Lmfao at Kyrie hitting a 20 foot hook shot.

Mavs turning Williams, Curry and Holmes into PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford is great stuff. Doing it without giving up Josh Green is even better.

I wish people would give me as much credit for one thing I did well 16 years ago with lots of help and get endless chances because of it too.

Chris Vernon predicted at the beginning of the year that this 65 game experiment would change the instant that someone that everyone likes missed out on an award because of it, and I'm leaning more and more into that being true. The crazy thing in all of this, is that Kawhi has only missed what, 4 games?

Running this back from previous:
Wilt Chamberlain is the all time leader in career 70+ point games, with 5.
Second place is now a nine way tie with 1 each.
I had a chuckle when Mark Followill was running down all the 70 point games in history, and half of them were Wilt. I'm always surprised that MJ or Rockets era Harden never had one. The Booker 70 piece is still probably the most gross and forgettable of all of them.
-
Btw, 73 is tied for FOURTH MOST OF ALL TIME. But people get on tv and try to tell you that SGA is better
-
I made a joke at the beginning of the game that Luka would hit 80 because of his hot start. Little did I know that the Hawks shit defense would actually let him damn near get there.
-
Dallas managing to somehow knockoff Minnesota without Lively in the lineup was unexpected. As much as Mavs fans want to run Dwight Powell out of town, he busted his ass tonight.

So. I am originally from Mississippi. Once me and a few friends were watching A Time To Kill, and one of them dismissively asked why every movie based in MS had everyone covered in like, a sheen of sweat all the time. I had to point out to her that it's pretty accurate, since many of the courthouses didn't have A/C until the 2000's, and many still don't.

Last night I watched THE BURIAL. I don't make the rules, but if you want a good courtroom film, then it has to be set in Mississippi. Alabama also acceptable.

Indefinitely makes me hope he's getting sent off like Andy Bernard and just comes back as a whole new dude.

Is Draymond mentally ill? It's like the more his game declines, the more psychotic he gets.
The league is partially to blame for all this, because they've given him an insane amount forgiveness over his career, and it's like he's just trying to see what he can get away with now.
Also I told y'all that Headband Luka was real.

Last three games he's scored 117, grabbed 34 boards, and dished out 38 assists.
Tonight he had 29-10-10 at halftime! The first ever first half 25 point triple double.
The big questions around him are will he get enough support for his teammates and will he run out of gas.
I can tell you now, the support is there, but the bigger question is health. Kyrie, THJ, Lively and even Derrick Jones have been VERY good. Holmes and Williams have had moments. Unfortunately there have been regular injuries to Kleber, Tim and Josh Green(who has been pretty bad tbh).
Luka is playing at god level, so if the rest of these guys can avoid taking a shit on the court, things will be good. The only other thing I worry about is how bad they look when Luka is out.

LOL, Jordan could hang a triple-double on that Jazz team coming out of the front office.
Don't undersell the headband pal.

Headband Luka is here. League is cooked.

My post was definitely more in reference to Carol and Monica, just to be clear lol. That said, the point about Kamala is completely valid.
-
That is absolutely a "thing" in the film. I don't mind it it at all, but like Dolfan said, it all gets glossed over pretty quick. It gave me Supergirl/Lena Luthor vibes, in that they wanted to go for it, but also didn't want to.

It was fun. I thought the leads had good chemistry. The action looked good, and Iman Vellani's personality as Ms. Marvel was perfect. That said, the film definitely had some storyline and script issues that kept it from being something more. It glossed over many of its more dramatic and emotional moments. Leaned away from what could've been for some more interesting dramatic moments where Kamala realizes that Carol is a real person and doesn't fit all the ideals she created in her head, along with Kamala also coming to understand that as heroes they sometimes fail and can't save everyone. Those moments were definitely there but jettisoned quickly.
Not to pile on because there are so many people gloating over this film's "failure" right now so much that it disgusts me because I find it distasteful. IMHO the actors and Nia DaCosta were not at fault. I put this mainly on Kevin Feige and Victoria Alonso.
Secret Invasion makes even less sense after watching this film. Watching this film, it's almost like Secret Invasion never happened. What's bad is that Secret Invasion would've made more logical sense if it was set AFTER the events of this film.
This film actually sets up a proper motivation for the Skrulls anger at humans, Nick Fury, and Captain Marvel.
Once again, if you actually do Secret Invasion, it's not a short standalone miniseries. It's an Avengers level threat with all hands on deck and you need everyone involved. It's another reason why the Skrulls are just problematic characters if you want to use them.
I was looking for a way to describe the coverage of this film, and you nailed it. Distasteful is definitely the word. It was being called a failure before it ever released and now those same outlets are gloating over their self fulfilling prophecy. I *do* think it will have some decent word of mouth and finish ok, but it could have an ELEMENTALS type turnaround and still be called a failure.

Wow, I’m pretty sure I disagree with almost every part of that review, but the part I think I disagree with most is needing to see Secret Invasion. There’s essentially no mention of anything from that show, and arguably the Skrull situation in the movie almost entirely contradicts the situation from Secret Invasion.
Honestly, I think the only thing that is required viewing before seeing this is Wandavision, and even that is kinda pushing it. They do a good job of setting up who Kamala is, but didn't really fill in the blanks for Monica. Also pretty much saw Wandavision though.

Wouldn't call this movie "great", but it was absolutely a lot of fun and very charming. Iman Vellani as Kamala completely carries the movie, and if everyone else had matched her effort level, the movie would have been better for it. Ms. Marvel was easily my favorite D+ MCU show though, so maybe I'm biased. The cameos definitely worked in setting up other things rather than just being like "oh that person is here".

Speaking of that game, Ben Simmons actually played and put up a decent stat line (I did not see the game so I gave no idea how well he actually played)
10 pts on 5-8 shooting, 10 boards, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals. Even if he never gets back to even the limited offensive player he was, it would be nice if he gets back to being arguably the greatest all-around defender in the league.
Brooklyn seemed really committed to having Simmons operate in the post. I'm not sure that is the move for him, but otherwise his effort was definitely there. He played hard and had some good defensive moments.

Imagine watching this dude Derek Lively in the first two games and thinking Dallas didn't do the right thing in tanking two meaningless games. This dude is awesome.
Luka just had the most insane goddamn 4 minutes of basketball that you will see someone have to close this game.

I knew the finale was going to have a lot of setting up other stuff. It's just that what they set up isn't that interesting to me. It also doesn't help that Ray Stevenson passed away, and no one wants to see that part recast.

Well that Ahsoka finale was certainly a TV show that aired.
