We need to stop acting like we're 1 piece away from a championship. Last time I checked, it took us 10 years to rebuild a dynasty after Magic got the butt virus.

I get your point but tbh before the past two years that hasn't been true. Now you are trying to be funny but even when we are not good we rarely build from the draft.

But nice try. Should have said to bad you have no choice no one will sign there ... or something along that vein if you were going for accuracy, plus laughs.

Either way Deeps, you my nicca.

Lakers owe that pick to the 76ers (top 3 in 2016 and in 2017) they're going to lose that pick. The Kings obviously wouldn't do that deal for just the 27th, 34th, and Randle.

Fine. "had the Lakers in 5 or 6" --- ain't '13. Your 1st 5th was in there, snug as a bug in a fuckin' filthy Indian rug. In the bitter end you had to win a 2nd 5th. Kobe's 5th is his only 5th. They're ain't no fuckin' twin hidin' away in a basement in Texas. 1, 1 5th!!!

Saying the Spurs "had" the title in 2013 is misleading, and only a saying born out of hype. 28 seconds is an ETERNITY in the NBA, especially when you're only down 5 and you've got the best player in the world and the best 3-point shooter in NBA history on your home floor. It's never in the bag in a close game like that until the clock reads 0:00. Stranger things have happened. Just ask Reggie Miller. :lol

Why does it matter? The only thing that matters is whether you win your last game in the playoffs, nothing else matters. You came up with it.

Now all of a sudden how you lost it matters?

Now if your Lakers brethren would do the same...we could have an actual discussion around here. On our first 5th...a lot of Spurs fan think it has somehow diminished (not erased) because we actually did have our redemption in '14.

You're picking the wrong scab. Spurs had no expectations of beating the Heat in '13, none. There's nothing to take.

Which thus led him to his redemption. His re-invigoration from hocking knock-off liquor to once again playing the game he waxed poetically about in The Hustler ("pool cue is a part of my arm.") That's the significance of, "Hey, I'm back."

Duncan had a similar renewal of spirit. You can say Amy was Forest Whittaker in this regard. Then Duncan quit showing his ass, grabbed his Balabushka, and proceeded to lay fuckin' waste.

Kobe is Julian, and he still hasn't wiped his gd nose.

Which thus led him to his redemption. His re-invigoration from hocking knock-off liquor to once again playing the game he waxed poetically about in The Hustler ("pool cue is a part of my arm.") That's the significance of, "Hey, I'm back."

Please. He got an eye test. Whoop-dee-do.

Sometimes the first step to a renewal of spirit is a modest one, Cub.

And he needed to cut ties with Cruise and Mastrantonio. They were ready to be on their own, and he was also ready to be on his own, no longer needing to live vicariously through their youth.

Fine, but, don't whine because you got hustled. Christ, it was weak and ugly. I can't watch that movie knowing that part is coming. Should not have done that.

Yes, because Felson was a weak man at that point, too fearful to actualize himself through pool, his passion. George C. Scott and his cronies were long gone, but yet Felson still used that as an excuse: "Somebody retired me." This is also why Cruise's words, "You used me!" have additional resonance. Cruise was looking for a father figure, a mentor, but Felson was simply using him as someone to live through.

At the end, it is hinted they can develop a real friendship not based on false pretenses, "If I don't get you now, I'll get you in Houston." The words were delivered light-heartedly.

Good stuff, Midst.

I'll have to reflect on it. It's never occurred to me.

Color of Money was about Vince becoming Eddie and Eddie becoming Vince. Eddie was too serious about himself, about the game. He sold the purity of the game for a pocket full of change, and he had a very long hard road getting back to the game itself. Vincent, on the other hand, had no such issues. He was just the opposite, carefree and ignorant of the seriousness of the game that Eddie spent his life worshiping. Eddie's entire self image was of a hustler, a pool shark.. serious and calculating and street wise. Vincent preferred the video game, pool was a distraction just to pass time. During the movie Vincent became embedded in the seriousness of the game, of his shot, of appreciating his ability to "just miss by that much" on a bank into the side pocket. Eddie on the other hand was having fun with his female companion, playing the game and enjoying it and didn't think he'd win but did, and when he found out that the student became the teacher, he was pissed at first but I think took credit for getting Vincent there.

Eddie kicked the kids out because he felt he wasn't fit to stud hoss Vincent any longer, having been taken to the woodshed by Amos (Forest Whitaker) over and over with that sneaky Pete, uncased. Never play a guy for money who carries a sneaky pete sans case, and never bet against a guy who's nicknamed after a city.

Eddie didn't turn it around because of his eye test. He turned it around because he hadn't played in years and thought he could walk right into it again. He had a good opening set runout and got a bit cocky, thought he never lost a step. His turnaround was the practice sets, running through those time tested sets ad nauseum to get his stroke back, teach his muscles, stop the chicken winging chili dipping shit.

That's all it was. Oh, and his hair was perfect.

Because in the USA, "local" means immediate area. When we say we were raised locally we mean not only in this state, but in this county or even this city. You seem to be using it to mean this country, which is not a typical use of the word. If you weren't from Mypos that wouldn't be happening.
