Never used a dating app in my life. I have been married for 17 years and in that relationship for 20 years.

They shouldn’t be needed. People need to talk to each other.
Why do people always complain about money not being spent?

I check our salary cap situation decently to understand our moves. The Pels are consistently upper half of the league in salary. They are 12th right now.

I am not going to hate on money spent on the arena as I honestly think teams spending the money on the arenas are dumb. It just dramatically increases ticket cost and it really doesn’t enhance the actual basketball. I am going to see a game and not go to the club. Also it doesn’t matter when I am at home.

Someone needs to prove she is not actually spending money because I actually think her cheapness may be false.
I truly remember the upset Miami players more in that moment than Morris. LOL

It is Tiger Rant. The home of the delusional tiger fan.

At least LSU has won every now and then over the last 20 years; therefore, an expectation of a championship is not absolutely insane like a Dallas Cowboys fan.
Hire Rondo and have him get a long-time assistant to help him.

The Saints had one of the better rosters for a long time. It doesn’t make sense to draft players who can’t even make the team.

We need to look at the trade as CJ for Bey and Poole was to make the money work. Taking a 2nd year of Poole is worth getting Bey long term. Plus Pooles contract end this upcoming season. It is not we are stuck with him long term.


Why do people worry about NBA salaries? As long as they are not preventing moves it doesn’t matter. The trade/free agency rules benefit carrying a higher payroll that is right at the tax.

It really isn’t the fans’ money.

Bogues was good enough for the Monstars to want to steal his talent.

I don’t believe that to be true. I think it is still a status symbol. There is probably much easier ways to build more wealth with when you are in that billionaire class than pro sports.

I think it is all a status/social circle item at that point in the world of billionaires.

That's why we freaking have idiotic players like Jordan Poole on the team, because of win now trades. The team needs to be in rebuild mode.


The Pels got Bey and Peavy out of that trade. I don’t think the salary is really limiting with Poole. I am not 100% sure it should be classified as win now. The players we got back were in their mid 20s. With our roster construction Poole was never guaranteed to be long-term starter. He expires after next season.

Bey and Peavy will be considered to be longer term contributors to the team.

Every trade can not be viewed as monumental. They may have to be looked at moving the team in a slightly improved direction. We sent our McCollum and Olynk who were in their late stages of career.
They just started the new season so I assume that is why there is all the hate.

I ain’t going to lie. It got a little long at one point towards the end; however, it was a fine family experience. Definitely blows away a family experience with younger children at a normal baseball game. Kids would be bored by the second inning of a normal baseball game.
It is definitely not a TV watching thing. Being in person is fine.

Regular baseball is boring and definitely on tv.

But let’s be real… most of those wins came against teams actively trying to lose. When they face legit competition, they’re still struggling unless multiple key guys are out.


I just want to post this interesting stat.

Since December

If Herb Jones plays the Pels are 20-15. That is not looking at anyone else on the team. That is not discussing growth of the rookies, Bey, or Murray’s return.

Willie Green was fired November 15, 2025.

35 games is a large sample size over a long period of time dating back into last year soon after Willie Green’s exit.

That 20-15 rate would put them 5th in the East and 7th in the West. I would say there is considerable upside potential for improvement going into next season considering the growth of Fears, Queen, Missi, and Matkovic as developing depth. Then you have Murray’s return to the team.
Interesting Jordan gets a pass on everything and Bonds is completely shite on.
The Pels should lock him up long-term for sure.
There’s no reason to give up something to move Poole. They just need to send him to someone wanting cap relief and see if we can get some more role players/shooting.
The have won 11 games in their last 20 games. They won 10 games in their first 46 games.

I think firing Willie Green very early or before the season and then having Herb and Deonte healthy would have made this a totally different season.
What manpower is building all the massive space ships we see in Star Wars and Star Trek? Are we suddenly capable of construction and operation on that level with AI?
