It would've been even more fun. Oh, Pig is about man who goes all out to get revenge for the kidnapping of his beloved truffle pig. I know it sounds like I'm making these plots up, but I'm not.

Check out Leaving Las Vegas.

Yeah, I've seen it. Depressing, but a good movie.

Have you seen 'Snake Eyes' lately? I remember seeing it when it came out and thought it was good, but have no idea whether it still is, but I have an itch to find out. I do recall they cut out a big tidal wave sequence in the movie (that cost fortune), but kept the dialogue in referring to it so the scene near the end didn't really make sense. I now have no idea if it is a good or bad movie or if Nicolas Cage's performance is good or bad...

I haven't seen it in a while. I remember having the Nic Cage argument with my aunt and she convinced me to watch Moonstruck to get a better since of Cage's acting range. It was a nuanced performance. Then I rewathed "The Rock" and was like WTF?!? My feeling is he's acting equivalent of Jason "White Chocolate" Williams. The talent is there, but you need the right coach/ director to point him in the right direction.

I started playing pickup in the middle of the week with a group of 50-60 year old guys. They play zone. I haven't played zone since high school back in the late '70's. . A game to 7 can take an hour...

So one of the older guys drags his really poorly aging trophy wife to the court and has her sit there in a top that gives everyone full view to the fact that she could play soccer with her... oh wait, I'm going all TripleThreat now...

It was very depressing, but your right, it was a very good movie, still his best performance..

Check out "CLICK BAIT" on Netflix and "13 hours" on Prime

I completely ignore basketball during the offseason. Been catching up on Ray Donovan on Peacock (also got WWE stuff if you're into that too) and Netflix has some good documentaries - Son of Sam, Night Stalker, Social Dilemma, UFO Declassified - started watching the 9/11 doc last night.

Just watching that Untold: Malice in the Palace doc on Netflix - very good so far, but why does donny Walsh look younger now than he did when he was with us?

I feel enough time has passed to say this out loud, as much as I hate reggie Miller, I really liked that pacers team with Artest and Jermain O'neal and Stephen Jackson - it was one of my favorite non-Knick teams

A little something for the junkies. I guessed the wrong player for the Knicks… but they got it right.

It’s been 10 years since he had to deal with Dolan and Isiah trying to tell him how to do his job. That de-ages a person

We think of Walsh in the wheel chair. Likley it was an awful time for him. with Steroid treatment he might have been bloated. Now 80, perhaps healthy he looked svelt and with some make up looking dapper than he did with Isiah stabbing him in the back despite being in Exile.
Add to that many of you demonized him as the architect for the Amare/Melo era.

Might have to try and get a PS5.

I try and look on it as there only being a month until training camp. However, I got a PS5 a couple of months ago for times like these! Been catching up on ps4 games mainly, like Assassin's creed Origins (which I liked a lot, which surprised me as the only other Assassin's creed game I'd played was the third one, which I hated so much I never tried another one!)

you don't play 2k, mlb the show, madden?

You still doing advanced scouting via 2k?

Last week I waited on line at Best Buy. Got there at 6AM, walked away with an XBox Series X (ticket) ~7:30. So not the PS5 I was hunting for.

10 minutes ago I got a PS5 online at Best Buy. If anybody gets on ASAP you may have a chance.
