Things that annoy me (3 Viewers)

[Panzer ace]

Tough weekend for LA fans. The Lakers drop two and look like they are finished. The LA Kings blew two leads in Edmonton including a 4 OT game last night. Lost both games. Series tied. Could be the fourth year in a row that the Kings have lost to the Oilers in the first round. The Clippers lost on a Jimmy V. airball that turned into a game wining alley oop with 0 seconds on the clock.

On the plus side the Kings having that Korean senior harmonica group play the National Anthem has been a revelation.

Tip of the cap to the LA fans for joining in and creating one of the all-time great renditions of the Star Spangled Banner.

The Kings dropped the third game in a row after leading in every game. Looks like they are going down for the fourth consecutive year in the first round to the hate Oilers. They were completely outplayed at home in game 5. Pathetic. A major choke job. The Lakers are likely on the way out tonight.

Yup, their season is over.

Rescinding the Mark Williams trade was a big mistake. Luka was a great get, but not maximizing LeBron’s window by brining in a playable center was stupid.

How will Luka ever win a title if he always looks like he needs a MASH unit to keep him on the court during the playoffs. Lots of miles on his doughy body, as he’s been a pro since his early teens.

Reeves got exposed in this series. He is exploitable on defense, and forgot how to play offense. His regular season foul grifting didn’t work in the playoffs.

He'll be 27 next year, LeBron will be 41, Luka will have a body that looks like a 48 year olds.

Lebron ties Jordan with 3 first round playoff exits, he's been bounced in the first round three of the last four years, but he'll always have that bubble/COVID championship.

I hope Plaschke is ok, someone needs to do a welfare check on him.

And don't worry, the Celtics might beat Detroit or the Knicks, but they won't get past the Cadavers and even if they do, Oklahoma City, Denver/Houston/Golden State, Minnesota would roll them in the finals.

There are 4 legit teams in the West that could beat whoever comes out of the East.

The fact that Mississippi is finally going to execute Richard Jordan who was sentenced to death in 1976.

There is no reason why this should have taken 49 years.

His victim, Edwina Marter only lived 35 years before he killed her.

A homeless guy? What was he using, a butter knife?

You never cease to entertain me with your posts; "The Lunatic"................LOL!!.................

This made me smile and wonder why would a homeless guy have a 'butter' knife, all i can think of is some homeless guy, who does not have a place to live, but who has a full set of cutlery, butter knife, soup and dessert spoons, fish knife, tea spoon, bread knife, etc. Tthe image of it made me chuckle

Making a big deal about cutting government spending and then proposing to increase the defense budget to over $1 trillion. Wiping away any savings in a spending tsunami.

I would agree to a point. But Biden's administration let the military run down, too busy spending the money on woke crap.With 4 very dangerous enemies we have to be prepared.

Out of the top 40 countries spending on the military the US is top and spends more that the other 39 put together, so not exactly skint. Nearly double the 4 dangerous enemies you highlighted and one is actually at war, am assuming you mean Iran, N Korea, China and Russia. Altho with this administation you are running out of friends.

From your own defense department figures the amount spent by Bidan was a little, but not much, more than trump in his last presidency, plus Biden did not cut the money for veterans like this current administration is doing.

I believe the veterans benefits are not being cut. Also the American military develop much more advanced weapons than all others,which cost more.

No one can be serious about cutting spending and the debt unless the military, social security, and Medicare are in the mix. That makes up around 70% of the budget with another 10% in interest on the debt. If 80% of the budget is untouchable and even increases in spending, then the rest is just political theatre. Any cuts being made are for ideological purposes rather than a serious effort to reduce the debt. Everyone is in favor of cutting government spending until they have to give up something. Politicians can't figure out of that box because if they propose such cuts, then they lose elections. We are in a financial death spiral.
