Crap! Needed a reminder, sorry.

Do you guys still want one or should we just roll with last week’s?

Hmmm, would you do Smith for Nesmith or Langford?
I don't see how that better prepares them for the playoffs.

Gilbert cut his career short so no surprise but would not have guessed T-Mac

That's a solid accomplishment even if it speaks to his longevity

I think passing both guys is pretty surprising considering the scorers they were. But they weren't necessarily big 3pt shooters either, especially during that time in the league. I feel like TMac and Gilbert playing today would be averaging like 40, making 6-7 threes a game.

There are a lot of guys who would have had crazy stats if they played today. Think of Steve Nash playing right now; he'd have hit 2500 3s easily. Arenas would have been bombing them all game long; he was a pretty decent shooter from long range. It's pretty amazing that guys like Dan Majerle are remembered as 3-point assassins when his stats were quite pedestrian compared to most players today.

I thought he sounded a little sick in those postgame videos in Toronto but was hoping it was the mic/audio. Hopefully it's not the 'rona.

Didn't CP3 just have COVID during last playoffs? Surprising to get it twice ~ 6 months apart.

Must have had a questionable test come back. Perhaps he was exposed and because he recently had Covid, his immune system is taking care of it and keeping his viral load very low…hence a questionable test.

I believe I read something about the number of cycles it takes to get a positive result…if it’s more than like 35, you can still play and aren’t considered contagious. Maybe CP3 was just over 35 and they are holding him out as a precaution so he doesn’t get worse and spread to the rest of the team. Hopefully we don’t have an issue, it would be nice to avoid any further Covid outbreaks on the team.

I’ve now had several people that have had COVID twice within the last 4-6 months

I know people who are vaccinated who have had Covid twice. One spent a month in the hospital.

Past infection makes you more susceptible to omicron. Herd immunity is a lie at this point. The virus beats your immune system’s adaptive memory. It infects way faster than your body can prevent infection. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
I hope JJ makes a bug splash in the trade market.

But "natural immunity" makes you completely safe forever! Look at this link from totallytrustworthynews.pl.cn.ru ... :)

He means we will find a bug in the system and take advantage of a trade partner in an egregious way. Like Saric for Isaac straight up. As a former IT guy you should’ve known!
