    The 2024 NBA playoffs thread

    In their careers, Book is statistically better. In the playoffs, they are statistically even. But where Murray excels in the playoffs is in clutch situations.

    The 2024 NBA playoffs thread

    But the whole argument was about who generally is better - Booker or Murray? That answer is pretty clear. But who is better IN THE PLAYOFFS? That answer is pretty clear especially in clutch situations. It helps that Murray has a player like Jokic, whose gravity is off the charts -- and he's...

    So? That one stat doesn't prove that Murray is better than Booker. My god, the penchant for Suns fans to hate their own players is getting out of control.

    Game of Thrones Sequel with Jon Snow

    You're basically trying to convince us that Martin is a con artist for not finishing his book series. That's a bit extreme, even for you. How is he exploiting fans? He created art, yes or no? That art has been expanded upon by others. You can complain all you want about whether he's lazy or...

    Incorrect. When he wrote the first books, he wasn't even close to being what he is now. You can't retroactively condemn him because of that.

    Game of Thrones Sequel with Jon Snow

    So what? Even if that is true, what do you care? Sure, we all wish he would finish his series, but it's a given that it's probably not going to happen. If that doesn't fit what he wants his legacy to be, so be it. He has nobody to blame but himself. But I'm not going to feel sorry for him.

    Game of Thrones Sequel with Jon Snow

    Except you aren't in a position to say whether he thinks this is bad for his legacy or not. Maybe he doesn't care being a good writer who doesn't finish. He's making the choice to not finish his series, but he's likely not too upset since the checks from Warner Bros keep coming in.

    Gladiator 2

    That's simply not how movies work. There are a lot of things to take into consideration when trying to put a story that is rooted in history on the big screen. At the end of the day, it has to be cinematic while telling an engaging story. And it has to fit in 2-3 hours. You will never see...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Tuesday Playoff game thread 4-23-2024 - Game 2

    He's a national treasure.

    Game of Thrones Sequel with Jon Snow

    At some point, he ceased creating it, but he DID create what's there, after all. At this point, he may not be creating art, but he's certainly exploiting the art he's already created. I think that's what Ouchie is saying. If you had a bestseller 15 years ago, wouldn't you take advantage of it...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday Playoff game thread, 4-20-24 - Game 1

    Not as much as Book was missing shots apparently. I was at a <nerd> board game convention today so I didn't catch the game. Which is weird for me, but looks like I picked the right day to miss it.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    It's Crawford Homerism though. :)

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    What do you mean "Rankin homerism"? He's quoting Jamal Crawford there.
