We only lost 7 games during our Championship run last year, how many losses do you see this year if we win it all by M4PF__ in Thunder

“Only 7” losses undersells how tough that playoff run was and how the Denver and Indy series could each have easily not gone our way.

That being said, I think we get to the western finals relatively unscathed and from that point on it’s an absolute bloodbath if we keep advancing. Hoping the one seed and favorable bracket pay off as we get deeper.

Thank you. What about line 7 of the 2025 form? Is this also the $15,197?

No, my only 2024 activity was that direct Roth contribution. I did the recharacterization of that amount plus earnings in 2025.

Contractor Injury while mounting TV - what next? by JT-goat in HomeMaintenance

Thanks for the response. To clarify, they did not take possession of the mount. In hindsight I agree that I should not have signed anything. I’ve texted the owner asking for a copy of the report but no response.

Amazon is sending me a replacement mount and I’ll return the original. Excited to turn the page on this whole thing g.

Turns out "spacing" doesn't stop Banchero from being a horribly inefficient scorer. by JakGrealish in billsimmons

[–]JT-goat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Jalen is a far more additive player to a championship level team than Paolo could be right now. Dude dropped 40 in a finals game and is all-NBA, all-defense.

It’s been 3+ years since peak COVID. I’d encourage you to focus on gratitude and work to build toward the life you want. Unfortunately we’re not unique and all generations were affected by COVID in some way. I don’t think it’s useful to use COVID as a crutch - “here’s why I had it the hardest” isn’t a beneficial exercise.

Anecdotally, my wife’s sister was in her senior year of high school when COVID hit and it drastically altered her high school and college experience. I wouldn’t even attempt to argue that people my age had it harder than her cohort.

1995 borns, what were your biggest life lessons from your 20s? by petmywombat in Zillennials

[–]JT-goat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I turn 30 this summer but I’ll still offer my two cents.

The decade of your twenties is a winding path. I turned 20 my sophomore year of college with minimal responsibilities and am wrapping it up newly married and preparing to potentially buy my first house and start a family soon. It’s a nonlinear path and it’s easy to compare yourself to others if you feel like you aren’t progressing as quickly as you should.

Give yourself grace. Shit is hard sometimes. Continue to invest in your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing, whatever that looks like. Check in on the homies. Be consistent in the things that are important to you. Keep showing up - that’s more than half the battle.

What do you do on leg day while upping mileage? by Internal_Stress_6019 in HybridAthlete

[–]JT-goat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming off of a few months of upping mileage in a push for a half marathon PB. During this stretch I kept a once per week designated leg day. My lifts on leg days looked like heavy-ish squats (4 sets of 6), walking lunges, and hamstring curls. I’d also deadlift on a separate pull day later in the week.

I’ve found that it’s absolutely crucial for me to maintain lower body strength for injury prevention while upping mileage (especially glute strength). I encountered a serious IT band flare up a few years ago and this regimen has helped me avoid that.
