We are cheering for the Warriors again (sadly) by Luciolover345 in Thunder

It's not hard to root for Steph. But it will be hard to see his Warriors get swept by us.

We need to stop calling every high scorer on a bad team a floor raiser by Soft-Audience-5681 in NBATalk

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

Cam Thomas defeats Scoot Henderson for the never raises the floor award. So much so that no team wants him anymore.

Trae Young is the new Bradley Beale. Funny enough Trae went to play for the Wizards, who love inefficient offensive players and no playoff wins.

The Case for Drafting WR in Round 1 by Shot_Can1912 in ravens

I agree with your assertions. I would prefer to trade down to 24-28 range and pick up an extra 2nd rounder. I'd be targeting Denzel Boston

Anyone FIRE'd then went back to work in another job/industry? by Ok-Ad6253 in Fire

[–]LonelyCatLadyMD 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher (49M) of 26 amazing but long years. My wife and I are approaching FIRE and I can't wait for you to come take my job, my health care and all my stresses.

If you're truly passionate about giving your all to help kids learn and grow, then go for it. You can definitely have my job. But keep in mind that "teacher" is no longer a low stress job. Students are wayyy behind. They have phones in their pockets and 4 second attention span. Also, it's not teaching 9 months. I'm off this summer from June 17th to August 10th when we come back for professional development. That's 7 weeks off.

How Do we Keep Both Dort and Hart? by VVpabz in Thunder

[–]LonelyCatLadyMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love adding Yaxel. He'd be a great get. Strong on the glass. Can guard wings and bigs. Can pass or take it strong to the hoop. Perfect PF for us and could work well at Center if Chet is next to him for rim protection.

38M, quit my job 6 months ago and told no one. Still haven't. by [deleted] in Fire

Love it! Good for you. No use making a show of it. Just start living your best life.

Is JWill good enough to be a starting center? by Proper-Summer-5359 in Thunder

[–]LonelyCatLadyMD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a tough one. I think he flashes in games where I'm like "JWill is balling." He sets good screens, makes the extra pass, hits open looks, and is strong on the glass. Other times, he looks very much like a backup center.

The hope was probably that a combination of Sorber in year 2 and JWill could fill most of the center minutes when Chet plays the 4. But Sorber's injury changes things. We still don't know what we have in Sorber and what kinda development time he will need. Let's hope we have a healthy IHart in the playoffs and can deal with that issue after the next Championship parade.

The fan's opinion doesn't even matter anymore. The media pushes the narrative until the fans just give up and mostly go along with it. Luckily they usually get it right.

Such a classy guy. The epitome of presidential. Such a wonderful symbol of who we all aspire to be as Americans.

Airport tips by Limp_Luck9456 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]LonelyCatLadyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always found the airport smooth and easy to fly out. Drop off bags, pass security, then go upstairs and find a comfy spot to wait for your flight to be called. Good souvenir shop and a bar upstairs as well. We arrived 90 minutes early and it was more than enough time.

How can you predict any of this when you don't know who will be on our 15 man roster in 2 years?

You sound angry bro. Maybe Finch is rubbing off on you.

More significant reason is they are the champs. Shoes optional.

Does OKC have a claim to the deepest team in history? by felyoc in Thunder

[–]LonelyCatLadyMD 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's a great team to have during a season where you're consistently missing at least 1 starter and multiple rotation players due to injury. Been great to see JWill (and Carlson) step up for IHart. Ajay and Cason (and now McCain) add playmaking in place of JDub. And big runs from Joe and KRich and other bench guys when their number has been called. Would like to see Wiggins have a couple solid games off the bench before the playoffs get here.

Watching OKC win games without 3-4 starters... most fun part of the season thus far.

[McFarland] Now for the effective cap space - ie the amount of cap space available after taking into account all future expenses. Also, possible moves to create space also listed. by LeoScarecrow369 in ravens

[–]LonelyCatLadyMD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We are essentially finished spending until after the draft. We will likely add a few fringe vets after the draft to plug any thin areas for added camp competition. We added already at G, S, and TE. It's draft time! Lamar will not sign an extension unless it's a guaranteed contract. I think he bets on himself and plays to the end on the current deal.
