Sounds like Kawhi to Lakers is more or less done. And we were this close to a competitive, wide open league this year...
Not to say Kawhi to Lakers doesn‘t suck, but the whole crying about a competitive league does get old when your current champs are the Toronto Raptors.
Who beat Milwaukee in the ECF.
Beat GS. Who were a dynasty for the last 5 years but still. Golden State. Also ran since RunTMC.
Also playoff contenders:
A team from Oklahoma and the friggin Clippers.
Not in the Playoffs: Your league mascot and biggest star.
Your 2018 Eastern Champs.
Teams from Big Markets that have not mattered in 5+ years: Los Angeles, Chicago, New York.

No real surprises tonight (okay, I'm a bit surprised ROY wasn't a bit closer, given how Doncic kinda faded down the stretch while Young kept improving, but I think Luka still deserved the win, so NBD)
But, man, MVP feels hollow after watching Kawhi erase Giannis for large chunks of the ECF, and stake a pretty fucking excellent claim to "Best Player on the Planet" status.
Giannis still deserved the award, he was the best player in the regular season, but it sure would've felt less anticlimactic if he got it before game 1 of the ECF.
Yeah. The whole „Awards 3 weeks after last game of the finals“ is anti-climatic af.

*coughDavidRobinsoncough*
... And now that Will is going to ban me
Isn‘t it consensus that David Robinson was not a winner? Dennis Rodman said as much in his first book and Hakeem showed the whole world. Both of these occurences happening before Timmy even arrived.
KG on the other hand got dealt the worst card with Minnesota‘s management. I would not put the blame on him.

This is gonna blow up worse than 03-04 and whatever year Dwight happened was.

Harden is about to have his fourth top two mvp finish in five years. That's all-time great level. He keeps at this level another four or five years, he's better than Hakeem.
I don't say that lightly. Hakeem is one of my two all-time favorite non-Pistons.
I admit to be biased towards the players of my youth, it‘s just that the game today is so different to 30 years ago.
Harden is king of today‘s game and his massively inflated numbers attest to that.
Is he an all-time great player? Of course he his.
Is he transcendend like a Hakeem? In my opinion no and it shouldn‘t be a discussion before he at least equals Hakeem in merit.

Does Morey consider moving Harden (the second best player in franchise history right now, who could become the best)
??? Harden as of right now is not even top 5 all time in his position. You could make an arguement for Hakeem to be Top3 all time center. Plus 2 chips.

They should‘ve just quit while they were ahead.
In 1991.

Vince Carter, who is a literal Greybeard now, wants to come back next season.
I never really dug him much in his prime, but am 1 million billion percent behind him continuing his career now.
Because as long as Vince is ballin we still young and it‘s going to be 2000 forever.
Dude will manage to play against somebody who was not even born yet when he won the dunk contest

Literally ruining the game. All he does is travel and shoot free throws
Holy shit. I‘m Team Greek Freak for MVP, but stuff like this not getting called just leaves me speechless.

Blacklist has been officially been picked up for its 7th season
It is unclear if the 7th season will be its last or not as James Spader's deal is up at the end of said 7th season.
Still plenty of time though...
Storywise it jumped the shark a looong time ago and only remains watchable due to Spader.

By whom? She's anti-trans and a domestic abuser.
If you think trans-people are anywhere near the social acceptance of e.g. gay people, to the point were Ronda's statements could possibly hurt her mainstream appeal, you're living in a twitter bubble.
Same goes for a MMA woman roughing up her equally trained husband. Double standard, no one cares.

Passing GOAT on the all-time scoring list while his team is losing a must-win is Bron in a nutshell.

What's the matter with Lebron? Is he really hurt or trying to avoid the blame for Laker suckiness?
-
Ratings are down because TV is dead to one of the main demographics.
A boom akin to the Monday Night Wars/Attitude era will never happen again, because there is no more mainstream.
Same with all other media.
There will be no millenial equivalent to the collective memories of us 60s/70s/80s kids, everything is to fragmented now.

Here I was thinking "damn, Shamrock looks old".
Then I realized 97 was 21 years ago and now I feel old...

Wait, did you read all the shit Clayne Crawford was doing on that show? Blaming Damon Wayans of all people for his firing seems misguided.
I did read it and it's all a whole lot of he said/she said but Wayans just rubs me the wrong way, add to that the info from RIPPA's post and I tend to side with Crawford.

Something I missed (and maybe it was discussed last month when it came out) but Daman Wayans announced he was leaving Lethal Weapon TV show at the end of the season.
Apparently FOX agreed to change his shooting schedule and better support his diet (since he cited his diabetes as one of the reasons for leaving) and now he might stick around for Season 4
Good riddance. Should have just canceled it. Wonder who Wayans has intel on, since he already got Clayne Crawford ousted, who was carrying the whole show.

They don't want to make a Vader being a badass movie because he's the villain. And his story has been told, literally from beginning to end.
Except for that part where he goes from whiny crybaby being cut to pieces by Obi-Wan and "NOOOOOO" to baddest MoFo in the Galaxy.
The Prequels showed us none of the mythical Anakin/Vader from ANH. Clone Wars and Rebels did this, in part. But still, they're cartoons, not full blown movies.
That scene from Rogue One extended to feature length is what ROTS should have been. Billions of dollars.

God, She-Ra looks awful.
Why exactly does every remake, wait, why does everything these days have to be tongue-in-cheek?

How the hell is Limp Bizkit headlining ANYTHING in 2018?
The nostalgia train has reached the 90s, that's how.
Nostalgia is a strange thing. While I don't care about Limp Bizkit, and not to compare the two on artistic merits either, but as a 90s kid I still don't get paying 4 figures for the fckng mumified Stones in 2018...
Or bald, trailer-trash Shawn Michaels still coming out to sexy boy for that matter.

There is a reason George Lucas did not make a Star Wars movie every year.
Yeah. Because he is an artist and had a vision for his creation.
He may not be a very capable artist. Or director.
You may not care for the prequels.
But the man had an idea, a vision he wanted to get out there and be told in movie form.
I applaud him for that.

Judgement Day is a work of art.
Perfect from beginning to end.
Intelligent.
So 90s yet so timeless.
Peak Arnold. Peak Cameron.
They should've just stopped while they were ahead.

I really love the whole narrative LeBron is spinning in LA. Sort of the anti-Durant.
