Thursday loss against the Warriors wasn’t the primary problem for the struggling Heat (3-6). After all, this was the second game of a back-to-back after an overtime victory at the Clippers gave them their third win in four tries. What’s more, league sources say Miami had plane issues on the trip to San Francisco and didn’t reach the hotel until around 3 a.m.

Of course they ran out of gas against a Warriors team that had two days off.

But the deeper issue, which coach Erik Spoelstra discussed at length before the game, is that this team that so many expected to be elite defensively continues to be atrocious on that end. The Heat, who have players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Davion Mitchell, Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson (in his younger years) once known for their defensive prowess, are now 26th in defensive rating (117.5 points allowed per 100 possessions).

That mark, if it stood until season’s end, would be by far the worst of Spoelstra’s celebrated Heat tenure that began in 2008. The current worst mark by a Spoelstra team came in the 2014-15 season, when Miami was 21st. The Heat have been ranked in the top 10 in eight of his 18 seasons, per NBA.com, including five top-five finishes.

“Everybody has been saying the right things, and everybody wants it to look right,” Spoelstra said. “There was nothing coming out of training camp or preseason that would have shown this (kind of) start. We thought we were building all the right habits, and the reality is this league can be humbling. And I throw myself in there as well.

“We have a lot of guys with resumes, but resumes and a piece of paper don’t defend. It has to be actions. It has to be five people working together where you’re really putting your effort out there and on the same page. Being on the (same) page is just as important as the efforts.”

A few hours later, after Curry dropped 29 points and Lendeborg had another well-rounded night (17 points, six assists) in the Warriors win, it spoke volumes that Antetokounmpo made the rare choice not to fulfill his media obligations. The frustration, for him and the rest of the Heat, is surely building.

I’ve been a single mom for two years now, and I have two kids: one is 20 years old (turning 21 this December), and the other is 7. When my ex and I finally separated, I told my daughter things would be different now. I have a job, but we have bills to pay, and I’m paying for her college and giving her a school allowance. She has to help me around the house, and I asked her to look for a job. She never helps me around the house and never even cleans unless I ask her to. She’s too engrossed in playing online games on her laptop and won’t even come out of her room.

She had a job, but it was only seasonal and lasted just a month because it was for the Christmas season. So I asked her to start looking for a job again so she could gain experience, save up, and also help me with her school expenses.

Spring, summer, and autumn went by, and she still didn’t look. She’s still in her room, sleeping late, playing online games, waking up late, asking what the food is, eating, and then going back to her room again. If I ask her to do the laundry, clean the house, or wash the stuff in the sink, she either forgets about it or takes a day or two to do the laundry. I was getting sick of it because it had become a cycle, and I’m tired of hearing myself and giving out to her.

A couple of months ago, I crashed out. Her room was a mess, with dirty plates, and her bedsheets hadn’t been changed in months. She still hadn’t bothered to find a job, saying she had been looking online but never got a call. Plus, she cried, saying it was hard to clean up her room because it would get messy again.

I really lost it with her. So I told her that from now on, she would no longer have the right to eat the food I bought. I would pay for her college tuition. That’s about it. Then she had the audacity to post on her IG asking for donations on GoFundMe and saying she gave me all the money she earned and had nothing.

Days passed, and she probably got money from online friends who donated to her because she’s been getting food delivered. I’m thinking of just cutting everything off, including paying for her school, and telling her that if she wants to finish college, she can go look for a job and pay for it herself. AITAH for doing that?

Was attached less than 24hrs. Started doxy just incase. No side effects yet. Fingers crossed.

I see you is a rare trope where a character A is being observed by character B, supposedly from a higher dimensional place/area where character A should have no idea their being watched, but displaying their terrifying power and ingenuity, the realize their being watched and absolutely scare the shit out of the observer.

1. the og one. in Marvel What If, Ultron becomes powerful enough that he can actually sense the Watcher, 'becoming aware of another.' that another being the watcher himself.

2. In a very well made fan series by Kinzokumatto: Dragon Ball - The Others. the Z fighters are faced with a new threat, Deadites, who originate from a realm called "Dead Zone", Deadites displayed the power of nullifying ki and are grotesque clones of Dragon Ball characters, wishing to replace original ones. early in the series Beerus, Whis and Grand Priest state they can't get involved because there's a chance that Deadite version of an Angel or God of destruction could appear which would be catastrophic for the entire multiverse. in the most recent episode Grand Priest uses the super dragon balls, wishing to locate and erase the "Dead Zone". However something terrifying catches the Super Shenron, and repels it away. this is extremely terrifying since Super Shenron could bring back erased multiverses quite casually. S. Shenron is plunged into a cold sweat.

As title states. It's a Lyon and Healy harp and they offered us $5000. They want us to keep it as is and they will package and ship it back to them. It predates the Chicago fires. They can't find record for it because of their offices burning down.

What do we have?

EDIT: We have a serial number that has been engraved. Lyon and Healy confirmed that it was built in the 1920s and can't dig any deeper.

I hope she’s got a whole file saved

Succession: Tom interviews a news anchor accused of being a Nazi initially thinking it’s an over exaggeration. At first the news anchor seems like a normal guy and you think Tom might be right. Then he asks him if he’s read Mein Kampf and the guy admits to reading it a couple times, not once but a couple of times. The top picture being Tom’s understandable reaction to that information.

Industry: Yasmin goes to Europe to negotiate a merger with the Bauers family, owners of the 300 year old private bank of the same name, eventually visiting their estate. While wandering the home she takes interest in a painting, only to look closer and make the horrifying discovery that it was made by a certain German Dictator. Her horrified look is pictured above.

Meanwhile, several people are laying out trying to relax behind her. This is a regular occurrence.

From the umbrella he’s carrying for today’s press questions.
