    Manchego is fantastic. Pairs very well with prosciutto. I'm not the biggest blue cheese fan, but Humboldt Fog is very good

    Still not convinced we have this. But the ball movement tonight was refreshing. I like that the Warriors stuck by the strategy despite the poor early shooting percentage. Way less iso ball. On to Game 7.

    Why the fuck is Kerr resting any of our All Stars at all? It's do or die motherfucker. This series loss is primarily on him. He's getting owned.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I was talking strictly about Solo. And I thought y'all were too. I thought Last Jedi was pretty shitty and I do agree on that point. I just think it's unwarranted with Solo. Beyond the little girl rebel leader which I already hated on. I stand by Solo matching the character.

    Nu metal was primarily garbage but there were a couple gems. System of a Down is legit.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Caught an early 9am showing. I liked it. Thought the movie fit the character very well. A fun action flick - exactly what a movie based around Solo should be. You guys are also so predictable. Walking back from the theater I knew you neckbeards were going to complain about SJW shit and here...

    The LBJ haters will never stop. The dude is fucking unbelievable. I'm too young to truly remember Jordan's dominance but LeBron is the best I've ever seen. When I say that around here people look at me with disgust because I guess as a Warriors fan I'm supposed to hate the guy, but I don't...

    Durant needs to stop playing like Westbrook in close games. He's going all hero ball and forgetting that he has phenomenal teammates that he can share the ball with. Almost every time the ball lands in KD's hands the ball movement stops completely and he goes iso. He has zero assists. Kerr...

    If CP3 misses the rest of the series it's probably over for the Rockets. He's been their best player. Great defense and clutch offense. Harden - as usual come playoff time - has been mostly garbage. Outside of Game 1 (a loss) he's been pretty ineffective. Now watch Eric Gordon score 45...

    Warriors finally got back to ball movement halfway through the second. Need a classic third quarter explosion and actually keep the lead this time. Shit is nerve wracking.

    Houston's defense was lockdown in the fourth. The lack of ball movement in the losses has been telling. Warriors are not an iso team and they keep going to it when down so far in this series. And that only works when Durant is unconscious. Concern has moved from slightly to moderately. I...

    It was immediately after Kerr came in. I don't think I'm giving him too much credit. Unless you think in the 5 months between Dubs getting eliminated by the Clips and the start of the next season Klay, Green, and Curry all simultaneously developed to the dominant force they are now.

    Yeah Kerr is the one who changed everything. It was pretty much the exact same team that got eliminated in the first round to champions the very next year. Kerr implemented small ball, ball movement, moved Iguodala to the bench, and made Green a starter. He instantly made the team a dominant...

    Warriors signed two key FAs - and one of those (Iguodala) was like five years ago. That's it. They drafted almost all of their players and built the team around them. They got lucky that Durant was available while Curry was on his high-risk high-reward contract. And Green was on a contract...

    Curry was forced to defer a ton in Game 1. Took the third most shot attempts on the team and had over half as many assists as shot attempts. He only attempted five threes. That's half his season average. They were focused on running him off the line and playing physical. Klay and Durant...
