What's with NBA players and massive candy addictions? It's like they are living the dreams they had when they were 5 years old.

"Well when I'm all grown up I'm gonna eat candy for breakfast and lunch and for dinner! I'm gonna eat it whenever I want".

"Well when I'm rich I'm gonna eat whatever I want. If I want to eat candy all day then I'm gonna eat candy! And there is nothing you can do about it!"

Lamar Odom has a big issue with candy as well. I think his thing is gummi bears.

Its the sugar rush. Something a lot of athletes do at younger ages, well before the caffeine and Gatorade-age, is to eat candy as a form of keeping their energy up. Especially people from lower income families, because they can't afford the stuff the other kids eat/drink before and during games.

I used to have a bunch of my soccer teammates in highschool still have stuff like skittles and pixy sticks in their bags for games. Didn't see it in college so much, because the coaches forced us to drink gatorade with water, but it was still there. Just a habbit.

Lamb baked inside fillo dough mmmm.

best kind of lamb ive had was a jewish lamb house in long beach, ca.
they would marinate the lamb chops over night.
and then the next day, they would smoke it for about 6hours.
and the end result is the meat falls off the bone and the fat/skin is salty, moist and crunchy
and the meat just melts in your mouth.

WHAT? this sounds amazing. I've made pork wellington inside puff pastry before but nothing that decadent

 

[exarkun]

So is Trey Burke a top 10 pick? Dude has been liiiiighting it up this tournament.

 

[Black Mamba]

lamb is like the one meat i never cook. Lot of work and very easy to fuck up (except for chops).

Also, how do you go through life in the US, able to afford internet and video games, and never once have a steak? How is this even possible unless by choice?

Anyway, I prefer medium rare. Favorite cut is porterhouse, followed by rib eye.

As a kid I ate well done because that's how my parents made it. One taste of medium rare one day and that was the end of my well done days. I can eat medium if it happens, but past that and I won't touch it.

I can't wait til the day i visit Argentina. The steaks there are supposed to be amazing. (by this I mean the cows themselves are >>>>>)

 

[thekad]

Probably 14/7 on decent efficiency with fine defense.

So better than Jeremy Lin.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

My uncles hooking it up with some tri tip, ribs marinated a tad in orange juice and lemon, carne Asada, chorizo, ceviche and a whole bunch of other shit! Can't wait

Elenis in the Pearl serves this:

Braised leg of lamb in a roasted tomato and red pepper purée, baked inside filo dough with a blend of Greek cheeses; served with seasonal vegetables

 

[Red Blaster]

Probably 14/7 on decent efficiency with fine defense.

i think he can be as good as prime jameer his whole career, a lot of similarities between them but burke is a lot more skilled and adept at playing at different speeds

imma say 16/8 shooting in the mid-high 40s will be his peak

given his prowess is running the PNR and he's the best off-the-dribble guy in the NCAA his nba floor is a decent starter

 

[MiamiWesker]

LOL Lebron, Wade and Chalmers all out of tonight's game due to minor injuries. Revenge on the Spurs for what they did to us. Enjoy your crappy game San Antonio.

I'm sure Stern will fine the Heat just like he did San Antonio. He's so consistent and unbiased after all.

They're trying to get the top seed in the West. I think they'll be good with it.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Texas de brazil is so good. You will also find a bunch of places that serve some great churrascos.

... how is this revenge exactly?

 

[MiamiWesker]

... how is this revenge exactly?

Well it's more about the fans. Our fans got shafted out of a game with a the spurs stars and now their fans will experience the same thing.

 

[Dominican Power]

Or maybe LeBron and Wade need some rest.

 

[ph33nix]

At least they are coming instead of being sent home on southwest airlines

They're giving the Spurs a game on them for home court throughout the playoffs. Sick revenge, guys.

 

[ph33nix]

Are you stupid

 

[Cloudy]

How does that even happen with no contact?

wrong thread

 

[MiamiWesker]

Personally I do think what we are doing is petty but its pretty damn funny. ESPN is going to be pissed.

Pretty sure they'll be too busy showing the MLB Opening Night game to care much.

It's revenge on the Spurs fans, though. I highly doubt they paid that much money (especially the numerous ones sold on ebay/craiglist/etc) to not see Lebron and Wade.

fuck yo #teamcg clown

NBA TV you mean

 

[Nori Chan]

So what happened with Kevin Ware from Louisville? I'm reading about it all over on twitter.

suck it nerd

 

[MiamiWesker]

NBA TV you mean

Doh thought it was an espn game. Oh well then.

 

[The Frankman]

Considering they're fighting for homecourt throughout, I'm sure most of the Spurs fans won't care much. Have you seen their attendance? Almost Top 10 in the league.

 

[reilo]

Christ that was gruesome.

 

[thekad]

I just saw the end of the Lakers-Kings game... Wow. Nice to know the Lakers would have really lost 6 straight games were it not for the goodwill of the refs. Kings got robbed bad.

 

[ph33nix]

I am pretty sure they were looking forward to see stars that only come once a year. And now they won't have that. If you don't think they're the slightest disappointed you're crazy.

Especially since this game was crazy expensive. They aint paying that money to see homecourt advantage get won.

NBA TV needs the stars much more than ESPN. This is one of the few marquee games they get

 

[reilo]

I saw the pic, that was enough for a lifetime.

 

[rando14]

ok im done with ncaa for today, my god

I said most won't care that much. Again, fans have to deal with this scenario when your team/the opposing team clinches with alot of games to go. Happens in every single sport, and I'm not even going into the intentional tanking.

Did I say they won't give a flying fuck? No, but Spurs fans have always seemed like the intelligent, bigger picture type

Spoiler

Tanking for Duncan lol

. Not going to see the Heat at full strength? Darn. Chance to get Homecourt throughout? WOOHOO!

[Smokey]

Worst injury I've ever seen in the Louisville game... I'm surprised dude just didn't pass out

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

the meet of the gods (lamb)

and Lawrys Prime Rib

 

[exarkun]

The injury is fucking horrific. Wow.

The heat should be fined for this game if Bosh plays limited minutes. They are essentially doing the same thing that SA did to them, but the players are travelling. Both are younger than the SA big three. Resting James, Wade, and Chalmers with no fine is bullshit.

We truly don't care. It pisses off OKC fans more than it will to us seeing as it's basically a gimme.

Yeah, I'm sure the people who paid 4 times the official price on their 1 game all year believe that.

Some of you guys here think too much about the team's perspective and not what real people want to see and how much it costs.

Spurs fanatics on message boards are not everyday ticket purchasers..

Why don't you drop hundreds on a single ticket then come back to me.
