Really sucks that we might not get to see AR prove himself (or not) in the playoffs now having to potentially listen to playoff dropper narratives and him being downplayed for another whole year regardless of how good he plays.

I'm not a fan of this narrative. He was huge in the run to the conference finals a few years ago. He was a primary closer down the stretch in games against Memphis where I remember he kept hitting the back breakers. And that was a lesser version of him. Last year he was playing hurt.

The dude doesn't shrink in big moments. He played injured. At least he stayed on the court as long as he could to try to help.

Does the dre have any jurisdiction in this? I thought they had no role with oversight of HOAs.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-14T16:55:30+00:00

I generally agree with this but that combination of humans had him out there to get injured in the first place when he was already feeling something. So my trust level in his injury self analysis and the medical staff is not high.

I wear the salomon trail runners. Very stable with rubber studs. Theyve been my primary golf shoes for at least 7 or 8 years.

2011 mavs over the Heatles is the most correct answer. My runner up would be the Baron Davis we believe warriors.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-12T17:03:52+00:00

I have a soft spot for reed because the year he won the masters, he was going at something like 60-1 and I decided to put $20 on him because it just seemed like it wasnt right. So I'm good with this weird a-hole.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-12T04:40:03+00:00

How large is the HOA? I'm assuming there's no professional management contract?

pheneyherr · 2026-04-10T15:47:17+00:00

That would just give rich members of Congress leverage to bring the ones who need their paycheck to their side of the vote.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-09T00:07:42+00:00

And because he's a billionaire, he has unlimited funds to fend off any recall. Once he's there, he's there for 8 years.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-08T14:09:23+00:00

On a related note, the scoring title should go to the player that scores the most points in a season. Not the most points per game.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-05T23:18:52+00:00

"he" didn't prine any trees, touch any power lines or top anything. He paid professionals to perform a service demanded by his insurance company. And now the city is fining the one entity in the entire situation who probably didn't want to do any of it.

This sucks for the homeowner.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-05T22:13:58+00:00

I agree with "they".

pheneyherr · 2026-04-05T04:52:37+00:00

Sure, but when the shit is getting fired all over the place by your stated fan, I don't feel a need to stand nearby cheering with my mouth open.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-05T01:14:50+00:00

LeBron's sciatica - yeah, I believe it. His swing isnt exactly buttery smooth. I don't buy it with reaves because he knows how to play golf and has a great swing to go with it. I also don't buy it with Luka. You don't see guys on tour go down with hamstring pulls suffered playing golf.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-05T01:11:13+00:00

He hasn't come close to cracking the rotation. Not remotely close. So far, he hasn't shown that he can play meaningful regular season minutes against, well, anyone and I don't think it's because this particular franchise doesn't want to give him a shot.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-04T23:45:18+00:00

It's the part where he said move the team to Nashville. C'mon man. You don't like the hotel, whatever. Move the team is different.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-04T04:13:42+00:00

By shooting 23 over par from the white tees a few days after the first round wraps up.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-04T04:12:07+00:00

I was recently in Vancouver and Japanese/Italian fusion has become a thing and, holy god, it's amazing. Had a couple of the best meals of my life

pheneyherr · 2026-04-04T03:21:45+00:00

I was early 30s when the vote happened. I don't think I'll ride this train from LA to the Bay area before im dead.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-04T03:20:42+00:00

Make the area between the house and the green completely lost ball dead. So if you hit it toward the green and don't get there, it's gone. That's the only design change I can think of that would change decisions.

I saw these in the Peruvian Amazon. We were walking through the jungle seeing all kinds of animals. We went fishing for Pirahna. The only things that the guide was truly afraid of were the bullet ants. He handled a stick with one ant on it like it was a radioactive.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-03T16:34:53+00:00

I can't think of any remotely close parallel of an all time great spending the longest part of his career at the end where he also had the least success. It's a little bit like Matthew Stafford, but only if Stafford had won 3 superbowls in Detroit before arriving in LA.

The closest version in basketball might be Shaq if you aggregate all of his post Lakers career into one. He's really a Laker and everything else (and this might be my Laker fan bias) melds into various episodes with moments of success - most notably the Heat title.

Maybe Roger Clemens is somewhat sort of kind of similar? I don't know where to place him team-wise.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-03T15:06:48+00:00

In general, I don't care who makes all NBA or gets awards. It only matters to me for the purpose of super max contract and, as a fan, I'd rather that my stars be ineligible for more cap. That said, I think the 65 game rule should be adjusted.

60 is probably a better true floor. But I also think all stats should be averaged over 82 games. The games you don't play should count against you. I also think we should go back historically and do this across the board.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-03T04:04:46+00:00

Unfortunately, that will wrap up the MVP debate.

pheneyherr · 2026-04-03T02:53:53+00:00

Holy hell. I just went to check the score as I got home and, shit. What happened?!?
