**USA#1 RESIDENT & CANADIAN MODS ONLY LC THREAD * JULY BITCHES * USA#1 * FRENCH: DO NOT POST*** - Page 71

I mean I was pretty drunk and cheating is probably the wrong word but a game that's set up where strategic fouling is prevalent doesn't make any sense to me. What other sports do this? Nevermind the minimal impact of fouls eg change of possession and or free shot compared to say football.

100% agree, the last two minutes of a close and important basketball game is just complete aids. Fouling should never be +EV to the extent that it is strategised around.

Aidan,

If you could somehow make it so that only DT can post, I think we would all be better off. Just do what you can.

its like St Anthony's fire, or a riot of some sort. Everyone needs to get it out of their system then we'll be back to normal*. Or die of ergot poisoning.

*except for Saw, my professional opinion is that there is no cure for saw's affliction.

Make sure to plug in your highbar squat. Lowbar does not transfer to vertical leaping ability according to my sources.

That calculator seems super realistic. From 300 to 400 lbs adds 10 inches of vert. Only 8 inches if you add 10 lbs of weight though. lol ok.

Did the calculator say you even have a vertical?

What's going on man? we miss you. What do you mean you are moving, thought you just bought a pad?

You guys seem short and mad. Hey I made a short mad web calculator!

I need like a 24" vertical to dunk. My point was merely that I have little to nothing to prove. I doubt I am videoing a dunk, but anythings possible I guess.

Well I got 5 inches if I entered my real stats, so it can't be too wrong.

Got my phone stolen and didn't have internet for a week and been pretty busy moving into said pad and buying lots of cool stuff like sofas and chairs.

Website told me I have a 33" vertical. Sounds about right based on my box jumping abilities.

Souldude,

You are allowed to post along with DT. Perhaps you could make next month's LC thread?

BR,
that warms the gnarled, shriveled heart of an old. I think I'll leave honors to one of you youngsters, iirc I made the LC thread two months ago and the recovery process isn't completed as of yet. Given the last month's effort in the gym + kitchen I really shouldn't be allowed to post in H&F at all.

Right you are, it was three months ago. Time but flies by in this baller apartment, situated in the best spot of the retirement home with a view towards the women's tennis court.

I declare whoever follows me as LC OP to be not only unAmerican, but very likely to think that Hitler did nothing wrong. I can't abide such a poster or evil, but it is not my world to define, merely to live in a slightly above average and happy (some would say great) manner.

In other news I'm gonna watch the first episode of american horror story season 3 now. The first two seasons impressed my quite a bit, very solid horror. Season 2 > season 1.
