Some reporter just suggested this to Silver

[lefty]

A tournament to earn the top draft picks.
(i caught the last part of Silver 's comments on that, so feel free to correct me)

[lefty]

And yes that reporter was not white

[rayjayjohnson]

that sounds a faggy as bill simmons stupid tournament for the 8 seed he bangs on about.
yeah, good idea. make teams play an extra 4 games just to get more fatigued and guarantee a first round sweep (unless you're the griz and you draw the spurs, of course)

[lefty]

And lol at Silver strongly believing that no team has ever been tanking

If you'd a bothered to look behind you that middle-aged white guy hootin' & hollerin' about O & shit and encouraging Stern to suspend Amare & Co. & not suspend Duncan was your's truly. Your old dad.......son.

I'm waiting for "Conan The Barbarian" to get a head start on the DVR. It's on the shelf in DVD form, but, it ain't the same that-a-way.

I watched it a year ago in glorious 35mm on the big screen in Austin. With the opening shot of Arnold on the throne and that booming Basil Poleoudouris soundtrack kicking in. If you're jealous, I forgive you.

[UZER]

When thread originally watched it at the theater, it was a silent film. the booming soundtrack was a piano player in the back of the room.

I keep fucking those type opportunities up. The kids begged me to go to "300" at the I-Max. Nope, I was too good. "It's bullshit." I regret that decision to this day.

Austin Drafthouse had a 1982 revival last summer, so they re-released all those great films from 82 in their original format. All these movies I grew up on with VHS, DVD etc...but seeing Conan, The Thing, Tron and Road Warrior in 35mm was something else. I never realized how well those movies work with a large audience but they do.
Don't worry, I've missed plenty of opportunities. The Drafthouse had a 70mm print of Lawrence of Arabia just recently, plus a really rare 70mm print of Michael Cimino's Year of the Dragon which is a personal fave. Missed them both. I just try to be more ready for the next time they show something cool.

I agree that is retarded to play an extra 4 games, they would not stand a chance.....

BTW Spurs swept the Grizz last year to make up for that ;)

Ouch. I feel your pain.

true. just have to be patient for it to return.


sorry lefty for the thread derail, this was one of your best threads yet. :tu

[mudyez]

Wouldn't it be fun if it was a "loser advances" tournament with the winner getting the top pick?

Imagine a Milwaukee vs. Philly final with the loser getting the 1st pick and the winner getting 2nd! I'm sure Milwaukee would play Sanders at PG and some Philly fan would break MCWs legs with a steel pipe the evening before the game!

I'd pay to see that Adam Silver!

No. I'm thanking Stern for suspending Amare & not suspending Duncan.

DUNCAN would give you nary a moment of peace, Dale. Your lazyboy will have been locked at 90 degrees and you would see Nash's grinning face every day you woke up.

[irishock]

But it'd also invalidate DUNCAN's PG theory. How the hell's he gonna live thru that?

Woulda been awful, DUNCAN is quick little fucker with a smart mouth on him. He's caught me a couple times tiptoeing thru the tulips. The cocknocker.

I'd have to hear the talk radio here every single day as well. They have a way here, even ringless to act like they're something special. With a ring? I do not know if I could stand it. You might end up reading about me the papers:::Elderly man goes on rampage after Suns win NBA Title. "His wife lamented her husband's lifestyle of hatred and numbers counting. 'I tried to tell Dale, but, he would not listen. I'll return now to Ohio and my 96-year-old mother who loved Dale as I have. First though I must buy a new wardrobe from Saks. Thank you.'"

The powers that be have made it so that you may exist without the hardship of Duncan's fifth or Nash's first. Be thankful that it is this and that is all.
