    Lakers sure could have used Mark Williams tonight. No answer for Rudy.

    Plane passenger strips and defecates on the seat during the flight.

    Back in my day people had a thing called respect. Sure, we still got naked and pooped on airplane seats, but it damn sure wasn't our seat, unless we used a toilet seat cover.

    If the NBA Draft Lottery is rigged, where will we land?

    Repayment for giving Luka to LA. Or maybe granting them the move to Vegas will be enough.

    If the NBA Draft Lottery is rigged, where will we land?

    New tv deal and pressure to get high ratings. It is a business, not a sport. If the Jazz get the #1 pick, I'll change my tune. When Dallas gets it, we'll all know why.

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Yep, and the ocean current moves it north up near Coronado. It smells like **** at those beaches quite often. So much corruption in Tijuana. Many new homes sewage is connected to storm drains so even if they fix the sewer treatment plants the problems will continue.

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    If we are conditioning tariffs on Mexico, we should make them clean up their Tijuana sewage mess. Most of it goes into the river up to San Diego making the water toxic to swim in and the air to breathe. Biden gave them millions to fix it and it all disappeared with none being used to fix their...

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    Make any team not over the cap for more than one day in the prior season eligible for the lottery. If you are in the luxury tax you lose your draft pick which would be added in as a lottery pick for all other eligible teams. Will incentivize teams to make smart contracts, and cause the...

    Trades for/out of #1

    Jazz are not getting #1. Watch one of the low odd teams that could net the highest ratings (Spurs, Miami, or more likely Dallas as a thank you for putting Luka in LA). League #s are down and they want as high as ratings going into the new tv deals. Would not be surprised in the least.

    As you wish. This is the classic version I heard as a kid: There once was a man from Nantucket, Who kept all his dreams in a bucket. But then came a dame, He'd heard not her name, Who smiled and said, “Sir, let’s up-chuck it.” She danced in the night with a wink, With moves that would make...

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    Exum has shown he can play when he is not broken, which sadly is most of the time. He has looked good with Dallas. Cody has not shown anything close to what Exum did when healthy. The only hope is Jalen Williams spent more time in college and also had a very slow start in the NBA so we can...

    The NBA’s Great Illusion-By TGS The ball goes up, the crowd goes wild, A game so pure—or just beguiled? Superstars shine, their moves so slick, But somehow fouls and lottery balls are oddly picked. A phantom whistle, a late-game call, Momentum shifts—was that a stall? A storybook ending, a...

    Agreed. Hope the Jazz figure out a way to lose out the rest of the way.
