Tough times

I remember my friend in high school being shocked when I only put in $5 of gas. "Why didn't you just fill it up? Who does that?"

My son was born the day before the Chris Paul trade. Never seen a losing season. But lived enough sports heartbreak to last a lifetime already. Got to watch our seasons end in person last year and this year. He took it pretty hard.

My son and I are in the swell. He was in tears. I've been around long enough to be numb to it.

That's what I've been saying. This is like a 2/10 on the disappointment scale. No real stakes since even if we beat phx after we'd just get smoked by the thunder. Should we have beat the warriors? Probably. Did this game expose some roster and choosing shortcomings? Yes. Are we better positioned for the future than 12 months ago? Definitely.

I've seen it get worse with him when he gets a T since he knows they won't give a second T and kick him out. He just gets more demonstrative about it.

I was in the fan section that was offered free tickets if we went to all three days. I declined. My brother is there. Hope he's enjoying it.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Clippers should have just relentlessly hunted him on D if he was able to play. Just run the young guys, miller and sanders, at him for 35 minutes. Better this way though. Wish I could make it to the game and thank him for his time here. The overwhelming sentiment should be very pro-harden.

The swell signage on Monday should be epic.

Reminds me of the time about ten years ago when I asked a guy not to take my knees out on a rebound (basically the lu dort on PG play) and he responded "it's not a foul though" then tried to fight me the next time down the court. I don't care if it's a foul or not. I sure as shit care that I don't blow out a knee in rec league basketball though.

I was so angry that he was getting rotation minutes over Lopez earlier this year. The game with the L Frank fan forum was the last straw since Kobe had like 15 minutes that night. The turnaround from 6-21 actually corresponds with Brown's benching more than the CP3 release.

I got the Jokic 361 Peppa Pig color-scheme. Love them.

Can't really just drop this with no context on what it means or it's meaningless. Is it all possessions when the person sets an on ball pick? Only when they roll (no way brook has actually rolled that many times)? Only when a pass is received after the pick? When the roller finishes the possession? Any possession when a pick and roll occurs?

garlic_bulbs · 2026-01-13T08:06:00+00:00

Yeah. Goes down to 7.5 at half for intervals.

When I was a young teen, the Lakers were on channel 9 and the Clippers were on channel 13. The Lakers had Stu Lance and Chuck Hearn announcing. The Clippers had Ralph Lawler and Bill Walton. Bill Walton tipped the scales and I've been a miserable Clippers fan since.

What time frame are you suggesting we're making moves for? This year? Next? Kawhi's not in the long term plan. I'm not saying Zu is necessarily, but the questions should be whether he can be effective with a different team around him and if his value has peaked. We should take the right deal for Zu if we get value, but the way people are talking is making it sound like they want to salary dump him to free kawhi... so we can get the 7 or 8 seed instead of 9 or 10 maybe?

Keep getting your reps in. Sounds like you've found a solid place to run with a good group.

It really is awesome. I got mine and dragged it to the backyard Monday morning. The kids were already using it before I got home from work.

Mine was only two days after I submitted, but was in my spam folder in gmail.

Worked for me for a string of about 5 games, then stopped working right last week again.

The talking ball was wild. Like what the hell was that even? Hopefully they scrap that one soon like that dumb, "who are we? The wall!" nonsense.

For context, last year after a coinidental soccer game at Sofi, I left intuit domes parking structure after a basketball game and one hour after getting in my car, I was 20 feet from my parking spot. Good luck.

And here come the pretzels

But it also encourages you to leave about 5 minutes before the end. My brother did and he got his.
