    Leaning towards Rey being a Darth clone created by Palpatine or Plagueis (Snoke) with the intent of making a more perfect Vader they could mold from youth, but the force intervenes and makes it a female and the Sith are not down with this and throw her on a desert planet with fat boy so that...

    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...

    Says who? Its not written anywhere what the MVP should be, that's why there's often so much debate about it. Everybody has their own idea on what criteria should be used.

    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...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I 3-box TAKP emu server on a Surface Pro 4 Core M (fanless), probably with most setting all the way down. Keep in mind that since there's no touch interface you're going to have to use the flimsy tablet keyboards all the time. It works, but its not always the best experience. Using a USB or...

    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...

    NCAA Tournament Challenge Bracket - ESPN

    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...

    Refs made that second half nearly unwatchable. Foul foul foul foul foul... both teams in the bonus with over 14 minutes left.. foul foul foul foul... Ugly title game, bring on the NBA playoffs. I wish the NBA would implement the same rule MLB has... if you don't enter the draft straight out...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    6.5/10 Not great but enjoyed it. Never saw the anime. Found myself really pondering during it how much reality is going to resemble this world they're portraying in another 50 years or something. Certain key elements like augmented reality and human augmentation are in their absolute infancy...

    The Circle (2017)

    I found the book to be pretty bad. You spend 75% of it wading through this believable portrayal of a social media company, waiting for something interesting to happen. The concluding events I found to be unbelievable, not very interesting, and made me hate pretty much every character in the...

    Jordan never had to lobby to the media and league to have his nemesis suspended in order turn a series he was otherwise going to lose. Lebitch is not Legoat. As was already mentioned, if the guy doesn't get a couple very lucky breaks he's 1-5 in the finals to this point. The only finals...

    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...

    Stephen Adams easily. The one guy on OKC i'd love to have. Doesn't get as many easy buckets as Kanter but he's just as efficient offensively and pretty good on D. Oladipo is garbage.

    I'd have Kawhi #1, Harden #2, Lebron #3, WB #4. KD was in the top three for the first half but his efficiency slowed down a bit and then the injury =(... Kawhi though.. dude is winning games on both ends of the court, has his team only 2 games back of the Warriors even though he was the only...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    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.

    No, I believe what they said is that these type of stars (including this one) are very active when they are young and it would have been rough on the planets at that time. But if they survived that active period ok, the star is now and will basically forever be quiet.

    Thing is, the Kings are in a poor position to start a rebuild. I think the Sixers may actually be the biggest winners of the trade. They have the right to swap picks with the Kings this year, a Kings pick that suddenly has a much better shot to hit a ball for a top 3 pick. They also have the...

    If the Sixers get a top 3 and the Lakers fall out of the top 3 that should be the scariest assembly of young talent since OKC before they dealt Harden, and could potentially end up better. But then there are a couple other teams with great young talent that you could say the same thing about...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    OC's seem to overthink things too much when going up against Brady. First the Seahawks with the slant, and then this. Easy to second guess after the fact, but wow. Still cannot believe they put themselves in a position to take like a 12-yard sack there.

    Lol yeah. Green was a +43 last night. If Lebron hadn't gotten in his head he might have put up a +50, good job Bron. Lebron -32. Lebron's worst ever +/- games have come against the Warriors the last two years, this one and had a -34 almost a year ago exactly.

    He's a bitch. 70% of the contact he gets he creates on his own. Was amazed they actually called an offensive foul on him tonight for pushing off. Toronto has an outside shot of taking them down, Cavs can't sleep on those guys. Especially if Toronto were to somehow manage to get the top seed.

    Good thing we know the regular season games don't mean much since the Dubs swept the Cavs in those last year. All that matters is whether the NBA can find another reason to suspend one of our players when we're up 3-1 again next June. Cavs don't win last year without NBA help, just like they...

    Eh... 1Q18 sounds unrealistically optimistic. They're hedging on even guaranteeing pre-alpha access by 2Q17. Say pre-alpha access does start 2Q17 - you'd think it'd take at least a year to go from there to release, maybe more? I'm looking back at Vanguard (maybe a bad example since as was...
