I am thankful for the Rockets being watchable, the talent being generational, the process being trustworthy, and a drama free forum where I can come to talk about baskie ball.

It's a much more standard treatment now than it was five years ago and is now a pretty common treatment for tendonitis or sprains now. Curry had it done during the playoffs last year.

Austrian wine is better than German wine because the terroir is generally much more conducive to unique wines, if you like white try a Grüner Veltliner...goes great with green bean casserole

As a region Côte de Rhone is one of my favs. Not as good as Spain or Portugal in terms of value but you can really get some great stuff.

Ibaka turned to dust and Oladipo is playing well so it's hard to argue that the move was bad but I also kind of felt Ibaka provided some stability that the team just doesn't have now.

Production wise, they're having extremely similar seasons. Obviously they get there in totally different ways, but they have almost identical usage, ts%, ftr, ws/48, PER, and BPM. Ibaka is doing slightly better across the board except in BPM, probably because Orlando's defense is bad. I've only seen 2 Thunder games but I didn't see anything Oladipo was doing to distinguish himself from the totally mediocre guy he's always been. Ibaka, meanwhile, is learning that third banana was always where he belonged. I don't really want to defend the trade on Orlando's part, I think it was a lateral move at best and contributed to a major log jam in the front court, but it's just not the case that Oladipo is outplaying Ibaka - and he has the benefit of being on a much better (still not good) team.

I strongly prefer wines from warm, dry, sunny regions like Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Argentina to French/Oregon wines personally, which is great since the only warm weather region that gets its prices run up by fashionistas is Napa, so good wine is a lot cheaper for me than a lot of people. Côte I like as long as its heavy on the grenache, syrah doesn't do it for me as much.

Did anyone else listen to the last Lowe post and hear Zach talk about how he likes that there are no games on Thanksgiving because "he can have a glass of wine." Stein was then like "why cant you just have a drink" and Zach, as if he knew that we already all thought he was a psychopath said "I need to have a clear head to make sure I don't miss anything in the later games."

If the guy goes without wine for 3/4 of the year so he can focus on whether Thomas Robinson is getting better at rotating on d then he deserves double what ESPN is paying him.

Wow look at that hand

I wish NBA players would drink on the court because (amongst other reasons) the size of those bottles in the baseball mitt hands really lets you know those folks are working on a different scale of human hugeness.

Also that's an extremely expensive bottle of wine I wonder what it tastes like.

Oladipo has had some good games but also some really mediocre or bad ones which I guess is probably what he did in Orlando too but I didn't watch him there. It probably makes him a "if only he could be consistent" kind of guy that never becomes consistent.
