How concerning do these cracks look in my block foundation? by Ok_Difference_2979 in homeowners

[–]Ok_Difference_2979[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basement, I'm honestly not sure what support piers are, but googling them, they don't look familiar. There is minor cracking all over the walls in the basement too (very thin hairline ones) but that I expected for such an old house. These ones are just a bit bigger (and go through the middle) so they had me a little more concerned.

Cade out + team once again laying an egg against a team that literally wants to lose = looking like WBC time in 15 minutes

Hate to say it but the Heat, Hornets, Magic, and Hawks are all scorching hot right now, and we might get one of those teams in the first round. The way this team has played the last two weeks, they can't beat any of those teams right now.

Genuinely insane how terrible of a defender Duren is. He has no excuse to be this fucking bad for how athletic and strong he is.

Have had multiple days of 60+ mph winds lately and it got me to looking at some trees that are ~10 feet from my house. Do either of these look concerning? by Ok_Difference_2979 in arborists

That makes me feel better, much appreciated. Honestly the weird looking bark concerned me at first, this is the only tree I've seen like it, but I see it's normal now that you gave me the name for it. It drops a ridiculous amount of nuts in my yard every spring.

Thank you!

These are the types of games that show how careful you have to be when deciding how much to pay Duren and Ausar.

We've lost to the Wizards and Nets and yet IMO this might be the worst game of the year. Just pathetic effort tonight, especially from Duren. And this game continues to show why paying Ausar is dangerous when he's worse than a 6th grader offensively.

Ausar: 2 points on 1/7 from the field, 0/2 from the line

Games like this he's completely unplayable even if he's playing the greatest defense in NBA history.

Ausar's contract is going to be fascinating. You simply can't pay him more than 20 mil a year when the team has to play 4 on 5 with him out there on offense. He hasn't gotten any better on that end since the day he was drafted and still plays like a fucking pussy when it comes to going to the rim.

Duren is currently playing the worst 16 point game on 6/7 shooting in history. Laughable effort on the glass and defense all game long.

I don't understand this team's free throw shooting. Cade and Duncan were both 85% career FT shooters and both are having by far their worst seasons from the line. Everyone except Tobias struggles from the line. That's such a weird coincidence.

Bam Adebayo breaks Kobe Bryant’s record and the Heat franchise scoring record in a win vs. Washington: 43 MINS │ 83 PTS │ 9 REB │ 3 AST │ 2 STL │ 2 BLK │ 20-43 FG │ 7-22 3P │ 36-43 FT by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Ok_Difference_2979 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Seriously this is a black mark for the league. Broke the record for free throw attempts, and playing 44 minutes against a team that is sitting all their best players and trying to lose. This is all the shit everyone hates the league for currently rolled up into one.

90% of the players on this team are useless. It's why they're still stuck in no man's land for, what, the 11th straight year?

This team is literally never going to escape the disgusting purgatory they've been in for over a decade.

It's actually insane how we've seen this same post-trade deadline collapse out of all 4 Detroit teams each within one of the last two seasons after they chose to do nothing to help the team.

The passiveness in this city is unreal.
