2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) Yeah all of those were from vintage Gasol. He's just a turnover machine now. So the dozen of Pau to Jimmy alley-oops are just an example of his turnover machine-ness

2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) I want to go to a traditional college stadium next year. I was thinking LSU, Penn St, Ohio St, Alabama, Auburn, or Ole Miss. What are the best ones you all have been to? Which do you recommend? Note: I've already done USC, Notre Dame, Clemson, Tennessee and Michigan. Granted, I have no idea what's going on with Kyle Field, but I would love to see a game at Texas A&M

The Winter/Spring Weather Complaint Thread
QUOTE (SnB @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) I'll take it any day over the 2014 "don't go outside for 3 months" winter. Seriously. Any winter where after a few days of condensation freezing the sidewalks can melt is fine with me. That winter walking around took forever, as months of compacted ice was all you were walking on.

Not sure if I'm giving credit to the wrong guy (i.e. not sure if Abrams is attached) but I think the biggest strength of Abrams is a keen understanding of the excitement of cinema/movies as spectacle. His movies to me haven't held up well the farther you are removed from that manipulation spectacle of release, but it's nice to have someone aware of movies in culture.

Padres Sign Alexei Ramirez
QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 12:40 AM) There will be no defensive liability with Saladino. Period. That is what we know for sure. If he can give anything decent with the bat, then great. He's there for defense and that is what he will provide. Can't make excuses about Minne's death. We have no idea why he he had a down year. And if it was Minnie who ruined his year, (like his father in law a year or two ago), how do we know it won't happen again? What if his dog gets hit by a car? Or the cat gets stuck in a tree all season? Then it would be kick ground ball city. I love me some Lexi, but it was time. Hopefully we get another Cuban to replenish the roster. From all reports of those close to the team, Minnie's death severely affected Alexei in a way they saw previously with his brother in law. For some, death affects you differently. It's no reason to minimize someone with those stupid pet analogies just because you like a baseball team.

OKay okay, I didn't ride for Jimmy but nobody is going to put Paul George over him.

How long does it take to resolve this? I imagine months. Is water at that high of risk even unsafe to bathe in?

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) I dunno man, Jimmy moves without the ball. The backdoor layups/alleyoops he gets aren't from being an ISO player. I think Westbrook is overrated. And I'd bet his body is going to breakdown sooner rather than later. The amount that Kevin Durant is overrated on this board equals the amount that they underrate Westbrook.

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) I always look at best player in the following ways... - who do I take as the 1st pick in a one game playoff with my life on the line (LeBron) - who do I take as the 1st pick if I'm starting a franchise today (Kevin Durant) Curry is cute. He bombs threes. He also has an amazing supporting cast and still got taken to 6 games by the King without Love or Irving. GTFO with the flavor of the week and give me some real basketball analysis. Anyone that doesn't take steph curry with their first pick is a horrible GM. Are you Vlade Divac?

2015-2016 NBA Thread
Maybe Jimmy would get the ball more if he tried to play within the offense. Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol are basically the same player. Pretty good passers that only like to play getting Isos and transition plays. I'll still take Westbrook over Jimmy. He's great, he's smart, I love him as a Bull. But Westbrook can make any play anywhere on the court. Jimmy can make sure he gets a smaller guard and post them up, and do that a lot in a game. It's very effective, but if he were forced to up his usage rate, I don't think the Bulls would be a better team.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) Doesn't explain why Ren doesn't know who she is, or at least, he doesn't appear to know her whatsoever. He knows that you know that she doesn't know.
