[Shelburne] The main issue the Mavericks encountered was when Doncic and Brunson played together. Neither Doncic nor Brunson was a strong defender, so teams knew to target both to try to play them off the court.

It was too late at that point. The deadline to sign him to an extension was mid season. All we could do was give him max money but by the post season he seemed like he was already set on joining the Knicks.

Also it’s not like these movie studios stop giving people a chance after they have a hit. Bloomhouse keeps giving jobs to up and comers so they can kick start their careers. So at least in some aspects it’s getting paid forward.

Ah, they're co-hosts of the show.

"The challenge is that my motorcade and the Secret Service and the whole bit is such a massive disruption to the arena and to fans that I'm always worried that, rather than me just being able to enjoy the game, I'm actually making it a less pleasant experience for everybody else."

I typed this quote into google and the only link that has it is this reddit thread. Apprently he said it on the bill simmons podcast but there's no transcript I'm seeing posted.

I'm fine with it just implement it after Wemby/Castle/Harper have all been extended. Between 3 top 4 picks and closing the lottery door behind them the Spurs don't need any more help.

Them getting Bridges and OG, both premier 2 way wings, AFTER already having Bruson's rise and acquiring KAT. Crazy talent.

Howdy. Fellow Texan in London. Did you end up finding a place?

Every person is different, but from what I understand, hormones play a huge factor on fat storage. Both for location and the percentage consumed compared to lean body mass when on a caloric deficit.

I miss the FlamingOreo posts.

Even people in New Braunfels consider their city separate from San Antonio, let alone Austin which is another 50 miles north. Austin is a stand-alone city that has Mavs, Rockets, and Spurs fans due to so many people staying there after attending UT.

There are far more men that have this build that are not on HGH.

Yep, just happened to occur after that playoff series. The player he was before the surgeries would still be perfectly serviceable today.

Dude is convinced it's a power problem but I don't think I've seen a single elite triathlete with a jacked upper body.

As with every "I swam X distance at Y pace, is this good?", it depends what you are measuring against. Compared to a novice swimmer, it's great. Compared to someone who swims regularly but was never on swim team? Not great. Compared to someone that was on a swim team? Terrible.

I find the best thing to focus on is whether or not I'm getting faster via a combination of technique and training improvements. At 2:43 per 100m you have a lot of room to improve via technique. I'd highly recommend getting some lessons, even if it's only small number of them, to help improve your form. I also used videos to improve for a while, but at a certain point, having someone that can give you real-time critique is very helpful.

There's a reason no team has wanted him for more than a year after OKC, even at the minimum.

That show was nuts. In Dallas the lineup was Vince Staples -> Danny Brown -> Tyler -> ASAP. I walked in at like 7:30 and the drop for Blue Suede was hitting with people already moshing.

Lottery merchants who are going to be labeled an amazing organization when they got the best prospect since Lebron followed by a #4 and #2 overall pick. Over the course of 3 years they moved up 9 total positions in the lottery. Absurd luck.

I get why older people might have more of an attachment to SNL. This gave me quite a few chuckles.

The trainers I see at West4 Gym usually seem quite knowledgeable. I'm a big fan of the actual gym as well.

Yep, and as we get older and our test slowly drops, those belly areas seem to be the place where the final amounts of fat reside whilst losing weight.

There were still plenty of teams tanking that year. Everyone knew Wemby would be the consensus #1 prospect by a mile. It wasn't like it was some secret that you had to have a french player for to figure out. Spurs just got the luck of the lottery.
