    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    Michael Keaton looked good in the trailers, was pretty sure he'd nail his character. Excited for it.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    At this point I'd say Kuznetsov is a franchise player for the Caps. Backstrom and Ovechkin probably just as important offensively the next couple years, but before the end of the contract I expect Kuznetsov to be the #1 center and best player on the team. As for Shattenkirk, sounds a lot like...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    When you say no room for Shatt to do his thing...he literally was playing right between the two you mentioned, Backstrom on the half wall, and Ovechkin over by the right circle. Pretty sure Shattenkirk put up a lot of PP points in short time with us. I just think he wants a bigger role at...

    I think the term is better than the dollars to be honest. He didn't show me enough in his time here to trust him with as big a role as I think he thinks he should get. Meanwhile we gave too much term and money to Oshie, and maybe even Kuznetsov. Love locking Kuzy up for 8 years, was hoping he...

    Fucking GMGM picked Schmidt in the expansion draft. Could have lived losing Grubauer since he was never going to start here with Holtby. Schmidt was a solid guy on the back end who was cheap. Meanwhile Pens get out of Fleury's contract. Didn't see what other "big" contracts Vegas is taking...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe it's because I came into HW later (either just before or just after 3.3), but I felt Stormblood's story was superior. I loved all the dragon history, and the war between them and Ishgard, but with how epic the end of ARR was, felt like they pinned themselves in a corner with HW's story...

    I was thinking the country might get a semi origin story (how it's tech stayed hidden for so long, etc), but that it will continue his story as well.

    Kind of like Klay Thompson, only really showed up for 2 games in the Finals. Green didn't exactly light it up either. Was mostly the Durant and Curry show.

    Black Panther (2018)

    The movie I want to see Winter Soldier in next is the obvious Buddy Cop film with Falcon that they built up throughout Civil War. Regarding Black Panther though, this going to be part origin story I assume, followed by picking up where the character left off after CW?

    With Game 6 back in Cleveland I'd put it more likely than not. Then again, so far the only win they have in the series is when Lebron's teammates shoot 57% from 3 and break the Finals record for 3's. So who knows.

    Did you even read what I posted last time? I mentioned that his '07 team was weak as hell and he shouldn't take much heat for that alone. I did note that even Iverson took a game off the Lakers with arguably a team just as bad around him...and if you get swept another time, you can't be talked...

    Going to have to defend Sid here. Playing a sport where it's far tougher to win championships. 3-1 career Finals record (versus Lebron's about to be 3-5). First team to win back to back titles in 19 years. There's no comparison, Crosby > Lebron.

    Well you knew that was coming. Followed up by Sid getting a 2nd Conn Smythe over Malkin (most points in the playoffs, 2nd most goals), and Guentzel (most goals in the playoffs). 2 years in a row I'd argue other guys on his own team deserved it more.

    Kyrie with 5 less points than Lebron in the series. Outside of one game he's shown up at least as well offensively as Lebron. Honestly thought he was Cavs best player last 2 games overall. For all Lebron's stats his 4th quarter scoring dried up completely in Games 1-3. Not sure how many he...

    They ain't losing tonight the way they are shooting. Would take a similar shooting effort from GS in 2nd half (not that they can't, but unlikely)...along with a collapse from the Cavs' end.

    Swept TWICE Itlan. TWICE. And it's still an IF. They easily could have won Game 3 the other night. Christ you ignore the important points all the time. He gets mostly a pass for '07 because that wasn't even when the Cavs (back then) were hitting their stride yet. That said, even Iverson...

    There's only holes if you ignore the obvious, that those Cavs teams had the best record in the NBA 2 years running. Durant was not on the best team in the West. It was another superstar that he did not mesh completely with, this was no secret. I will talk about not being able to get it done...

    It's not the same as what Durant did. Durant didn't leave the best team in the league 2 years running because he personally couldn't get it done to go build an even better superteam. Durant left a team that wasn't the best team in the league (on which he had a rocky relationship with the other...

    Got a link to page that shows these stats? I can find a breakdown for overall playoffs but not just the Finals. Jordan has a better career FG% overall in the playoffs currently, but can't find a list for just the Finals. 8 more games played still a larger factor for me.
