Yeah - this is what I’ve been saying, he had to play as a primary scorer, and look how he did. OG is absolutely right there, it’s just that he plays a role on the a raptors. When asked to play as a primary option scorer, he has killed it OG also currently 2nd overall in steals per game, just ahead of Kawhi ...

EJ already with 29 with about 11 left in 4th, Rockets all over Dallas mans Cousins looking healthy 26 and 17

Deliverance is always good, that whole pig scene, ugh

Can they both lose?

OG with 21 on 8-12 in beat down of the Heat - he was big in the 4th

It’s really cool how all of this relates to cars and trucks 😁

Cody returns to play tomorrow night

Was looking at some NBA stats over lunch, here are some pretty crazy ones at this point - Jokic Leads the League in assists/game at 10. Crazy, 6'11 Center w/10 apg?? and Doncic is at 9.5 - Sabonis leads the League in mpg at 37.8 - workhorse - PG and Luke Kennard, teammates both are shooting over 50% on treys - Myles Turner leads the League by a wide margin at 4.2 blocks/game (12 games) - Andre Drummond is averaging 15 rebounds/game

Japan, China and Asia in general have been moving ahead of the game in solar. The worlds largest floating solar plants, and India is getting into it now. China and Japan are 1 and 2 in overall installed solar capacity, and now you're getting floating solar linked to hydroelectric plants. Since the 2015 Paris Agreement solar farm building has surged worldwide, and Germany at times has met 50% of its daily energy useage through solar. The technology, PV and CSP, has been around but think it's pretty clear now it, along with other clean, renewable energy, is taking off.

Lakers and LBJ/Unibrow are the 100lb gorilla in the room. Also think the champ will come out of the West and at this point really can't say whether I think the Clips will be good enough to unseat the Lakers, who got better over the offseason, but if they stay healthy I think they can. Kawhi is no longer missing back to backs, he's fully healthy again, the full team is playing regularly, they also got better (imo) despite losing Harrell, and PG is clearly on a mission after falling apart and being ridiculed last season, he's playing at least now, at the top of his game.

I think the Clips will present a bigger challenge this season in the West. They're coming together and Lue has set up their offense better. Gotta throw in my PG love (lol) - last night 17, 12 assists, 7 boards, 2 blocks, another highly efficient game, leads the team in FG% at 51.4%, and he's shooting 50.5% from the arc (on 109 shots). Clips are, imo, turning into a very good team. Ibaka and Batum's solid veteran play and Kennard's and Reggie Jackson's offense makes them deeper than they were, and they are playing in sync and with chemistry

Saw that 0-12 the other day didn't know about his groin pull, ouch.

I so miss the Davis brothers (not real brothers of course that’s just how we referred to them). They were seriously imposing.

Harden is not LeBron. Like I said I could be wrong, but Harden and Kyrie are ball dominant dudes and Kyrie is a head case. Then there’s Kyrie’s awful experience in Boston, not to mention his bizarre behavior so far this year. But for sure the talent is unquestionable, so we’ll see.

Vic picking right up with the Rockets, 13-23 for 32 points, 9 assists, 5 boards (did have 7 TO's). Kind of cool to see him playing with EJ -- Gordon back, went 9-17 for 21. Two all time IU greats on the floor together. Rockets are missing a piece, but not far off from being a pretty good squad given time.

Agree, but CP3 and Kyrie are 2 very different players. Will be interesting for sure

I’m really interested to see if this Harden - Kyrie - KD experiment works or flops. I thought the Harden - Westbrook experiment would fail, there’s only 1 basketball. I think this experiment will fail too because I don’t see how Kyrie and Harden’s games can mesh well. Ball dominant, and KD is as well. But I do think, like tonight, that Harden and KD are dangerous, and I kind of think the 3 will do well early on, on the energy, but I think it goes South. But I could be wrong, interested to watch it play out

Vic thanks Pacers fans following his trade to the Rockets. Wouldn't be so quick to bash Vic, there's also a link to the underlying contract talks and the Pacers taking advantage of his hot start. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2021/01/17/pacers-news-victor-oladipo-thanks-pacers-fans-he-moves/4199991001/?utm_source=indystar-Indiana Pacers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=baseline&utm_term=hero

Oh yeah, relatively all of the sudden, I started having trouble reading very small print, like a medicine label or fine print directions. CVS reading glasses do the trick ...

I seem to attract weird car issues out of left field. So my Jeep (4 inch lifted unlimited sport), which is basically what I think of as a real car/vehicle — stock, like an engine and dials not a computer with wheels), started doing what my shop called the “death whobble.” Turns out this is a thing. You can Google jeep death whobble. The steering wheel starts to shake like crazy and you have to quickly slow down sometimes to almost a complete stop for it to go away. Keeping it simple, usually it’s loose suspension components / track bar). Take it to the shop, some parts replaced, drive away and bam, death whobble jumps up a few miles down the road. Take it back, they put it back up and can’t find anything wrong — except my front tires (Nito Trail Grapplers 35 inch), are seriously worn. A couple new tires later, the death whobble is gone, it was just the tires, lol

Jaylen Brown is to BGleas as Paul George is to HoosierHoopster 😁😁

OG currently leading Raps against Charlotte 7-12 for 18 and 5 boards

Damn that sucks hope whatever it is, is benign / not too serious

It’s like as an institution IU overcompensated, from all O and little D, CTC, to all D and little O CAM. Lol, I’m exaggerating... but maybe not much. It’s really how we underemphasize the arc and how the shooting is imbalanced right now. Having AF return and immediately take 15 shots for 14 points while guys like Hunter and Leal, both coming on strong coming into the game, get taken mostly out of the offense (Hunter had only 3 shots until late - and that despite that he was 2-3 from deep) really limits our O and once again the team struggled to score. What I see is not players failing to execute but a limited offensive game plan focusing heavily on pushing the ball inside to TJD and not balancing 3-point shooting. Meanwhile PU lights us up from the arc

I have no idea. They called me and told me it would be $660 a session. So I got the prescription to find my own rehab. Crazy. Wobbly thing haha
