  1. count me as another yes vote for Mark Few.
  2. has a good stream for these games ever emerged?
  3. that was masterfully done last night. i'm a pretty casual fan (though more into lately now that my nephew is getting really in to it), but that fully pulled me in for wrestlemania.
  4. didn't watch the fight last night, but sure sounds like davis got a gift by the ref not counting a knockdown when he took a knee.
  5. oh shit, Kabayel (another guy I'm not familiar with) had been dominated this whole fight with Zhang and then Zhang caught him with a big shot and put him on the ground. This card has been awesome through 1.5 fights
  6. i'm not familiar with this Buatsi guy, but this fight against Callum Smith is a fantastic slugfest.
  7. Sengun was fucking terrible last night and still ended up with 24 and 13. Jalen, Amen, and Jabari combined for 67 points on 57/53/71 shooting splits. A lot of moments of brilliance from those three and several moments of frustration as well. So is life in the NBA when you're built around four 21-23 year olds.
  8. yeah i was in the same boat. always meant to go back and re-watch it but never did.
  9. Bivol-Beterbiev 2 headlines a really solid card tomorrow and it's actually reasonably priced ($25.99). Thinking I'll just go ahead and buy this one rather than looking for a stream.
  10. is Bill Norton getting to come back? were we expecting that? https://x.com/billlnorton/status/1892331671698931977
  11. * I did a search and saw this mentioned in other threads, but did not see a specific thread dedicated to it. * I took the afternoon off yesterday and went and saw this in the theatre and thought it was fantastic. Not flawless, but very, very good. Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce were both great, the story was interesting enough to keep my attention, and the film was beautifully shot and put together. I loved that there was an intermission in the middle and really hope other 3+ hour movies start following suit. It really makes the thought of going to the theatre and watching an epic much more feasible than having to sit still/avoid going to the bathroom for 3 and half hours. I've only seen one other 2024 Academy Award nominee (Conclave), but this felt like an obvious best picture winner to me. I highly recommend it.
  12. the suns are going nowhere fast this year and the rockets have their pick. it could legitimately be a top 10 pick. maybe the rockets trade for KD on draft night and include that pick as part of the package? need to beat the warriors (another team going nowhere fast) tonight and close out the first "half" with a sense of momentum after that 6 game slide. only 28 games left to go in the regular season and the Rockets have a legit shot at 50 wins and a top 4 seed. we'd have all been ecstatic with that before the season. especially if we had known they'd do it without making any major moves and it was primarily due to this young core we've drafted and developed.
  13. is TJ Otzelberger tied to Iowa State in any meaningful way? if not, that feels like a guy who should be able to be pried away.
  14. If you were power rating the league right now, how would you rank the top 10? I think I'd go: 1. OKC 2. Boston 3. Cleveland 4. NY Knicks 5. LA Lakers 6. Denver 7. Minnesota 8. Houston 9. Memphis 10. Milwaukee
  15. in all seriousness, my prediction is 6 seed.
  16. holy shit a lebron's nearly halfcourt heat check 3. also, the warriors are really, really bad.
  17. fortunately they did a lot at the trade deadline to address that...
  18. Williams is a good get for the Lakers, but having to give up an uprotected pick + a swap in back to back years is a pretty signifcnat price to pay.
  19. Does Carlito's Way count? I'm a big fan of that one too.
  20. I watched Once Upon a Time in America for the first time about a year or two ago and loved it. I did have to break it up and watch over the course of two or three sittings, but I really enjoyed it. I also thought The Irishman got unfairly shat upon when it was originally released and I think that looking back, people have started to appreciate it more. The Godfather (part 1 and part 2) and Goodfellas have to be on here. I liked Casino a lot too, but felt like the third act was too reliant upon Sharon Stone's character who was a complete drag. I'm also a big fan of The Departed, though I understand some of the criticism as well. I watched it for the first time in 4-5 years a couple of months ago and absolutely loved it. Miller's Crossing and Road to Perdition are both fantastic.
  21. yeah i don't have a lot of faith that tonight is going to be super competitive. hope i'm wrong.
  22. i don't know why people care about rankings in basketball. the committe more closely mirrors kenpom/net rankings than they do the ap poll. i care much more about those sets of rankings than i do the media or coaches polls.
  23. 8 of the 9 remaining games are against teams currently ranked in the top 50 of kenpom. 5 of those game are against teams currently in the top 39. just because it's not brutal like the first half of the conference schedule doesn't mean its easy.
  24. the remaining schedule is definitely not a cakewalk. that's ridiculous.
