Reminder: the inventor and CEO of Soylent literally thinks that going to the grocery store is a sensory-overload attack on the brain and that it can trigger PTSD. He also orders clothes direct from Chinese factories, wears them once, throws them away, and then orders a new set because he thinks washing clothes wastes too much water and his method of clothing himself is better for the environment.

not to defend Soylent or it's CEO. But Meal replacement drinks are actually a cool idea. Maybe just not that one though.

You see but the Soylent CEO's idea is that you literally intake nothing but Soylent and water, because eating is for primitive humans.

Im assuming you are talking about the 2004 pistons, an actually good team who were the #3 seed, and won a title.

Not the 2003 pistons, who were a garbage team for bad people and were the 1 seed and sucked.
Well then you mean the 2002-03 Pistons

They had the 5th best SRS in the league and also had Danny Manning and pepe Sanchez and Zlejko Rebraca and Cliff Robinson

Man those were the good old days when you needed a stockpile of random young and old, local and foreign, 7 footers. Just keep about 8 on your roster in case

First he has to score 40 points on Curry. Poor Roddy B, so much promise ruined by injuries that caused him to lose confidence. The Mavs were really close to bringing him back this season.

That's the best thing: they all think Soylent is some revolutionary thing but you can literally go up to a bunch of tech broheims and say "Tommy loving Lasorda was making commercials for this poo poo in 1983" and you're pretty much correct.

Mehmet Okur was the original unibrow.
Omer Asik has no hands.
Hedo Turkoglu played three positions and was good at two of them for...about a year.
