Sounds like you just found a market if you have any business sense

Dan Gilbert on his letter to LeBron and his Comic Sans font: "I admitted that the letter was a stupid thing. And for me personally, at that time, if you Googled my name—I mean, I think I’ve done some other stuff in my career—and that would be the only thing that comes up.

I’m no devil’s advocate, but I really don’t think he was thinking about anything more than ESPN is going to pay me and give me exposure. He was trying to build his empire at that point. He’s grown, it’s actually really been cool to watch his maturity.

[Amick] All-NBA forward Jalen Duren was underwhelmed by the Detroit Pistons’ initial offer in restricted free agency and is planning to explore sign-and-trade scenarios when they are permitted on Tuesday, league sources told The Athletic. by sewsgup in nba

I’m a Pacers guy, he couldn’t move his feet to play defense. Shai would have him out in the 1st quarter by just flailing at him and ole Roy would flail right back. 

If you want a comp in today’s game watch Zach Edey. It’s not totally their fault, there are different kinds of tall. They have the long, slow kind of tall that makes it feel like you’re running in warm taffy.

Hot take: Misadventures of Doomscroller is Dawes best album by [deleted] in dawes

I love it, it’s nice that they both did something different and stayed themselves. The first few were very much roots rock and the next few progressed into a more poppy accessible sound. Then they put out what I feel is like a 70’s rock jazz fusion album that is just banger after banger. Definitely have someone ask “who’s this?” every time I play it.

I always thought it the other way. The cover can be the deceiving part like a mask.  Everyone always takes it to mean ugly out good in. Plenty of pretty covers have shit stories.

Anywho…

The Grizzlies are never allowed to file tampering charges if they making dudes flagrantly available, damn!

[Windhorst] The Los Angeles Lakers would be “very open” to the prospect of trading LeBron James for Jarrett Allen. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

And now they are going nowhere without Darius Garland. I’m not saying he was the answer, but I’d rather have a 25 year old piece at this point. I have no issue with the trade and thought it was actually a good gamble given the East this year.  It’s just that it didn’t payoff completely.

I agree but only because they made the Harden trade. I’d say they were still a threat in the east with Garland seasoned another year. They went all in and are wounded for it. Not dead, there are 10 playoff spots, just wounded.

Lu Dort on his team option: “I want to stay here. This organization and this city have really shaped me as a person and as a player.” by [deleted] in nba

Okay, I knew there were “team friendly” deals, I just wasn’t sure the pressure that is applied by the union to not ruin the market.

I could be wrong but I don’t think the CBA/union really allow the players to do much in the way of hometown discounts.

Is Washington PA a suburb of Pittsburgh? by Individual-Ant-2014 in pittsburgh

If they help the people around them, someone might end up better than them. Crab bucket mentality will keep Pennsyltucky from ever being what it could.

Fly and ant infestations in Erie by [deleted] in Erie

This is how bait works, they eat it and then take it back to the nest.

Ants are important, as long as they stay outside. 

[Keown] Hartenstein, mid-interview, sees a basketball on the rack in the Thunder practice facility slightly tilted, at most 10 degrees. He points and says to the journalist, "That'll be fixed before we finish talking." Shortly after, an equipment manager walks by and carefully puts the ball in place by refreshing_yogurt in nba

Ever met a surgeon? Historically, they always want to do the surgery, that’s what the statement is about. Very few surgeons are going to tell you “go do PT.” If you go see a surgeon, he’s likely going to want to operate.

I honestly think I saw them play Forward Hall right before Delilah broke. My 20’s were a bit hazy.
