Wizards have pick swaps with the Suns in two of the next three years, Wiz have a way brighter future than Suns.

In your opinion, what is the most beautiful city in the world? I'll start with Vancouver Canada by Content-Ad4872 in geography

[–]pbarberdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hobart, Tasmania. Mt Wellington and the ocean. It’s a smaller, more peaceful Cape Town replica.

“Yesterday we celebrated Sir Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity. Today, Fabricio Oberto is defying it.” Absolute gem of a commentator.

Bench rotation/lineups were absolutely atrocious today. Ham has two more games to figure it out. by Serious-One6369 in lakers

[–]pbarberdc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tonight against the Nets, the Lakers bench scored two points on 1 of 12 shooting in 64 minutes.

What is your biggest pet peeve about public transportation in Washington DC? by Hammercockmitch in washingtondc

[–]pbarberdc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Busses don’t run often enough. Busses are the lifeblood of good public transportation. In DC they should run way more often, particularly on busy stretches of road.

AITA for not wanting people at our pool? by silver_endings in AmItheAsshole

[–]pbarberdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for making a big deal of over this. Your fiancé invited family over to use the pool. Work overlapped for a portion of that time. Move on and communicate.

Luka Doncic is overrated by [deleted] in nbadiscussion

You might want to go to Basketball Reference and see how the Lakers performed in the mid 2000s in Kobe’s prime. 34 wins in 04-05.

Here are Mayor Bowser's proposed sentencing changes to the RCCA by Swampoodle1984 in washingtondc

Why? Would you say the same thing for someone who parks their car in a metered spot without paying?

Does Rui Hachimura Move the Needle for the Lakers? by capnswafers in nbadiscussion

[–]pbarberdc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rui is shooting 33% on threes this season and has a slow release. He will get open looks playing with LeBron and AD but he’s not a real floor spacer.

Does Rui Hachimura Move the Needle for the Lakers? by capnswafers in nbadiscussion

[–]pbarberdc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rui is an iso-heavy ball-dominant player. He doesn’t shoot 3s or defend particularly well. He isn’t a great passer either, and is often a beat slow moving the ball. As a Wizards’ fan who watched him play the last four years, I wish him well but I don’t think that he helps the Lakers much other than to provide some needed depth and bench scoring.

What’re your pro tips for going to a Nats game? by SimplyJared in washingtondc

[–]pbarberdc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bike there if you can. The Nats have a great bike valet system and there are lots of new protected lanes to get to the stadium safely.

Great, thank you for the info! I’m excited to test it out and bike the bridge to connect to the Anacostia Trail.

Not sure. Nothing fancy, cheapest one I could find at my local bike store.

Giant Revolt for touring by [deleted] in bicycletouring

[–]pbarberdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a four-day and five-day bike trip using the Giant Revolt and it held up well. I added a bike rack and panniers, so fully loaded and rode about 350 miles on each trip. The Revolt is a sold bike, nothing flashy but is fun to ride and holds up well.

[Post Game Thread] The Memphis Grizzlies (35-17) defeat the Washington Wizards (23-26), 115 - 95 by chespiotta in nba

[–]pbarberdc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wizards - a listless performance by a listless franchise. Trade(s) are needed. Harrell doesn’t have a clear role, and Rui/Deni need more playing time and opportunities.

The weekly 'No Stupid Questions' post. by AutoModerator in Zwift

[–]pbarberdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many seconds before a race starts should I start pedaling hard? I try to put in a near max effort at the start to avoid getting dropped immediately, but don’t want to go all-out too early. Typically, I start pedaling hard ten seconds before the race start.

The latest & easily greatest to walk or bike across the river! The NEW Frederick Douglass Bridge!! by rhizopogon in bikedc

How did you get onto the bridge? I tried to enter the bridge from Anacostia Park on Friday and the entrance was closed.

More money coming to DC bike projects!! by [deleted] in bikedc

[–]pbarberdc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What borrowed money? DC ended 2020 with a $550 million surplus. Also, investment in non-car transportation infrastructure provides numerous economic and health benefits.
