This quote is from LeBron and came from a video, so I can't link it. League avg pace in 2026: 99.6 League avg pace in 1990: 98.3 That means today, players have to play an extra 2.5 possessions per game. That ain't ****.

Be thankful Murray can't shoot FT's and Denver was playing their G-League squad tonight

Cut Green right now

Currently shooting 2-21 from three. 10%. The starters are 0-12 from three right now.

Spencer Jones and Jaden Pickett as starters? The NBA regular season is brutal, almost unwatchable at times.

WTF is going on at Williams. Their in person event to show their livery has been cancelled and will now be a virtual event.

I wonder how many people in that fund even know what a leveraged ETF is.

This is the type of stuff I want to see from AI. Clawdbot bought me a car

They should get one of the G-League guys that went back to college this year.

I think Miami would be asking for a big return considering they are still in the playoff hunt. Being unrestricted this summer, teams will not be willing to give up a lot since they could easily lose him. To give up a lot for him, he would have to agree to an extension as part of the trade.

Sell all of your gold and put it in silver

Didn't know Stoatin Brae was so highly rated. It's about 25 minutes from our house. I think I paid around $140 which is way too much to make it a regular thing. With dynamic pricing, you can catch some of the other courses at the resort for $50-$60. I like the two Stonehedge courses. Bedford Valley would be considered the cheap course in the group, but it's still pretty nice.

Timely article from the WSJ. Behind a paywall so I will list them. Five Reasons Gold Prices Surged Above $5,000 an Ounce The debasement trade - Among the most bullish gold buyers are those worried about the strength of the U.S. dollar and other major currencies. They have snapped up the precious metal as a store of value that they hope will withstand economic shocks. Lower interest rates - The Fed’s rate cuts, which have slashed the yield on government bonds and cash, are also driving investors to gold. Central bank buying - Central banks, which were net sellers of gold for many years, flipped to net buyers in 2010 when they reassessed their risks following the financial crisis sparked by the American mortgage meltdown. Central banks picked up the pace of their gold purchases in 2022. That is when the West sanctioned Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. Central banks in countries that have strained relationships with the West, including China, have been shifting away from dollar-based assets into gold, which is beyond the reach of foreigners. Expensive stocks - Like gold prices, stock-market benchmarks have been hitting record highs. Their dizzying heights are making investors nervous. The most common way to value stocks is as a multiple of earnings. One popular measure, a cyclically adjusted version of the price-to-earnings ratios that rely on analyst forecasts of future profits, says that stocks have been more expensive only once during the past 100 years: right before the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. Momentum - Gold is a good bet to keep gaining, if for no other reason than gold rallies tend to be long-lasting. In five of the six years before 2025 that gold futures rose by at least 20%, they climbed again the following year. And in those five years, the average increase was more than 15%, according to Citi analysts. The pattern held in 2025, when gold followed 2024’s 27% increase with a 65% gain.

Hard to watch when they play garbage teams like Sacramento. Friday's game was much more entertaining. They play Denver and Phoenix this week. Joker should still be out for Denver and Booker is probably out for Phoenix. So that sucks. Golden State is the third team on the road trip and Butler is out for them.
