It's a nice phone and all, but watching the presentation they were trying to sell all these repackaged "innovations" as some revolutionary vision of the smartphone for the next 10 years. Of course the hyperbole is to be expected at all these tech releases, but this was a bit much. They wanted...

That's an especially shitty recording of one of the most perfectly sweet rock songs ever written.

Word was that Lebron really wanted a Bledsoe / Josh Jackson deal with Phoenix but Phoenix didn't want to part with Jackson. You can understand Phoenix wanting to stay younger because of how ridiculous the west is right now, and even with a Irving / Booker backcourt they may make the playoffs...

Some guy that posted on twitter about a conversation he had with Ainge the day before the trade went down, said Ainge told him the Celtics offered the Nets pick+ for Paul George. For some idiotic reason the Pacers were hellbent on shipping him out of the conference, so they took Oladipo and...

The Warriors core is locked up for 2 more years, assuming Durant opts out and signs a long-term deal next year. Their first challenge in holding it together will be 2019 when Klay becomes a FA.

Could be a great trade for Cleveland. That Nets pick could give the Cavs leverage to try to keep Lebron around after this season by either trading the pick with other assets for another star he wouldn't want to pass up playing with or by simply drafting a guy Lebron might want to play with...

Shoebox viewers suck, find glasses. We had 90% blockage here or something, disappointing. Should have made the trip to Oregon.

Gf wanted to see a movie, and this was the only thing starting around the time that we hadn't yet seen. We both thought it was ok. Not terrible, not good, just passable for something to do. Kept us engaged at least, and now I have the urge to watch some Wire or True Detective season 1. I...

Thought it was pretty f'ing awesome. The action was killer, enjoyed the soundtrack mostly, and the plot keeps you on your toes as you try to figure out wtf is going on. It was a bit overly convoluted, but I prefer that to predictable.

I think it has a lot to do with Lebron's passive aggressive BS that he's constantly shoveling.

You can't say Kyrie is a "much" better defender than anybody, he's objectively one of the worst defenders in the league. They both are. The rest I agree with. Kyrie is a marginally better shooter, much better at penetration, IT is more adept at getting to the line. Kyrie is great in the...

I don't think the Celtics do that. Kyrie is a bit better but IT just had a superb season and Kyrie is not a prototypical PG. He hasn't shown that he can make the players around him better. Don't see the Celtics giving up a valuable asset for a marginal upgrade.

Spent a huge chunk of that summer listening to all that, for better or worse, whatever the radio station was looping, while killing shit in Kunark. Good times. Alarm goes off and "In the End" starts playing. Time to go to class or try to find a KC group?....

Jaqen ain't doing shiet to Arya, he respects her. She already shit on their beliefs and he nodded to her like "Good for you."

Really though, the video is 50% less cringe if you mute it and throw on any random music instead. It's actually ok then. The animations are whatever, nobody ever played EQ for the animations.

Agree, the Frey revenge was too easy and fast. But obviously taking out Circei isn't going to be that easy, something is going to stop Arya. Seemed obvious Euron is gonna go find the dragonhorn, only thing that can make Cirsei relevant. Also with regards to the "You can't trust a Targaryen"...

They'll all get plenty of PT. Collecting SF's is fine in today's game since you can throw out lineups with 3 or 4 of em at a time. Jaylen Brown especially seems athletic and big enough that he'll be able to guard positions 1-4 at times.

Yeah, doesn't really move the needle without an even bigger move. And they'd been trying to couple this with a big trade, but the options they were looking at are probably about all gone now.

But that's pretty much been his path to the finals for the past 5+ years anyways. His challenge is no different because Paul George moved from a mediocre Pacers team or Butler moved from a mediocre Bulls team. At least there's still a chance Gordon Hayward signs with the Celtics.

For sure not sold on it either, but its mostly going to be economics and will have little to do with the basketball side of things. The new supermax deals in general seem like they're going to hamper teams from holding 3+ big name stars long term, which should be good for the league. Warriors...

For starters, I heard Steph say it two weeks ago when he said Splash Brothers with their second title. How are they not sold on locking him up long term? They locked him up to a four year extension three years ago. He's absolutely the ideal SG to be a second or third option on a team. These...

Livingston did re-sign for a deal though. 8 years 24 mill. It sounds like Iguodala is not down with giving a deal though. Livingston, whose career earnings were probably more than halved due to his catastrophic injury, was fine taking a discount to stay even though he had every right to try...

Yeah, not a fan of Rubio, but I'd be less than excited about replacing him with Teague. Would have rather taken this season to see how much improvement there is with Butler added, try to get the best playoff seed possible, then would still have had the option of trading Rubio next year to try...

Wouldn't be next year, Klay is signed til 2019. But yeah, there's a real chance he goes to the Lakers then no matter how much his dad or anybody says he isn't going to leave. They're going to be able to throw a lot more money at him, obviously LA allure and nostalgia for him, maybe the chance...

Of course its understandable from the Rockets perspective, it does make them a little better. But I don't get it from Paul's perspective. You'd figure he wants to finally win, and joining the Spurs would have been such a great fit for him to have that chance. The value of his half court play...

CP3 to Houston deal agreed on. Just glad he's not going to the Spurs. Kind of a weird choice for him to want to go to the Rockets. He thinks they can win something with the typical D of D'Antoni teams?

This awards show is horrible, not sure why I'm watching. It could be worth it though if Kawhi somehow wins the MVP by getting all the vote of those who love winning 2-way basketball while Harden and Westbrook split the ball hog stat-padder fan vote.

I'd just call Lebron my PG, Butler at SG, Giannis SF, Kawhi PF, AD. Yeah, Giannis can't shoot, but with that D and his other playmaking abilities it wouldn't matter. He'd kinda be the Draymond of that offense.

Pretty happy the Warriors were somehow able to get Jordan Bell without even having a pick in this draft, same as they got McCaw last year.

Really surprised by that. I've never been high on De'Angelo, but he's still young and has upside for a #2 pick. Giving up on him so soon just to use him for a salary dump is horrible. I'd be so angry if I were a Lakers fan. At the least you'd think they could have used Russell to get George...

The Wolves with Towns and Wiggins just a couple years ago..

No it isn't. In Lorenzo Romar's tenure the past 15 years they've ranged from average to very good with multiple Sweet 16 appearances. This was the worst record they've ever had under him, and the only significantly sub-.500 season since his first as coach. I watched a fair bit of them this...

So satisfying. Haters can eat a dick. The NBA made this happen. Said on page one of this thread what the result would be and enjoyed the fuck out of it. Cavs made the Warriors earn it. Don't think there's ever been 4 better performances in one finals than we saw from KD, Steph, Lebron, and...

So speaking of bitch moves, Lebron had his people call the NBA league office after game 4 last year to get Draymond suspended because he knew he was going to lose the series without some sort of momentum shifter. It doesn't get more bitch than that.

No he didn't. An Open Letter to Bored NBA Writers - Fast Break

The guy who was a 29-year old superstar in his prime, arguably 3rd best player in the league at the time, and who as far as Lebron knew would be healthy for the next 4+ years so that they could wreck the league together. You made a point about Durant's initial move not being competetive, don't...

I was talking about Wade 7 years ago.

So when Lebron joins up with the 2nd best player in his conference its ok, when Durant does it he doesn't like competition. Got it. Lets not pretend Lebron wanted competition. He knew damn well that that team was going to make the finals every year, and he thought it'd be enough to win it all...

Seriously though, not sure I've ever watched a finals game with a higher level of play than we saw in that one. I was fully prepared to concede that game and say Kyrie and Lebron were just too much tonight. It was very physical for a game with that much scoring. A lot of good D was played...

Where's the guy who was saying Klay not an all-star after game 1? lol
