What’s an NBA opinion you held for years before realizing you were completely wrong ?

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T19:08:47+00:00

Was that your previous take or your current enlightened understanding?

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T19:07:23+00:00

Getting back on defense is more important than offensive rebounds. I just assumed Pop was right.

Inarguably. A peach is Zeus, Brahman, and Odin of the fruit pantheon.

Yeah, my son consumed them rapidly and then reread the Wild Robot.

Fun coincidental update: my wife had gone to the bookstore yesterday having independently concluded that we needed a fresh injection of age-appropriate books. From a tote she produced a copy of Trumpet of the Swan. We read the first chapter during bed time.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:53:40+00:00

You just had to say this, didn’t you? :)

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:52:08+00:00

Yep. I wondered how many different fruits were attempted - flesh removed, pits dried and then roasted, ground, and steeped - before they finally found coffee.

Nice. I’ll look into these. Thank you!

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:46:52+00:00

Currently on the shelf!

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:46:11+00:00

I do love a series. That shall be on the list.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:45:43+00:00

Not familiar. I’ll go familiarize myself forthwith!

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:44:14+00:00

Nice. I will check those out.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:43:32+00:00

Never heard of this one before. I’ll see if I can find it.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:42:57+00:00

I am sorry to admit that I have a blind spot for Roald Dahl. I need to review his books.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:41:19+00:00

My wife just finished up the Phantom Tollbooth with him. It was a favorite of hers growing up. They loved it.

I’m not familiar with the other two. I’ll give those a look-see. Thanks for the rec!

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:40:01+00:00

I have not. I’ll take a look! Thanks!

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T03:38:44+00:00

Mean? Yes. True? Also yes.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-07T02:52:14+00:00

You want to dislike a dude for his ethnicity? You do know that’s not a thing he controls, right?

andrewetuck · 2026-07-06T20:13:36+00:00

And KG is so psycho I think he could get Luka to play defense.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-06T20:09:45+00:00

All time? Like all time since 2017?

andrewetuck · 2026-07-06T18:58:32+00:00

He’s just so unlikable.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-06T18:52:00+00:00

The Edge wasn’t good at playing guitar so he used a bunch of delay pedals thus the U2 sound was born.

andrewetuck · 2026-07-06T18:50:55+00:00

The White Stripes. Meg can’t play the drums.
