re: You have to move Zion this summer
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 3/28/26 at 10:28 am to ghost2most
I remember saying a couple years ago that I wouldn’t take Zion on my team if they were giving him away for free. I believed the drama surrounding him and his inability to stay healthy negatively impact teams. I did not like his drive or attitude. I never felt he was a winning player at all, and more than that I felt he actively hurts his own team.
Today I feel exactly the same. I wouldn’t want him on my team if he was given away for nothing.
If I feel this way, surely GMs around the league feel similarly.

I’m skeptical that this has anything to do with UFOs, but it is odd for sure.

re: Tipping requests are out of control
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 3/20/26 at 5:45 am to DonJuanDaMiles
I don’t understand what the big deal is. If people were expecting you to tip at more and more places, then yes, that would be out of hand.
But a little tip jar on a counter is just for if you’re feeling nice and want to throw a buck or some change in. Or if you get change back and would rather just toss it in the jar than carry a bunch of change in your pocket. Nobody is expecting you to tip with a tip jar. Everyone understands it’s just a little something extra if you choose to.
As someone who worked at a place with a tip jar when I was in high school, there might be $20 in the jar at the end of the shift on a good night. It was nice having an extra $40 or $50 in your pocket at the end of the week when working a minimum wage job. It was appreciated.
So I drop a dollar in a tip jar when I can.

re: March Madness courts,stuff, coloration on the floor all need a complete overhaul
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 3/19/26 at 12:06 pm to JamalMurry27
Was just thinking the same thing. I’d like some uniqueness to each court. It makes the games more memorable. Every court looking exactly the same makes it harder for the games to stick in my mind.
Like the Super Bowl logos. When they had unique logos, it was easier for each Super Bowl to be imprinted on my mind.

re: Liverpool's Slot Machine, Season 2: RIP Diogo! Mo Salah Farewell Tour
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 3/19/26 at 12:03 pm to rtiger
Slot had Salah playing like a second striker yesterday. It worked wonders. Salah was involved in every goal. Frimpong and Kerkez playing wide.
Salah can’t play wide anymore. But he was very effective playing closer in.
Slot may have found something here.

Definitely hyperbole. He was bumped, sure, as DFS started going for the ball and Herb didn’t see the pass yet and was still trying to bump DFS back and DFS bumped him when he started going after the ball.
It certainly could have been called a foul. We might have got away with one. But it wasn’t super egregious and the errant pass makes me feel less empathetic.
If the pass was on the mark and he got bumped and lost the ball and there was no whistle, I’d be like yeah we stole that one. But the way it played out, it just seems like a shite play. We had some contact, y’all had some errors. Just kind of makes me shrug tbh.
Regardless, this Rockets team isn’t good enough. I’m not sure they make it out of the first round.

Yes, I know. Herb was backing him down to seal him off. Then the pass was thrown and they both ran for the ball “Literally on top of him” is hyperbole. Herb was bumped from behind. Was it a foul? Under the letter of the law, probably. But that terrible pass surely led the refs to let it play out rather than bail them out.
You gotta be better than that to win a game in crunch time. Can’t rely on refs even if you were fouled.

There was some contact but it was still a poor play. If the pass was good and a bump caused him to get knocked over, they probably would have called it. But they probably hesitated to call anything that could be seen as a bailout of a broken play.
If it happened the other way I’d probably be annoyed too that nothing was called with the contact too, but I’d also know that’s how these things go late in games and you just gotta find a way to win and fight through it. I’d be more pissed at my team.

I disagree. The holding happened before the ball was passed. And he was trying to push him back to seal him off which took him in the opposite direction of the pass, which left him flat-footed with his momentum in the opposite direction when he went to go chase down the ball. I’m not confident he was gonna chase that down even with zero contact because of how he was trying to receive the pass.
It was physical and there was bumping, but honestly you gotta expect that on a final play of the game. Regardless of the contact, it was a terrible pass and that’s not a winning basketball play.
I used to complain more about the refs than I do now. I understand better how they call games and what they tend to allow and what they tend to let go, and the way I look at it now is that a team just has to make plays to win regardless of the refs. Complaining about refs is a waste of energy. Just make plays and win the game no matter what. That’s how watch games now.

He was grabbed a bit. But that’s not why the turnover happened. It was because he and Zion weren’t on the same page. He ran up and stopped and tried to seal his man to receive a pass in the high post but Zion thought he was gonna keep running.

Maybe he just tried to watch a game that wasn’t televised? I’m not sure. I checked the guide here a couple weeks ago and told him when the game would be on and he said he tried to watch but it was some other show that was on.
I’ll check in with him again at some point because I thought for sure he’d be able to watch them with DirecTV.
And I haven’t actually watched any spring training games this year. I just know I have in the past so I assumed they’ve been on.

Posted by PrimeTime Money on 3/2/26 at 1:46 pm
I’m in Texas, so I get the games, but I have a relative who recently got DirecTV Stream which includes Space City Sports Network, but said the spring training games haven’t been on while I’ve been able to watch them here in Texas.
It’s hard to find if they’re blacked out or not. Louisiana is supposed to be in-market, and he has SCSN and still hasn’t been able to watch. What gives?

This isn’t a young team on the upswing. This is supposed to be a win now team. An extrapolation of 46 wins based on a 15 game sample size puts the team in the play-in spot.
That is the definition of mediocrity and is the absolute worst position for an NBA team to be in. A treadmill of mediocrity means you’re not good enough to do anything serious and you’re not bad enough to get franchise-changing draft picks to build on for the future.
The franchise would be in much better shape if they blew it up completely and started over from scratch.

I care more about how people are doing in Indiana than Iran or Israel. We are running $2 trillion budget deficits right now. Sorry things aren't going great over there guys. I hope it works out for you all.
Also, why let Iran get a nuclear weapon when we can stop it? Years later, when Iran has the ability to launch nukes and hit the homeland, we’d be livid that our government did nothing to prevent it when they had the means and opportunity.
Just because we have negative feelings about past wars doesn’t mean all conflict is unnecessary and we should stay out of everything forever.

In short, Texas has a more positive business climate, while Louisiana is often viewed as hostile to business and industry.
It’s a night and day difference.
