    I was only saying that because Yamikazo was comparing them to those Mavs. You missed the whole point of my post, like I said.

    NBA 2019-2020 Season: Kawhi Saved Us

    You missed my whole point which is that the Heat are not as good as the 2011 Mavs, and the Lakers aren't even as good as the 2011 Heat. Yes Butler is good, my point is he is not a GREAT offensive player. And don't even try to claim he is. Davis is great, but Davis+2020 Lebron are not as...

    The Heat are not as good as those Mavs, not even close really. The Mavs had a top 20ish all time player, arguably top 10ish all time offensively, playing the best ball of his career. ENORMOUS advantage in the playoffs when you have a guy like that you can go to. These Heat have.. a top 20ish...

    Everything Stephen A. said is true though, and he doesn't go far enough tbh. Lebron made 7 straight finals by - banding together with another top 5 player and top 20 player in his own conference, creating a legit superteam while almost all competition in the East was gutted. Then when his...

    Amazon just announced their own game streaming service so they'd probably prefer to sell fewer of each and more of their own garbage service.

    Perkins was an overrated 5th wheel whose role could have been replicated by any number of bigs. I think Rivers is an overrated whiner for sure that definitely didn't help them to win any more. Health and age were also a problem. Trading Kendrick Perkins is wayy down in the list of reasons why...

    Flight Sim seems like a compelling exclusive case for getting a series X to me. Haven't upgraded my PC in 8 years, and think I'd rather just get a series X to play it on at this point (assuming it comes to XBOX relatively soon.) Anybody could have fun fucking around on that game in the comfort...

    Yes its undoubtedly the user base, and the fact that Microsoft has no inroads currently on young social media. So they'd be willing to pay more than say Facebook or Google who already have tons of young eyeballs and probably their own similar platforms tied to Youtube and IG / FG. (I don't...

    But in this case it could be even more a trailing indicator because of allowed mortgage forbearance and FED help. Bottom line is that the government is going to do everything in its power to try to avoid a 2008 repeat. They're going to push for mortgage forbearance, they're going to keep...

    Some not so great rates on there. I've been planning to use Wells Fargo for a while - not sure if I will in the end, but they had super competitive rates for a while because of all the negative publicity they had with that account nonsense. Not as great relatively as they were last year, but...

    I've been using a Redfin realtor for the past couple years that I've been pretty happy with. Any realtor could suck, but a couple things about using Redfin that are nice - You get a little refund when purchasing, though this is a small benefit. 1-3k or so. The agent doesn't receive a...

    I think taking advantage of low interest rates is a really bad reason to buy right now. The FED is going to do everything it can to keep them suppressed for a long, long while. It will not increase the FED funds rate for a couple years at least. If you have job uncertainty, i wouldn't...

    The initial drop from +400 to around 0 was due to the NY shutdown. After the Trump et al briefing things kind of drifted between -200 to +100ish for a long while. The bigger selling wasn't until the last couple hours. Yeah I've heard rumors of further lockdowns coming soon. Thought of buying...

    How confident are you on JPM now though ? Won't they have more trouble making money as rates approach zero ? Honest question. I've seen smart people saying recently that US banks will get destroyed if rates go negative (a la Deutsche.) And the market was pricing in another 100 bp cut...

    Giannis not a free agent til after next season. I'm not betting anything on him demanding a trade before that. He'll play out his contract and see whats up in 2021. Bucks will try to extend him with the supermax, and it he might give signals to them about hesitance to stick around at that...

    You couldn't have drawn this season up much better for the Warriors so far really. Klay / Steph / Draymond get tons of rest. Gives them a chance to recharge / remotivate themselves after a long 5 years stretch. Trade D-Lo for a more useful player (overpaid but can at least play a little more...

    During trading today it was noted that the 10-year yield dropped under 0.9% for the first time ever (well duh its been all firsts lately but anyways.. ) And now 12 hours later its just dropped under 0.8%. I think it was just a week ago it dropped under 1.3% for the first time ever... odds of...

    Probably cause he's not 60+ ? I mean we've all seen the video of him hobbling out for game 7, but not many here watched the dude play. I loved watching Knicks ball in the 90's. I'd think of 20+ guys or moments from that era on before I ever got to Willis Reed. Starks dunk over Jordan and...

    Fear is still through the roof. Futures pointing down again. 10-year treasury yield smashed through below 1.3% yesterday for the first time ever... Its gone down another 10 BPs today and is now below 1.2%. If there's any kind of bounce in the next week, it could just be setting up for another...

    10-year yield has dropped over 8 BP's tonight to just under 1.39% now. Hell, that 100 pt S&P drop could potentially all come tomorrow. Futures currently showing down 70, DOW down 550.

    Super entertaining ending, too bad team Giannis was handicapped with Lowry and Kemba taking a majority of their crunch time shots in an all star game lol. That Giannis block on Lebron was amazing though.

    Warriors send D-Lo to the Wolves for Wiggins and a protected future first... meh. Would have much rather they waited until summer to see who was available then. Don't like D-Lo much but he had some value. Wiggins has less. They did need a SF at least, and maybe the pick will turn into something.

    Best movie of the decade ?

    1. BR2049 - when i walked out of the theater I felt like I'd just seen a 10/10 movie. 2. Infinity War - maybe the most rewatchable movie of the decade, so many great moments and fight scenes. Together with Endgame its a culmination of superb storytelling done right. Slightly edges out...

    Its free money, there's no reason to not do as much as you can as long as you don't need the money right away which it sounds like you don't.

    No it isn't. Streaming will be fine for some games, not fine for others. Stadia is probably a non-starter, but there's no reason X-Box and PlayStation can't have some success with it. I don't know if it'll ever be the primary play method, but it obviously wouldn't happen for a while. For now...
