re: Is nicotine good for you?
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 2/9/26 at 3:47 pm to TigerReich
Nicotine suppresses appetite, and the increased heart rate burns more calories. Lots of women used to smoke to keep their figure. Hence, the whole Virginia Slims marketing.

re: NBA owners expected to vote on League Expansion to two more teams this summer

Vegas and Seattle will both be in the West. That means the East would have 2 fewer teams. So the Twolves and Us/Memphis would have to move to even it out.
Math, dude. You are forgetting to subtract the one team from the West that is moving to the East.

Not weird at all once you realize he's been healthy for a while now.
He wanted a trade but had no market, so now he has no choice but to play to try to build value.
Exactly. He was holding out to try to force a trade, but he's such a negative asset right now that we couldn't dump him without paying an unacceptable price. Holding out longer now would damage his reputation and future earnings.
He was probably healthy enough to play a month ago.

It already is. On twitter you have people absolutely melting when anyone suggests an even vaguely white actor for any role. One dude was even campaigning for "actors of color" for Szeth, the literally only overtly caucasian character.
Its going to be totally nuts when someone like Shallan is straight up white.
And on the flipside when Ham is cast as a black woman people are going to freak

re: Murray rejoins the team and practices

Maybe Murray plays SG off the bench but I doubt it.
Yes, I think that he will play a fair number of minutes with Fears also on the court (just like Fears and Jose played some minutes together), but the true Point Zion minutes will be limited. Zion can initiate the action even when we have a PG on the floor.

This definitely helps me forgive Dumars for the Jose trade.
With Dejounte coming back and taking up a big chunk of guard minutes, Jose was going to get forced out of the rotation
To put it bluntly, we have to play Dejounte to hope that he can rebuilt some trade value. We have to play Fears to develop him.
Jose is a better basketball player today than Jeremiah Fears, and it's always problematic to sit a superior talent to play weaker players. Trading Jose removes a possible source of locker-room discontent.

re: Loire Valley as a Day Trip From Paris
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 2/7/26 at 12:04 pm to geauxpurple
I mean, I think it's doable. But the Loire Valley was my favorite part of France, and I would say that three days would be the proper amount of time to see it. Chambord and Chenonceau are the essentials, but I really enjoyed the much older castle of Chinon (and the town).
Definitely try to spend the night in the region if you can.

re: Bey is now my favorite player

Bey is a starter on nearly every team in the association.
No. I don't believe this. He's borderline and can start in stretches. But he's too inconsistent to be an every game starter.
That was true at the beginning of the season, but there's nothing inconsistent about him now. He's gotten much better as the season has progressed, which makes sense for a 26-year-old man who hadn't played basketball in 18 months.

I'm truly sad about it. It's not just about the impact that Jose had on winning basketball games, though that was significant. Jose made watching a game in the SKC a fun experience, regardless of what else happened that night. It's just not going to be as fun anymore.

You definitely let your Lakers fandom sneak in now and then. Your pretense of being a Pelicans fan is ridiculous. You don't have better things to do than troll here?
re: We should get a good haul for Bey

The decision comes down to how much you believe in Fears and Queen.
If you really believe that they can be an elite foundation of a future contender, then we don't trade players such as Bey, but instead, we keep them and work toward building a better team around them.
But if you don't believe that, then we have to sacrifice some good players, then we need to sacrifice some talent now to get back into the first round next season.

He likes spending time his family, has enough and makes enough money, and doesn't need the stress.

re: Name The Three Most Beautiful Large Cities You’ve Visited & One You Were A Little Let Down
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 1/26/26 at 8:20 pm to LuckyTiger
I'll do a Latin America edition.
Most beautiful: Mexico City, Lima, Puebla
Let down: Santiago (Chile) - There's nothing wrong with Santiago, but the sights just aren't all that spectacular.

re: I really hope Poole’s DNP CD means a trade is imminent

If there is one player that we are absolutely not trading this season, it's Herb Jones.
