QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 10:55 PM) Yep. Thibs sucked tonight. Use that depth on the bench. The depth that scores points. Taj - 28 minutes, 10 points Snell - 23 minutes, 10 points Brooks - 20 minutes, 11 points The only place where he screwed up personnel-wise was it turned out that he probably should have found more minutes for Mirotic, especially since we went to OT

Main thoughts: -Game 2, already, but D Rose has to be healthy -Pau Gasol is not fit for Thibodeau's defense. Lazy, slow. We'll see if he improves unlike Boozer. He does have size which helps his defense when they run right at him. -Taj played very badly down the stretch run. Just hurt? Hopefully. -Having Jimmy back will help on both ends. Since CLE doesn't have a Wade-like guy on O, we don't have the problem of picking who he guards. -Snell had a couple stinkers but overall looked pretty good and might have earned him a place in the rotation, at least when we need a long defender on the wing. -Cavs don't really look that good. We match up well with Love, Kyrie sucks. LBJ is LBJ. Thompson killed us tonight and exposed a general weakness that Pau can't box out but I don't expect him to play that well all the time. Varejao had several lucky buckets as well.

What a f***ing stupid call. Officials never wanted us to have this one

Hope Taj playing like horses*** down the stretch is just a remnant of the ankle injury

Taj again.

Both guys off their feet

This Cleveland team doesn't scare me at all. They're good, but no juggernaut.

I'd prognosticate that we'll see Pau in the Boozer role until he shows some ability to move his feet and hustle defensively

Pau caught being lazy on defense again

Taj has been the single worst player on the floor for the past 3-5 minutes

Overall, officiating wasn't too bad but sticking that call in there to ensure the game got tied is just awful

Now, you have to get the last shot. No chucking it up early like last possession, which very well may have cost us the game

That call is unforgivably bad. This is the s*** that makes you not believe in the integrity of the game. How do you call that?

Kirk is our healthy point guard.

KIRK!!!!!! DERRICK WHO?!?!?!?

And then a good no-call between Noah and Love.

A couple bad calls in a row there...

Only Thibs would leave Rose on the bench like that and have it really work out well

Snell playing well. Refs haven't been giving LBJ everything like I'm accustomed to either

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) Thompson has hurt us more in this game than Love and Kyrie combined. Pau has racked some blocks, but has otherwise been horrid on D. Getting murdered on the boards

I doubt KC makes the playoffs next year. They're not very good. They got hot at the right time, but that team just isn't that impressive.

I want to get an in-person look at the Nexus 6. Might just have to get one since I can get it on-contract via AT&T. Rumored 32GB on-contract price is $50; that's what it was when AT&T accidentally published the product page pre-announcement. It's just huge, though, so moreso than the other bigger screen phones, I'd have to get a good look at it. I'd just do the Moto X 2014, but the humongous battery in the Nexus 6 is a pretty meaningful upgrade compared to the smaller Moto X

Lindsey Graham jokes at private club gathering: "If I get to be president, white men in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency." The only funny joke is the one that he didn't mean to be - that he can't say a thing about religion without briefly losing his mind about the evil Muslims

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 11:35 PM) My friend just said this was one of the most intense series of the past decade and that the Giants were the underdog. No. This was one of the worst World Series of the past decade and the Giants were certainly not the decade. Well the Giants were certainly not the decade, I'd agree. I think this was a fabulous World Series, it was very exciting and was a fitting end to an exciting playoffs for MLB. I'm sad it had to end.

f*** the Royals. SF had a really likable team and wow, what a coming out party for Bumgarner. With Lincecum and Cain around, he always had to share the spotlight. Not this time. Unforgettable playoff performance.
