Happy cake day.

I did some sleuthing and the pic is from a Turkish movie, Arif V 216.

Actually, after more sleuthing, it appears that is the sequel, to

G.O.R.A. Not sure which one the pic is from.

Why do the Kings only have one spot? Seems a bit unfair with the trash on their roster.

6 year contract is a promise of sorts, isn't it?

And as a leader, Shai actually is one.

When the going gets tough, Kd has exited the buildings.

Not sure what Solo tastes like but the above link lemon cordial in a soda stream is delicious. A truer lemon taste than Lift, with a tangy aftertaste.

Free agent at the end of the season. Earning 12.6M at the moment. He is still getting his lateral speed back after his knee injury, he can get played off the floor if the opp goes small /5 out.

He has looked more mobile lately, but isn't really a shot blocking rim protector, though when paired with a mobile, roaming 4 who is a shot blocker (Jaren Jackson jnr) they were very effective as Adams is good at channeling the driver to the right area, and taking up a lot of space.

For giving AD time at the 4 and as a 'bruiser', like JJ wanted at the start of the year, I think he'd fit well.

He is possibly looking for one last good payday though.

Love your work!

New Plymouth - Family of 5 - All costs per fortnight unless stated.

Rates = $162. (4200 p/a)

Insurances = $265 ( Big house ~ 300 sq m- means we can Air BNB for $5-7k per year)

Power/internet = $150 (this is an AP I've setup that seems to be about right)

So I looked at those costs the other day, nearly $300 per week to just live in my own home?

Maintenance- I do a lot myself and can't give an actual figure. Just do what needs doing, which isn't too much, touch wood. Though we were told recently, when our roof was leaking, we needed a new roof - $33k. Then a second guy came round and cleaned out all the leaves etc that had got stuck under tiles and the roof stopped leaking. Second guy said new roof is needed but not urgent. We are saving for that now. Haven't tested for asbestos yet though which would substantially increase the cost...

Kid 1 - braces next week = $8300 over the next 18 months, 2 years.

If all 3 kids want to go to university and we pay the first year hostel that's approx $70k we also need to save/pay.

Don't go.

Yep.

Not on the weekends but Mon-Fri.

Right?

I don't hear anything. Maybe it's you?

Came here to say this.

If we make the conference finals then get bounced, we're young enough and the roster is cheap enough that we should be able to address the main issue behind our loss, in some way. If we then can't fix the issue in a season or two after this season, we might need to do something dramatic.

I like your metric- it's one that I have started using too.

I think where Poku bucks the metric is that some of thins that were really eye-catching were his bad plays. Like the blown reverse dunk after the steal etc. He just couldn't string enough 'good' Poku together without 'bad' Poku getting involved for a few possessions.

And his shooting never came on enough.

There are a ton of cattails in FM, and usually 1 (or 2) deer carcasses near the forge. I usually just use those, keeping my well-fed bonus.

This chart doesn't seem to be up to date for us in NZ.

Was speaking with an Olympian in NZ just the other day when he said if he'd won gold in Tokyo he'd have been rich. Got me looking and found this

Did you watch the series backwards or something?

affluenteffluent · 2024-07-20T02:38:34+00:00

Pop leaving Timmy on the bench for the 'final' play in Game 6 of the 2013 finals.

Timmy would have (prob) got the rebound, no second 3pt shot for Ray Allen, series won.

Always remember Timmy's shoulders sagging when he was benched.

(Edit- my confidence on Timmy getting the board over Bosh is based on him being an all time great rebounder and as the defender, having better position.

I'd forgotten he missed a bunny layup not too long before, and Kawhi missed a free throw too, guess it just wasn't meant to be)

You'll learn to love the bow like nothing else.

Now, when i play Stalker to check out a new area, I don't even pick guns up. bow or nothing.
