I fell asleep in the theatre during Matrix 1.   Never seen Star Wars from beginning to end...always turned the tv off to go play outside.

Its all just childs-play type stories.  No interest at all.

I also have bowstaff skills and computer hacking skills.
I really don’t understand the circus around the Draymond situation. I don’t really see the big deal about two grown men getting in a physical altercation. Draymond was a douche before the incident and nothing about the fight changed my perception or the reality of him. I didn’t want him here before and I don’t now. But it seems silly how many people are upset about this thing. I wish all of the players and coaches sounding off about this would’ve spoken up about the miles bridges situation. What he did was far worse but I think Richard Jefferson was the only one that spoke up about it which is sad.

I think a little of it is the video leaking so everyone can see how it went down.

Maybe it's a silly comparison because of the nature of the sports, but fights between teammates happen in football practices all the time.  Sure there is less physicality in basketball but it is still competition players talk a lot of trash.  That's where my head always goes and at the end of the day, I just leave it to Poole and to a lesser extent, the Warriors, for how the situation needs to be handled.
Tyrese Maxey is going to be a problem this year. His game has exploded.

I think KP is headed to a strong year if he can stay healthy.   In that same game, Lamelo turned his ankle.  Both teams are sort of in no mans land.  I wonder if either blow things up if they get off to a slow start.
I am guessing the answer to my question from most would be a no, but was just curious.    Shams reported the Hawks have inquired about Crowder with the Suns.    Hollinger than tweeted that De'andre Hunter and Crowder would be a clean match on a trade. 

So would you trade Bullock straight up for Hunter?

I'm not sure how Simmons missed that attempt so badly.

I thought the clip was about Kyrie refusal to wear jersey or receive the ball from KD. Me no touchy basketball. Big Grin

I asked Kyrie about it and he told me it's because Ben was shooting at the goal none of us could see and if we opened our eyes we'd know he made it.

Me personally, I wouldn't. Bullock is probably a better shooter, but Hunter is bigger and a better defender.

And much younger.
One of the more intriguing players for me.  He could really change the outlook for the Trailblazers.  Probably not right away, but if they got him right that could eventually not need to break down that team.  If he is that good.  

During draft there was talk comparing the paths of Hardy and Sharpe.  How Hardy would have been better sitting out and then being a high draft pick.  I never got that comparison.   I was only going off highlights but Sharpe is bigger and a better athlete even if he had limited high level of competition.   Those type of players are always drafted higher.
