NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

did you watch Rings of Power?

I know it got a ton of criticism but I enjoyed it for the most part- esp. the later episodes. Stupid its only 8 episodes.....ridiculous if you ask me. 10 episodes should be the bare minimum. Why go through all the trouble for 8 episodes?

Yeah, I watched.

It was cool.

...especially the part about the Stranger.

Should not have aired at the same time as HOTD.

Probably would have done better in the.ratings.

So you don’t recognize them as America’s team?

Hell no. Not in MY part of America...

 

[WiggyRuss]

Hell no. Not in MY part of America...

the part where you just pick teams all across the country and have no loyalty to any city?

aren't you ashamed of that avatar after the movie was a blatant sin against cinema? I read a review that was so true- not a good combo when you go with the guy who is the "safest" movie star and a studio trying to make a "safe" movie....just garbage. Go woke- go broke.

OU ain’t losing this week, bye is getting it’s ass kicked

USC has a bye game as well. Anyone got the o/u for those games...?

Saw it last night, dum dum. If you want to know if a movie is good you actually have to WATCH it. I liked it personally. But you go with the experts and miss out like a good little lemming...

As far as the teams I follow I'm quite loyal to them and have been for decades. Funny how this "I have to be loyal to my city" logic (I use THAT term loosely) keeps on popping up under your balding dome piece. My family is native Kansas Citians, born and raised. Who do you think influenced my NFL fanship? Same thing when you bring up Wamu for following the Celtics. It's lame, played out, and why do you even care...?

Try another troll tactic, broken record...

The fact that you're the only one who actually thinks this is something to criticize someone about should be enough to let you know how stupid and lame it is...

Unsurprisingly, it's not.

Gotta question for you.

I know there are many Clevelanders that are Yankees, Steelers & N.D. fans.

I'm just wondering if you roam around downtown Cleveland yelling at all the locals that root for teams outside of Cleveland?

What?! You don't wake up every day putting your mat down by your bed and kneeling towards Cleveland?! How dare you? It's sacrilegious, I tell ya...!!

Why don't you just put a gun to your head and shout out " I have sinned, Cleveland" before pulling the trigger...?

Not just a sin...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

it is horrific.......pisses me off......the other one in that family too seems so anti-climatic and a huge bummer. He seems like he would have been a great king- one of the best in the history of Westeros.

you did not read Dunk and Egg did you?

Baelor Breakspear would have been a great king too.

Nope didn't read it.

They are doing some weird shit with HOTD.

I guess they don't want a bunch of psycho Joffrey Barathean characters and want folks on both sides to have some nuance.

But, for those of us that read the books, we have already picked a side.

Fuck the Greens.

Double fuck Cole, Otto.

.....and kiss my ass with that Alicent/Rhaynera child hood friendship and prophecy mix up that leads to all this.

Stop trying to put a white hat on that bitch.

She's no saint.

.....and that foot fettish shit was just....gross....lol

Wait until you see the finale.

They basically flipped the script on Daemon and Aemomd.

I love it and absolutely DESPISE it in equal measures.

I am team Rhanyera.

But, people need to stop pretending Daemon is good.

He's Jaime Lannister dialed up to 1000.

You see it yet?

I'll give it a 7/10.

But, there were some blatant rip offs of other comic book movies.

Yeah we went and saw it. You're right about the rip offs, but I liked it for the most part, though Hawkman being Black kinda stood out considering he's a white Thanagarian in the comics. So 7 outta ten is a good assessment...

Oh, and the wind girl was a new character to me lol...

Is there a name for this language? I’m not recognizing it.

Yeah, Hawkman looked cool.

But, the race and gender swapping can be unnecessary and annoying at times.

Throne-isms?

Throne-isms?

It was as if I didn’t know what a single word meant lol

 

[shopson67]

Syracuse getting jobbed by the refs vs Clemson. Clemson QB get hit just as he's going out of bounds, 15 yard penalty. Instead of punting, Clemson continues the drive and gets a TD. Syracuse QB gets shoved 3 yards out of bounds, no call and has to punt.

Syracuse hasn't made enough off their forced turnovers. They stopped drives, but have not led to enough points and haven't yet scored in the second half.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ready for this UCLA vs Oregon game.
