If the Celtics don’t make it it’s because nobody had the balls to step up and closeline Draymond Green as he goes in for a layup. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin McHale isn't walking through the door, unfortunately. He didn't even get kicked out of the game for that, he would be arrested and drawn and quartered on social media endlessly today.

mreaves Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 @powderfreakand all the other skiers in our NE group. I’m out in Dubuque, IA for a snowmobile conference. We had some free time this afternoon and went out to the Field of Dreams site. Not really my cup of tea. On the way back, as we were driving through a hilly (for Iowa) area, I spotted what looked like ski slopes in the distance. Everyone in the car thought I was crazy but sure enough we were soon at a place called Sundown. We pulled in to the lodge parking area, which was at the summit of the slopes, got out and started looking around. Pretty soon a guy came out and asked us if we needed anything. We told him we were there from VT and were surprised to see a ski area in Iowa. He invited us into the lodge for a beer with the summer maintenance crew and gave us the scoop on the area. He was the son of one of the founders. Sundown is celebrating its 50th anniversary next year and is still owned by the local families that built it. They have 77 acres and 475’ of vertical. The season usually lasts from Thanksgiving through mid-March. They have a junior ski program with 100 kids. It was great talking to him. He had us stick pins in the VT Mts that our group had skied. This was one of those small, unexpected things that make traveling to new places so fun. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The craziest thing to me is the people that think rain washes the car. It actually makes it dirtier with water spots , dried pollen etc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 F’N Celtics . I just am not as impressed with Tatum as a *“super star In the big moment* as others . Some shine brightest in the biggest moment and he seems rather good , but not a elite finisher. Doesn’t have that ice in his veins , could have put away the series tonite but couldn’t aggressively attack the rim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom of this photo just above the grass. She laid eggs all over the top of the mulch bed up top of hill. Then she went on the long journey back to the lake. Across the road. Then fell off 4 (!) different retaining walls. Went right over and in the video the thud noise is hilarious. Like dropping a rock onto a lawn. Got up after each fall and walked off the next wall. Amazing dinosaur looking creature. I saw a few laying eggs on the beach at our lake cabin in NJ this week when I was walking the dog. Someone saw a fox digging up the eggs last night.They must be a delicacy to a fox as he went crazy digging to get every egg. I was curious on the survival rate and found this on Google. Unfortunately, even under ideal circumstances, turtle nests don’t do very well. Only 5 percent of eggs laid survive to hatch; and of those only 1 percent may survive to reproductive age. So, take the snapping turtle for example. An average clutch size might be 30 eggs. So, out of three snapping turtle nests, maybe 5 eggs will hatch out baby snappers. Of those, maybe 1 or 2 will live to the age of 7 or 8 years, which is likely the minimum age for a female snapper to lay eggs. Those aren’t very good odds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Fortunately for the snappers, once breeding age/size is reached they essentially have no natural predators and can live 50 years or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 My parents have one that lays eggs in their mulch every summer. At some point in August they all start hatching and walking over the yard and crossing the road. They collect them up and bring them out into the woods to the swamp. They usually have over a dozen hatch every season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t have that ice in his veins , could have put away the series tonite but couldn’t aggressively attack the rim. I watched the game ... It seemed to me there were intangible dynamics going on... Maybe even ego-related. But, the Celtics relaxed ... just oh so little but enough on defense to allow Golden State to steal that win. And it was a steal on their part - though they'll be the last to think so, no doubt! They were trailing for most of that game - then something happened in the 4th Q that I feel is pretty connectable to 'maturity' as basket ballers. The Celtics seemed to get into a 3 pt shooting contest with Poole and Curry. They fell for it. They fell for the old "oh yeah - we can shoot too" game. They should have stuck to what they were doing, which was solid perimeter D with Williams and their size shutting down the interior. That should work against this adversary. They may be able to match them at some point or another in a shoot out - but they didn't need to, and getting into that mode last night (crucially) in a 3 or 4 minute window approaching mid way through the 4th, put GS in control. Idiots. It was a bad offensive decision to engage with GS, at GS's game. GS leans offense on their opponents at at all times, such that moment the D lays off they've already scored something like a 8-2 run. Boom. The Celtics relaxed just enough, GS leaned, the CS tried to do it back and couldn't hit their shots. Again...they didn't need to do that. Tatum wasn't terrible. I don't know about the 'whole stardom' aspect. Frankly, I think Brown's been better as of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they turn the ball over 15 times, they lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
