I enjoy competition so I just about know all sports, but I used to coach middle school aged basketball so I am more demanding on that sport. Like I said, I am more into the competition so prefer favorite players versus teams. I'm old school so that's prior and during the Jordan era, so I will give you my favorite player today. The Big Ticket, not a whole lot to say after that. If you are an NBA fan you know the rest of that story. Don't think there is/was a more mental player during his era. He is really going to help the Timberwolves this season, looking forward to seeing how the young fellas soak it up.

Lakers!! Just waiting for them to start winning games again...hopefully sometime soon. We had a decent offseason and have some young talent, so things could turn around in the near future.

Not going to happen until they get rid of a "key" player, no not Kobe, Kupchak.

Not sure it's as much Mitch Kupchak as it is Jim Buss. Guy really needs to go.

I could add Jim to the problem, but Jeanne gave him 3 years to put the team in the Conference finals, he's down to 2. No time limit for Kupchak. One or both will be gone in 2 years, Lakers are probably tied for 10th in the West and will not make the Conference finals in 2 years.

Being from Toronto - I root for the Raptors

 

Don't just root for the Raptors because they are from Toronto, they have some top notch players and are pretty competitive. I think they will make it to the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs this upcoming season.

I hope so.

They choked hard last season. (And the post-season before)

 

Its almost unforgiving.

Default user - what do you think about the Raptors now...you on board yet?

Grew up a bulls fan being from NW Indiana. It was awesome being in middle school and high school when Jordan and scottie were doing their thing. I enjoy college basketball over pro (to much one on one, no defense)

 

I love watching and playing basketball. I also coach my 5 yr old. We start our work league in a week

My basketball playing days were over long ago, once I lost my step it was off to coaching. I preferred to coach the middle school grades, 7-9 back in the day. That age is the “how to” group to where you can teach technique. How to pick, how to roll, how to shoot a free throw, how to pass, etc. My youngest is 30 and stopped in town yesterday, he was saying how he was playing basketball the other day and was keeping bigger guys off the glass, block out technique I taught him. I silently reflected on the comment, but teach your son techniques when he’s at the technique age, it will stay with him at 30.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
