    I’m surprised all of them haven’t tested positive for Corona

    guess I should look closer at images I post lol

    btw, I've been introducing myself as "Corona" but nobody seems to be getting the joke.

    :Noddingyes: My sense of humor isn't for everyone

    I had a dream that the 20/21 season started. The Clippers added another star player (I don't remember who) and we did nothing. Bron sprained his ankle in training camp and the Clips started 7-1 while we were 3-6.

    Then I woke up.

    Optimism! :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    We have a really good team, this was one of my favorite possessions of the year, on defense

    Thanks for sharing @Weezy. As much as this season was enjoyable overall, the D was BY FAR my favorite part of it. AD is an artist on that end and we have a couple other good defenders as well. Did I mention I'm happy we ended up with the contingency plan in Vogel?

    WOOT WOOT WOOT !!!

    2010 Game 7 vs C Bags on ABC right now. I found it mid 2nd quarter but close to end of 2nd now.

    But I immediately hit record on my DirecTV remote and Boom the whole 3hr telecast is there now and being recorded. I selected it in my list and hit play and it started at the beginning.


    EDIT:

    HOLY CRAP BATMAN !!

    2012 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME KENTUCKY vs KANSAS with AD playing is on CBS as well right now ..... 1st Quarter.

    I can't put youtube on my DTV hard drive and have missed Game 7 when it's been shown since I switched from Charter which I had when it happened. But good to know :p as I get a great youtube signal on my streaming. 4K and 8K down converts look amazing.

    Have told this story before about Game 7 2010 finals .... but in case anyone missed ... or really gives a f*** .... ;) :rofl:

    Sheer coincidence but of course it was in the evening and scheduled already if the series went 7. The whole family was caught up in the season. Then the mom of one of my close friends passed away and her memorial service was scheduled at a church in LaCanada at 6PM with a celebration of life to follow at this friend's favorite Mexican restaurant close by. So the family plan was made we'd have to skip the 2nd event and we'd all meet at one son's house he was renting in Altadena with his fiancee and she would have the game on record so we all could watch from the start, including my wife and other son and his fiancee. It was past 7PM when we apologized profusely for having to do this huge family event and left the church following the service and were behind like a quarter with no listening to radio on the way over .... when we all started watching. Brutal gut wrenching game with us struggling and behind all damn game until we started catching up toward the very end of the 4th quarter.

    I think we were still down a few points when it happened with like 2 minutes left (?). The recording ****ing ran out. NOOOOOO!!!!! My DIL said she had added an extra 30 minutes but in hindsight of course it should have been an hour. We sat there stunned and finally all collectively held our breaths and made the decision to go to real time as we had caught up to that point where it stopped by skipping commercials. We knew the first images would tell us who won. Would it be another "Anything is possiblllleeee" moment or ..... the Lakers had Won. But we held off like over a minute before doing it. Very first thing we saw was the confetti raining from the top of Staples and the celebration was on!! A tremendous memory. My friend's mom was a good lady and mom to everyone and I'm sure she would have approved.

    Love that story @LTLakerFan. Hard to imagine anything ever topping that Game 7 for me as a Laker fan, since I was juuust too young to watch the Finals in '85. I even purchased the whole game on iTunes a few years ago, and STILL ended up recording the broadcast yesterday. I could watch it every day and never tire of it.

    he drew that in college, not 5th grade

    :Laugh:



    Leonard’s attorney Peter Ginsberg said that his team was looking into other options after Mosman ruled in Nike’s favor.



    “Kawhi put his heart and soul into that design, so we are obviously disappointed the judge ruled the logo belongs to Nike and not Kawhi,” Ginsberg said, per The Oregonian. “We’re considering our options to protect Kawhi’s interests.”



    Unless Leonard’s attorneys figure out a creative end-around, his New Balance sneakers will remain Klaw-less.

    I thought it was Uncle Dennis' job to protect Leonard's interests?

    Yeah where the hell’s Lee Jenkins Ballmer? What did those big bucks buy you? Maybe inside the organization this eventuality could have better been prepared for with his lawyer’s public response? Love to mock them!
