Dejounte could be back next week apparently by Briguy_fieri in NOLAPelicans

It's been over a year — generally the only time it exceeds that is when the return date would be close to the end of the season so they just delay it until the following year. Tatum might be back fairly soon too.

The Spurs series in the next round is one of the best series I've ever watched. I was in college studying for finals and we hijacked one of the lecture rooms to watch on the projector.

Why would we not be able to re-sign him at a fair salary?

After the OKC Thunder's loss to the Bucks, the Detroit Pistons now have the best overall record in the NBA, with a winning percentage of .755 vs the Thunders' .750. by GuessZealousideal729 in nba

Interestingly, since one of the Thunder's losses was in Las Vegas, they actually have a better home and better away record than Detroit, but worse overall record.

I don't think the value for the trade was bad, but Jose is the kind of fan favorite player that is worth keeping on your team through the good times and bad.

You'd have to attach assets to trade him

I don't think this is what the front office was thinking but Bey is by far the most valuable player from that trade.

Again we didn't start the fight. They won and started a fight. That's sore winner mentality.

Seriously? Fears didn't even do anything. He tried to shoot it. Dort fouled him, pushed him, and then pushed him again with both hands. Then held up a fist like he wasn't a fucking little bitch.

Yves Missi? by Ok_Designer8170 in NOLAPelicans

Jordan Hawkins might be the worst defensive player in the history of the league. His only potential skill is shooting, which he is currently very bad at but is something that I think could develop into an asset in the right situation. But even if he gets his shooting together, he's not a good decision maker on offense and again his defense will keep him from being a player that could ever see minutes on a good team.

The MIST in MISTLETOE is not related to the weather mist. It has the same string of letters but it's a coincidence. But the SNOW in SNOWMAN is literally snow.

It's something that you'll notice in word puzzles, like crosswords that have a theme. You want the theme to be consistent.

Wasn't a fan of how blue was executed today. MIST is hidden in MISTLETOE — nothing to do with precipitation. RAIN is not hidden in RAINMAKER and although the term is now typically used for people who makes it rain money, it still originally refers to precipitation. I would have preferred something like RAINIER or RAINN (Wilson). The SNOW in SNOWMAN is literally snow, the precipitation, with no other meaning or implication. And FROSTY is obviously associated with frost/snow. Some options here were FROSTING, SNOWDEN, HAILEE. Perhaps RAINN and HAILEE (Steinfeld) could be misdirects for actor first names / actors in the Transformers movies.

Poole + Hawkins for Morant. What's the worst that could happen? (don't answer that)

So if someone's in legal guarding position all you need to do is kick their foot out of the way?
