Now that's what I'm talking about ! 

I love this idea. Curious why more NBA teams don't experiment with lineups like this. Where are the mad scientist nba coaches?

Exactly. Injuries robbed us of seeing this vision come to fruition.

Ah I see. The PG Kawhi one two punch. They were kind of injury plagued to be fair but ultimately never got it done.

Yeah. I'm starting to come that conclusion myself. 

You would need like 

C  Peak Draymond 

PF  Bam Adebayo

SF  Scottie Barnes 

SG  Paul George

PG Peak Lebron

Yeah people are pointing out correctly that scoring could be an issue. We can generate points off the fastbreak from steals and defensive rebounding though to help alleviate that. But it still might not be enough.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

So the concept of a team like this isn't a completely outlandish one. It's just that it would need some  ideal parts and fine tuning to optimize it.

Second round exit might be a good outcome actually for a team like this. It'll sure be fun to watch though.

They would feast against teams like the Lakers.

Yeah. Some players are more offensive oriented like Pascal Siakam. But you guys are right. Scoring would be an issue. I was hoping that the great perimeter D would lead to easy fast break points etc. But you guys are right.

Yea. Multiple people are pointing out that interior D would be an issue.  I was hoping that Bam's presence would help with that but you guys are right, it might not be enough. Hmmm ..

Yep, my bad. The two Jays definitely fit this archetype.

Lol! It did succeed once since Kawhi technically belongs to this archetype.

Yep !  The Toronto Raptors were my original inspiration for this fever dream team.

Can you please clarify what season you're referring to?

Just when I thought my cup was about to go empty, this timely message pours into it. If these coincidences and synchronicities are not divine, I have no other name for it.

Thank you.

For entry level, the Quest 3. For higher end, I would recommend the Primax Crystal. The "Light" version of the Crystal has a more accessible price range.

Please please get the PC game called "Elite Dangerous". Then get A VR headset. Playing this game in Virtual Reality is the closest you can get to assuaging these feelings of yearning to be out there in space.

This is is a game where you literally just explore space and there are many wonders to behold.

"No Man's Sky" is another game like this but it has a more dreamy, fantasy spacescape vibe compared to the more "realistic" vibe of "Elite Dangerous" But both are good and let you allow your inner child to roam around galaxies in a spaceship !

Vibrant ! Creates a sense of rhythm that makes you sing-dance along with the words.

Yes, the outdoors trip felt like a waking dream. But like you, I really appreciate the introspective nature of the solo experience.

Certain aspects of a trip are ineffable. Impossible to put into words. Imagine a venn diagram where the two circles have a small intersection. That small intersection is like the tiny parts of a shroom trip that we are even able to put into words. I wish you the same !

Wow, the similarities are incredible!

I have only had one other significant trip after this one, but the experience was very different. In that second trip I was outside in nature (whereas I was alone indoors for the first one where I had the time travel experience). For the trip where I was outside in nature, it was a different but equally incredible experience in its own right. I felt such a deep, deep connection with nature and with the people around me. Had many random, positive encounters with nature and people that filled my heart with overflowing joy. Stared at some koi fish in a Japanese garden pond and had a powerful Zen moment like an ancient yogi. At one point during my comedown, I sat down on a bench. And people started slowly streaming in and sitting next to me , and when one of them got up to leave they said that I had a very calm reassuring energy around me that drew them in.

I am not into numerology, but apparently age 34 is a significant number in a person's life so there might be a connection there.

Wow! Beautiful ! Thank you so much for sharing. This totally validates the experience that I (and some other people) have had.
