  1. Minny at +600 looks tasty, and they already have a ticket to the WCF. I'm rooting for them or Denver to win it all given who is left.
  2. The agreement was in place for SGA before either team made a pick, so to say Charlotte drafted SGA is misleading, since there is no way to know if they would have drafted him if they kept the pick. They probably take Bridges anyway, who they took with the next pick via the Clippers. It's just dumb that in order to circumvent the pick trading rules, teams have to trade the rights to a player rather than a pick on draft night. The NBA needs to change that Stepian rule to exclude picks once they are within a week of the draft.
  3. Oh god yes, the stick is great for travel and wireless only purposes. The cube has an Ethernet port, so better/stable connection option, has a ton more space and memory, and a larger processor for dealing with the apps. It is a significant upgrade in response times for actions like switching apps, startup time, updates, etc. I also recommend checking your Amazon account for hardware trade in options as you send an old echo dot or stick in to get like $25 off a new Cube.
  4. SGA was drafted by the Clippers. There was a pick swap during the draft, the Hornets just had to make the pick for the Clips because the way the NBA tracks draft trades is incredibly stupid. Kobes rights were also traded on draft day to the Lakers, so he wasn't exactly their target. That team is just cursed to always fail forever and make the wrong decisions.
  5. I switched to Fire Cubes a couple years ago and they have been solid. Only complaint is that occasionally an app update will mess some app login and I have to clear the app cache or reinstall it to fix it. Happens maybe once a year. Otherwise they are very responsive, and I haven't experienced any lockups or lagging, which a lot of TV OSs do.
  6. Why do people always say that? I hate everybody, why would I like him?
  7. Maybe you could drill into his time there and give us the low down? I'm sure we would all be interested in any dirt he can share.
  8. That shot was so fucking nuts
  9. The way baseball awards wins to pitchers is so fucking dumb. The guy gave up 1 run in 8 innings, and doesn't get the win because the tie was broken in the 9th? How does that make any sense?
  10. She's pregnant, she's allowed to be crazy. Why else would she agree to go on this suicide mission in the first place? Pregnancy brain.
  11. Yes, it's totally regaurded. I'll show myself out...
  12. Does that mean we can reduce the Defense Department's budget significantly? No? Well ok then.
  13. Remember when Dan Gilbert was threatening the Miami Heat for tampering with LeBron, but then quietly backed down and got the #1 pick in The next draft? Total coincidence. Also the Cavs getting the Ohio native LeBron in 03 seemed like just a happy coincidence that could make a small market team relevant, and create a nice narrative to write about for years to come. Then getting the #1 pick again when LeBron makes his triumphant return to Cleveland? Well, it's just the way the balls drop. It's a pattern, and people love to find patterns. Hard to not see it, maybe it's not rigged every year, but it sure feels like it is some of the time.
  14. I thought she did a good job on the Nora scenes. She was scary, angry and I enjoyed the hatred flowing through her. The pulverizing with a lead pipe was satisfying to me. I think Joel would have wanted it that way.
  15. Probably doesn't need it since she has MapQuest on her phone.
  16. We could end up with a Minny/Knicks finals with KAT vs Randle. That would be something.
  17. He's not a superhero or a dragon, it makes no sense that he would know exactly where they were in Seattle, in the middle of the night, in a random building. Unless he was tracking them while they were walking down the road out in the open that day and followed them for a while. That actually would be entertaining and kind of funny if he was listening to their conversations, and just realized his girlfriend is a lesbian after risking his life to travel for weeks to come save her.
  18. How is no one talking about the Jesse coming out of fucking no where to save the damsels in distress? I mean, talk about some dumb bullshit, how the fuck would he know it was them in the random building surrounded by guard towers on either side? And then he heroically grabs Dina, carries her out of the woods and whisks her off to safety after they were spotted by the forest people? C'mon man, that's just silly.
  19. But pregnant Mary Sue triangulated all their positions using a walkie talkie and a paper map of a city she has never visited and was able to pinpoint every spot where the WLF is watching so they can be safe on certain roads.
  20. Unbelievable. No it really is exactly that, unbelievable. What a joke of a "draft"
  21. I think Ty Lue with the Cavs in 2016 was a rookie Head Coach. They fired David Blatt and promoted him, then came back from being down 3-1 vs the Warriors. Good times...
  22. This is depressing. Really needed to win that game 2 and not collapse there.
