Or Hungarians don't, anyways. They'll lay out the most beautiful homemade bread and meat platter for you. But ask them to put a second slice of bread on top of the first meat and bread layer and they get real confused. Things that they do have in their favour: high level lard and pate game.

Or palachinka maybe when it has fruit and nut filling is probably the closest to balkan pbj, that's like a flaky crepe with both fruit filling and nuts from time to time. Cevapi is the closest to a true balkan dish you can get that's a sandwich, sausage in a flatbread

Makes Pierce's non-stop gum flapping even more hilarious.

Makes Pierce's non-stop gum flapping even more hilarious. My memories are vague, but it seems like Ray Allen was very unhappy in Milwaukee for quite a while, and they were just a middling good team. People speculated about Durant leaving Oklahoma City, because it's Oklahoma City, but he never seemed disgruntled, and they were on the verge of making the finals several times. It seems like there can only be one of everything, there's only store, there's only one website, there's only one NBA team. People are nostalgic for the time when the world wasnt filled with monoliths and so they take it out on Kelvin "Tupac" Durant

Ray Allen was on the Sonics. Bucks traded him there because George Karl hated him.

BobHoward posted:If Karl Malone didn't get hurt that Lakers team probably wins the title. When he was on the floor their offense clicked, when he wasn't it was a tire fire. Wasn't the bigger issue with them that Gary Payton never figured out how to run the offense, and Shaq and Kobe were back to fighting like spoiled brats?

When was the last time we were two weeks from the end of the season without a more-or-less clear cut MVP favorite? I am utterly fascinated by this race and I cannot decide who I think will win of Westbrook/Harden/Kawhi/LeBron/Derrick Rose

On paper the the team with the all time wins record losing is more relevant. I watched both series and really thought OKC exploited major weaknesses and had the 2 best players. And then they just choked! The Finals were crazy but one could argue Lebron was the best player and Kyrie had a Dwayne Wade-like finals. Add in the whole Draymond drama and i'm still more shocked that OKC lost their last best chance to win a ring.

Went to my first ever NBA game last night, Atlanta at Charlotte. It was the best live sporting event I've ever been to, so much better than an NFL game, better than a Triple A baseball game, and I haven't been to an MLB game in ages so I can't really compare the two. We had really good seats, thanks to free tickets from one of my wife's coworkers. Trip report: Cody Zeller is even ganglier and more awkward in person than he appears on TV. Dwight Howard is a gigantic specimen of a genetic freak human. He backed Zeller down like he was made of tissue paper, and put in a solid two-hand jam, one of several of those he had during the game. I can only imagine what he must have been like to watch during his prime. Kemba, one of my favorite players and a fellow UConn alum, didn't have a great game. He seemed out of sorts somehow. Jeremy Lamb, also a UConn product, looked pretty good. Briante Weber, Charlotte's backup PG, is faaaaaaaaast. He had a couple fast breaks that led to nothing, but he can really move. Jose Calderon, despite being 35, is deceptively athletic and quick. I was honestly surprised at that old man. Dennis Schroder's hair is just as dumb in real life. He is also quite fast. Nic Batum forced too many ugly shots, and both teams (but Charlotte was worse about it) were shooting way too early in the shot clock, and bad shots at that. The crowd was pretty lifeless. Spectrum Center was only 2/3 full, and most people were busy just looking at their phones all night. My wife didn't like me yelling trash at Atlanta, but I had to tell her it's just part of the fan experience. Marvin Williams is good, and he looks rather chunky in his uniform, haha. The halftime entertainment was utterly terrible. It was about twenty-five young girls doing some sort of riverdance bullshit in different-colored sequin getups. Just terrible. For a game featuring two garbage teams in a meaningless contest, it was so much goddamn fun and I cannot wait to go to another one.

If they end up #2, he's gotta be #5. 2 seed that startef like 1-13 or whatever, being a real good defender and cool at lefty dunks. He gets my vote. Who elsr is on there? Russ Harden Kawhi Lebron --- IT Wall Butler George Derozan Cp3 AD Gasol Hayward/gobert Im not saying these are in contention for mvp btw ButtWolf fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Mar 21, 2017 |
