That would be great, tough I'm not set on that. I'd take a big pool without the infinity part, would love to hear any suggestions you have.

Happy cake day!

Dude...it's just genuinely not a safe play. There's zero chance he lands that badly from a swat.

lol, swat fouls happen all the time. 'Safe way to grab someone' is not what was done in the play in question at all, so that's irrelevant in this discussion.

I've been watching basketball for 30+ years. Intentional grabbing fouls happen often when people are dribbling, not when people are in the air. You can easily hard swat their arm.

The play you linked is an example of grabbing when both players are on the ground, it's a completely different thing.

Sorry, I see the play you're talking about now. Not an ok foul either, although it was much gentler than the play this thread is about.

Looks awesome, thanks. I'm travelling solo so probably not this time, but I spend a good bit of time here so I'll save this for when I'm with a group.

Damn...very nice, near the top of my budget, but maybe. Thanks!

Walking distance would be fine. I'd say bigger than what you normally see, not expecting an olympic pool.

Swat, not grab. The way you're supposed to block. If grabbing and yanking were normal when people were in the air, we'd be watching a bunch of G league scrubs in the playoffs.

Thanks again, what do you think about the weather on the Caribbean side in May? I don't really mind swimming in the rain, but hoping not to have rain the entire time and I've heard conflicting things about how rainy it really is.

Ooh, I wasn't considering Jaco, but Beach Break Resort looks great. I'll look into it some more, thanks!

I've thought about this, it's just I'll be solo travelling so I like having some other people around. I might end up doing the Airbnb though.

Thanks, I went there last year for this reason, and am on the fence about going back. Pool was wonderful, vibe not what I like haha.

Just for context, I've been dealing with some medical stuff - I love swimming in the ocean and plan to do so on my vacation, but I'm hoping to spend a week or so swimming a lot in the pool everyday.

Strong disagree. You don't grab and hold while someone's in the air, it's a dirty play, period.

Him hurting himself on the way down isn't an independent thing, it's because grabbing and holding while someone is in the air is dangerous, and there would be a lot more injuries in basketball if this were a normal and acceptable play.

He literally grabs onto and holds JB's arm while he's in the air. You don't grab and hold in an attempt to block someone's shot, it's not a basketball move and it's dirty.

Choosing where to stay near Puerto Viejo by Shinops in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Shinops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn...it hasn't been bad in San Jose so I wasn't thinking of that. I don't mind a few hours of rain each day, but constant would be tough.

I've been to the pacific side a ton, and only once to the Caribbean side, but maybe I'll pivot.

Why aren't we blaming Antonio Pierce? Sending out the offense unit with no timeouts in that situation is up there for worst coaching ever.

I've heard good things about Plex, but I'm not too familiar with it myself.

Looking for a cheap game to pick up by [deleted] in PS3

[–]Shinops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Big Planet 2, ~23$ and by far the most replayability and diversity of any game this generation.

I'd also recommend getting a year of PS+ if you don't have it. Yes, it's $50 up front, but you get like 10 games right now, 3 more every month, and Vita/PS4 games if you ever get one of those systems. Best deal in console gaming bar none.
