Ha. I know. I'm dumb. But fixed now.

Warriors in 6. Blow out city in games 1 and 2. Cleveland takes game 3. Then they trade off wins

How can anyone root for a guy that plays like this? The one with Paul George (1:45) is so awful. Yeah, he makes amazing plays. He's an amazing player. But he's a guy that is SO good and SO athletically gifted he doesn't need to resort to this crap. This is reason #1 why I don't like him and don't root for him. The Decision, going to Miami, his dominance of the Bulls, etc. are far down the list.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 31, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) I'm with GS, even though it will ever so slightly reduce the Bulls' legacy. I find that whole squad in Cleveland to be unlikable and I won't cheer for them. Draymond Green wants me to not like GS, but I'm not there yet. This is where i'm at.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 31, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) I'll be pulling hard for LeBron. This should be a good series. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving need to hit their open shots. Yuck, why?

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 31, 2016 -> 09:52 AM) 2 things: The Dany scene was important because she's embracing being a conqueror and finally actively leaving Essos. I actually think the Waif is the one that failed the test. Arya can pay for the life spared with the Waif's life. What test did the Waif have?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 31, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) So does Arya defeat the faceless girl person and is granted her freedom or does she then join the faceless men? I think she will be running from them for the rest of her life. That's the impression I got from Benioff and Weiss in their episode summary. Queue up the terrible, tragic death in 12 episodes.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 30, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) I've said for a while I can't stand Dany. Too holy, but the episode had a lot of cool moments, just as a lot of you have said an awful end. Than again, there was a lot of cool Stark storylines and I like the Starks. They've replaced Dany boring us to death in Meereen with her boring us to death in the desert. If she didn't have a dragon, she'd be the most boring character in the show.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ May 27, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) They tried to act like there was some legitimate reason for outing him when they did that, too. Gay man is gay, not bothering anyone. WE MUST EXPOSE HIM I'm relatively certain Gawker also blasted Grantland for outing that Dr. V person. There was quite a double standard there, which is why Gawker can go f*** themselves. They wanted to get the splashy, tabloid headline. Now they don't want to deal with the consequences.

So the Hogan verdict and judgment amount were upheld this week. Denton just posted a letter to Thiel in what amounts to a whiny, inaccurate, freezing speech argument. Man, f*** that guy. You outed a rich person and didn't expect him to try and ruin you?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) I know he isn't the same Jo Noah as years past, but I don't see how you can look at the effort level differences between this season and the previous one and not feel like Noah being gone was a large part of that. Making a free throw doesn't take effort.

Prepping for a trial that starts next week

I have several friends that stayed at home into their mid to late 20's, even after they had really good career jobs. Their parents were not only fine with it, they preferred it. Those guys were able to pay off their student loans and save up a ton of money in the process. When they finally married their respective girlfriends and/or decided to move in with them, they were able to do it debt free and with enough cash for a sizeable down payment. I'm jealous they had that option. I never really did since I decided to go to law school and my now-wife and I moved in together so she could start her career.

I'm like this in certain situations. It's less about the fear of speaking with strangers than it is not knowing what to say in certain situations. Funerals give me panic attacks almost. I hate every second of them. I don't know what to say to people. Even extended family funerals with a handful of people I know i'm still uncomfortable. And it's funny because I fully realize and understand that no one cares about me, they're obviously there for the dead person's family, but it doesn't matter. I'm still freaked out over it. This spring all of my son's daycare friends started to turn 4, so parents started to have more birthday parties. Those things are also brutal. Each one is the same - go to some indoor playground facility or fieldhouse with inflated bouncy houses, or businesses devoted to kid parties and the let the kids run around for an hour while the parents all stand around and try to make small talk. My wife drops the kid off 90% of the time so she knows all of the kids in his class by name and she knows most of the parents. I know no one and very few of the kids. It's awful. Luckily the parties are only 2 hours long and then everyone leaves.

Kendrick Nunn....he gawn!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 23, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) Almost every Illinois fan I talk to wants Nunn off the team. He's expendable with JCL. And frankly he's just an average big ten player. He shows flashes but isn't consistent. Ask those same Illinois fans about Black and I bet it's a different answer. They need another front court player and Black still has potential to be a good one.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 23, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) He plead to a lesser charge, that does NOT mean the other charge was untrue. The truth will never be known. He plead guilty to simple battery, not domestic battery. edit: in my prior post I meant to say "the charges weren't proven true." Whitman has some technical room to wiggle through if he wants.

Eh, the charges weren't true. He plead to a lesser charge. There's wiggle room there to explain why he's suspended v. kicked off the team.

DV is a terrible crime, but it's not any worse than pulling a knife and putting it on someone's neck. If Black is still on the team with a suspension, I don't see how Nunn is kicked off the team.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 23, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) Brann is going to destroy the wall like a big dummy Yeah, they have to invade south so Dany's dragons can kill them all to end the series.

I bought my guys Busted Tee's shirts based on something they've done or said in the past or something that fit their personality. It was cheap, but IMO more personal than a branded flask or whatever that seem to be typical gifts.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 23, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) It was so obvious it was intentional. Agreed. There's no natural way to make that move.

The cave did because of some CoF or Blood Raven protection, but I wasn't aware that The Wall had a similar protection.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) Bran is going to have a hell of a time going south now that Hodor is gone. If he goes past the Wall, will that break the protection spells and allow the Walkers to go through? Is that a thing?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 23, 2016 -> 06:05 AM) I think Meera got it in the neck, the CotF stabbed into the armor I just want to see if I got this right. The CotF feared the humans, so they created white walkers, and that quickly spun out of control, so then they created nights watch? According to the interwebs:
