Haha yes, fair point in relation to that specific post - the general idea remains! Standing still at the deadline was the right thing to do.

Re: Suns News: Week 16 2/10-2/16

We’re 10-13 with DA and 12-20 without him, so it looks like he does make a difference. Those records illustrate my point. It doesn't make a significant difference whether we are a .434 team or a .375 team; in either situation, we aren't good. Ayton doesn't change the fact that we still have problem...

Re: Impeachment

True - which is why I try to hold myself to account for the TDS related feelings I get quite often. Just how real is it and how much is Twitter, Maddow etc feeding them.

I don't doubt Trump is bad for the country though, so she's not wrong to at least be making these points.

Re: Democratic primary watch

Once again. Thank you for your input. Yes, illness is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US. Not even fathomable in the UK. All good, the NHS / healthcare / data / broken capitalism all pretty prominent topics for me. One thing I've never understood about countries and companies is why they don't ju...

Re: Democratic primary watch

Over here it's first rate if you're insured - your choice of specialist, see them within a week, all covered by your company no questions asked and modern hospitals. And if you move companies preexisting conditions don't transfer over. But I'm not exactly comfortable with the private health insurers...

Re: Stormy Daniels

I've been guilty of being too gullible and taking people for face value - he struck me as someone with honesty and integrity, a firm believer in doing things right, and he certainly talked a good game .. only he was full of shit, like a good chunk of the population at large I've sadly come to realise.

I was so into Avenatti's style I thought he could be a shot for president .. how wrong I was (but hardly the...

Re: Suns News: Week 16 2/10-2/16

I'm a tragic optimist (trying to learn otherwise, in my defence) so take what I say with a pinch of salt: - The team could be competitive with more reps - the W-L stats with a full complement bear this out, and chemistry can't be overrated in its contribution to this. I've had a good feeling about t...

Re: Democratic primary watch

He is in favor of Medicare for all but also allowing private insurance. I think that is the smart way to go. That is a major sticking point for many, especially Republicans. The UK has public healthcare 100% covered for life and they also have private insurance for those who want it. Pete is coveri...

I watched Rachel Maddow’s show last night and she was sounding the already crumbling alarm bells and it was pretty scary.
Man she's been breaking the final straw on trump over and over again for 3 years now - I like her in doses but she is way too sensationalist for me to take her too seriously.

So here's the Oubre/Magic trade discussion, assuming this info is accurate. https://twitter.com/AZSportsZone/status/1227744834028331008?s=20 That's more than reasonable.

Re: Impeachment

Such a schizophrenic topic - like Brexit.

On one hand it's the end of the democracy, on the other there's no way USA could succumb to such a stupid a**hole like Trump when guys like Gavin Newsom are around.

Teammates standing around watching Young do stuff isn't my idea of good basketball nor a great player - he reminds me of Westbrook like that.

See how he pans out in this guard dominant age of course, but I'm happy with Ayton for now.

Re: NBA Trade Deadline Thread (Thursday Feb 6th 3pm EST)

We probably have to have a discussion soon about how bad Rubio has been. I think he's worn out completely and there's still the Olympics. It could be worse next year. His numbers are pretty much in line with his career numbers. He is what he is. Thank you. I really loathe that signing. I lean posit...

Bridges 2 for 9 with 7 points. Way to put the ball in the basket! At least he's a stud defender. I'd be prepared to say he'll never be even a decent shooter and he's a bust. Fair to say I was a little premature calling him a bust and he's actually shooting okay for a sophomore: .500% on FG's overal...

I like the censorship - just couldn't think how Denver ended up with one of our exes, which they didn't..
