reaction from Wizards fans: at least Grunfeld realized our player development sucks
so Washington has two raw Czech prospects who have a high ceiling? tell us more about this Satoransky kid, the only thing I know is that he's a 6-7 point guard.
Pass first point guard, athletic slasher, needs to work on off the dribble jump shot, jump shot issue and stats may be influenced by strict role he played in his spanish team (no green light to shoot, faciliator role). Stagnated last season. Apparently got rid of czech accent in English a bit over last year. With Veselý they played in national team including the senior one, so the know each other well but it is not big story like they were on the same team, childhood friends or something, they are from different cities. Other than that I don't really know, another unorthodox type of player with his height hard to tell how he could fare. I keep my expectations low but of course will root for him.

I can't take my dogs out in the morning without pouring sweat. Around noon? Murder.
I have to wait until it's damn near dark outside before I go run because it's so crazy hot

I've lived in North WA, in the Pilbara region where you get weeks of about 113 F with about 70-80% humidity.
And I miss it like hell, much prefer hot weather to cold weather.

Gets to -40 here over the winter.
Ya, I gots your cold weather b*tch!!
P.S. Juddy should have come to the Bombers when he had the chance rather than wasting away on that rabble of a Blues team.
Judd would have been awesome coming off the bench behind Jobe, Stanton, Zar, Heppell, Nat Rat......
Have to be off the pine because he wouldn't be top 18

It was around 102 at GSP today. It was so hot I think I saw a fire hydrant chasing a dog.

It's not that bad. The humidity has been really decent lately, actually. The trick is just getting up early and staying out doors as much as possible. Once you get acclimated, it's pretty bearable. Sitting in the A/C all day is what kills you.

I didn't even bother going out to yard sales and flea markets this weekend. Just wasn't worth it, especially when my car has a barely functioning air conditioner.

Mowing the lawn at 10-11AM was torture. It was at least 100 with full sun. Also heard it went into the 110s in Columbia this weekend. So glad I wasn't there, although Charlotte was pretty damn close.
Wish I still lived up north.

Might not have been 110, but it was easily around 100 with solid humidity. It did rain today though so we got a bit of a reprieve

Such a shame, I watched some UCF games the past two years and really thought he'd be a solid NBA player. Looks like he's throwing it away

I don't have a handle on the Jordan boys. Is this the same fella that tweeted at the pornstar or was that one of the other ones?
