Spacebump posted:Easily Kibner, I sent him money on paypal for my all star game ticket before meeting him and got the ticket instead of just losing money to a stranger online.  I try to be responsible with other people's money.Spacebump and Nick were both cool goons that I got to meet this year and I am thankful for them.

We are losing lots of members this summer to graduation and moving for jobs, so it might be difficult to go again next year, but I'll do my best to try to gather new members and go again because we loved it. ---- Rick, validation on the Lakers drafting prowess: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/nba-draft-data-76ers-bryan-colangelo-win-shares-20170614.html Basically, they used win shares and expected win shares in respect to the position a player was picked to determine how much a team's drafted players over/under performed their pick slot.  quote:The Pelicans data is for the team's time in New Orleans, 2003-16.

I like that a $120k salary in the bay is equivalent to like a $60k salary in my area in terms of cost of living.

Noctone posted:Oh wow a suburb of Baton Rouge is significantly cheaper to live in than San Francisco, do you have any other hard-hitting news for us? I was just pointing out the absolutely huge differential. That there is a difference isn't shocking but a 300% difference is notable. And Baton Rouge is even cheaper to live in than Gonzales.

glowing-fish posted:Fox Sports has an article about things that could derail a Warriors Dynasty. #2 behind injury, is "all the good assistant coaches leave" The Pels' defense was noticeably worse after Mike Malone left. It would have been bad regardless because of personnel changes, but it was worse than it should have been.

I could see it if LA blows up and Utah fails to re-sign Gordon Hayward No. It would make them strong favorites to make it into the playoffs, though. e: that may change in like three years, but not next season

The way he appears to be building things, by the time the young guns are ready to help, IT and Horford will have already needed replacement. It seems more like he is trying to build a team for 2024.
