  1. I really dig this show, but there are a couple of things that annoy me: 1. Why does every single character have to have a love interest? They almost lost me midway through the season with all the relationship crap. And the gratuitous gay sex scene seemed like it served no purpose other than to have a gay sex scene. More Yakuza, less chick flick would put this thing over the top. 2. Samantha. It's like they wrote her up with sole purpose of creating a character that makes every wrong decision possible.
  2. It was better than I thought it was going to be, which was awful. So it’s not terrible but I thought they dropped the ball at the end in the climactic fight. You go through the whole movie building up to it and then it was almost an afterthought.
  3. I don’t think you can get the stench out of that one weird bathroom where you have to walk downstairs to get there for less than $200 million. Somebody underbid the hell out of this.
  4. It's like that Johnny Cash movie but if June had downs syndrome and was the world's biggest asshole.
  5. Anybody think Sochan finds himself wide ass open at the three point line and thinks, “Man I’m moving so well without the ball I totally shook my guy. They can’t hang with me.”
  6. I’m not sure how you’re even in a game where you shoot 7/38 from three.
  7. Toronto's pick would also roll over to 2026 if it doesn't convey next year. So, the Spurs have three cracks at it before it moves to two SRP. From a talent standpoint, there will certainly be a better field of prospects next year. But who's to say where that pick ends up? You balance out the chance that it never conveys vs. the chance that it conveys later in the draft vs the talent available wherever the pick ends up falling. It's obviously a crapshoot either way. For the purposes of roster balance, it's better if it conveys now. Because if it doesn't, the Spurs could be looking at four FRP next draft. Barring trades they will for sure have their own and Atlanta's. Then possibly Toronto's (top 6 protected) and Chicago's (top 10 protected), plus 3 SRP. They are already facing a glut of young players who need time in the incubator, and not enough playing time and roster spots for them. That was a long winded way to say, who the fuck knows? I have no faith in the this front office getting the draft right, so I think the more shots on goal they have, the better the chance is that they fall as backwards into a player. So, put me in the camp of it's better to convey this year, even with the shitty talent pool. They just have to get lucky on one guy, not the entire draft and being lucky is what this franchise does best.
  8. It's a small price to pay to be able to know when the other games start play back up after a timeout and it's time to switch the channel.
  9. The one time James Harden decides to play defense it's against his own teammate.
  10. He didn’t play hardly at all. It’s one thing to come off the bench on a veteran team and I know he’s been dealing with multiple injuries but it’s really peculiar.
  11. Michael Jordan was a geography major. Could be an entry to the NBA.
  12. Check out Jalen Green hitting his stride right before becoming eligible for a contract extension this offseason. What are the Rockets supposed to do with him? He's looked like everything from a complete bust to a budding superstar.
  13. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Tip Top. It used to be in heavy rotation A few years ago they got bought out and it isn’t the same. Same menu but the food just isn’t very good. There used to be a line out the door every day for lunch now you can stroll right in. Or at least that’s how it was last time I went. And Maggies… they may have been the first place In SA to have cheese sticks. So many nights in Maggies drinking underage They redid the Mamas on Nacogdoches just outside the loop a couple of years ago. Food is pretty good but damn it got pricey. The original on San Pedro was such a classic. I watched the OJ verdict there.
  14. Yep. Hsiu was so damn cool too. She did all the math on the bill by hand until the very end and God knows how old she was. The last few times I went before they closed she wouldn’t let me pay and just thanked me for being such a loyal customer. Formosa Garden is meh but has become my default since Hsiu closed. I’d definitely like to upgrade but there’s just not many options over here for Chinese. @Hate are you talking about lai wah? It’s closed but it was outside loop near Callaghan. It was good. Maybe you’re thinking of fujiya sushi on Fred. That place was classic.
  15. I don’t mind Saban being a hypocrite as much as I mind him being so gotdamn sanctimonious about it. This dirty piece of shit positioning himself as the moral compass of college football looking out for the best interest of the kids is just too much.
  16. It seems like every other night he's doing something that's never been done before statistically. Some of that is bullshit because the game is broken right now and all of the numbers across the league are out of hand, but this one is still pretty good: The most completely fucked up part about this stat is that Kareem did it while playing 41.2 and 43.8 minutes per night. Olajuwon did it playing 39.5 and 41 mpg. Victor is doing it averaging 29.0 mpg.
  17. Hisu Yu was always my go to back in the day, but I haven't found anything near 09 that is nearly as good since she closed. @Helobious I looked up the reviews for Phoenix and it looks like it's under new management and has gone to shit.
  18. When was the last time you ate there?
  19. They missed the obvious James Harden jersey swap.
  20. Kyrie would be one of my all time favorite players if I only considered what he does on the court. He is an absolute witch.
  21. Are we going to talk about Sochans shorts or just pretend it’s not happening?
