Hi, KFNINJ. It’s on Prime Video, and while I was checking things out for you I also saw that it is *not* a newly released thing—it’s from 2019. Doesn’t seem in any way dated, though. (Things get dated *very* quickly in the current environment!)

I’ve just over the past few days begun watching a Brit series called The Capture. I’m about three or four episodes in thus far, and lots of things lose me by this point, but this one is holding my attention. Anyone else familiar with it and/or have any opinions? I’m a little surprised that it hasn’t come up (or maybe it has, but I missed it).

If we somehow lose to Philly on opening night and LeBron has a good game, the takes the morning after will be as hot as the surface of the sun.

Thanks. His shoulder is still a time bomb, though, which is why I am not totally thrilled with the contract. It’s quite possible he misses a year in there. On the other hand, you really can’t do better at that price point – he is a solid player all-around. Just a bit vulnerable.

Shamet’s 3rd season is partially guaranteed for $1,581,241.

His last season, if Shamet uses the player option is guaranteed for only $1,690,282.

So there is built in protection if things go wrong. Though the guarantee dates are 6/30, so it won’t be cutting him mid-season. But if the shoulder proves trouble the next 2 years, we can cut and re-sign him for the minimum.

I can only speak for myself, but I know when I’m five pounds or more up, I have real knee problems when I run. When I’m five pounds or more down, well, less real knee problems. 275 is still going to grind things down no matter what, but perhaps at a slower pace than at 300, and perhaps he’ll be less often helplessly crippled, as he seemed to be last year.

rama felt that he was better on D than he showed, possibly due to protecting his shoulder

It’s really hard to lose twenty five pounds.

No it isn’t. Especially for a guy starting at close to 300 lbs. When I returned from visiting my son in Mississippi, I hit the scale at 208 on June 18th and was aghast.

Stopped all the processed foods (except yogurt) and the carbs and I’m 187 today. I’m attempting to get to my high school playing weight of 171 No exercise except walking 0.7 miles to play poker at Harrah’s Pompano Beach every day.

Losing weight is easy if you are somewhat motivated and eat whole foods containing anything that doesn’t directly break down into glucose.

It’s really hard to lose twenty five pounds. I don’t think Embiid is just getting into shape, I think he’s desperate to get his quickness back. But if it’s his knee that’s slowing him down, I agree with Z-man, it’s not going to help much.
