What's new

Rising Stars Challenge - 7 PM MST - TNT

Yes, I went through that pain. I won't compare it to childbirth, though. After watching my wife, I don't think ANYTHING compares. But they wouldn't pass and I had to wait 3 weeks for them to then go back and break them up (which is what I had done yesterday). Don't ask...it's a long story. But in the meantime they put in a stent to drain and gave me antibiotics. So it's been a month-long process with anotehr week to go (still have a stent for any residuals). I did get "congratulated" by many of the E.R. doctors and nurses for having one of the biggest stones they've encountered. YEAH!

Stay away from sodas and sugar Man. I'd hate to endure the pain of kidney stones.
 
How does one get stones so I can avoid this at all costs? Lol. No seriously. How?
"Kidney stones are created when certain substances in urine -- including calcium, oxalate, and sometimes uric acid -- crystallize. These minerals and salts form crystals, which can then join together and form a kidney stone."

It basically comes down to drinking enough water to flush everything out. Not a guarantee, but yes, soda, especially the caffeinated ones, dehydrate the body. I know I haven't been drinking enough water and have been a Diet Coke addict. I've already given up the Diet Coke. Now I'm going to make sure I start drinking a LOT more water. I NEVER want to go through this again. Even stones which eventually pass are very painful.
 
I'm so excited about Gobert. Let's say he busts his *** this summer, puts on 7-8 pounds of muscle (compared to where he was at the beginning of this season) and becomes the starter earning 32 minutes per game next year. What kind of numbers do we think he'd put up?

I'd guess 12.5/10.1/3.2. Then with a year as starter under his belt, in 16-17, I think he could go for 15/11/4.
I would imagine him averaging a lot higher than 10.1 rebounds. Hell I would imagine him contending for the league leader title right away.


Or was that 10.1 for blocks?
 
I woke up this morning and watched Gobert's block, stare down at Noel and dunk sequence around 18 times. How freshening to see a player in a Jazz uniform showing that swag and nastiness.

Despite all the awesomeness and development I am seeing from the team, my favorite thing is the nastiness and swag that Rudy brings. It's so intense and aggressive that the other players, like Favors, raise their intensity to match.

About time the Jazz had some nastiness again. Break them Rudy. Break them all.
