Ellington and Howard stinkin'-it-up.

 

[Retroram52]

No rhyme or reason as to his logic in the substitutions and rotations.

Did you work all through the COVID pandemic @Retroram52? No need to say what you do, we have exchanged PM's. Just curious.

I did in MT. Never got any extra UE benefits like so many did.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I did for nearly two years. I too got no UE bennies. Right now I am on suspension for not wearing a mask and a short-term disability due to a dog that bit me and mauled my left hand.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ellington and Monk are key offseason pickups.....guys who can stroke it from 3-land when on.

They need to play well when given the opportunity.

 

[Retroram52]

We are down by 4. Nobody playing D and lots of dudes missing shots.

Daaaaaaamn.

You taking any painkillers for that bite or just Ibuprofen?

 

[Retroram52]

Monk has his nights but Ellington just flat-out misses alot.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sometimes I wish we had relocated to Las Vegas or Phoenix but liking Nashville just over a month into this.

No pain killers. Just ice and gutting it out until the open wounds and gashes closed. Arizona has some dumbass law that medical peeps can't stitch a dog bite closed. So they stuffed the wounds with micro gauze. Well that was stupid. Gaping holes need some kind of closing. I took the gauze out, cleaned the wounds, and then taped my fingers together and left the bite holes open to the air, It took three weeks but the wounds mended and the holes closed and the swelling dissipated. Now my index and middle finger are still somewhat puffy and I still can't make a fist.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, Nashville is cool. At least ya get the four seasons unlike Phoenix. WE have two: Hot and cool in the winter.

 

[Retroram52]

Only guy consistently making shots and playing some D is THT. Everybody else has there hands up their asses. We are down by five.

The cold mornings have surprised me when I take out our vicious attack dog for her morning walk....

 

[Retroram52]

Frikin Vogel keeps calling timeouts and I am not sure what the hell for at this point.

 

[Retroram52]

Oh crap, Bazemore is in. Dude is a complete waste of a roster spot.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk finally nails a three.

 

[Retroram52]

WTH? Rondo hits another deep three!

 

[Retroram52]

Bradley is in for Monk and Monk just came in the ballgame. Anthony still hasn't got his shooting rhythm back.

 

[Retroram52]

Bucks are up by three.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is now five.
