I’m not watching but are the heat intentionally fouling?


They also missed a free throw on purpose with a minute left to try to get an extra possession.
This administration has strayed a long, long way from DOGE.
I'm surprised a ref didn't choke to death on the court from swallowing a whistle after SGA pushed off Braun.
The oil price probably fell on profit taking and, according to a reporter that talked to Trump this morning, it sounds like he's getting close to wrapping the operation up.

Besides none of the equipment being there you are probably right.


I figured making the decision now could give them enough time with Miami next.
Why not an April COTA race as a substitute for losing Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. It could work logistically.

Again, neither FIA nor Liberty really care at all about what fans, especially American fans, want to see


Liberty cares. Both they and the F1 Group are public companies traded on US stock exchanges and they've obviously made a push to increase F1's profile here.

The FIA, on the other hand, is a typical governing body.

The decision to increase the power output from electric motors was made in 2022 under the logic that it would align F1 with the future electrification of passenger cars. I'm sure there's some regret about that among Liberty and F1 Group management at this point.
The cars may be hybrid powered but the drivers are getting the EV battery level anxiety experience.

I do not like this new timing tower. It looks like they’re using overall interval from 1st place instead of the car in front of you.


No it's still just to the car ahead. With no DRS thousands of a second don't matter so no need to get precise about the intervals.
He dropped another great quote when asked whether Jayson Tatum will return from injury or not on the 14th:

“I don’t even know if I will be alive by then. I go to bed questionable… I wake up probable”



He's got so many of em:

"What if we all walked around with like five coins, right? And at any point in time, you can just hand one out, and you just challenge a guy to like, combat,” Mazzulla said at the time. “If you do pull a coin on a guy and he beats you up, like, that’s your fault. You've got to either train harder, or pick and choose your coins better.”

“People are gonna say the target is on our back, but I hope it’s right on our forehead in between our eyes. I hope I can see the red dot,”

“I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches?” — Mazzulla when asked of the significance of the 2024 NBA Finals featuring two black head coaches.

Al Horford said he couldn’t run a marathon because he can’t make it more than a mile. Mazzulla: “I would just go until I die.”

“There’s no fouls in a war. You either die or you don’t.”

"This is the fun part. You don't get into the journey for it to be easy. It’s been dark, but in a good way. You just gotta tap into your darkness. That’s it. You just gotta do it.” After going down 0-2 to the Knicks.

"Everybody wants to win until it’s really time to win. And then you have to nut up and do a lot of [expletive] that you don’t want to do.”
He was born in NZ and raised in Australia

Came to the US in his late teens, overstayed his visa and was recruited into the Marines during the Gulf War.

Says that he was promised automatic citizenship if honorably discharged and left the Marines thinking he was a citizen.

Lived in Florida, got a drivers license and voted in elections. Voting illegally made things worse for him with the courts.

Then 5 years ago (not sure) went to renew his license and was told he was not a citizen.

Turns out that he didn't enter duty in the Selective Reserve until 2 weeks after hostilities officially ended so didn't qualify for the program that granted citizenship for illegals serving during wartime.

Now he's lost his final federal court battle, has no citizenship anywhere because he lost that in Australia when he enlisted, and will be deported somewhere unless Trump helps him personally. He petitioned Biden but never heard back.

It's not a Trump immigration thing, he would have still probably been in the same boat under Biden.

Something similar happened in the NBA when Shaq played for the Heat.

He fouled out in OT against the Hawks due to the official scorer recording him with a 6th foul when he only had 5.

The Heat protested and Stern made the teams replay the final 52 seconds of OT a few months later when the Heat went to Atlanta. The weird part is that Shaq had been traded to the Suns by then so he missed the rematch, which the Hawks won again.

Staying up to watch NC State beat Pepperdine in double OT in the first round of 1983 after the Wolfpack had a crazy comeback to tie it in regulation.

I did a deep dive on this yesterday to see which WRs have gone in the first round with as little production as he had their final seasons and this was the list since 2000..and it’s ugly:

Ted Ginn Jr
Jonathan Baldwin
Darius Heyward Bey (what a terrible draft pick )
Jalen Reagor
AJ Green (was also bigger, faster, stronger than Tate and going up against elite CBs)

That’s it. That’s the list of WRs with less than Tate’s 875 yards
And they’re talking about this dude going top 10. Insanity.

AJ was suspended for the first 4 games for selling one of his jerseys while at the same time the UGA merch store was selling #8 jerseys just without Green on the back.
What's the endgame here. Doesn't look possible to kill all the leadership and if Larijani gains power, he negotiated the former nuclear deal Trump ripped up.

If there's any lesson from what's happened with Libya, Ukraine and Iran it's don't give up or slow down your nuclear program or give away your nuclear weapons. There's a reason North Korea hasn't been attacked.
