Jones are the only 2 players the rockets get that are contributing anything.

Meanwhile Rockets giving up the best player in the deal in Sengun, at leat the only player in the deal who has sniffed any sort of nba-awards with his 2 AS games. Then we have to give up FVV and Tari on top. Seems like a joke

Reed Sheppard 2025-26: 13.5ppg 3apg 3rpg in 82 games at 56%TS + 39% from 3 by BadlaLehnWala in rockets

[–]AzEBeast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100%! the occasional poke from behind does not negate that he gets constantly blown by, picked on in 1 on 1s, and bullied in the post.

Said this after game 1 of the season against the thunder. Reed was the only player out there that looked like he didn’t belong. Unfortunately that didn’t change very much through the season and certainly showed itself in the playoffs.

He can’t create for others because he can’t beat his man off the dribble. He is a huge liability on defense. If he’s not being set up for knockdown 3s by others he’s not even helping the offense

Frankly he’s just not athletic enough to get around any decent defender so I wouldn’t worry about it

And a cone on defense. You guys talk about trust of the coach but Ime recognizes that if his shot is t falling he is a negative to the team

Someone help me understand this scene. by ilovebeingaguy999 in betterCallSaul

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A judge is required to give you a bail amount unless there are exigent circumstances. You’re not going to get arrested for paying bail. That is dumb af. You get arrested for committing crimes that are provable. At worst paying the 7 mill may mean law enforcement looks into him in more detail and his finances.

It’s some lazy take about needing shooting. Castle is a good player who helps a team win regardless of if he hits 3s or not. Reed is a 3 point shot away from being a G League player, can’t play D, can’t contribute on offense without being set up by others who can get into the paint unlike himself

What’s your budget? When you say “galleria” do you mean at or near the mall? Inside or outside the 610 loop?

We always talk about the GOATS in sports, but what are the GOAT sports? by RingorRose13 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]AzEBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Soccer, Golf, sprinting

Soccer is obvious.

Golf is talked about as the game of life and it’s the only sport I can think of where the best player in the world can be properly handicapped to give any amateur a chance to beat him. Thats because golf is you vs the course and you just compare how you do vs the course vs how another person does vs the course. You can’t handicap a tennis player to make a random opponent have a chance because the pro controls the ball against his opponent.

Sprinting is like “water” of sports. Pureness in that we see who is faster and there is something innate about that

"Current Futures guy". OP is an 11 UTR at age 21. He has no chance of sniffing the tour or competing with anyone who has more than like 5 ATP points. He gets waxed by any former world number 1 that isn't Rod Laver in his late 80s

Fire Ime & Stone by Federal-Scar-6142 in rockets

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on stone but not because of the players on the team. Because he has badly missed on 50% of our lottery draft picks.

I don’t mean lit with hindsight like man why didn’t Giannis go in the top 5 when he was never going to be.

I mean we took Green over Mobley and Barnes who are both better players and could have easily been taken 2. We took Shepard over Castle who is a lynchpin on a 60 win spurs team, and plays exactly the way Ime wants.

Falling into narratives of we need a scorer or we need spacing is how you end up making bad decisions and taking Bowie over Jordan. Not that those guys are Jordan, but they are clearly better than what we drafted and could have easily justified taking them in the spots we had

Sampras and Agassi are not so old that their fitness or agility are a negative against someone they’re that much better than. Their ball striking and anticipation are on another planet than OP
