well that's an entirely different situation ..... It's likely Cleveland vs Atlanta in the Eastern Finals The West is too tough to call but for the hell of it - GS versus the Spurs (The Clippers have NO bench)

By your own evidence, that doesn't correlate to "greatest shooter in history". He's not the best 3-pt shooter in history and certainly not the best overall shooter in history. There are several guards (all of them in the Hall of Fame iirc) who shot much better than Curry. And depending on the metric you want to choose he's might not even be the best shooter at guard right now. Curry had a phenomenal year but the hyperbole is a bit thick. BTW, I agree about Harden. What's interesting is that GS is 8-1 when Curry is held under 15 points, while Houston is 3-5 (iirc) when Harden is held under 15 points. So which team relies on their star more? GS has Klay and the likely DPOY and Houston had squat. Meh, if Curry wins good for him but MVPs are simply a trophy to throw in the case. Rings are what matter. Tough break for Atlanta losing Sefolosha - tough perimeter defender.

What? No fancy metric to pull out to support your case? I am disappoint .........

Fact: Steph's 47.1% career FG percentage doesn't even break the top 250 all time NBA (excluding the ABA) career field goal percentage. Calling him the all time greatest shooter is (uses his best Bob Uecker voice) "JUST" a bit over the top.

Neither can I, I might have forgotten my password but you're supposed to use your GOG account now and I can remember its password. I was getting the Polish version of the website as well for some reason. Still, always fun to speculate how you pronounce words with no vowels and half a dozen different bits dangling off various letters. I had the same problem - couldn't merge my accounts or access the CDProjekt forums. So I switched browsers and went to their forum page via Google Chrome and everything is working now. Even have the right language.

Give it up Agiel. Having a discussion when someone sees the following two incidents as identical is ridiculous: 1) A US RC-135W recon plane flying in international airspace (even the Russians admit that) with transponders ON and is intercepted in international airspace and then buzzed by an Su-27 (the Su-27 flew to ~20 feet of the RC-135W - which is just asterisking irresponsible and incredibly asterisking stupid btw and the same sort of BS flying that caused the Hainan Island Incident). (Transponder code: AE01D5 Registration: 64-14849 Callsign: TELEX97) As opposed to this: 2) A pair of Russian Backfire bombers with transponders OFF and cross from international airspace and violating US (or UK) airspace. They are then intercepted and escorted out of the area with the interceptors flying a safe distance. (and the video tape proves it) In fact, the Russians routinely fly with transponders off - the most recent incident occurring with an intercept by Swedish fighters over the Blatic or an incident in December when a Russian Backfire nearly collided with a commercial jet. FWIW, the Hainan Island incident arose from a dispute as to EXACTLY what constituted International Airspace around the island. The US and multiple nations do not agree with the Chinese assessment as to where the boundary exists and the US was following International Norms and not the more restrictive Chinese claims. In any case, the EP-3 was flying with transponders on and the Chinese pilot, Lt Cdr Wang (who had a history of too close for comfort flybys on previous occasions, including one caught on camera where he is holding a sign with his email addy clearly visible) clipped the wing of the US EP-3. Wang ejected but his body was never recovered. (It was surmised he ejected UNDER the EP-3 and was blown in the underbelly of the plane. After the incident, Chinese monitoring of US recon flights continued but no similarly stupid close encounters have since been repeated.

Mysterious afflictions that appear to be one thing but can be explained by natural (albeit uncommon) causes like poisoning from certain plants - I believe there was an episode in the first season of Outlander where a boy was believed to be possessed by demons but the cause lay in some plant he had eaten - something similar in The Devil's Novice iirc

Another incident with black men getting shot by police

Yes. Two different press conferences. The earlier one was moron free; the second one - not so much. -

Link? I saw the press conference and no one was screaming at anyone. For a change, the mayor and police chief should be commended. Far too often, when stuff like this happens the mayor and police chief try and justify murder, if not help cover up the incident. There were several disruptions when people shouted at the Police Chief, he even said at one time he was going to end the interview but he continued Link or it didn't happen. I watched the interview on Sky on the TV but I'll see if I can find a podcast or something similar No sure what Valsuelm was watching but the crowd did shout out when the Police Chief was talking (not during the Mayor's address though) ..... I'm not sure I would call it screaming but there were disruptions .... http://www.abcnews4.com/story/28743212/live-now-on-abc-news-4-police-release-details-on-officer-involved-shooting About 8 mins in there were cries from the crowd of "No Justice" while the Chief was talking .... -
The Cadfael Mysteries might be one place to start. The Devil's Novice and A Morbid Taste for Bones perhaps?

And the A's won their first opening day in ten years. I was switching between this game and the Duke -Wisconsin final. Sonny Gray owns Texas. 1.74 career ERA versus the Rangers. I wrote that game off when I saw the matchup. It's going to be a long LONG year in Arlington ....
