Isn't that basically just a manhattan?
it sounds different enough to me to not be a Manhattan.

New Deafheaven. Fuck yes.

Rockets have less whiny betas and fake twitter accounts on their roster. Advantage: Houston?

In the three years between Shaq leaving and Pau Gasol arriving, Kobe "led" the Lakers to 34, 45, and 42 wins, a lottery year, and two first round playoff exits.
That's your 2nd best player of all time?

I thought the Kanye Place sketch was like a lot of current SNL sketches. Starts with a marginally amusing joke that just gets repeated over and over instead of developed, sketch fizzles and drags on too long.
Glover stepped all over that Jurassic Park sketch by deciding he was going to play some over the top Johnny Cochran type character, I guess?

Remember when DeAndre Jordan basically begged to come to Houston and suggested a straight up trade for his aggy ass and clint capela?
lol pooor aggys
I wish I could have seen Chris Paul’s reaction when he heard about the aggy’s pipe dream.

Paul was magnificent after that bad game 2. Thank God. After game 2 I was worried he was hurt or wearing down.

Which, ironically, is how he plans to cure himself tonight

So Harden was sick apparently. Wonder what is up with him.

Kiss of Death esque.

Rickety start on offense, but solid D and all of a sudden the lead is 11.

Would like to see defense ratcheted up and less turnovers in the 2H.

I think Anderson is done. I don't expect him to play against GS. He's a zero on both ends of the floor. Old and slow Nene is still a better defender.

That makes it sound like he just started being a hit man. He's been doing this for years and way past the no turning back point, yet is going to try and turn back. He's probably had to kill innocent people or witnesses before. That's why he knew exactly where and when his buddy crossed the line of no return.
I think the transition you look for is:
guy who killed people without feeling bad > guy who kills people and feels bad > guy who doesn't kill people
58 minutes ago, DougO said:Wasn't there a quote in the first couple of episodes where he basically said something like, "we're only killing bad people, right?" He could always justify for himself before. If he didn't have some semblance of a fucked up conscience he would have killed the asshole marine guy with no problem. But he's always being manipulated because he doesn't want to disappoint people, even people that he knows are fucking him over.
Yeah, Barry has very clearly struggled with his line of work from the beginning. I mean... Barry "feeling bad" is pretty much the core of the show, isn't it?
I think this was a very important, very intended "no turning back" character moment for Barry. Like DougO mentioned, it makes Barry less sympathetic. And the creators want that. They went for it.
Going back to an interview Hader did with Bill Simmons at SXSW, I remember Hader talking about the violence as being real and intense (paraphrasing). I can see what he meant now. The violence in the show is not glorified. They don't want his work to be "cool" and they don't want the audience cheering on his killing like they would in a Tarantino movie.

Don't really want to start this until the season is complete so I can run through it one weekend.
How is this season so far?
This show isn’t worth your time anymore. Watch Barry instead.

That was an extraordinary episode of tv.
I liked where the creators took it. Barry’s character crossed a threshold from which he can never return.
10 hours ago, DougO said:For me the theme was basically even a cold-blooded hit man could be more sympathetic than a typical shallow, selfish, narcissist wannabe actor, or acting coach. I'm not sure they can pull that off any more.
To me, the theme is Barry struggling with his identity, and his fear that what he does defines who he is. That fear is fully realized on stage, and there is the sad irony that the worst thing he has done produces his best acting moment.

Which Raptor WAG does Lebron choose first? Or does he just take them all into his bed at once?
-
What a mess in Detroit. Saddle themselves with Blake Griffin's 4-year albatross of a contract, then fire the guy who made the trade a few months later.
-
So our O/U is down half a game from last year? How are we projected to be worse?
-
Why do we do this thread every time a QB signs a new contract?
-
2 straight in Utah, what a glorious turn of events. Hey Utah, how’s Houston’s ass taste?

I don’t get Donald Glover. I cant stand him for some reason. That monologue was the least funniest one I’ve ever seen.

Most Reddick shots look like they’re going in, but that one looked short as soon as it left his hands.
