QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) My friend emailed me the voter guide he received for Los Angeles this election. Holy. Crap. It's like 70 pages. There's one county in California that has a 224 page voter guide.

Derrick Rose has destroyed the Knicks' ability to move the ball. Man, it's crazy how much their offense looks like the Bulls' of the past few years. Rose has then all all game. Melo has been reduced to no more than a catch and release guy, and Porzingas got 3 freaking shot attempts last night. Knicks fans are calling for Phil to be canned, and it's starting to look like Rose will fade out of the league sooner rather than later. Hell of a super team.

I think regardless of tonight's outcome the city is going to burn.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 1, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) Has anyone followed his first few games in NY? Is he sitting out for general soreness yet? He's just been his usual inefficient self. He's made a couple decent passes, admired a shot here or there, and gotten to the rim a few times. But the rest has been a disaster. The Joakim Noah deal, though, now that's a BAD DEAL. He's about 6 steps slower than he needs to be. They have run quite a bit of the offense through him, though.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 1, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) The way you guys throw around the term racism though it literally means anything that results in a negative outcome for a minority. Derrick Rose got traded? GarPax are racist. Obama can't get a SC justice confirmed? Racist. Lester Holt was interrupted by two rich white people? Clearly racist. False! In said trade they acquired the son of a Cuban immigrant, a Spaniard, and a black guy.

This team is a legit top 5 seed with second round potential. If everyone stays healthy, of course.

I love this team so hard.

This team is a breath of fresh air and feels like a legit NBA team. 4 seed is ours.

I guess this is the best place I can say how much I love the The Pretty Reckless album. It's like an updated, female-led Alice In Chains in sound. Very modern grunge. Anyway, I highly recommend. https://play.spotify.com/artist/2R57sY41L9X...p;autoplay=true

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:18 AM) I have had a very strange relationship with this neighbor. About 6-7 years ago we got new next door neighbors at my mom's house that I grew up in. We were both very friendly from the beginning. Fast forward a couple years and I see them come into the restaurant/brewery I bartended at right by our houses. After this, every time they come in, they ask to sit with me. They'd come in, we'd talk and laugh they would spend about $40-50, tip me 25-40% and we'd go on with our lives. They are a mid 60's couple and I would mostly talk to the wife. He is retired Chicago PD. The guy would say some strange stuff to me. Stuff about race, women, etc. He was mostly quiet when they were out to eat. My mom despised the guy though. She is a shy nurse that barely talks about others unless she's saying positive things. She claimed he was giving her dirty looks, claims he was rude, etc. My dad and I basically told her she's just imagining it, don't worry about it. So then I was a junior in college and I was still driving the remains of the family car my dad told I have three months to buy a car as the family car was going to my other sister. So I buy a car but at this point I am living and working in the city so my car is down there. The family car that I used to drive stayed parked in front of one of two slabs of street in front of my house. After I graduate and work I go back for another degree and move back to the suburbs. So I haven't seen my neighbors much if at all the last few years and they probably don't even know I have a new car. With the silver pos in front of the big slab of street in front of my house, my parents in the garage/driveway, I have to part in the street. So I park on the other slab of street in front of my house. This spot is about 80% in front of my house and 20% in front of the aforementioned neighbors house. The street is public. I park there for several weeks, maybe even months I am not sure. My car is always parked as close to my house as possible. All of a sudden, I'd come home after work and he'd be parked in the spot. Sometimes with his Mercedes and sometimes with his F350. His truck would nearly protrude our driveway because it's so massive. When we back out to exit the neighborhood, we have to back out around his truck as it sits a foot off our driveway. To what started as something he did every once in a while, he now parks there more than I do. The dumbest part is, he has two spots in the garage, an open driveway and only two cars. When I would park in the spot, he would just park in his garage. When he would park in the spot, I would rotate parking in front of a couple other neighbors houses. So I get feel like I am annoying someone every time I get in and out of my car. Last couple weeks his truck hasn't moved from "my spot." A couple weekends ago, I moved my car out of the spot, picked up a friend who lives in the neighborhood, dropped him off to the closest bar to our houses and went back home. It was 11 minutes roundtrip. I came back, his truck is there and his garage is closing as I pull up. This is at noon on a Sunday. I'm convinced the guy is watching the spot on his elaborate set of security cameras. At this point, I've had enough. I am not going to be an asshole because my parents have to live next to this guy after I do but I I decided I needed to talk to him. I planned to be friendly and then change the subject to basically asking him how he sees the situation. I'm mowing the lawn and he pulls up in his other car and parks it in the driveway. I stop the mower and say "Mr. Schmo" and walk towards him. He appeared to have not hear me (I am a loud person) and closed the garage. It doesn't seem he wants to talk to me. What do I do with this guy? I had a friend recommend buying the cheapest Vespa possible and just keeping it there because the spot is big enough for my car and the vespa but not for his truck and the vespa. That would be hilarious but probably not realistic. Some people are just assholes. When we moved last October, I noticed our neighbor always parked in front of my house instead of their own, despite the fact they had the space available. While having no legal recourse, I went up to someone I didn't know at all, introduced myself, and asked if they could park in front of their house when spots are available. No issue whatsoever. So, you are parking somewhat in front of this guy's house. It's clear he's made like a f***ing Mount Kilimanjaro out of this mole hill, but perhaps there's something you can do. This silver POS, can it possibly be moved back the 2 feet you need? I'd try to adjust your habit prior to talking to him about it. If he's parking there, doesn't that mean he's 80% in front of your parents' house? Anyway, I'd do that first. Second, I'd invest in a ski mask and slash the guy's tires with regularity while wearing a fat suit.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 04:50 AM) Warriors fans are already shook. They talkin' about they might need to trade Klay for some rim protection. lol. The Spurs were magical last night. The song remains the same for the Warriors - they are going to get chewed up inside and will need to hit 30 or so 3's against the Spurs to beat them. That said, they will probably do that more often than not.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Sounds like the new look knicks didn't look that good. They didn't. Jo is one of the worst contracts in the league. Dude is as bad as he was with the Bulls last year and maybe worse. Rose was his usual inefficient self. The Knicks looked a mess. I am so glad Rose is gone.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) He was their best batter lol Those results don't make it a sound decision.

Facebook just got real quiet.

So can anyone tell me why Maddon got so cute with his lineup? Did he really start a guy who hasn't seen live pitching in month higher in the order than Baez? So overrated. Here's hoping this trend continues.

There's some insurance...

This home plate ump has been a travesty all night.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 10:06 PM) It's not gross, it's true. Accomplished? What has she done? Like when SNL zinged her last night on the "last 30 years debate question." I don't think you understood that joke. The point of it was Trump keeps saying that stupid statement and then Hillary has an arsenal of responses ready to go because she's done so much. I've been with her since the beginning and am proudly with Hillary today. Bring on election day.
