Snapping Shrimp.
Alpheidae is a family of caridean snapping shrimp characterized by having asymmetrical claws, the larger of which is typically capable of producing a loud snapping sound. Other common names of these species include pistol shrimp or alpheid shrimp.
Most snapping shrimp dig burrows and are common inhabitants of coral reefs, submerged seagrass flats, and oyster reefs.
Pistol shrimp have also been noted for their ability to reverse claws. When the snapping claw is lost, the missing limb will regenerate into a smaller claw and the original small claw will grow into a new snapping claw. Laboratory research has shown that severing the nerve of the snapping claw induces the conversion of the small claw, resulting in a shrimp with two large claws, but this phenomenon of claw symmetry in snapping shrimp has only been documented once in nature.6
he shrimp snaps a specialized claw shut to create a cavitation bubble that generates acoustic pressures of up to 80 kPa at a distance of 4 cm from the claw. The pressure is strong enough to kill small fish and shatter glass.7
The snap can also produce sonoluminescence from the collapsing cavitation bubble. As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches temperatures of over 5,000 K (4,726.85 degrees Celsius).10 In comparison, the surface temperature of the sun is estimated to be around 5,778 K.

Brooks doesn’t seem to want to lose this game based on the number of minutes he’s giving his guys. I like Pop’s minute management.

Heh. We actually had rain for the first time in like 7 months this morning.

haha, NICE. But I have my window and doors open today, and it’s starting to get pretty cold.

Has the cold front come through? We’re supposed to get it sometime late tomorrow. I’m desperate for some legitimate cold weather. I’m covered in mosquito bites, which is just WRONG.

Hey, do you guys also get massive temperature swings? It’s like 70 something during the day here, and goes down to the 40’s at night.

hmm.....
I can’t help but think that a lineup of:
C: duncan
PF: jefferson
SF: Bonner
SG: Bogans
PG: Parker
would be a really dangerous group both offensively and defensively. Have Bonner play the Forwards/Centers on defense and Jefferson play SF’s on defense and this could be a great unit.

of course that is logical
which Pop so often times seems to not be

isn’t Jefferson at SF, Duncan PF, and Bonner C?

Yeah, but the positions they’re playing don’t matter. That’s just a technicality.
The Spurs - now playing defense again! ...sometimes
not really
Jefferson at SF means he has to stick to perimeter and have to try to drive in all the way from the perimeter, where as from PF he’d be positioned closer to the rim and thus have a much easier time driving.
Hence a significant offensive improvement form him the past two games compared to his 2 points this game.

I’ve missed most of the game but stat wise, Manu and RJ seemed to suck.
Any major reasons? No injury to Manu I hope?
Nope. Less ball movement, lane clogged and RJ and Manu’s two man game was MIA. Can someone tell me more about these Tim and Tony characters?
gladly i couldnt watch the game…. a lot of work left to do, right now our rotations are nelson-esque

Congrats—even when they were down by 10, they kept their composure.

Yeah, they almost pulled it off.
I still can’t believe that foul on Westbrook before the ball was inbounded. What keeps players from fouling the worst player on the team before the play enters plays? Anyway. Great game.

So Tim and Tony are back, and Manu and RJ both play very subpar game. Do we have some chemistry issues or what?
not or what.
