Suspicious of Bam and Donovan being labelled the second best players on their teams.

I'm not sure the Spurs have a strategy of drafting guards so much as a strategy of best available regardless of position. Also, not sure anyone still cares, but out of curiosity I've been following Samanic a little bit. He got waived by the Knicks from his 2-way contract a couple weeks ago. Apparently plantar fasciitis kept him out of a ton of games. He was dominant in the G league when he played though -- 27ppg, 39% from deep, 54% from the field.

The replacements are the band that first made me question my music taste because I really like don't tell a soul and all their real fans clowned it.

He's right you know dot gif

I think if I were going to criticize my taste it would be that I'm a white dude listening mostly to white dudes sing about white dude shit. I guess I'm fine with that, but it's a thing.

She's a genius. I mean, maybe more risk of splashing milk when pouring the cereal in, but if you pour the milk and put it away first, adding the cereal second minimizes the time your delicious crunchy cereal spends getting soggy and disgusting.

This thread reminded me how long it's been since I listened to Wilco. Got YHF on right now and it's basically a perfect album.

Phoenix with solid defense, could be their year. Nets with a top 10 offense when their second best player has been a part timer and their third best player was a fat malcontent most of the season is pretty impressive. Thought Dallas was better on D than that, but I guess maybe not over the whole season. Again, I'm not disagreeing with the conclusion but saying LBJ had a healthy team is disingenuous and detracts from the strength of the point you're making.

I don't disagree with your overall point, but to say LeLakers have had a mostly healthy roster is a bit of a reach. Anthony Davis has only played in a hair over half their games this season. As the guy who was supposed to be their best or second best player that's pretty huge.

I generally agree but with one exception -- if someone willingly plays Nickelback I will mock away.

Ten years ago Wilco would have been in my top five. I go through a Florence and the machine kick every few months where I just listen to nothing but that for a couple days in a row and then forget about it for a while. I'm legitimately surprised by all the metal heads on here. I can appreciate the virtuosity of a lot of metal but I just don't really want to listen to it.

Lol. Bowie is so metal.

Oh yeah, I loved No Code. Hail Hail is one of my favorite PJ songs. I just kind of stopped looking for their next album after that.

I loved those bands as a kid (maybe not Earth Wind and Fire so much) but now in my sophisticated middle age the Eagles make me SMH. I think Seinfeld killed them for me.

15-25 years ago Pearl Jam would have been 1 through 5 for me, but after No Code my interest kind of waned. My Morning Jacket is a band that I came to late. It Still Moves is a top 20 album of the 2000s for me. Solid. I have a traditional country station on Pandora that is basically this. Toadies. Always forget them. One of the best albums of my youth, but the hit single about rape is hard for me to appreciate now as the father of a 16 yo girl.

Some jam-band douche impugned my musical tastes without even knowing what they might be. I don't give the first fuck what that guy thinks of my musical tastes but it has made me consider them. My tastes, like most I'm sure, have evolved over time. I'm going to list what I consider to be the five musicians/bands most representative of my current musical tastes and invite your mockery as well as the opportunity to return the favor. 1. Elliott Smith -- great songwriter, when he was on his game he was an underrated performer. Give me anything from Figure 8 or Either/Or on a desert island and I'm good. 2. Sixteen Deluxe -- Obscure, local/regional, but damn I love me some fuzzy indie rock 3. Frank Turner -- great songwriter with a punk edge, fucking great live shows 4. Sugar/Bob Mould -- The live version of Hoover Dam on the Sugar Besides collection bonus disk is among my favorite recordings of all time 5. Old 97s -- funny and poignant songwriting with fun rock and roll drive, amazing live shows

yes

Please keep making the point more obvious.

Of course you're a Phish fan.

Left foot was behind, right foot was on the line but he slid it back before jumping.

This take is going to age like milk. KD scored 38 pts on 15 shots tonight. Yes, Portland is dogshit, but KD is ridiculously efficient and ridiculously consistent. He's also a better defender than Luka.

Hahahahahaha
