Yeah.

Ragnorak was one of my favorite Marvel Movies.

This shit went sidewayz..... Lol

I'm still pissed about that Illuminati bullshit from Dr. Strange too.

Not sure why they feel the need to over power some of their female characters.

Wanda is a bad motherfucker.

But, it should not have been that easy.

Gmafb.

Speaking of vikings (kinda), anyone see The Northman? Some unintentionally funny parts IMO, but a decent flick.

underated on HBO- just one season- Station Eleven. I really liked it. It is a limited series. You will bawl your eyes out at the last episode guaranteed.
Finishing up Billions soon I'll maybe watch this next. Also started on the series about Uber. saw a few episodes and really like it.

Unfortunately for Harden, what they really need is a different player earning Harden's contract.
Disagree. He averaged 10.5 assist last year in an “off” year. He needs to shoot at a higher percentage going forward and he needs to add some mid range so that he has an easier time getting to the rim. The Embiid Harden pairing was the best pair on the floor for the Sixers at both ends since he was acquired. The issue last year was the health of Embiid and the quality of the supporting cast. Embiid’s health will always be an issue but they finally have the luxury of building a bench that fits around their 3 stars. They’ve spent years finding the core group. They acquired Harden late last year and didn’t have the ability to improve the bench. This season is their best chance to make noise in over 20 years.

Yeah, they nailed it with their off-season additions.

And that was only possible because Harden took one for the team and left money on the table. Guys can talk winning all they want but few guys actually put their wallets on the table. You’ve gotta respect that from Harden.

Additionally, they had like 20 some games to figure it out post acquisition last year. Their 6th man was Georges Niang. Love the dude but he’s an 8th 9th man at best for a team. Niang may not even be in this year’s playoff rotation.

During the playoffs.....I said he might take less than he could so they could make improvements.

People said, nah. He's all about himself.

All evidence indicated he was that guy. And we won’t know for sure how committed he is until we see it on the court. But there’s hope that he has adjusted and realizes tomorrow is never promised and this situation is the best shot he has to win a ring.

He was absolutely that guy. Forcing his way out of two situations, poor work ethic getting his body back into shape, caring more about strip clubs, etc. Everyone who said he was about himself were absolutely right. He loves Morey though and they have a good relationship. I’ve never questioned if Harden wants to win but it seems that is his primary focus now, still have to see the full product, most importantly-getting back into shape and stop partying every single night. Lots of players have accepted less to help the team, in some cases you don’t hear about it bc they don’t care everyone else knows.

Not sure. But have never seen someone say Deaaron Fox (F-U deeej, I spelled it right! :heh:)is their favorite player.

I figure this new fella's either legit, not proven yet, or thinks the tiny crystals on the evil devil's lettuce is PCP.
Fox is likely the goat soon

Dan Patrick pointed out something interesting on his show.

He said that folks have focused on Kyrie not showing up for the Drew League, but the reason appears to be that he was assisting at a camp for kids being run by Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy.

That's assuming that Harden isn't on a downwards slide that continues moving forward. Taking a little less now is locking him in for multiple seasons of that potential slide.

After everything he has done he gets no credit, none.
