    This. Hope he does well, not just because he's a Rocket.

    Him and Lamb combined for 141 points in that game .. I know it's a pro-am but that's shooting lights out.

    Where I used to live in north Queensland there is a sign just before the beach saying...
    Caution : box jelly fish, stone fish, sea snakes, poison cone shell, sting rays, Portugese men of war, sharks and occasional crocodiles...
    Don't forget your sunscreen and enjoy!


    Yes, spiders are that big, I had one the size of my fist sitting on my car floor the other day.

    I visited Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, returning to the US only a week ago. I never saw any spiders, let alone spiders that big. Are they that common?

    Same here, have a huge issue with spiders, scared big time, and I'm 5'7 and 200 lbs, you would think I would be ok, but terrified of them.

    You can send someone to the D-League during their first 3 years in the NBA. He's only been in the NBA for 2 years. Lamar Odom agreed to play in the D League which is why they could send him down.

    "Starting in 2012–13, there will be no limit to the number of times an NBA player with three years or less experience can be assigned to the D-League. Starting in 2011–12, veteran NBA players can be assigned with their consent.'

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Development_League

    He has good ball handling and three point shooting off the bench. He plays the 2 and the 3. Not sure if many of you realize this but we need a legit backup Small Forward for Parsons.

    Not as common in the major city areas, even though Sydney is famous for the deadly toxic funnel web...a spider that will pierce your shoe if you try to step on it. But in the leafy suburbs they are everywhere. In the tropical north they eat small birds.

    I present the Sydney funnel web...

    Didn't Ostertag make a comeback to the DL last season? Or was that another smaller league?

    Also, special thanks for the huge annoying pic, thetatomatis.

    I gotta say, I actually think he can play some. Not the worst 3rd string wing to have.
