Yeah like... Give lebron the two and guard the three. Not hard.

Taj is has taken like 10 points off the board.

Finally a good crowd at the uc

That was some classic NBA giving that ball to the cavs

Looks like knee on knee. Makes me feel a bit better

Man. Please no. Even with he's decline he's the Bulls to me.

Lol it's game 1 guys.

Ball don't lie

That was a horrible call

Marv sounds bored and tired. It's causing Reggie to talk 90% of the time

Kinda worried about Jimmy. He's been in a brutal cold streak.

Nvm Doug is God, Im all in again.

For all the yay offense talk you'd think we'd have more than 39 after 20 minutes

Yeah no more of that. Blame the guy who named it the films thread instead of movies thread.

Mirotic still foul happy

That's insane. - BigEd's post not SS2k5s

So overtime is must watch TV now.

I also remember crying and whining about how Aaron Rowand could not handle the slider low and outside and was ruining the series for us! Man that was intense. We were up 3-0 and up until Jermaine Dye's hit i was miserable.

I'm jealous. I was so pumped for last year. Reminds me of the sox this year. I went in last year thinking we finally had all this shooting and depth, then I look at the same team this year and think "man we have no shooting or depth". And to think, we were up by 10 points to the cavs in the fourth quarter with 8 minutes to go up 2 games to 1, and Lebron had just rolled his ankle.

in other words, good luck getting to the game.

Hold me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) I don't think it has anything to do with compromise, but more of what is most popular. What was right was to overturn the ban on gays in the military, but it wasn't popular, so they didn't do it. There are all kinds of stories about how closely the Clintons pay attention to polling numbers, and shaped policy around them while Bill was President. I have no reason to believe Hillary would be any different. Yeah I wrote "no compromise" but meant no action when no action would have been better to ultimately get to the right move faster. I think you are right but ultimately that's largely fine. When you look at Obama with gay marriage, he basically set up the court and government so that popular support could tip the scale as much as possible. DADT actually made it harder to get the right think done. Clinton is valuable largely because she will play nice defense for Obama policies. I don't trust her to pass anything meaningful it many piecemeal bills.

I actually think Hillary, and by her I mean her husband's, biggest weakness was was willingness to accept a bad compromise over no compromise. DADT probably lengthened the time it took to remove bans on homosexuality in the military as it made it seem like "something" was done. She is the coach that always recruits the 2 stars that she knows she can woo vs ever attempting to hit a 4 star game changer. OTOH, she's a politician. And that can be a bad thing, it was bad when the "reasonable" position was to be a hawkish democrat. But it also means she pays attention to the base wants and what will help her sell. With Obama, people kept thinking there would be an American President moment where he inspires politicians to give up their long-held beliefs for...basically nothing. With Hillary, we know that won't happen. Obama put a lot of effort into pushing popular support into congressional action. Hillary is going to put a lot more effort into institutional action IMO. But I may be off. Frankly Obama was the first real president to have to deal with a lack of any pork in congress. There isn't much horsetrading to be done. Maybe we are just living in a delusion now that has not crashed, where the whole nation thinks the President can get things done, and the institution is just not set up for that.

I drove all the way home to chicago to watch game 1 with my brother and then drove back at 4:30am to get my first class at 11 the next day (missed it). Really, really sucked missing being in Chicago for it, but did get WGN at school to watch parad.e

Man you guys are optimistic. I don't know, I think wiz/bucks are going to be better. We'll get into playoffs but that's it.
