Timberwolves implode in spectacular fashion and still manage to win. Crazy

Sounds like the team may suspend Gobert for their play in game.  Crazy stuff.

Hahaha suck it!

That's exactly where he's headed to join Cade, Ivey, Duren and Bojan.

Cades season ending injury was real, there was no planned tank and Casey's firing is imminent, so this will be a very different team next year.

If we get Scoot instead we will slot Cade at the SF. Plus we have cap space to make upgrades. I am really looking forward to next season.

And you’ll still finish third in the division behind Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Yet everything the Jazz did was to get Wemby and it backfired in about the worst way possible unless you think they have something to build around. 

Sure, but Utah was looking at a multi-year rebuild anyway.  There are already reports that Luka could demand a trade as early as the end of next season.

Albeit for very different reasons, did the Jazz, Blazers or Mavs have the worst year? 

Also, please god do not let Wemby go to Detroit. 

Has to be the Mavs, I think.  No one expected the Jazz to be any good and I think ending up in the lottery is best case scenario for them and the position their team is in.  The Blazers were disappointing, but I would have expected them to be a team fighting for the play-in more so than a top four team.  The Mavs, on the other hand...woof.  I can't imagine Luka is happy and he's probably going to be asking out before long if they don't right the ship.

The Cavs hit fifty wins for the first time without LeBron since 1993.  First non-LeBron playoff appearance since 1998.  Feels good.

Mania was excellent both nights.

I guess I'm one of the few happy with the main event. Cody is terrible.

I think people are just over having Reigns as champ.  He’s had both belts forever now and he is basically a part timer.

I didn't really follow Mania much, but the most worrisome thing I read is that while Triple H was in the Gorilla position, Vince was literally right next to him and not shy about sharing his feelings.  If that's the case, doesn't seem like much has changed at all.

So I haven't watched Mania yet, but most of the comments I've seen from wrestling fans who have were positive.  The ending of the main event seems pretty universally panned, but everyone loved night one.

Reportedly the Ravens offered OBJ a contract last week.

Supposedly he’s asking for fifteen million, which is insane for a guy who hasn’t been good in half a decade and is coming off two ACL tears in two years.

maybe they should watch the episode before visiting a thread with “spoilers” in the title.

Yeah, once the episode drops, spoilers are fair game.

Great write up on Mobley.

skyrim enters the Chat

Hey heard you were talking shit about people not replaying long games 

Skyrim is a bit different because it's so meandering and open ended and how you play can alter a run significantly.  

With Witcher 3, there's really only one way to play it, and the story is linear even if you can spend a lot of time dicking around.  You're Geralt (and, occasionally, Ciri).  You'll always be Geralt, the witcher.  He'll always have two swords and the same five or so spells and a bunch of potions you always forget to use.

So how does all this work as far as a negative review on Steam?

If they patch it and the issues are resolved, will people be specifically prompted if they want to change their review?  Or do players have to go back in specifically on their own volition to make a change?  

How does a game ever recover from a bad launch?

Steam already addresses this to an extent by showing you how a game has fared for all reviews, but also showing you just the feedback from recent reviews.

But...that's called replayability! And player choice! They gave you options! It means you also get more bang for your buck, and get a game that's dynamic and offers different outcomes and ways of playing! Surely that's a good thing?! 

Sure, but how many people ever actually replay games that take 40+ hours to beat?  I'd love to replay Witcher 3 with the graphics update, but I just don't have the fucking time if I want to play anything else for the next six months.

Makes me so happy my team traded for Donovan Mitchell.  He seems like a legitimately good dude, and unlike Kyrie he actually contributes on both ends of the floor.

Weren't the Mavs in about 4th when they signed Kyrie?  

To be fair, only four games separate the fourth seed in the West and the twelfth seed.  

That being said, I don't think Irving plays a winning style of basketball.  He's a me-first player.  He doesn't try on defense.  He's not a leader.

None of them beats "THERE'S NO BOOK CLUB?" though.

I re-watched the show recently and totally forgot about that line.  Just about spit out my drink.  

The other scene that cracks me up is when Misty busts into Nat's hotel room as she's about to do some lines, shoves her out of the way, and snorts all the cocaine herself.

Inject this into my veins.

Is there no pre-loading on steam anymore? I expected by this point that I'd be able to download most of the Resident Evil 4 remake. 

I assume it varies by the developer.

So is this a good or bad thing for Rick and Morty?

Doubt it impacts Rick and Morty at all.  From everything that I’ve read or listened to, everyone who works on the show was glad to see him gone and believed it took too long to finally get rid of him.

I misread it.  I thoiught it was saying the Browns lost the trade.  I think it's pretty even or slightly in the Browns favor.  I do appreciate the Cowboys response too though.

 

Bur I also think the extra 2nd will help get Rodgers done.

I was a big fan of Moore as a prospect two years ago.  He's the guy I wanted the Browns to trade for, and I figured he'd come quite a bit cheaper than Jeudy would despite being a prospect I'd view on a similar tier.  Jeudy was a little better but not absurdly so.

Plus Moore is on a dirt cheap deal for the next two years.

Is that in regards to Elijah Moore?  If so, he is pretty good.  I think a 2nd is not bad for him and 3rd.  

Yeah, it was just the response from the Cowboys blog account that made me laugh.
