I'm convinced TJ's business model is to cater to single people.

It’s evolved over time. My parents were already regular TJ’s shoppers when I was a kid, so going back like 40 years. As I recall, it was viewed as more of a “health food” store back then. The main things my parents used to go there for were vitamin supplements, low sugar breakfast cereals and fruit juices and certain cheeses they could get at the regular supermarket.

Once places like Whole Foods came on line, TJ’s pivoted away from the health angle to more on being good for convenience foods and certain other specialty items.

Who is commentating tonight with Stan? Cause he said "Lee-oh-nel Messi"

Also Porzingis? Was that another calf strain? Whats with all these calf strains? Dame, Jamal, now Porzingis?

If I buy these, I have to eat one immediately when I got home from because my wife has been known to go through a whole box herself in a 24-hour period

This take from a few days ago nailed it for me



He's an elite athlete on the court who plays both ends at a high level and is confident, brash while backing it up most of the time

He's everything that the MJ loving crowd and a lot of American fans have been dreaming/wishing for during this recent period of dominance by international players, a young American star fully capable and willing to be a face of the league.

The willing part is key because someone like Tatum has been balling for years but he doesn't have the makeup/personality to fully embrace being that sort of top billed guy imo with all the pressure it brings. Ant hasn't shown to shy away from that role yet.

Facts. he don’t pull up to the stadium wearing a dress and giant hat calling it fashion

Bubble wrap Kristaps until the ECF. Hopefully it's not too serious.

Didn’t look good for porzingis

 

[picasso swerve]

TNT crew look like they dont give a damn about this game.

It’s a 48-hour suspension. The rules don’t go out the window because your team lost/won and someone said something you didn’t like.

Warnings shouldn’t be treated like “fouls to give.”


The Suns’ outlook is obviously rough, but this is overstated. They’ll still have a first round selection in the even-numbered years through 2030.

All of the first round picks involved in the Beal trade were swaps - not dealt away outright.

At worst, they’ll have the Wizards’ picks in those years. How bad could those possibly be?

I thought they didn't have any Firsts... I could be reading this wrong though I suppose

NBC came to play this time around. The current TV deal is a combined $2.7 billion/year between ESPN and TNT. NBC is offering $2.5 billion alone, and ESPN/ABC $2.6 billion to keep the Finals. Combined with Amazon, the league is going to be making $65 billion over ten years. TNT is gonna be the odd man out because there's no way they can match.

Man EYE don't want NBC gatekeeping games on garbage *** Peacock.

 

[earldagoat]

omg i’m going there tomorrow please be in stock

Snag these if they're out

 

[SORIANOTRON]

what was Jordan and others like Shaq etc doing at 22?

Kobe had 2 chips and averaged 29PPG during that playoff run when he was 22

I think they'll be simulcast.

Does this mean we get the old NBA on NBC theme again? But then again…I don’t want what happens in the next quote.

NBC still uses it for the Olympics, so yes.

 

[danger style]

It's funny when meth actually tries to socialize

Only a matter of time before they broadcast games exclusively to Peacock if the deal happens.

Like the NFL with that playoff game this year.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's not Ant's fault people are stupid but he'll suffer for their idiocy. Again though- if you aren't getting slandered you probably aren't elite

 

[earldagoat]

Costco + TJs gets me pretty much everything I need.

Definitely hard to not want to buy a million different snacks when in TJs tho.

Costco Fruit Sorbets

I know Jimmy ain't playing but I still expected CULTURE to keep Miami competitive

 

[picasso swerve]

Love Antman,but folks getting beside themselves w/ the goofiness

Granted he had Shaq but he was the man when he got his first chip. I aint having any D-Wade slander.
















That being said, if the Wolves win this year we can 1000% come back to this.

 

[T0INE]

Love Antman,but folks getting beside themselves w/ the goofiness

Like EYE side before these gonna be the same people slandering Ant if/when the Wolves get bounced.

People can never just enjoy anything in real time, always gotta make these absurd declarations off rip.

You also have to consider your average NBA fan compared to people who watch the NFL. I had to give my dad my Peacock log-in to watch the NFL game. He literally has no desire to watch an NBA game under any circumstances.
