You got sand , salt water , and hottest women in this part of the Country so I guess it’s a beach


Actually thought the beaches there surprisingly nice.
The boardwalk was pretty trashy lol but the beach was nice (for the east coast).

A loss here for the Nuggets has to be considered a choke, they've completely outplayed the Thunder all game.

It depends what you find intimidating I suppose. I find the arena full of uniformly dressed dorks plenty unsettling personally.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

If the Nuggets are careful with the ball, it's going to be very difficult for the Thunder to score in the halfcourt as of now.

Coach D can't figure out how to get SGA open or what to play against the DEN double and zone.

Daignault's inexperience in the playoffs is showing a lot. OKC needs a PJ Tucker type because nobody has been beyond here before.

Or Giannis.


Not every NBA team can have this comfort to have P.J. Tucker on their roster though

Yeah, that was on Jokic. Not mad.
