  2. I think Thomas Bryant is a little underappreciated by IU fans. The dude plays his tail off every minute his is on the floor. Did that at IU as well.

  4. Iโ€™m 100% with you on improving health. Especially on improving health to improve your immunity because it goes hand in hand. Iโ€™m as puzzled as you are to why this message is not being repeated as much as mask wearing, distancing, etc. It needs to be included in the conversation.

  6. Has the life expectancy of one entering a nursing home been discussed. I heard last week around 6 months. I've searched and found this study by San Francisco VA Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco in 2010. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2010/08/98172/social-support-key-nursing-home-length-stay-death#:~:text=The average age of participants,study died within six months. A few things stuck out. โ€œOne quarter of all deaths in the United States occur in nursing homes, and that figure is expected to rise to 40 percent by the year 2020,โ€ Note, "For the study, the authors analyzed data on 1,817 nursing home residents who died between 1992 and 2006." "The average age of participants when they moved to a nursing home was about 83. The average length of stay before death was 13.7 months, while the median was five months. Fifty-three percent of nursing home residents in the study died within six months."

  9. So these little guys are going to a new home today. We know the people so we will be able to visit them. Going to live in a man cave so there is that.

  10. At the current rate it will take about 150 more days to reach that .1%. We know the denominator, deaths, we dont the numerator, cases, and it will be years before we know how deadly this is. I'm more concerned about the 99+% of us who have to live life after all this is over. There are fates worse than death. Also, and nobody has the balls to come out and say it but Americans are fat. About 40% of us. So stop being fat and unhealthy. We need people to take care of themselves, not just because of this virus but also to reduce healthcare costs.

  11. I'm talking about teaching people about proper nutrition and eating healthy. I dont recall at any time hearing about this from the "experts". Its one thing to say be healthier and a whole other thing to teach people how to do it. It needs to be taught in school.

  12. espn write-up on Thomas Bryant, in the bubble -- 8. Thomas Bryant's bubble defense A big question for Washington's medium-term plans: Can Bryant be a starting center on a team with second-round ambitions? He should get there on offense. Bryant is a ferocious rim-runner who dunks like he wants to rip the basket down. He has a nice perimeter touch, and he's turning more long 2s into pick-and-pop 3s; eight of his 11 highest-volume 3-point games came in Orlando. He's a surprisingly nifty passer given his (somewhat deserved) reputation as a chucker. He picks out cutters and has nice handoff chemistry with Bradley Beal. It will come down to whether Bryant can defend the lane against good teams. His performance in Orlando was encouraging. He was nimbler corralling ball handlers on the pick-and-roll, more alert to where the offense might go next, and way, way more willing to make hard multiple efforts: https://media.video-cdn.espn.com/gifs/mp4/2gif_2Q_WAS_OKC_8_9_Bryant.mp4 Bryant challenged more shots at the rim in Orlando, and opponents hit only 53% of them with Bryant nearby -- a stingy mark, down from about 60% before, per NBA.com. Washington's defense still stunk, but that had less to do with Bryant. There is a lot (like, a lot) of work left. (The Wiz should probably sign a defensive-oriented veteran center just in case.) Bryant's footwork can go haywire when he changes angles in tight spaces; he almost looks as if he's going to trip over his own feet. He's unreliable on the glass, overeager chasing blocks. But Bryant just turned 23 and has logged only 2,700 NBA minutes. We are talking about the hardest part of any big man's job. Washington stole Bryant from the Lakers; the Wiz basically became L.A.'s Triple-A affiliate, only they can keep the players. They retained Bryant on a three-year, $25 million deal that has a chance to really pay off. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/zachlowe29627328/ten-nba-things-like-including-michael-porter-jr-zion-williamson-power-rising-east

  15. Interesting stat per espn - 3 players since the restart in the bubble are averaging 25 ppg while shooting 48% from the arc - PG, Kawhi, and TJ Warren. Warren has taken his game to another level. With the bad blood between him and Butler, that first round should be fun to watch. Another one, at least per espn (haven't cross-checked) -- Dame just joined Wilt as one of only 2 players in NBA history to score 3 60-point games in a season.

  25. One of my favorite Dire Straits song is Sultans of Swing (duh). I recently purchased the new 45rpm two album set from Analogue Productions and I've never heard this album sound so good. Then I saw that the Lost in Vegas guys did a reaction video for the song. I love how they slowly realize how incredible this song is. By the end, after the guitar solos, they are all in.
