@FlyByKnite Is Russell Westbrook on this list?

Jalen Suggs is shooting 25% on 52 3PA in this first-round series. If this holds, he’d have the 5th instance in history of a player attempting at least that many 3s and shooting that poorly (or worse) on them in a single series.

@FlyByKnite Houston offense is tough to watch

It’s quite clear that the Lakers only respect like three of these Houston players on the offensive end. One of them is someone Ime Udoka won’t trust enough. There’s just no off-the-dribble or shot-making threat outside of them. Lakers can play in shrink every possession.

Game 6 against the Boston Celtics in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals (June 7, 2012. IMO career defining game. He’s probably had better games, but that one stands above all to me.

@HAbdullah39 @DICKS It’s all about fun, not about the score at this age for the kids. Let them have fun.

We gettin beat so bad, the refs stopped reffin. I may have to go to @DICKS and get a refund for all that gear I bought 🥲

@cooltaj @anishmoonka It’s all about convenience still more convenient to just go pump your gas and go instead of finding an electric station and waiting or charging at home

@anishmoonka Or you could get a Tesla and never have to wait in those insane lines. Charge at home. You won’t buy a phone and go somewhere to fuel it these days? Why would you do that with car

Your Costco membership costs $65. Fill up once a week, save about 25 cents a gallon on a 15-gallon tank, and you pocket $195 a year in gas savings. The membership pays for itself by April. Costco barely breaks even on every gallon it pumps. The $65 fee is the actual product they're selling you. Gas stations sit at 747 of Costco's 914 warehouses. Last year, fuel accounted for about $27 billion, or around 10% of the company's total sales of $270 billion. But a Wall Street analyst at Mizuho put it bluntly: Costco earns "penny profits" per gallon. They move 8 billion gallons a year, enough to fill about 12,000 Olympic swimming pools, and the fuel itself barely moves the needle on their bottom line. The money comes from membership fees. Fees make up just 2% of what Costco collects, but they generate 73% of the company's gross profit (the cash left over after paying for everything they sell). 90% of US members renew each year. 147 million people worldwide carry the card. Cheap gas makes the membership feel worth it, and the membership fee funds almost the entire business. That math explains why Costco is now opening a gas station with no warehouse attached. The location is in Mission Viejo, California, on the lot where a Bed Bath and Beyond used to sit. Forty pumps, 17,000 square feet, members only, opening late June. Costco's chief financial officer said on the company's most recent quarterly earnings report that about half of all members who gas up at Costco also walk into the warehouse and buy something. A standalone station kills that shopping trip entirely. Walking away from billions in in-store spending looks crazy at first glance. But gas prices are running $3.98 a gallon nationally right now, up 27% from last year because of the Iran war. The gap between Costco and the Chevron down the street can hit 20 to 30 cents per gallon at those prices. A standalone Costco pump in a busy suburb is the cheapest billboard the company has ever built. Every driver who sees those lower prices has a reason to get a membership. Every member who fills up has a reason to keep renewing at $65 next year. The station doesn't need to sell groceries. It needs to protect the fee that funds 73% of Costco's profit. A second standalone is already under construction in Honolulu, set to open in 2027. If both work, Costco can start pushing into crowded cities where a full-sized warehouse (about three football fields of floor space) would never fit, but a gas canopy on a dead retail lot will. Costco figured out how to charge you $65 for the privilege of buying cheaper gas, then use that $65 to fund three-quarters of their profit. The standalone station is the same play, just without the warehouse in between.

@nakedcoconut @anishmoonka It’s more easier and convenient just to go to the gas station pump and go. At the end of the day it’s all about convenience. Can I get my gas and go and not have to worry about finding a electric station or charging overnight? It’s all about convenience at the end of the day.

@anishmoonka Bro, if people could do basic math we would ALL be driving EVs already

@mikegolicjr Damn, this sucks. Father son goals. Hopefully you find something.

So, today was my last day at Fanduel Sports Network! Unfortunately things didn’t go the way we all planned, but that’s life. Thank you to everyone on our show staff who worked their asses off every day and made the last 10 months a ton of fun. On to the next one!

@bballbreakdown Strategically it’s the right place but entertainment wise I hate it.

I don't think the Pistons even considered fouling, which is crazy to me, but the saving grace is that Mobley is a bad 3 point shooter so one could argue: let him shoot it contested

@warriors Hell of a career big cultural guy when he came there, but they’re just retiring anyone’s number these days

19 seasons. 4x NBA Champion. No. 9, forever in the rafters.

@Ryan_POD Sometimes it’s better to let a player go while he has something left in a tank instead of getting the downside of his career.

think we’ve seen the last of Alex Anzalone in Detroit.

@cmccosky @JohnNiyo He’s gone at the end of the year. Scott Boris doesn’t sign extensions. He wants his players hitting the free agency market.

Tarik Skubal: "The business for '26 is done. As a competitor, you can't let any of that impact you. I want to win as badly as anybody...The guys in this clubhouse, the additions we've had, I've never been more motivated as a player to try and win a championship here."

@jjones9 What’s your feeling ? How are you leaning towards

Man I cannot wait for this game let’s go

@GregJennings Super Bowl 31 .Denver Broncos vs. Green Bay Packers. January 25, 1998 John Elway helicopter run.

What was the first Super Bowl you ever watched? And what's one thing you still remember about the game (Not including who won & lost)?

@facts_onlyBBB DB was all time great. He was legit top 5 ish QB IN HIS ERA WHEN HE PLAYED for a long stretch. STAFFAORD WAS NEVER TOP 5 QB ( until this past 2 years ). Not arguing against Stafford. To meet up until last night I think this his case get high consideration.

@nashz84 @JimCosta_ So you are against Drew Brees getting in last night?

Full list of QB who've won MVP + SB in the last 40 years. All will be Hall of Famers -Brady -Manning -Mahomes -Rodgers -Warner -Favre -Young -Montana -Elway And.... Matthew Stafford

@Marcus_Mosher I still come back to this to see the full voting results.

If you want to get WAY too into the weeds on who did and didn't vote for Bill Belichick for the HOF, here you go Enjoy: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@facts_onlyBBB @JimCosta_ IMO Those numbers are different because it was done when it was running league &ball control. You play long enough you will get the stats. I just want the Hall of Fame to be hard to get in and only for elite players

@nashz84 @JimCosta_ You got “numbers only” guys like Warren Moon and Dan Fouts already in. Kurt Warner and Steve Young both in based off two MVPs each and one Super Bowl each. Stafford is essentially a blend of those two groups. Great counting numbers and a peak with a Super Bowl and MVP. He’s in.

@facts_onlyBBB @JimCosta_ He’s not a lock it’s hard to get into the Hall of Fame. I do think him winning the MVP made his case stronger. He came into the league in the passing era boom his numbers are just gonna be crazy.

@JimCosta_ People trying to argue that a dude with an MVP, Super Bowl win, tied for 3rd most playoff comeback victories and likely to finish his career 5th in passing yards and 6th in passings TDs is NOT a Hall of Famer? Insane lol

@bykevinclark This was awesome by Emmitt. I love that the Hall of Fame players have high standards for greatness. @SandoNFL Hall of Fame players want the standard to be high.

I talked to Emmitt Smith on This Is Football and he had a scorcher. I brought up "elite quarterbacks"--Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. He said ONLY Mahomes of those is elite. Not Allen, Lamar or Burrow. "Hell no they are not elite." He explains:

@FirstTake @Realrclark25 People love to throw greatest of all times and first ballot. Stafford come on in the beginning of the passing era. His numbers are going to be crazy. He’s not a lock this MVP definitely helps his case.

"It solidifies him as a first ballot Hall of Famer. It puts him in the top 10 of quarterbacks that's ever played this game." —@Realrclark25 on Matthew Stafford winning NFL MVP

@jchenelly @VisionNFL I hate the unwritten rules of punishing a candidate select the top candidates and that’s it.

@VisionNFL @nashz84 @AdamSchefter Their transgressions didn’t give them a competitive advantage.
