  1. *** 2016 NBA Playoff thread ***

    I'd be shocked to see Curry return in 2 weeks. As mentioned above, it is at least 2 weeks but probably more. In 2 weeks he will be re-evaluated. The Warriors are a deep team but losing your best player hurts anyone, and Curry is the fulcrum of the offense. The Cavs were on an incredible run...
  2. Is Steph Curry already the best shooter in NBA history?

    Curry isn't a terrible defender, but he isn't a lockdown guy either. Kerr has carved out a nice role for him as a free safety type which has him very high up in the steals category. Watch any game with him though, and see if he requires help from his teammates against top guys. Hint - he...
  3. Is Steph Curry already the best shooter in NBA history?

    I was under the assumption that it was his wide open threes that started screwing up Cleveland's defensive rotations. They trapped Steph like crazy in going up 2-1, narrowly missing out on going up 3-0. Green was playing terrible and a forced David Lee substitution found him slipping screens...
  4. Vacation plans for the year

    I have a Miami/Keys trip planned starting next week. In May I'll be off to Colombia. In July I'll be in SoCal, and probably swing out to Havasu Falls for a few days. Depending on other expenses, I'd like to squeeze in Memphis/New Orleans in a road trip, and also another trip to...
  5. Is Steph Curry already the best shooter in NBA history?

    I'd say Bogut is also a better defender than Steph Curry too.
  6. Is Steph Curry already the best shooter in NBA history?

    I agree with this. In general though, the comparison of Curry to other players of different eras has the same problem we've seen for some time, which is that people these days underrate the complexity of modern NBA defenses. Watch a game from the 70s or 80s and nobody plays defense until...
  7. Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews *SPOILERS*

    He force pushed Rey out of commission to go one on one with Finn. Why not force push Finn? Why not force choke Finn? Why not freeze him like he did with Rey earlier in the movie? He did stick around and fight, and his moves were mostly ok. He was able to utilize the force to toss Rey...
  8. Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews *SPOILERS*

    I'm sure he could have negotiated something like that, but he did donate most of the $4B to charity. I don't think he was too interested in the financial windfall from selling the franchise.
  9. Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews *SPOILERS*

    I've seen it four times now and repeated viewing do improve the movie. I still place it as the 4th or 5th best of the 7 star wars movies at this time. The first half of the movie is nearly perfect to me. Yes, there is some fan pandering going on, but it works. It doesn't feel forced. After...
  10. Star Wars (EP 4-6): Blu-Ray?

    The DeSpecialized Editions floating around are more than upconverted low quality materials. link deleted If you want to discuss them, fine, but no links. admin allisolm
  11. Where to stay in NYC

    Eh, I hopped the subway back from Harlem to midtown at 5AM when I was there last week, after a long night at the bars by Columbia U. It was just me and my female roommate. I think the threat of danger in NYC is overblown. The subway at night is fine.
  12. Where to stay in NYC

    Since you are looking to be all around Manhattan just stay at a hotel right next to a subway line. I enjoyed my week there without a single Uber or taxi.
  13. Netflix to lose thousands of movies. Gambles on making its own content

    This. Netflix got slammed hard when they announced they were charging for streaming and lost tons of subscribers and the stock took a dive. These days people's idea of a date is having you come over and "watch Netflix". In the end they were right. I've been with Netflix since 2002, and...
  14. *** Official 2014-2015 NBA Playoff thread ***

    I was fortunate enough to catch this special Warriors team in person twice this season, including once in Oakland. They were a thrill to watch and are deserving champions. The Cavs were rounding out quite nicely after the bumpy start and were something like 37-4 leading up to Kevin Love's...
  15. *** Official 2014-2015 NBA Playoff thread ***

    To me the biggest difference is that the Cavs clearly have the best player on the floor. The Warriors had the best two players on the floor in the Memphis series. The Warriors needed to step up and show more resolve and the Memphis series would take care of itself. Lebron has been playing...
  16. *** Official 2014-2015 NBA Playoff thread ***

    Agree above in that the Warriors weren't written off in the Memphis series. Being down 2-1 in any series isn't difficult to overcome, it is how the games have played out that speaks to the Warriors going forward. The Warriors aren't playing "poorly". They are being outcoached and outplayed...
  17. *** Official 2014-2015 NBA Playoff thread ***

    The Warriors are clearly playing like it is their first Finals. Blatt is outcoaching Kerr to an embarrassing degree. Lebron is outplaying anyone on GS to an embarrassing degree. The Warriors season was built on a beautiful flowing offense, and while the Cavs have done a tremendous job of...
  18. biggest scandal in all of sports

    To me the reason the Sandusky thing is the biggest scandal (as opposed to something similar like OJ) was the involvement and participation of the institution involved. Penn State allowed it to continue, even in it's own physical confines, and did everything they could to cover it up. OJ...
  19. *** Official 2014-2015 NBA Playoff thread ***

    Even without Kevin Love, the Cavs will beat the Bulls. Chicago's frontline has coasted on reputation this year but between injury and age it isn't what it appears to be. The Bucks have suddenly made this an interesting series right as they changed things up to lock down the wing players by...
  20. *** Official 2014-2015 NBA Playoff thread ***

    Only a championship will spare Thibs' job, his relationship with the front office is that frayed. At the same time, there is zero chance of the Bulls winning it all, so Thibs is gone.
  21. Social Security?

    The SS surplus has been invested in government bonds, but as that money is converted to bonds the government can (and has) use it as any other type of money flowing in. The SS fund is currently at a $4-5T surplus, which has gone on at the same time that the rest of the government has run a $17T...
  22. Social Security?

    People's diet and exercise are correspondingly getting worse. We as a country fail to keep up with lifespans of other developed countries. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
  23. Pure Heroine

    Agreed. I caught her twice when she played here, at the start and the end of the US leg of her tour. She is a phenomenal songwriter, and not just for her age. I liken her songwriting to what would happen if Thom Yorke were a teenage girl. I'm curious to see her growth as a musician. The...
  24. your guilty celebrity crush; who is it?

    Some of the names listed in this thread don't come anywhere near "guilty" as a crush. That being said, my guilty crush, for obvious reasons is Kylie Jenner.
  25. USPS should just die already

    Holy crap. The link "disproving" the prefunding gives an example of hiring on a 25 year old and only having to prefund 50 years of his pension as part of the hiring process. The 75 year thing is relative but the spirit of the moronic law is just the same.
  26. Some thoughts about the movie Fight Club

    The amount of redundancy in the 90s wasn't that great, and with the massive spread of fight clubs at the end of the movie implies that the destruction wouldn't have been limited to just the town the Narrator lived in. Really though, the movie had themes that far transcend how the movie wrapped...
  27. What extra credit card to get?

    The important thing you have to consider for these cards is the amount you spend. Some of the better rewards you can pull will require you putting a decent amount of charges through the card. The AMEX Blue Cash seems to be better to me, and the Blue Cash Preferred is quite popular with those...
  28. Why are supermarkets so bad at managing inventory / adjusting for demand?

    Distilled water doesn't sell much, as purified water serves the same purpose at a cheaper cost. Anything that requires water free of contaminants will work just fine with purified water. Only old people who can't be convinced they are paying more for no reason continue to waste money on...
  29. Recommendation on good airline/travel points credit card?

    Others may be able to correct me, but as far as I know most foreign airlines don't really offer good credit card rewards. For those numbers you will want to grab the AMEX Cash Preferred card for sure. American Airlines usually has 50k point offers for business and personal cards with Citi...
  30. Has anyone been to the Fujian Province of China?- Just accepted a job.

    I was in China last February and was able to get on ATOT without a VPN. I did need the VPN for most other things. I could check instagram but not twitter without a VPN, but I think that changed recently.
  31. Your favorite shot of 2014

    I have 4 or 5 shots this year that I feel could be contenders for my best shot, but this one is what I am settling on for now:
  32. Walmart is competing with itself? (Off brand pantry goods)

    Tiers of quality is correct. HEB's Hill Country Fare brand is the cheapest they can deliver the product to the shelves. Quality is a non factor, price is the only factor. Whoever can supply the product the cheapest gets to be wrapped up in Hill Country Fare packaging. From there the HEB...
  33. Looking for more 'intelligent' scifi movies? They're such a treat.

    If you stop the movie before the last act then you miss the entire point of the movie. Why would you suggest something so absurd?
  34. Chris Nolan's Prestige

    I'm no fan of the Batman movies, not in the slightest. But the rest of his work is pretty admirable. I think the biggest problem with his films is that his characters are hard to sympathize for giving the movie a cold feeling. Interstellar did ok in that regard, but given the plight of all of...
  35. Your favorite movie sound tracks

    Clint Mansell's score for The Fountain. Kronos Quartet with Mogwai. Sublime.
  36. Google Domain invites thread

    Sounds nice, I'll take one!
  37. *** Official 2014 NBA Draft and Free Agency Thread ***

    I'm hearing that it will be midseason. He can stay in shape on his own, spend time with family, then check in late season and be ready for the playoffs.
  38. Some SuperMoon(TM) pics, and pics of the bright sky

    I really like the third one. I snapped a cell phone pic similar to that a few months back and I've been regretting not having the DSLR for it.
  39. where to buy used camera gear?

    Adorama and B&H have good used/refurbished deals on Canon gear. I've used both, as well as refurbs direct from Canon.
  40. Good apartment complexes... is it a hopeless search?

    There are some cheaper apartments along 360 by 2222, which is reasonably close to Mopac and 183. The housing out there is pricey but there are a more limited number of apartment dwellers in the area so it pushes the pricing down. The apartments are older but because of the area they aren't...
