    C's have the second highest ceiling in the NBA this season and after 90 games they might finally be putting it together.

    Steph isn't a Kevin Love-sized liability, correct. Klay is a good (great) defender; Curry is capable as far as I'm concerned.

    2018-2019 NBA Thread

    Curry may or may not be actual trash. It's hard to say how much he's improved over the years because the Warriors hide him extremely well with their defensive schemes. He plays alongside Klay, who is an All-NBA defender, and so never has to defend his opponent's best guard. The Warriors also...

    Cap your weekly tomes. This is your #1 priority. You're capped at 900 of the good tomes per week, which is a piece or two. Running any content gives you tomes; Eureka is the most mindless but your daily roulettes might be more engaging. Run the EX dungeons. Group level gear is decent. Run your...

    These models would not be impressive in 2002. What sort of kool aid do I need to drink to think this BIG REVEAL convinces me to drop money into Pantheon to support its development?

    The lenses are pretty bad. Besides the fact the material doesn't have great clarity, their coatings are sub-par leading to less clarity, more glare, more scratches (= compounding the lack of clarity clarity), more smudges, attract more oils and general grime, and will wear off sooner. For the...

    The fuck? Do you even Ultimate? This is such a cop out. Let's just agree to disagree. This is an easy statement to agree with, but I imagine we disagree about the when it's okay to play speedy part. However, for 98% of the playerbase, it's never okay to play speedy. If you aren't fighting...

    Take your new vision insurance from your new job, go to your local optometrist and get a prescription for computer glasses. Get your computer glasses made with a BlueTec filter. It's a stupid tiny add-on for $15. Specific Rx for your computer and a blue light filter will do wonders.

    49-46 on all scorecards surprises me. That's about as generous as they could've been to Dustin. 155 now has Khabib who's never lost, Tony Ferguson has won 11 in a row in the UFC, and Dustin has what 7 in a row now, and none of these guys have fought each other.

    Yup. Dustin made the mistake of fighting with his back against the fence. That is a death spot for Max's opponents and he can't get caught there again. I'm predicting a split decision at this point. Not out of the question that some judge has this 40-36 for Dustin and we'll get an awesome Dana...

    With the MSQ skip, the game isn't feeding you level appropriate gear as you level. Most of your roulettes will also give you garbage. The only relevant gear you were getting was the 1-3 pieces you'd get from the highest level dungeon. It's all fine until Aurum Vale, though. The ARR dungeons are...

    Leveling roulette should take 15-20 minutes. You're the tank, you generally control the speed of the group. Your roulette should give you a little more than 1 level. After that, spam the highest level dungeon available to you. Each run should be ~1 level and take no longer than 20 minutes...

    It's a win/win for Dana and the UFC as it either builds up the popularity and legitimacy of Cejudo/125, bringing in more revenue to the company or the opposite. The UFC would rather sell cards with 125 main events and big draws instead of fringe #13 vs #15 contenders at say 170.

    Dancer should be good for the game. Allows them to differentiate the ranged DPS classes between selfish (Machinist) and selfless (Dancer), with Bard in between. I'll be happy if Machinist gets a good rework out of it. Couldn't care much about Dancer per se.
