The median Louisiana household is currently paying 4.73% of their weekly income for a fill-up (represented by a 15-gallon tank of gas) at the current price of $3.90. For minimum-wage earners in Louisiana, it takes 20.16% of the weekly paycheck to pay for a tank of gas.

At some point people have to make the decision. A $12 marg or gas for the truck. Wont be both soon.

This is all I want. Make these guys get their cards the way everyone who isn't on then tour would.
All this to take a player that wont contribute to any wins this season. Still a great video though.

OKC now has a pretty easy road. Only need to beat one real team to make the Finals. (Den/ SA/ Min)
Zion has become one-dimensional. Everybody knows the move is coming left, and if that gets cut off, the offense dies.

4 players on the bench outscored the 5 starters 58-55. That says it all to me
I’m not sure what they can do to make the girls games better. 22-19 midway thru the 3rd quarter is some lower level high school type scoring

Maybe 4 on 4 would be better

Bazaar Meat at the Venetian and Bavette's at the Park MGM are outstanding

One night should be spent on Fremont imo and few restaurants are more classically Vegas than Oscar’s. Featured in a scene in Casino.

For a budget meal....Din ti Fung at Aria is reasonable compared to many restaurants on the strip. That being said, would still probably be $40 or 50 a person with drinks etc.
Arkansas has no chance. Their interior D stinks and that's right in Arizona's wheelhouse. All they want to do is get inside.

It was a strange change of philosophy in the Kansas game that did them in

All game long, KU defensive strategy was to make St John’s beat them with their shooting. But when it mattered the most, they seemed to completely abandon that strategy…guarding on the perimeter and leaving a wide open lane to drive 1-on-1 for the game-winning layup.

I’d much rather live with giving St John’s a jumper than allowing a layup. Honestly, I would have have the center camp in the paint from the start on that final play for some rim protection. If their guy hits a jumpshot to win because of that, you live with it

Check on the CarMax website. They did me a solid on an old beater. Best price I got and it was very easy to turn in.

Having the biggest display screen in a sports arena is awesome. Playing on that screen for games that matter is a different story. This is great for an all star game or some exhibition games where guys are going half speed.

When you need to make an explosive move, having give in the court is a detriment.

What a crazy tiebreak scenario for Korea to advance. They had to win by at least a five-run margin in regulation innings while allowing no more than two runs to secure a ticket to the quarterfinals. They did exactly that winning 7-2.

Scored a run in the top of the 9th to get to that margin after a bad throw on what would have been an inning ending (and ultimately tournament ending) DP ball that allowed runners to get to 1st and 3rd, Run scored on a sac fly to make the margin 5 runs.

Basically they’ve created a league where they’ll draft “players” from each “sport” onto teams. They’ll have a season long team competition and theyll end the season in New Orleans for the championship round
