re: Do you work out when you’re on vacation?
Posted by NOLALGD on 5/24/24 at 4:05 pm
Depends on the location. A crappy hotel gym in NYC the size of room, will just go for a 15-20 minute walk in the morning and get a bagel.
Most AI's in the Carribean have decent gyms, some are actually amazing facilities. When there workout maybe every other day, usual routine is up for sunris...

re: NYC for Braves/Yankees - Hoping for some recommendations (traveling with 75 yr old)

Since you said he has been to the City many times and doesn't need the full experience I would stay somewhere near a 4 train stop, its an express with a Yankee Station stop. I don't have any specific recommendations but look near Union Square Station or Grand Central Station. Even staying near Batte...

The subway is safe and fine anywhere in the City, just about any time of day or night.
Only time I would be extra aware is a late, late night trip to a destination outside of Manhattan where you might be the only person on a train car. In that case I would walk to a car where other people are si...

Unless there is an existing drainage servitude on the property its way more complicated than that. I believe a large percentage of lots in residential developments don't have proper drainage and/or the original drainage plan was altere...
re: Non pels Does anyone palm the ball more than Jason tatum
Posted by NOLALGD on 5/22/24 at 10:42 am
The NBA allowing a lot of leeway on the gather/3rd step is a newer event and fair to critic.
But NBA players have always palmed the ball when dribbling. AI, Hardaway, Isiah, etc, all of them did it. And the worst offenders were the non-center ISO/post-up players of the 80s and 90s like Barkley...

re: 11 yo son started lifting in gym.
Posted by NOLALGD on 5/13/24 at 2:04 pm
My only observation is instead of a bodybuilding style workout I would focus on mastering the traditional full body/compound lifts. Also I don't mean mastering like many/most middle-aged novice lifters do in the gym, I mean focusing on form first on every single rep.
I think lifting is great f...
re: Why so many backpacks in the gym?

I don't have a problem with gym bags, I have a very small one I use. I agree with you, I don't get carrying it with you everywhere in the gym, when I went to large gyms I left the bag in a locker and carried a water bottle and occasionally a towel. I think some people do it to claim equipment/benc...

Posted by NOLALGD on 5/12/24 at 9:38 am
Its not just about the offensive end, sometimes the goal is the force the player to the bench which affects the teams defensive strategy. and it worked. The one defensive possession Lively was on the bench OKC scored after getting 3 offensive rebounds.

Food/drink in NYC is the easier part to figure out since there are abundant food options in most neighborhoods that tourist visit. Pick the things you want to see/do, then figure out food and drink.

Before buying a new bag go to Will My Bag Fit to see if it will work. Site isn't perfect, but really accurate.
