    NBA 2017-2018 Season Thread

    Sure you can. And I just did, cause he also led the league in FGA even though he's a poor, not very efficient shooter. Westbrook attacking the hoop is a great play. Westbrick dribbling around and chucking a jumper is a relatively low efficiency play that happens too often.

    NBA 2017-2018 Season Thread

    I'd put it more like he cares about winning, tries his best to help his team do that and in the process puts up a ton of stats with his insane usage, but doesn't realize that maybe him having insane usage is not necessarily the best route for the team to be successful. Two pretty good offensive...

    Not wild about a couple of the potential first round matchups out there with Steph probably being out still, especially Thunder. Not counting on Harden / Paul playoff history to be indicative of what we see this year either. That team only knows how to win games right now. Sixers are...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    7.5/10. Hadn't read the book in a while so I only remembered the gist of it. It was a fun, entertaining movie. Favorite part was the Shining key I think, it was really f'ing cool. Unfortunately every kid out there who sees this movie will have never seen the Shining (and even probably a good...

    Gonna be very disruptive if Starlink really goes live by 2024 (which i highly doubt but am hopeful for.) We're talking 1 Gbps wireless access for virtually anywhere on the planet. Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, etc all have to be scared to death that this may become a reality in the near future...

    Shot Caller (2017)

    Just watched this on Amazon Prime. This movie is fucking raw. It will stick with you after you watch it. Highly recommended. Maybe its partly because I had zero expectations before watching, but i'd give it like 9/10.

    They said another dungeon is coming in Pre-alpha 3. Can't wait til Pre-alpha 20 in 10 years when they'll have a similar amount of content as EQ at release! Didn't know who Jim Lee is until this stream, but yet another dude that seems to have liked the everpresent feeling of danger in og EQ...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Don't really care if the graphics don't look like the top of the line current MMO's. It'd be nice but, I'll take interesting gameplay over gorgeous graphics all day. ESO looks amazing yet bores the shit out of me. So boring it feels like a chore to play.

    The tank is too strong with Memphis. 17 straight losses in a league with a lot of bad teams who have no incentive to win right now. That's impressive.

    Black Panther (2018)

    6/10 Movie wasn't very good, not really worth going into the details on. I only really wanted to see it so that I wasn't missing anything going into Infinity War, probably wasn't even worth it for that. I did appreciate the Tim Hardaway reference at the beginning of the movie when Killmonger...

    Jalen Rose was saying a month+ back that he heard Kawhi wanted out due to the way the team was handling his injury and whatever else. Its possible he's unhappy enough there that he would rather rest than risk further injury try to help the team out, hoping to put enough pressure on them to...

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Rockets get the 1 seed. Our guys seem to need extra motivation this year, more people getting behind the Rockets could help with that. Team has enough talent that they should be able to win any series even without home court.

    NBA 2017-2018 Season Thread

    Cavs improved their shot this year for sure, I think they'll again be the favorite to make it out of the East after we see how they all play together. That said, I think Lebron staying will hinge on where that Brooklyn pick lands. If it lands top 3 and Lebron could be playing with an immediate...

    Yes, have tried re-watching it a few times too. Furthest I've gotten is a bit into the second season I think. Maybe it just hadn't been long enough when I tried. I've been re-watching through BSG again after 12-15 years and can't get enough.

    That was crazy watching the first two boosters come down to land side by side. They were showing bird's eye view from each and they looked identical, were moving in unison. Awesome.

    How is Bagley a tweener? He's 6'11 235 lbs, can probably play 3 positions in today's NBA. His shot doesn't look bad, he'll probably take 3's more frequently in the NBA. I also compared Bagley to a better shooting Ben Simmons a while back. He's a solid shooter and a good ball handler for a...

    NBA 2017-2018 Season Thread

    I thought Westbrook would be picked last. He's a ballhog in all star games, why would anybody want to play with him? But another list i saw that wasn't alpha made it look like Lebron may have picked him first after the starters, where Steph's first two picks listed after starters were Klay and...

    I remember reading it back when, but some of this is funny again in retrospect. Like they had the Cavs going to umpteen straight finals in the same years even though they didn't know Lebron would go back to the Cavs and he wasn't on those simulated Cavs teams. Seeing Lebron on Lakers playing...

    Yeah. I was opting towards Porter Jr. before the surgery, but Bagley is a can't miss star so it probably ends up being him unless Porter unexpectedly comes back and plays some. 10 years ago Ayton would have hands down been the #1 pick of this draft class, but in today's world he's probably...

    Doncic will be a bust, there's no way he's getting picked before Porter Jr. Anyways, its anybody's guess at this point how the draft order ends up. Lakers are 2nd worst now but there are about 10 teams separated by only 4-5 wins and a lot of games to go. Lakers have seemingly had a drop off...

    Tatum's 3P % has been damn impressive, only finally dropping below 50% lately. He seems to be in that Melo / Jabari Parker (if he can ever stay healthy) line of SF's that can just flat out score, but so far at least is happy to be a role player on a deep well coached team which is allowing him...

    Still angry about this. Rian Johnson gets gifted with the opportunity to do a Star Wars movie and he shits on everything Luke Skywalker stood for for the sake of being different. Enormously wasted opportunity. JJ Abrams put the ball on a T for him and the dude struck out. Continue Luke's...
