    Well, ya know.... I start to twitch if I go too long without kalua pork. And the joint down the street has bomb prime rib dinners every Thursday night!

    But it's when we have weather like we've had here, and I look at my Ring camera on the house and see it's bright and sunny.....

    Hold on, how does this work? So the Lakers beat the Nuggets, but they are both "trash" right ?

    The Heat beat us, split with the Raptors, and lost to the Bulls, Celts, Kings and Warriors.

    So the Heat must be great, the Raptors equal to them, and the other 4 teams must be super great! Or maybe it means the Blazers are trash?:confused: I get so confused!

    Or it means the Heat weren't as good as they appeared to be against us.

    San Antonio should be on that list too. If you look at Utah's roster on paper it doesn't look bad.

    No, they're good. Because they stomped us and we are the best. That's how we do it right?

    The Heat only beat us because Dame got hurt mid game without any chance to adjust. We were only down 9 when Dame went down. The way we had been playing this season, we likely would have won.

    Now now… I happen to know I can find a post somewhere that was written by someone we both know that says “Curry is Trash”.

    cant really argue with this one. If Dame doesn't get hurt, I give it 50/50 we pull that one out.

    We are the best...in the west and the second best overall. Will that sustain as the season goes on? We will see.

    They’re dog water. But, I didn’t think they’d go 0-82.

    We are at the top and that makes us the best for the time being. Again, will it stay that way? Who knows?
