overview for RandAlThor

Castle isn't a PG IMO. Best to leave him as SG. Haven't watched enough Vassell to say what he is. Fox can break down defenses but he'll need a team full of shooters like Boston. He'd be best fit there offense wise because that's what Celtics built with Kyrie and then with IT. Celtics still don't got a PG who breaks down defenses. But can't see them part with Holiday.

Hunger has reached alarming levels in Myanmar with the situation set to worsen in 2025, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warned 29 January.

A staggering 15 million people are expected to face hunger in 2025, up from 13.3 million last year. Those living in active conflict areas, particularly in Chin, Kachin and Rakhine states, as well as Sagaing Region, are experiencing the highest levels of food insecurity in the country.

Almost 20 million people – 1 in 3 – will need humanitarian assistance this year, according to the Myanmar Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan.

Nah. Other teams want him. They just haven't finished the negotiations. Miami hasn't signed any help for him since he's arrived. He's at the tail end of his career and wants a chance at title. That's what he's doing.

Than Shwe is the mentor to current dictator Min Aung Hlaing. It demonstrates the insecurity MAL feels about his position and dissent within military ranks.

It's not so much that they fucked up, but the refs had a hand in this. Like the 4th down call - from TV it looks like it was good. But one ref overruled the other, the field on the call stood, and Chiefs went on to score a TD off that play - a potential 10 point swing in a close game. Fucking rigged crap.
