I just looked at the Pistons salary situation. jeeze.

you're paying Josh Smith until 2020?
---

xyzzy

I want to see you workshop that trade just because I want to see what Detroit has that someone would want
---

xyzzy

that's because you're into e1-5 end

how's alba lookin'
---

xyzzy

the lack of responses here is purely due to E1-5
---

xyzzy

holy turnovers
---

xyzzy

Hinkie has a great trading record. he did great for that team and we're seeing it now
---

xyzzy

the biggest problem I see with Toronto is that they're not defending like they were. they kinda turned into the Cavs the last third of the season + playoffs.
---

xyzzy

tonight kinda proves that there are only two real contenders for the title and they're both out west

not that anyone really doubted that
---

xyzzy

not sure I've ever seen a team shooting 10% before
---

xyzzy

oh man I turned it off with 53 seconds to go what happened
---

xyzzy

he murdered them. Cleveland's offense is a mess when Lebron's not playing out of his mind
---

xyzzy

a new phone means a great time to start anew
---

xyzzy

that felt like a Kobe game more than a Lebron game - he was just so dominant that it kinda took them out of their offense.
---

xyzzy

this cavs game is so confusing
---

xyzzy

hooooly lebron
---

xyzzy

he probably gets to about 500. i know it's not true but it feels like he has 10 testimonies.
---

xyzzy

yeah I didn't include powers, penny, blaise or roland

guessing that top 5 goes Edgeworth > Kay > ....

anyone want to take a shot? Simon might be 3 but he's MIA for most of the big stuff (though does show up over the phone). Courtney has some goods. DeBeste has the longest logic chess section in the game by far. Gumshoe is omnipresent but never very wordy. Lang probably has a sneaky big amount of lines due to testimonies and SS-5 reveals.
---

xyzzy

cavs in 5
---

xyzzy

e2-5's gonna be the killer at the end section

edgeworth, kay, franziska, regina, simon, lotta, swift, de killer, dogen, ray, courtney, john, gumshoe, ema, lang, maybe debeste
---

xyzzy

sweet. best of luck!
---

xyzzy

what's the job?
---

xyzzy

I love your perspective by the way. this is crazy for the west coast.. and totally normal everywhere else.
---

xyzzy

derozan has really reverted back in 2016-17 status. his 3 point shooting feels like a mirage.

I bet the chalk is Cleveland > Toronto and Philly > Boston, though I wouldn't count Boston out with how gutty they can be

in the west, I think NO loses easy, but the 3/6 matchup could be interesting. I think I'd pick against the Thunder but you never know what team is going to show up. if Utah is the 3, I might take them over GS if Curry isn't back or 100%. Golden State has been really terrible lately.
---

xyzzy

east is set

1 - Toronto
8 - Washington

4 - Cleveland
5 - Indiana

3 - Philadelphia
6 - Miami

2 - Boston
7 - Milwaukee

west is almost set. winner of Utah/Portland gets the 3.

1 - Houston
8 - Minnesota

4 - Utah/Portland
5 - New Orleans

3 - Utah/Portland
6 - Oklahoma City

2 - Golden State
7 - San Antonio

anyone taking the injury upsets? I wouldn't bet against Philly with anyone other than Houston right now, but Golden State without Curry could be a potential target with how awful GS has been playing.

xyzzy

sweet, rockets playing a tank lineup themselves tonight. starting 5 of black/tucker/johnson/green/hunter..?

most generic name team ever
---

xyzzy

I watched a foot of snow melt in 70 degree weather this winter

that was weird
---

xyzzy

the Cavs had a hell of a tank tonight. I think they saw the sixers score after the first quarter and just pulled everyone.

and the knicks hilariously drop a spot
---

xyzzy

hahahaha minnesota celebrating like they won the nba championship

as a kings fan i totally get it
---

xyzzy

kings are gonna do that vs the rockets tonight too

this nuggets/wolves game is nutty. game 7 goes to game 8

ahhhhhhhhhhh

also sixers with 46 in the first quarter jeeze
---

xyzzy

I think 6-3 might be better at that with the guilty verdict. you get to the bottom of it within the context of the case as opposed to a wide detour with the kidnapping/UR-1.
---

xyzzy

it's a good moment, no doubt. but it's good in the way that, say, Lamiroir's 4-3 day 1 fingering of Daryan is. (that's a bad example since 4-3 is a bad case, but I think you know what I mean,)
---

xyzzy

well, by which I mean that it can't totally stand on its own merits. it relies on 5-5.
---

xyzzy

5-4 feels compromised by its unresolved ending -- though if I had to pick out a flaw, it's the overly complicated 'how did this happen?' with the space station switch. I think the cross examination with Yuri is probably the best in the series but I can't say any of the actual 'how did this happen?' details are satisfying.
---

xyzzy

anyway, this is incredible

I was on team Harden last year but Westbrook had numbers that even Harden couldn't approach. heck, he singlehandedly broke some statistics thanks to his usage to the point that their creator said they must not be reliable.

xyzzy

I think the angle that Westbrook won because of triple doubles is a false narrative. yeah he got triple doubles but he was also really good and had multiple game winners and everything. it's not just because he hit 10/10/10.
---

xyzzy

E2-4 is helped by that relative brevity. it might be the last case that wasn't overlong? like, even 6-4 is a bit of a tragedy lengthwise. that case feels like it should be maybe 90 minutes but ends up being closer to 3 hours.
---

xyzzy

nope

xyzzy

xyzzy

kings with their ninth last second win this year

we're even bad at tanking
---

xyzzy

oh man that ending was great

get these guys in a playoff series together
---

xyzzy

that super metroid/majora match was pretty good
---

xyzzy

I've been watching minit for a while now. maybe after celeste stops destroying my soul.
---

xyzzy

philly is legit

and it isn't just embiid. even fultz is legit
---

xyzzy

xyzzy
