    Isn't Casterly Rock very much out of the way, assuming they come from the East? She must hit multiple locations fast, looks like her and Tyrion are standing in the strategy room of Dragonstone? Unless Casterly Rock has a room that looks almost exactly the same, which it might since they are...

    I'd be very surprised if they looked to ship him this summer. He's had a bad shooting playoffs, but he still plays the D and always has the potential to go off for 30+ without needing the ball in his hands a lot. Time and again we see that the Warriors org rates Klay higher than most fans. A...

    RIP Chris Cornell

    Man. Playing with his band that he created 27 years ago in tribute to the passing of his friend Andrew Wood, a song in tribute to Layne Staley just 6 months ago. You can see him share a moment with McCready, who was also in Mad Season with Staley.

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    5.5 / 10. I actually kinda liked Prometheus, this not so much. At least in Prometheus I was interested and wanted to know what happened next. The ending of this one leaves me not caring as much. For those that wanted another Alien movie, I guess this is better?

    RIP Chris Cornell

    Cornell wrote all the Audioslave vocals but the songwriting process was totally collaborative. He took the lyrics into the studio, and they'd all sit together and create songs around them over just 2-3 weeks for every album.

    Wrote this for Singles in like 1991? He didn't even know they had put it in Man of Steel 20+ years later until his son told him. Pretty cool.

    What a shitty headline to wake up to today, I hoped i was reading it wrong when I saw it. Not just a great singer, but easily the most talented musical creator from that scene. I loved songs from almost everything he worked on.. ToD, Soundgarden, Audioslave, movie singles, and some of his solo...

    Popovich is for sure the greatest NBA coach ever, and most of the time the things he says make sense. But he's a hypocrite on this for being ok with Bruce Bowen making a career out of wrecking dudes ankles in much more blatant fashion as a member of the Spurs. Zaza's past transgressions to...

    Its good I can look back on these moments now and say if not for those the Warriors wouldn't be where they are today. Lets not forget the Warriors could have drafted KG in the first place but took Joe Smith #1 that year. Interesting thing about Chris Cohan (one of the worst owners ever)...

    I'm fine with it. Warriors owe the Spurs some payback for decades of getting beat down, and we don't have to watch Harden flop around for 5 games. Looking forward to a good series. Spurs are going to have to have some role players play well to have any chance. Jonathon Simmons had a career...

    Harden just looked at what lied ahead. Win that game, he has to make another trip to SA. Probably lose that one, but on the off chance they would have won, what's the reward? Get eliminated but the Dubs for a third year in a row. He's like nah, I'll start my vacation now.

    The Warriors were an entertaining pile of garbage for decades. They're only in this position due to 3 great draft picks which included some kindness by the likes of the Wolves and Kings for picking guys like Rubio, Flynn, and Jimmer ahead of Curry and Klay. The Chris Paul to Lakers situation...

    Right, because OKC traded Harden for nothing, a year lost to injury, an inefficient superstar teammates to have to play with in Westbrook, and above all having a tougher path to get to the finals every year than Lebron does. If KD had been on superteams in the East for the past 7 years and...

    No idea how the Dallas series should have been a win.. Yeah, on paper Miami should not have lost with their super team against an aging 1-star team. That type of shit doesn't happen in the NBA. But Dallas was clearly the better team, Dirk was the most dominant player of those playoffs, and I...

    LOL. Should be 1 and 5. Injuries are not a reason to say he should have won a finals. They happen, and most of the all-time greats may have missed out on title chances due to them. But its fucking stupid to say if Irving and Love were healthy that they would have won. Who knows. Irving...

    I wouldn't vote for him, as I've watched almost every Dubs game this year and he just wasn't consistent enough (and I thought KD was the Warriors MVP for the first half of the season or so). But this is an interesting article making the case for Steph in comparison to the other candidates with...

    You lost me at the Jordan comparison. In terms of being a physically gifted freak guard with a relentless motor, sure. But he's so much less efficient than Jordan. While Westbrook is not the horrible level defender that Harden is, he's not exactly great. I'd call him an average defender...

    ALSO has zero-all star teammates. I'm saying that neither guy has a great cast to work with. How are Harden's #'s not every bit as crazy? Because he's not going out of his way to get two extra rebs per game? Their numbers are basically the same except that Westbrook averages two more rebs...

    Not really. Westbrook having an impressive finish to the season which may put him over the top, but Harden's overall season resume is still more impressive to me. Also has zero all-star teammates, putting up numbers every bit as crazy as Westbrook while being a much more efficient scorer, and...

    No. Because when you draft a guy with a lottery pick because of his upside even though he has no skills, you can't really send that guy down to the D-League for extended stints. They're making too much money, you have to keep them with the team and hope they learn from the bench and practice...

    Spurs keep teasing with near-losses and then winning in the last minute. It sucks. I don't know how you go down 28 in the first half at home to the Kings, but to do so and then come back without Kawhi and LA... why can't they just lose? Saturday is going to go a long way towards determining...

    Its the Star Wars equivalent of a horcrux. We find out in Ep 8 that Snoke = Palpatine = couldn't be killed because he bound himself to some bio hexacrypts! Ep 9 is Rey and her cohorts running around trying to find and destroy all the hexacrypts before killing Palpatine once and for all.
