@dtgold88 is unhinged.

SSDD

 

[shopson67]

Unhinged? This is all comedy and in good fun. But You should have just watched instead of adding 2 more lies to your list, Tommy.

This is what Ohioans resort to for entertainment apparently

I gotta say- it is trite- but I really love listening to Beatles and Rolling Stones--- especially Rolling Stones. Exile on Main is just incredible.- if you are going way back anyway.

In other news, water is wet

 

[shopson67]

That's also my favorite Stones album. And no shame in liking great music from any era. It's fascinating how my Gen Z kids really just listen to everything and anything like it's all now. They like bands like Radiohead and the Smiths and AC/DC and Foo Fighters and System of a Down and just about anything from the past plus the new stuff of course.

The thing is though, the Stones and Beatles were and are cool. Genesis was never cool.

There might be some shame in loving music from the current era. Pop music at least.

Have you listened to prog era Genesis?

 

[shopson67]

Yeah..there kinda was some twilight zone type stuff going on there.

Like what? I was following along on the internet, didn't get to see footage.

 

[shopson67]

Beatles- I would have to go Abbey Road- the medley is some of the best music ever put together. Kinda crazy Harrison had 2 of the biggest hits on Abbe Road in Here Comes the Sun and Something- So much of it is good though- White Album is incredible.

I dont know about you- but to me one of the biggest differences between Beatles and Stones is- that each Beatles records seemed like its own thing. I mean- Stones were going for so long that you can obviously tell an early song from a later song- but beside Exile on Main, you can kinda move Stones songs around.

Beatles- each Album just has such a specific feel. Rubber Soul, White Album, Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, Let It Be.....they def. all have their own feels and throughputs I guess. I would say my 2 favorite "under the radar" Beatles and Stones songs would be Dear Prudence and Get Off of My Cloud.

I would say in undergrad though- the two albums I seemed to here the most were Sublime 40 ounce to freedom and Tom Petty Greatest Hits.

It's pretty hard to call anything by the Beatles "under the radar", unless we're talking about a single b-side like Rain.

I don't even think of Kobe in terms of best ever.

there is a clear 2

MJ
LBJ

then

Kareem


then you get a mixed bag of

Wilt
Magic
Bird
Hakeem (imo)
Duncan
Kobe
Steph
Shaq

I would put Wilt/Magic/Bird at a higher tier than the rest of that latter group.

Lakers got almost all shooting fouls to get the Raptors into the penalty. Plus, the Raptors fouled intentionally a bunch at the end of the fourth to try to extend the game.

Blind looks at numbers is a fail.

You know the league is corrupt. They do what they want, and don't create an even field "to play the games."

 

[shopson67]

Lakers were playing zero defense as the Raptors got easy runs at layups and wide open jumpers. Raptors were intentionally fouling down the stretch to extend the game. Lakers got 10 of those FTs on intentional/take fouls in the final 34 seconds with zero time coming off the clock after the Raptors scored.

Only questionable call I saw was the moving screen by RJ. Will see what L2M say about it today

yea that becomes a very misleading stat when you neglect to mention 10 intentional free throws.

that drops the difference to 10

 

[shopson67]

I didn't see the game but isn't Toronto running a small lineup

Yes, and doubling AD most of the game. Lakers forced to go elsewhere after AD's hot start and Reaves had a tough game

I didn't see it, but the play by play mentioned he was definitely moving but AD embellished to make sure it was called.

That's what I meant about pre 1986. I may be the West Coast authority on prog era Genesis

Which is one of their best songs actually
