The 2023-2024 NBA Season

This is what Ohioans resort to for entertainment apparently

I mean, better he stop lying.

I saw you added an incredibly foolish take recently.....but at least just a foolish opinion and not a lie so you've got that going for you.

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.

didn't watch the game but figured this was why.

The really early stuff is a bit weird. I like the latter Gabriel stuff and the early post-Gabriel stuff personally. Selling thru S/T, maybe Invisible Touch. Even that stuff I don't listen to very often though.

I love all of the classic albums (one before Collins and Hackett, then the classic lineup for 4 albums, then the four piece for 2 more). The first 3 albums as a trio are still great, then next couple including Invisible Touch have some good songs but by then they are mostly well crafted pop. Still a fan of those but not into it the same level.

He joined as a drummer in 1971 and their classic prog lineup was 1971-1975. Then Gabriel left and Collins took up the singing as well as the drumming (he's one of the best all time rock drummers maybe #2, I'm a drummer so that's why he's my hero) and they made 2 more albums before the guitarist Steve Hackett left (he invented the finger tapping technique Eddie Van Halen made famous). The remaining trio started moving in a pop direction and eventually I wasn't as into it. But I never had a problem with them doing that, things evolve and I was happy to see them have big success

Good info....guessing I started liking them with songs from the Abacab album. Those were my favs by them.

Like I give a shit what's popular and the hoi polloi likes. I just told you I'm into prog Genesis lol

#1 has very little to do with song quality

Favorites and best are two different things though is my point.

Did I see correct? An ABC game on a Wednesday night tonight?

My opinion differs from yours on a topic? I must be right then.

They had one last week as well I believe.

That's a fantastic and underrated album, probably the last proggy one they did. After that the pop sensibility was the main focus but it was high quality pop music and they'd still have a prog track or two. Actually the one after was still leaning prog. Invisible Touch is when they went mostly pop

Not if you think Mobley "doesn't play big whatsoever". That's kooky talk at best.

Definitely a transition album from them. Still had some prog, but with the radio-ready hooks.

You think he's a big and not a wing?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I mean, you did (though I guess might have been last night...I didn't look) but that's cool......though will take the easy $10 if anyone wants to accept my offer on a true guarantee.

It's just subjective words but I think my favorites are what I consider their "best". I would put the distinction as 'best' and 'most popular ' being different sometimes. Genesis had a #1 song but it's super poppy and I don't really like it much.

Apparently the window for 10 day contracts has opened. I see the Wiz signed Diallo to one yesterday.

He's a big who can guard wings.

You really think our starting PF and backup C is a 7-0 wing? Hell, even if your latest foolish comment that he's a wing was true how does he not play big whatsoever with 10.5 rpg, shooting 57% from the field with most shots in the paint? Oh, and also #2 in DPOY last season.

You failed. Be an adult and own it or don't and keep adding to you foolish comments.

 

[dtgold88]

seems you cannot help but keep replying so I will help you out and bow out of the discussion with you and you can get the last word....or GIF/meme.

Semantics. I never said he wasn't a good player. You yourself said the Cavs struggle more with their starting C out than any other starter. That would certainly seem to indicate that Mobley is not what they need as a backup C, and as such, not what I consider a big. He's a 7' wing. If you want to call him a big in this modern NBA, so be it.

Their issue last year wasn't rebounding from the frontcourt it is that 1 through 3 they got almost 0 boards against Hart Brunson RJ
