What should I watch on Netflix to help kill these final three hours?

I am debating between:

In The Heat Of The Night
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (the US/Fincher version)
The Nice Guys
The Neon Demon

Thank you NBA thread.

If you haven't seen In the Heat of the Night, watching it. It's an American classic.

its such a no brainer that its literally never happened in any sport(that i care about) ever?

LeBron did leave a 61 win Cavs team to go a team with Wade and Bosh. I guess that's one less great player than the Warriors had when Durant joined, but it's a pretty similar situation.

the 2nd best WS player on the cavs team he left was anderson verajao. the 3rd was mo williams. this is the same as leaving a thunder team with westbrook? they probably keep ibaka if he doesn't hang them out to dry for awhile too

Yeah that's true; that roster was soooooooo old. Shaq, Z, and Varejao's combined.age was 100+ iirc.

I just have a hard time calling a 61 win team mediocre even if they're in the East. Ignore me, I'm just hairsplitting :cheers:

He didn't nickname himself that (it goes back to him in high school), and King _____ is the most common nickname in sports.

Embraced, whatever. The point is all the hate directed at Curry/Durant is incredibly hypocritical and tends to come from people lionizing LeBron at the same time while ignoring stuff like the Decision, the 2-3 years of professional flopping, demanding players like Daniel Ewing/Damon Jones etc. During his original stint with the Cavs, signing with a management team with no experience, etc.

Frankly none of the three are that bad for professional athletes, especially from previous generations. JFC Magic exposed his wife and children to HIV, Bird's favorite pasttime was getting drunk and fighting in bars, etc.

They all seem like pretty decent guys and they're incredibly professional for the most part.

George W Bush saw into Putin's soul and knew he was a good man. It was a different time, before cold war 2 started because Russia objected to regime change operations in Ukraine and then Syria. It was a time before popular finance blogs were put on an official list of Russian propaganda dupes for criticizing Hillary Clinton and various foreign wars. It was a better time, french touch and electro house were keeping clubs across the world banging, Mark thecobrasnake Hunter was taking pics of LA's coolest club attendees and Yvan Rodic was doing the same in Europe.

Yes, this makes alot of sense: let's risk losing in the Finals AGAIN in epic fashion, and give up on all the revenue from being remembered as a legendarily great team, just so I can make an extra $12 million dollars, when I'm already a multi-billionaire who spends $12 million each month just on gas for my fleet of Ferrari's. Oh, and we only get half (60% as the home team?) of that revenue anyway.

Perfect sense.

Oh, and as mentioned, Game 6 would be played in Cleveland anyway.

In non-conspiracy land, very very few NBA owners are owners because they need to make money from the team. The Warriors are hugely profitable without trying to extend series artificially. This is a terrible argument.

Not that I agree with the original sentiment, but I think you are drastically underestimating​ the irrational+self destructive greed of modern billionaires.
