  1. Yeah, the uncertainty is a big part of it. I also thought he was mislead about 'how' they would use her to make a cure. As in, he thought it would be something like a blood draw, but once he learned they would kill her in the process, he lost it and went berserk. That would be a sympathetic argument to make to her, and say he wasn't going to live with her blood on his hands for delivering her to them. Just odd to me that he can care so much, but is unwilling to explain it, maybe he needs a therapist. He could also say that he didn't tell her the truth of what happened because she was 14. She won't like it, but it's understandable.
  2. I made this comment in the 4th when the team was shooting like 31% from 3. They ended the game at 40.5%.
  3. Well that was an entertaining game. 6 more would be great, thanks.
  4. That elbow did not look that bad, and they were hounding KAT hard on the rebound out of frustration.
  5. And the lead for the Knicks grows while Brunson is on the bench. Not great for Indy, but also they aren't hitting 40%+ of their 3s like they did in every win vs Cleveland, so it tracks.
  6. Pacers should have challenged that one. Dude collapsed because he got high fived lol...
  7. Well bad news, I just saw this article that Netflix will no longer be supported on 1st gen fire sticks starting in June: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2788458/netflix-will-stop-working-on-these-older-fire-tv-devices-next-month.html I still have an old 1st gen fire TV, so I went to Amazon and checked out options on the trade-in for a cube. I get $3 for the device and 20% off the Cube if I do the trade-in, which brings the price down to ~$80. For anyone interested, go to the cube page on Amazon and see if you have this "Upgrade" button to get the offer. Be sure to drill down to where you choose what device to send in. I did the same thing when we ordered the kids Fire Tablets for Christmas last year, it's a good deal if you have old hardware to dump.
  8. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Roku because they produced the greatest comedy movie of the last 10 years in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
  9. It feels a lot like Dwade in 06. One guy gets called completely differently than everyone else, so defenses have to change for him and he goes off. Takes a talented guy from All-star to Superstar pretty quickly.
  10. Remember round 1 when the teams were allowed to play hard defense, and everyone loved it? This game was the opposite of that. I know it's not his fault that it is called like this, but it's shitty to watch. These are very minor contact calls, and ruin the pacing of the game to take a break for FTs. I have seen Brunson getting this type of treatment too, and don't expect it to stop. If we get a Knicks/Thunder Finals, it's going to be a an all out war to get to the line.
  11. That was a weak foul on light contact made by SGA's arm...
  12. Well at least the challenge was successful. Maybe Minny can keep it close and take control in the 4th.
  13. Hey Josh, I'm gonna need you to find your biggest, longest bootstraps... And pull 'em right up into your butthole! Hahahahha
  14. Not sure how old this is, but Jeopardy had a Seinfeld category and the questions should be a lay up for everyone in this thread. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1NXEN8PhZB/
  15. I liked that episode, it definitely explained some things from earlier in the season that irked me. Season 1 Joel/Ellie can really tug on your heartstrings. However, I thought the whole point of Joel's rampage in SLC was to save Ellie from being a lab rat for the rest of her life and likely being killed in the process. She had no idea what was going on, and the hypothesis of creating a "cure" with her blood was far-fetched at best. He was saving her from the insanity of being some stranger's guinea pig in an organization full of zealots who thought they could fix the world, it wasn't completely an act of selfishness. If all the Fireflies needed was blood, then they wouldn't have knocked her out and taken her to an OR. They would have started with a simple blood draw every day to build up supply to work with. I thought he recognized how their plan with her wasn't adding up, and he saved her from what would be a tortuous existence, thus justifying the rampage to some degree. I'm sure it's hard for him to talk about it all, but why doesn't he defend himself? It makes no sense to me how he's completely disarmed when discussing it.
  16. If that's true and they lied about the inflated value, then I can only imagine Trump didn't mind because game respects game and he likes big big numbers.
  17. Well both my favorite teams are out, so not great. I like Ant and Jokic, so I would like to see either of them win the West. Don't really care about anyone on the Pacers, but I do enjoy seeing Knicks fans when they lose, so kinda rooting for Indy over them. I selfishly want OKC to lose this round so they panic and make a mistake in trades. If they fail now, they might just overpay for a Giannis or something.
  18. Can't wait, loved the first season. They did such a good job of building the world in this show, I want to see more of it. The story possibilities are endless with it.
  19. Minny at +600 looks tasty, and they already have a ticket to the WCF. I'm rooting for them or Denver to win it all given who is left.
  20. The agreement was in place for SGA before either team made a pick, so to say Charlotte drafted SGA is misleading, since there is no way to know if they would have drafted him if they kept the pick. They probably take Bridges anyway, who they took with the next pick via the Clippers. It's just dumb that in order to circumvent the pick trading rules, teams have to trade the rights to a player rather than a pick on draft night. The NBA needs to change that Stepian rule to exclude picks once they are within a week of the draft.
  21. Oh god yes, the stick is great for travel and wireless only purposes. The cube has an Ethernet port, so better/stable connection option, has a ton more space and memory, and a larger processor for dealing with the apps. It is a significant upgrade in response times for actions like switching apps, startup time, updates, etc. I also recommend checking your Amazon account for hardware trade in options as you send an old echo dot or stick in to get like $25 off a new Cube.
  22. SGA was drafted by the Clippers. There was a pick swap during the draft, the Hornets just had to make the pick for the Clips because the way the NBA tracks draft trades is incredibly stupid. Kobes rights were also traded on draft day to the Lakers, so he wasn't exactly their target. That team is just cursed to always fail forever and make the wrong decisions.
  23. I switched to Fire Cubes a couple years ago and they have been solid. Only complaint is that occasionally an app update will mess some app login and I have to clear the app cache or reinstall it to fix it. Happens maybe once a year. Otherwise they are very responsive, and I haven't experienced any lockups or lagging, which a lot of TV OSs do.
  24. Why do people always say that? I hate everybody, why would I like him?
  25. Maybe you could drill into his time there and give us the low down? I'm sure we would all be interested in any dirt he can share.
