On the bright side, this gives me good reason to watch some classic episodes. Balance of Terror is my favorite. The Galileo 7 is the first I remember watching.

Hey man. Let me get through this emotional rollercoaster that is being a long suffering die hard Warriors fan. I'm still learning how to react to losses when the expectation is to win. This is such a huge paradigm shift.

No!!

I'm pretty happy with Zachary's. It's Chicago style, but I like it.

Day One purchase for me.

Or I could still be in my irrational depressive state. Warriors lost on the road to Memphis, Atlanta, OKC, and now Cleveland. Those are the teams giving me pause for the playoffs.

Ok. That loss put me through the wringer of the five stages. Obviously I went through denial, anger, and bargaining last night. Going through depression this morning. I'm ready to accept that the Dubs got whupped and may have been exposed. Chuck is right. The Warriors are soft and jumps shooting teams can't win the championship. DOOMED.

Why assume that they're even going to seal the box with shrink wrap? The backer Collector's boxes are not being sold at retail.

More from MCA's twitter:

"Crew." Nah. I was talking about Lebron's entourage. Stephen Curry. Shimmying his way to the MVP since 2K15.

Gosh Volo. Your butthurt over any perceived slight against Lebron is so cute. You care more about it than him or his crew. There. There.

Stop spreading myths, lies, and innuendos. No one here claims Lebron isn't good anymore. Do you only listen to Skip Bayless? If the season ended today, Lebron just doesn't deserve to win the MVP. PERIOD. Shots weren't falling tonight for the Dubs. They had 32 assists despite only shooting 42%. They decimated Cleveland's defense with their ball/player movement but couldn't hit shots. They're not going to win when Curry and Klay shoot 10 for 30. Just not their night. Let's not get hysterical. Players are allowed off nights in February, especially when they are in the middle of the longest road trip of the year and only have two home games this month.

Welp. That was a convincing victory by the Cavs over the Warriors. Lebron for 42.

Iiked this thread more when we were discussing Angry Joe's PC street cred and posting his videos.

You factor in a combination of A) Is the player playing at an elite level? B) Is the player's team a strong contender? Atlanta, like the Spurs last year, don't have a dominant player, so therefore they don't have any legitimate MVP candidates. Curry's lockbox tight case is that his team is playing at near historic levels, and that he individually is having the best season of any player in the league. Harden fits box A & B. But the Rockets aren't as good as the Warriors, and Curry is having the better season (arguable, but true). PS The Warriors roster this season is essentially the same as last year's squad that won 51 games. I place alot of the credit in their team and individual player performance on coaching.

I'm actually in the Pro-Lebron camp and I agree, D-Rose robbed Lebron. There have been countless studies on this, but for elite athletes (for a litany of reasons) their prime years are generally ages 26-29. This is pretty universal from track & field, tennis, hoops, baseball, etc. Look at James. His body started to fail him in the playoffs last year. This year, he is obviously not as explosive and his back is giving out. He's still an elite player and will be for a handful more seasons...but let's not delude ourselves into thinking that he'll be the same hyper efficient Lebron during his Miami years. When healthy, Lebron James is the best player in the game. Durant #2. Lebron has missed significant time, as has Durant. The stars are in alignment and this is probably Curry's best shot at actually winning an MVP. Hopefully there aren't too many knuckleheads that'll vote Harden over Curry. Golden State is having a magical season and I am hoping against all hope that they don't turn into the 2001 Mariners. I've suffered through too many years of awful Oakland basketball to deserve this type of a C-tease.

Golden State would do their due diligence and think long and hard about a Curry for Lebron trade...before ultimately politely decling, hanging up then ROFLOPTING. Curry is 4 years younger and just entering his prime. Lebron has already reached his peak and his body is starting to decay The trade won't work for Golden State because they'll need a PG and they have a surplus of wings and tweeners. The Warriors are the best team and no team has been this dominant since the 96 Bulls. Why do something silly and trade away their leader and best player? *edit* "Do I also need to remind you what happened when he missed 7-8 games earlier? L0L" Missing games is actually a negative mark against your MVP candidacy. "Vegas and the Experts." They set the standards and lines like it or not. Again, against this standard and expectations, Lebron and the Cavaliers are grossly under-performing.

Bioware and James Ohlen absolutely got Star Wars right with Knights of the Old Republic. The lightsaber fights looked cool. When the twist happened, that was the first and only time I probably had such a visceral holy S**** reaction in a video game --outside of my being freaked out from the haunted hotel in VTM:B Jolee Bindo and HK-47 were fun and memorable NPC's. Props to Gaider. Bastilla was cool --as the prissy princessy type The Korriban double cross was really good fun. Again, props to Gaider. The game's overall quality allowed Obsidian to follow up with the sequel =)

Putting lines on the bet? I don't know just how much Sensuki knows about the inns from looking into the game files --thereby potentially spoiling the lines, but we know that 5 inns were backed on Kickstarter, and maybe 1 through Paypal. Therefore the over/under itself has to be 7. I'll take the under at 6.

"The romantic NPC should be picky, it's obvious he/she has high standards. In Planescape: Torment, we made it pretty clear that Annah and Fall-From-Grace didn't express interest in just anyone, and the player was the only one out of thousands that ever piqued their interest." http://forums.obsidian.net/blog/1/entry-79-blog-o-romance/

Volo, No. I’ve already demonstrated raw numbers depicting what happens when both Curry and Lebron are on and off the court for their respective teams. Curry has a greater positive impact than does Lebron. No knock, as these two have greater impact on their team’s performance by a wide margin than any other players in the league. This includes Harden, Durant, Westbrook, Gasol, Z-Bo. As far as the talent disparity, look at all the preseason predictions by both Vegas and the Experts. Golden State received very little love, and the Cavs were the odds on favorite to win the title. Read my original post on this thread. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/68989-pro-hoops-2k14-2k15/?p=1523385 Here’s ESPN: http://espn.go.com/nba/notebook/_/page/nba1415/2014-15-nba-champion-predictions Of the 28 “pundits,” 14 chose Cleveland. 1 chose Golden State (and he happens to be a local Bay Area writer). Dubs over/under for the season was 50 ½ games. Golden State was 30-1 to win the chip. Cleveland’s over/under was 59. They were 3-2 favorites to be champs. Curry and the Warriors are absolutely crushing these predictions while Cleveland is severely under-performing against expectation. How can Lebron be MVP when: A) He's having a down year B) His team this season is not even going to come close to the over/under.

I'll comment after work and the Cavs v Dubs tonight.
