He needs 31 and not juiced. It‘s the word I tell you!

Yes, but that would have been everything that you wanted.

I'm trying to create a scenario where some thought might be required.

Ok, 29 assists, and insert your own word.

I'm sorry "juiced" ruffles you the wrong way.

When am I going to be able to use the button bar again in Firefox?

30 is the record. I need 31 from a Jazz player before I am overly excited about it.

To solve your button bar issue:

I understand your reasoning.

I'm just explaining the free throw perfection, from my side. I was excited about the free throw perfection, because it was Gobert specifically.

Given his struggles at the line, I'm hoping to see signs of major improvement. So 7/7 is pretty good.

Had most other players gone 7/7, I kind of would have expected it from them. It's more normal for them.

I prefer a center who can shoot 8/7.

I never heard back. Now what?

I just found the solution. I have to click on the "Toggle BBC Code" button.

Snell made his first free throws of the season. He set the record for most minutes played before his first FTs, 471 minutes.



He also made history last year, going 32/32, best in NBA history without a miss. He played 1,641 minutes.

Covington is on my Nixon’s List:

 

[nuraman00]

Why is it called a Nixon list? And why is that bad?

 

[MHSL82]

Why is it called a Nixon list? And why is that bad?

Nixon made a list of his enemies. It’s so hard to remember them all that he had to write them all down. Who would be on your sports list?

Mine are:

- Mark Jackson
- Derek Fisher (Did not retire for daughter - he moved further away from his daughter’s treatment center.)
- Ron Seikaly
- Derek Harper
- Gregg Williams - Pay for injuries system excused by “everyone does it” excuse. Where’s your evidence besides the notebook outlining payments and lockerroom speech on how he‘ll pay for the one who injures Smith? Yeah, besides that.
- John Amaechi

Not on the list:

- Nowitski called Utah (or Salt Lake?) a “bad city.” Ehh, whatever.
- Michael Jordan - We had other opportunities, but he took two away.
- Tim Duncan - just because I see him as a center due to height doesn’t mean he deserves to be on the list.
- Kevin Garnett - just because I don’t like trash talk and 21 PPG players being treated like 30 ppg players doesn’t mean he deserves to be on the list.
- Deron Williams - Not as purposeful as some make it. Stubborn or ego, sure, but I don’t think he meant it.
- Aaron Rodgers - if he stayed in college one more year, they would use him to put down Alex Smith. But that doesn’t mean he deserves to be on the list.
- Kyle Williams - Yes, Smith didn’t play a good 4 quarters, only about a quarter went well, but without two muffed/fumbled punt returns, Smith would be in the Super Bowl. But he doesn’t deserve to be on the list. Everyone makes a few mistakes, including Smith.
- Harbaugh - HE does not deserve to be on the list but the bullshit “hot hand” excuse to play Kaepernick does. Smith led the league in passer rating, was in first place, etc. and just had completed 25 of 27 passes for 400 yards or so and 4 TDs in his most recent game and a quarter. Kaepernick just fumbled away a loss at the time he said that.
- Kaepernick: not his fault he was chosen so does not deserve to be on the list.

Kevin Garnett - just because I don’t like trash talk and 21 PPG players being treated like 30 ppg players doesn’t mean he deserves to be on the list.

Who treats him like a 30ppg player?

How come you focus on Duncan being a center, but not Garnett? Isn't Garnett a center too? He's the same height as Duncan.

- Ron Seikaly
- Derek Harper
- Gregg Williams - Pay for injuries system excused by “everyone does it” excuse. Where’s your evidence besides the notebook outlining payments and lockerroom speech on how he‘ll pay for the one who injures Smith? Yeah, besides that.
- John Amaechi

Why Seikaly, Harper, and Amaechi?

Did one of Williams' players injure Smith?

Thanks.

Mike Brown, Tom Thibodeau.

Danny Ferry for sucking as the Cavs GM.
