I loved it. Such a fantastic stand alone movie and it does a great job setting up the rest of the trilogy. I'll save the rest of my thoughts for when spoilers are allowed but I couldn't be happier right now.

Leron Black out indefinitely now. Another guy who will likely be redshirting for Illinois.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) I get the feeling that they want to give him more time before pegging him as a platoon OF or giving up and moving him. I sure hope not. If you are making this type of move you shouldn't be going into next year with a guy who is likely going to be a massive hole in the lineup.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) Too bad we couldn't send Avi to the Dodgers instead of Trayce Kenny must still think Avi is a 300/30/100 guy More likely the Dodgers prefer Trayce to Avi.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) The Sox farm system just went down a couple of pegs. I really liked Micah and Montas who was throwing 100 at a game I was at. Trayce is overrated but would be a great 4th OF. I feel like the Sox have to acquire an outfielder now with the moves they made. You can't trade a decent package for Frazier and then go into next year starting Cabrera and Avi in the corners who are both just absolutely dreadful defensively.

I won't read any of them for fear of spoilers but it is getting amazing reviews.

Has anyone here actually spent a lot of time building up their settlements in Fallout? I love the game and have done a ton of exploring and I think I've played a lot of the main side quests (just from taking a quick look on wiki sites) but I just can't get into building up the settlements at all.

Warriors streak about to end.

Terrible offensive half for the Bulls against the worst defensive team in the NBA.

What a ridiculous overpay. I really wonder what the Sox could get for Quintana with what teams have been giving up for guys this offseason.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Clippers are a mess like us. Their bench is f***ing awful and Mbah A Moute may be the worst starter in the NBA.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) I absolutely agree but honestly, who cares? This roster has needed a huge overhaul forever and it never happens. Until that happens we're stuck and just to be clear, I'm not ready to give up on Fred after 20 games but he's certainly been bad so far. Edit: yeesh, that post was all over the place. I'm not giving up on Hoiberg yet either. I've just been pointing out that the offensive bump we were sold that we would see hasn't been there at all and the offense looks worse than it did under Thibs.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) They don't have like any players that fit what he wants to do offensively. Bottom line is, regardless of the coach, this team isn't a contender. What players does he need to fit his offense? This roster isn't a title contender and it is not an amazing offensive roster but there is no way they should be as bad as they are on that end.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) Are they worse on offense? I know defensively they are worse for sure. Way worse offensively than they were last year and their offensive efficiency right now is lower than any year under Thibs, even years where he didn't have Rose at all and Butler wasn't a start yet. They were actually 11th in the NBA in offensive efficiency last year with an offensive rating of 107.5. This year they rank 27th right now. They have actually been better on defense so far this year than they were last year though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Aside from giving more time to Mcdermott (which, with Dunleavy injured, would have likely happened with Thibs anyway), can anyone point to any criticism of Thibs that Hoiberg has "corrected". I think he is playing guys a little less and giving people a little more rest but otherwise they basically look like the same team (just worse on offense) that they were under Thibs.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Yeah I just saw him on NBA League Pass, he's ranked 2nd in 3PT% entering tonight at 47%, even ahead of Steph Curry, how crazy is that. It's crazy only in that I don't think Snell is as good as his percentage but he does nothing but take ridiculously wide open shots and they are all catch and shoot whereas Curry is taking and making ridiculous shots on a routine basis.

That call went the Bulls way but I hate that call so much. Butler shouldn't be rewarded from moving forward into the defender on that play when the defender never moved into his space.

Mirotic just isn't a good ball handler. He really can't create at all when people don't bite on his pump fake (which no one should since he isn't a good shooter).

Even when Mirotic makes 3s his jumper looks terrible.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:14 PM) Tony Snell has a distinctive thud when he bricks threes. I know this because I hear it a lot He is actually shooting very well from 3 this year. The problem is he sucks at everything else on the court.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) Brewers and Reds gonna battle for that #1 spot. Another season where Cardinals/Cubs/Pirates all will top 90 wins. The Braves will be in the mix as well.

That is an unbelievably awful trade for the Diamondbacks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 05:31 PM) In what world is a GM going to call a player, get his dad, and then still outline his contract offer to him? Also worth noting is that Saad's father is native Syrian, who moved here at age 18. I am guessing at best he is ESL, so the likelihood his being involved in his son's contract negotiations directly have to be pretty slim. And even if it is true getting $6 million annually vs $5 million annually is a huge raise. Yes, it is a ton of money either way but we aren't talking about a guy getting MLB star money where $1 million a year isn't as big of a deal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) 7 years and $150 million is "incredibly team friendly" to me compared to what he'll get if he's actually a free agent after 2019. If you thought he was healthy and you could ink him to that deal...you could again be calling it "still a great bargain" in 2020. Only reason why you wouldn't do that if he was willing...is health. Yep. Based on the Price and Greinke contracts if Sale hits free agency while healthy and without regressing in 2019 he will be looking at a 7 or 8 year deal with an AAV of over $30 million.

Huge fan of the movies and I'm not sure I've ever been as excited for a movie as I am for the Force Awakens. Wasn't quite sure how to answer my viewing experience for the original trilogy because my first time watching those was on VHS but I watched all 3 in theaters when they were re-released in 1997.
