    Jalen Smith

    I think the important thing when considering Smith's situation to trust in the old adage "It takes longer for big men to develop". We've seen this a few times here recently. DeAndre Ayton (how many gave up on him too early?) Richaun Holmes (13ppg/8rpg/1.3bpg since he left) Damian Jones (who...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    The show for sure added/subtracted some things. But I've been viewing this series more like a slight variant in the multiverse rather than a wholesale book adaption (mostly just to preserve my love for the books and still give this show a chance). Once I got there I've enjoyed the show. One...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    Just finished Season 1. Gotta say, I loved it. I understand people are frustrated with the adaption, but remember, this got the blessing from Brandon Sanderson and Harriet McDougal (Jordan's wife). I don't think they would have let this fly if it dishonored Robert's story. I also don't...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    Season 5 was so bad my wife and I stopped watching and have never had the desire to finish it. George got arrogant and thought he could do whatever he wanted with his characters, no matter how preposterous their change of motive was, and fully believed his audience were his sheep and would keep...

    Thunder @ Suns Thursday game thread 12-23-2021

    One of the traits of our team is that we HATE losing. We actually hate losing more than we love winning. Now I can't get into the head of someone else to determine their motivation, but body language can speak volumes. Since Elfrid has been in the league his body language screams that he...

    They don't. Aiel are the most dangerous warriors in WoT. And if you think the pregnant women are tough, you should see the old women (not kidding).

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    You were right about episode 7... so good. Great back story on Lan and the speed up on Nynaeve and his relationship was well done. The Rand flashbacks were well timed and much needed. The flow of the story seems to be back on pace. I'm impressed with the sets. Tar Valon and Fal Dara looked...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    Yes, but their characters aren't that important to the overall story. Siuan is barely mentioned in book 1 and only becomes a minor part much much later. As the books continuously point out: all the Aes Sedai scheming is all for naught anway. So why waste precious time on side stuff when we...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    I didn't like this episode. Too many unnecessary changes and it didn't go anywhere. I would have rather had more dialogue on what happened to Matt and the dagger than the entire waste of time between Siuan and Morraine (which does nothing for the story progression). Plus, Padan Fain could...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    I loved the Mat mislead. Mat's sickness is slowly being revealed to both the characters and the audience. Saidin or something else... one wonders. The Liandrin casting appears solid. She has a unique face that fits the character. Bringing her in early opens a lot of doors. Especially...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime)

    I still have my 1st edition copy of Eye of the World that I picked up as a high schooler. I only tried it because I loved Jordan's work on Conan the Barbarian. I read the 1st 100 pages and thought, "Is this whole book going to be about barrels of beer and farming!?!" Then the Trolloc busted...

    Suns open Las Vegas Summer League August 8th, 2021

    I agree on the former. And that's not too bad when he's got Cam, Cam, Landry, and JaVale ahead of him. He doesn't have to be a superstar to contribute. If he can be a 3&D guy at the 4/5, which he looks capable of doing, then he'll contribute positively. A healthy Dario is a shade ahead of...

    NBA Draft 7-29-2021: Suns select?

    To be exact, Shai isn't a PG, he's a SG. But you were right about him none the less. Miles looked REALLY good last night. I watched the game live and he was making a bigger impact on both ends than even Quickley (who was lighting it up). He only ended with 1 steal, but that doesn't account...
