Bob did you see the part where China tried to slow down Gilead’s research by claiming they couldn’t find anyone in their country that has the virus bc they had down such a flawless job of containment? That got a good chuckle.

“I’m not happy to report that I’ve had a very mild dry cough the last few days.

I have no fever or other symptoms. It’s really more of a feeling that I have to cough than actually coughing a lot if you understand what I mean. The actual coughs are limited to just a few a day. The thing that scares me is that I have a friend in NJ that’s positive and he told me that exactly what he’s been experiencing, except he had a fever too.”

Brian Dennehy.

A good character actor. When I go to the pool down here in Boca I’m generally the youngest at 68 and I always feel like in in a scene from one of his movies Cocoon.

He was also terrific in Gorky Park.

Any reason nobody is arguing about Haliburton? Is it the name? Or just the funky shot? He was .419 from three on 5.5 per game. And since most everyone likes FTs, he was .822 from the line. He is built like a twig, but of all the problems that might get fixed over time, filling out is probably the easiest.

People are so married to the eye test that not only are white prospects only compared to other white players, but left handed prospects are only compared to other lefties. It’s so weird.

My mother’s favorite actor and fellow Chaminade alumnus. Got to see him do willy loman on Broadway when I was a senior studying Arthur miller. Guy was good.

It ranks the NBA at 3.26, D-League at 1.21, Pac-10 at 0.96, ACC at 0.76, SEC at 0.68, and Big 10 at 0.48.

French LNB Pro A is at 0.69. That’s somewhere towards the bottom end of those 4 conferences.

It’s literally in the middle of those 4 conferences… one of which doesn’t exist anymore. So of the currently existing NCAA conferences, it’s only behind the ACC

It’s not an obsession. I just think he’s the best PG in this piss-poor draft. He does point guard things like dribbling, passing and shooting with both hands. He averaged nearly a triple-double and got to the line and shot FTs reasonably well. He’s longer, taller and more athletic-looking to me…I’d want more data on that, but it seems pretty evident. He’s got a shot-selection problem for sure, but that is a matter of doing less, not more.

I can’t think of a single PG who literally couldn’t pass or dribble, much less shoot, with his off hand that became anything more than a journeyman bench player in the NBA. LaMelo is by far the lesser of the two evils in the top of the lottery.
