Yup. Can’t be a Knick or Embiid or Simmons.

Right now it’s probably Butler out of the big names, mainly cuz they just beat us.

Lowry would have had a chance if his deliberate efforts to bait and injure Trae had succeeded.  Him getting injured saved him from some Hawks hate because mine was building.  Butler just played good, hard basketball.  Tip of the cap to that.

Fixed. He did some things with Hunter that were "not basketball" plays as well. I lost a lot of respect for Lowry after that series. I never thought I would be glad to see a player get hurt.

I wasn't really aware that Bob Rathbun was calling games for the TBT, til last night.

This is waaaay off topic but today is the day George Jetson was born. How many of those gadgets from that show are here now? My fave is 'The Snitcher-Picture taker' so basically a drone. What about the VisaBooth - that's like FaceTime and Zoom and the Hoverboards.

Omg my girlwife was telling me about this. that’s awesome  

Another off topic. I hadn’t seen this but Sarver said this?  

 

“He came to the gym and said that he is happy…. Actually happy,” Dragic said of an interaction with Sarver about missing the 2014 All-Star team. “So I asked him why are you so happy? He told me that it’s because he doesn’t have to pay me 1 million dollar bonus. And I was like, what kind of owner doesn’t want his own player to make the All-Star team. After that I said to myself .. I really don’t see myself being in this place any longer.”

That’s messed up. Why would you say that to your player?

Well, the thread is titled "ramblings."

You're fine.

But isn't the timing cool? Households vacuumed by Rosie, aka, Rumba, are already a thing... in 20 years, there really could be Rosie's doing more housework, dontchathink?

 

Oh. And. Before there was Jessica Rabbit, many of us grew up with a cartoon crush on Judy Jetson.

Maybe this is who Lloyd took lessons from whenever he would throw shade at Trae.

As long as we're rambling.... here's 1000 words for your enjoyment... hehe...

Windy doesn’t think that we are done making moves yet ?

He said it.

But he said it, not as-if he has some intel, but as-if "That's what I would do if I were them."

It's very typical.

People think, both nationally and locally, at a shallow level about the 2021-22 team.

But .621 is a real thing. As-is .653.

God willing that our health pendulum finally swings back the other way... that shallowness will be exposed.

Who's that other dude?  Could they be more negative.   Look if you get the best player to change teams in an offseason for picks then that's a winner.   Of course the real trade is Cam/Kev/1st for Murray.  But i'd still do that. 

I hope he's right about more moves though as long as it doesn't involve Collins.  I know we're excited about our new lineup but our bench is suspect right now.   Bogi is an injury question mark.  OO is a improvement question mark and Justin Holiday is an age and fit question mark.    Those guys should be 6-8.   After that the question marks are even bigger.

Fading player who honestly just wasn't on anyone's radar as a consequence of his on-court performances?

Or.

As a consequence of his off-court (political) performances?

[sturt]

Wow... it's like Cs are reading up on the guys ol sturt was pushing a year or so ago, and bringing them to camp... first (the other) Bruno, and now this...

Political and Lebron didn’t like him.

Worth a Twitter follow, if you're not already... hehehe....

Nah, he didn't like Lebron.  Lebron didn't know this guy existed despite his incessant nipping at James' heels.

He's outta the league because teams can find a serviceable player with his middling skillset who'll come without the baggage he brings.
