It's snowing......fuck.....we gotta driver to Spokane.....


Well, we're taking her Durango......my Mercedes is staying in the carport.

It's 25k but usually 45-50k because of the summer and winter tourists. Glacier National Park is a huge draw.

Other major cities are Missoula, Bozeman, Helena, and Great Falls

I've heard of 3 or 4 cities. And someday I want to visit Glacier National Park.

So no more talk of how clutch Kyrie is? I guess he hit just another jumpshot in 2016

Can't speak for him, but you wont get it from me....never been a big believer in the so-called clutch gene.

I wanted Kyrie taking late shots because he's very good.

Cool.....f we're still here we'll have to do lunch or dinner.

So Wiggins doing nothing for 42 minutes and playing for 6 means he is why they won? Even worse is people who watched believe this.

did those watching take note of their clocks at the outset? Notice it ended probably 2.5 hours later? Was more to the game than the last 6 minutes.

Wiggins leads Wolves past Heat 116-109 with late 3 barrage

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Andrew Wiggins has been the face of unfulfilled potential for the Minnesota Timberwolves, beginning his sixth NBA season and starting the second year of his $147 million maximum contract.

The Timberwolves haven't come close to giving up on him, though, and Wiggins put on a late-game show in their home opener that provided another reminder of why they're counting on more progress.

Wiggins made four 3-pointers and scored 16 of his 25 points in the final six minutes, propelling the undefeated Timberwolves to a 116-109 victory over the Miami Heaton Sunday night.



Here, you can argue with the AP now if you choose to.

Good deal. But it'll probably still a few years before I can realistically get out there. I have list of National Parks I want to visit.

 

[dtgold88]

Not if the local news early gameday forecast is right. Sunny & in the mid 40's. I'm going to the game with my bro-n-law. I went to last years also.

for your sake hope ya get the weather you just reported.

Hate to say it, but lose this one and look foolish again and I think Freddie might be gone. Only thing that might save him is no one worthy of being the interim.

Okay.....we may be here.....she said she was open to moving if I didn't like the winters but that may have just been her sales pitch to me.

What's happening in CA?

PG&E doing power shutoffs around the bay area. My area has been affected. Power is supposed to come on today, but there have been reports that it could be as late as Thursday.

Did I say he did not play great down the stretch? If the AP tells me the other 48 minutes don't matter (or the 30 where he scored 1 more point that me) I'd be happy to have that conversation with them.

Sucks...hopefully if you are staying in home you don't really need heat or AC.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Any advice for somebody not used to it? Know you used to warmer climate having lived in Los Wages.

advice to drive in the snow?

my biggest advice would be try not to switch lanes unless you have to---- usually there are ruts in the road that you can drive in, but when you switch lanes you go out of those and it can make you spin out.

also, drive slower than normal but dont drive super slow because that creates its own problems.

Well considering he had 9 points through 3 quarters...I was looking at my fantasy score saying "there is no way I lose this week". Then the game ends and I look at the box score and Wiggins has fucking 25...I couldn't believe it. Miracles do happen...there is no question Wiggins won that game.

Actually Wiggins had 16 points in a span of 4 mins. Probably in the most crucial part of the game. 4 fucking minutes! Minny was down 3 and at the end of that run they were up 9.

Both Wiggy and dtgold know this, but it's an internet argument so they have to keep arguing to save face.

 

[DJ]

I'm getting freaked out by this snow.

 

[msgkings322]

Not one player will win you game in 99% of games but Wiggins won that game for him. Towns went something like 1 of 9 from the field in the 2nd and missed two big FT's down the stretch...not a good way to finish. It's only one game though, Wiggins is not a good player.

Isn't he only like 24 years old though? He could still become one

 

[Wamu]

I kinda questioned the hire from the start due his lack of head coaching experience. And I know there's HC's out that had no experience, but they ain't Freddie. He's made some questionable calls. Did you hear the latest? I ran across an article on brownswire.usatoday - Freddie Ktichen's explains why he ordered odd 4th down penalty. Instead of punting on 4th & 11 takes penatly, goes for it on 4th & 16. Mayfield got sacked. The only good thing outta that play was Mayfield didn't throw another pick.

16 points in the final 6 minutes? Nah you're not the reason your team won

Just wait until you figure how to do donuts in empty parking lots. It's fun.
