you really want to talk about "crashing" irght before you get on an airplane?

You're a stupid dumbass.

At the airport waiting for our flight.

Be ready to crash as soon as we check into the hotel.

You really don't know what to crash is? It means take a nap. His comment had nothing to do with a plane crashing. Did I call you a dumbass? You dumbass.

Does anyone know how the play-in games work in terms of seedings in the playoffs? Like for example if the #10 team knocks off $7, do they face #1 seed or do they face the #2 seed, considering that's who the #7 seed would have played?

Winner of the 7-8 game is the 7 seed, faces the 2 seed. Winner of the second game is the 8 seed, faces the 1

So Steph has obviously had a fantastic April. But can we dissect a bit WHY he is having such a great April?

1) James Wiseman was inserted back into the lineup on 03/23. In that time a video coordinator went to Kerr and said that Wiseman was MOST effective with Steph in the pick and roll. That's where he made the biggest impact and had the most success.

2) Warriors then started to integrate many more pick and roll opportunities into their offense instead of running their triangle/motion offense.

3) Steph was inactive due to injury until 03/29. Since that time he's averaged 39.1 points a game.


The Warriors have been running so many more pick and roll opportunities for Steph which has allowed him to create more off the dribble and get more space shooting the ball. Even with the uptick, the Warriors remain 6th to LAST in frequency of the pick and roll despite being 4th overall in PPP and 5th overall in Scoring Frequency. Makes you think what Steph could have done this year with more opportunities in the pick and roll.....

I used to fly to Florida about 3 or 4 times a year. I had a portable dvd player that I would bring. I used to always bring the Final Destination movie with the plane crash...the reaction of the occasional person sitting next to me peaking at the screen could be pretty funny. lol

If I remember what I heard explained correctly.

#7 and #8 play each other, #9 and #10 play each other.

Winner of each game, plays each other and the winner of that game is the 7 seed.

The loser of the #7/#8 game plays the loser of the #9/#10 game and the winner is the 8 seed.

The only time I didn't was one time when my sister flew with me. She is scared to death of flying to the point that it's all she can do to get on the plane. I figured that might just end all plane flights for her. lol

Winner of each game, plays each other and the winner of that game is the 7 seed.

The loser of the #7/#8 game plays the loser of the #9/#10 game and the winner is the 8 seed.

Really?

That is so stupid. That can’t be right.

Winner of the 7/8 game should be the 7 seed. End of discussion. Loser of the 9/10 game should be out.

Then let the loser of the 7/8 game play the winner of the 9/10 game for the 8 seed.

In the scenario you just explained, the 7 seed could win their first game, lose their second and be out. While the 10 seed could lose their first game, win their second and be in.

If that is correct, that is truly awful.

You ready for tomorrow's holiday? Stopped by my dispensary yesterday and picked some goodies up.

Yep. One of the delivery places started their 4/20 deals yesterday. So I got a total of 6 grams of concentrates, 3 pre-rolls dipped in kief and an edible.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I was remembering it right.

What you described sounds right.

Hell yeah, sounds good. I got some 200mg fruit punch and some wax (chem # 4 OG- 84% & some blue dream- 82%). The blue dream, finally found a sativa strain that agrees with me. Only took more than 10 years.
