Bones Hyland - NBA Thread

ViCtorioUs · Mar 16, 2023

When I was a boy my Dad worked for Eastern Air Lines in Orlando. One day he took me to the airport and there was a Lockheed Constellation sitting on the tarmac. Dad took me out to the plane and as we walked around the front of one of the most beautiful aircraft ever buiit I looked up at the strut and it seemed so tall (had to be as the props were 12 ft in diameter). The aluminum skin shined as it reflected the sunlight. We boarded the plane and the pilot invited us into the cockpit. I sat in the pilot’s seat and was overwhelmed by the guages and switches. The pilot and Dad chatted, but I was in heaven.

One time I had a layover in Shanghai and my flight was delayed so I was stuck in that god awful city for over 30 hours. The breakfast buffet at the hotel.... We almost didn't make it 🤢

So is Bones injured or is as he been related to the far end of the bench?

To be fair, the flying discussion was initially relevant.

For a second there, I thought you were going to say that Kareem was the co-pilot and that the pilot asked you if you liked gladiator movies...

During yesterdays New York beatdown of Denver Scott Hasting's comment was that the Nuggets were still looking for a backup point guard that can play. Ah, too bad.

Their results have not been what they expected after the trades. Bones best bet is to keep positive and keep working his butt off and be the best teammate he can be. His day will come and his place will come
