    NBA 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    ^ I see a new stat like that almost every day. The plus / minus on the entire starting lineup is just ridiculous because they're building big leads so quickly and limiting the starter minutes. Every guy in the starting lineup is in the top 20 all time right now for +/- per 48 mins played for a...

    Heavens no, Wiggins hasn't turned the team around and led them to the playoffs in his first season as a 19 yo....fact is, he'll probably take them further than Love ever did within a few years. I know you love Love and probably get pissed seeing how Cleveland uses him, but if he were still in...

    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    As a Niner fan living in the Seattle area, let me just say no to that. I was sort of ok with them winning last year since the city hadn't won anything in decades, but the fans are intolerable now. I'm absolutely sick of seeing Seahawks everywhere I go. Your reasoning is off too. The...

    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    I never thought in a million years I'd be rooting for Brady to win his 4th. But when you're a Niners fan, living in Seattle, this is the only choice now. It's the lesser of two evils. The Brady-Montana debates will always be there either way.

    So how long before Cavs fans start regretting trading Wiggins for a one-year rental of a disgruntled Love? Wiggins with 31 pts / 9 reb / 4 asst / 3 blocks tonight. Unless Cleveland wins a title this year, Love may jet and that trade may go down in infamy.

    The Greatest Song You Have Ever Heard

    I started getting into Met during their MTV Black Album craze phase. Unforgiven was the song that first grabbed me, but when I looked back and found this one it blew me away and I'd listen to it endlessly.

    They'll can Blatt before they trade Love. I didn't like Mark Jackson as the Warriors coach, but I think he could do a good job with the Cavs actually. He got guys to play D, would command more respect than Blatt, and his whole "no offense" offense should work ok with Lebron and Kyrie. It'd...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Disappointing that the Niners aren't interested in Holmgren. Bay Area ties, Niners ties, success everywhere he has coached, and a guy that would have gone hard at the Seahawks. He was interested, and the Niners brass weren't. Strike two for them.

    Role player doesn't necessarily mean he's not good. Like I said, he's been an exceptional role player, but his primary task is still to do the dirty work. Play tough D, board, and yeah knock down an open shot if the D leaves him open. For example, Rodman was a role player, no? Elite one...

    He's a role player, he should take the biggest offer he gets. That said, he's been an exceptional role player this year, seems to be a huge leader for the team, and I hope they match whatever offer he signs if it comes to that. It has to be the #1 off season priority at this point. It might...

    All those stats you listed are only marginally better than he's done before. Yes, his 2-pt % is a few points higher than ever but his 3-pt % is pretty much on par with the norm. You say he's getting to the line more than ever... 0.1 more attempts than he averaged last season! Nothing he's...

    Curry has pretty much just been doing what he's done the last couple years. It's not about him, it's about actually having an offense where the ball moves, which they didn't have under Jackson. Yes obviously Curry is the key cog in the offense, but the improvement over last season is stemming...

    I've been a Dubs fan for 25+ years now... I have to pinch myself to make sure this is real. Yes, it's only the beginning of the season, but they are playing so well on both ends. On top of the league in offensive FG% AND defensive FG%. Their FG% differential is 8.3% and the next closest team...

    I'll miss him, but if they put the money to good use it may not hurt much. Most important hitter during two WS we won, you can't understate that. If he doesn't hit those 3 bombs off Verlander in game 1, you have no idea how that series goes. Baseball is a momentum sport. He had a couple...

    Yeah, I also think there's a very good chance they don't make it at all. Warriors, Clips, Blazers, Mavs, Griz, Rockets, Spurs, Pelicans??? I think those teams make it. Kings and Suns will end up with better records than a number of EC playoff teams and be left on the outside. Things can...

    To play devil's advocate for Kobe - Jordan's numbers in Washington (on similarly terrible teams) were only marginally better. He shot just over 41% his first season there but still jacked up 22 shots a game. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd expect Kobe's shots to come down a bit (currently 24.5 a game...

    Not one good starter, one great starter. But they got there for the same reason the Royals did (without a single great starter?): superb bullpens. But the Giants also had a more solid lineup, experience, and arguably the top manager in the game right now. You never know what will happen in...

    If you don't want to carry a bigger screen around that's one thing, but the SP3 is actually lighter than the SP1 and 2. Still, I'm guessing they won't totally scrap the smaller form factor cause there are plenty of others who prefer it.

    They should just go all out with classes and combat in landmark. That way the landmark "beta" doubles even more as an EQN alpha and when EQN is finally ready for beta it should be more polished. It would also attract more players to Landmark and build more hype for EQN when it eventually...
