My story.

They don't rebound at all. Game after game they get killed on the boards. No excuse for what Ben Simmons has done or how he's acted, but they miss him terribly on the glass and in transition. Embiid is/has been overrated, he specifically was booed last night which I was sort of glad to see/hear. And, this team has 2 gears. Far too often they play at 25% speed and the lack of effort is blatantly obvious. They woke up last night only after getting booed repeatedly off the court after falling behind by 23 points to a team missing their best player. (Jimmy Butler) The team is a mess right now. And I realize that my comments regarding Embiid aren't going to be popular because the whole world loves the guy. Regardless, he's no MVP. Not even close.

Spring has sprung! LOL (per my post above, it feels very spring-like today)

So...it's sunny and 66 degrees here now. @Bubbler86

Oops, I Lett that slip.

Made a slight amendment to your overall correct sentiment.

3rd down pass incomplete, but the defense was offside?

Steelers defense = about a 95% chance the opponent converts that.

My wife, bless her heart, SHE brought up to ME the fact that a year ago we had a big snowstorm. Man, did I feel embarrassed having her reminding me about a significant weather event...

Very windy here in south Philly. Why is it always windy down here? I think we do wind well, we ain't got nothing on Philly.

We are! 8-4 State!

Much like it "seems" to take longer to warm up in the spring recently, the step down in December seems to have been muted in recent years. December 1983, or at least Christmas time, was brutally cold around here. I remember leaving work at 5pm on Christmas Eve and it was already right around zero.

Yeah, to be clear, I think LNS's departure is somewhere around +6 or so as of yesterday. Tomorrow and Friday look to be close to a +15 which will spike the monthly number.

On the positive side, we remember very well what happened in January 2016...

Where's Canderson? I see that LNS is, or will be running a +8 to +10 departure for the month by the end of the week. #candersondelayedbutneverdenied

Bragger! You're killing me, lol

Agree with you on all accounts.

Yeah, unfortunate timing with that.

I think that's a fair analogy. I was thinking about this and the whole "punt winter" idea on the drive to the office this morning. Winter is young (even by met standards, we're only 2 weeks deep) so there is so much ahead of us. My only "frustration" is that I most appreciate snow during peak snow retention season, which is now through January. In that regard, we're losing precious time somewhat quickly. By average, February is our snowiest month of the year. It's also the time when on sunny days we see our beloved pack disappear quickly - after the 2 huge February storms in 2010, I lost 8.5" of pack the day following the 2nd storm. It was a sunny, 32 degree day. We wouldn't have lost half as much if it was a sunny, 32 degree day today.

Fairly pleasant morning in central FL.

30 and quite frosty this morning. Nice to see the ground whitened up.

Savannah might get some CCB love...

As it stands right now, 3 out of the final 4 games are at least winnable to some degree. They could easily lose them all, too. However, Tomlin has 10 days to prepare for this week. What can go wrong?

And that was my point. Replace it with something that you can't control with something you can. And yet still continue to be miserable.
