Hope we don't give up a road game to Greenland so a player can play in front of friends and family

We shouldn't be travelling there since they disrespected our vice president.

[Scoop Snoop]

No reason to disparage Greenland or the Samoan Islands. 

True. I'll stick with disparaging you.

It will take the University of Greenland (Go Kalaallits!) a few years to transition to D1 so we'll probably play in the Ilisimatusarfik Kalaallit Nunaat Invitational in Nuuk during the transition period.

Beats playing Dayton

Or St. Thomas

Or St. Thomas

I should clarify, losing to St. Thomas and Dayton

[Billy Hoyle]

To be fair, he's been pretty good in Dallas.  A finals appearance and a conference finals appearance in 4 seasons, and they were a playoff team until they traded Luka this year.

Is that good enough for the Knicks to want to poach him? Not sure, but he's been a much better coach than he was for the Bucks

Permission denied. Meanwhile, the Bucks have been giving the Knicks permission to interview Doc even though they didn't ask.

Why doesn't any team want to talk to Billy Donovan???

Funny enough, I was at a Gem and Jewellery show this past weekend and speaking to a colleague.  She's been involved in the mineral business for a decade or so, both in tracing/certification, as well as an NGO focusing on uplifting women in that industry.  She completed a masters in some sort of geopolitical focus in that field beyond the hard geological science.  She's Belgian, but her father's side of the family is Danish and she speaks fluent Danish.  So as a combination of that, and the relatively young and growing ruby mining business due to ruby deposits found in Greenland about 15 years ago, she spent a few months on an exchange program at the University of Greenland.  She said it was a fascinating experience but its easier, less stressful, and less complicated to travel and function in less developed and chaotic African countries where her work has taken her...than Greenland.

See the recent Rolling Stone article on Greenland.  There are no roads connecting anything and boat and air are the only options and don't run all the time.

When my wife and I were looking to visit Iceland a few years ago I found a day trip to Greenland and thought that would be awesome. Now it's going to become the next Iceland for Americans.

[MU82]

Will be awesome when Greenland is our 52nd state, on the shores of the American Sea.

The East American Ocean, as opposed to the West American Ocean and North American Ocean.

What if we attach the 2031 1st

OKC gets away with a lot of perimeter fouls.

Fouls adding up for Indy. 

[MuggsyB]

If Jalen Williams plays reasonably well, OKC has too much imo. 

[Billy Hoyle]

Benedict Mathurin with the Jean Felix game

[MuggsyB]

That should have been an and 1 on the Toppin flush.  And the Myles Turner moving screen was silly.  Both teams have dome this every possession. 

[MuggsyB]

Haliburton has to shoot that. 

[MuggsyB]

Clear foul on the Haliburton shot. Not even close. 

[MuggsyB]

I'm surprised Indy won this one.  The G4 winner wins this series?

[Billy Hoyle]

49 bench points for Indy, 27 by Mathurin on 9/12 shooting. Hali with 22/11/9. 7 missed free thrown for OKC.
