Just finished the game and loved every minute of it! Bravo and congratulations!

Jalen's 4th qtr turnovers hurt my soul. He's my guy, but... Man

What's crazy is how many games they've won when they consistently fall apart on offense in the 4th. So far they keep making other teams play a bit worse than they are, but if / when they solve this problem...

Tate is just awesome. Defense, rebounding, hustle, some handles, some passing, in the right place at the right time, few mistakes. A winner.

Totally opposite of Cavs at Rockets a few nights ago. Full out WWE

A few nights ago they utterly choked offensively vs the zone; last night they scored at will - 3pt, layup, 3pt, open dunk. Night and day

We are second seed without him and the Suns are a few games over 500 with him. Jalen, Alpi, Amen, Jabari, Tari, Cam, Reed.... ALL of these dudes are only going to get better!

Fourth qtr offensive collapse has become a standard feature of Rockets games... But if someone told me in Sep that we'd be 2nd in the west at this point, I wouldn't have believed them

The common villain origin story with these MAGA awakened billionaires: they were all mocked online when they tried to be cool. So they went anti-cool.

Currently #2 in the West, Rockets are ahead of schedule and there's no rush to shuffle pieces.

Teams with a short contending window like LAC or Suns do those expensive, short rentals of stars. 4th best record in the league, Rockets have zero panic right now and zero need to jettison high ceiling talent. Also Rockets are worst 3p% in the league and Butler is the answer? No disrespect to Jimmy

Well said. Rockets have lost 3 of their last 5 and are still 4th best record in the league. I'm not convinced that we have to move high ceiling pieces like Reed, Whitmore, Eason.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! πŸ§ͺπŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ

Number 3 on my countdown of my 2024 favourite photos. This image is only possible because I was using a 400mm f2.8 & due to countless hours of photographing great gray owls in low to get all the detail and no blurring of the wings. #greatgrayowl #greatgreyowl #owl #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Are you familiar with the book "Comeback" by M. Steven Fish? His advice to democrats is almost identical to yours; I found the book very inspiring

How best do I argue for redistibutive leftist economic policy if the current zeitgeist holds true that we all suffer under late stage capitalism AND we're objectively doing well?

If I'm honest with myself the resistance I feel is not to the facts themselves; I'm angered by the greed - based economic paradigm that has ruled since Regan and if it's true we're mostly better off lately, am I surrendering that philosophical battle to the libertarians?

I had multiple friends play all the way through and only at the end did I tell them that they were playing with other humans all along. Each one was flabbergasted and moved. Genius.

There may be a rose - colored glasses thing going on since I'm an older gamer. But if any elements seem familiar it's because everyone was influenced by it. It should be cheap and only 3-5 hours playthrough

Journey is one of the greatest games of all time IMO. It should be cheap because it's from 2012. For me, it's a must. It's the game I show to non - gamers who think they don't like video games, and then learn differently.

there is a certain wealth level beyond which you basically never hear the word no ever again. That's the cutoff point. Not hearing no breaks the human brain. We are not built to afford everything and value nothing
