re: ESPN Sources: Pelicans F Zion Williamson’s (left hamstring) is out for Friday’s Play-In
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 4/17/24 at 2:32 pm
[quote]You can't ever depend on him being able to go on a deep playoff run because the intensity he played with last night is how you have to play every game in the playoffs and he couldn't make it through one game.[/quote]

re: How many more playoffs does Zion need to miss before we figure it out?

Now confirmed Zion would miss the entire first round.
History has shown it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when he will have a season ending injury. It just so happened this year it was the last game of this season as opposed to earlier in the season....

5 year career.
Unavailable for playoffs due to injury 4 out of 5 seasons. Unavailable in general for roughly 40-50% of his career. Multiple different injuries.
Although more specifically, it's been a leg /foot injury every time. It's clearly a forever issue.
What other stats honestly eve...
How many more playoffs does Zion need to miss before we figure it out?
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 4/16/24 at 10:33 pm
His body simply isn't built to be a franchise / postseason player. Needs to be a # 3 or 4 player on a team that limits his minutes substantially. If he isn't willing to be that here, adios.
Unfortunately his trade value will be junk because most every other franchise figured this out about his ...

Attending Augusta Women's Championship
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 3/31/24 at 5:44 pm
Has anyone here attended the Augusta women's amateur championships? I've never been to Augusta and this seems like a much cheaper price point to at least walk the course and see some competitive golf. It looks like I can get tix for $500-$600 per ticket. Hotels are very reasonable right near the c...
re: Lot owner stunned to find $500K home accidentally built on her lot. Now she’s being sued
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 3/28/24 at 4:29 pm
She will have the option to just enjoy her lot, now with the house on it, without being disturbed. However, the builder will likely be allowed to file a mechanics lien onthe property for the cost of the house. So, if she ever went to sell the property, that lien would have to be satisfied / paid....
Would China allow TikTok to get shut down in the US as a social experiment?
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 3/14/24 at 9:55 am
I think ultimately China will allow bytedance to sell TikTok to an American owner, but I also know China loves conducting experiments overseas that could cause social unrest (ie Covid).
Do you think China would like to see TikTok temporarily shut down to see just how much unrest there would be am...

re: Florida Car Dealer demanding to handle out of state title / registration
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 2/8/24 at 1:41 pm
My biggest beef is that if I were registering the vehicle in Florida at time of purchase, they would charge the accurate registration pricing that all goes to the state of Florida and that's it.
They are essentially attempting to charge me $2K extra because it would be an out of state registratio...

Florida Car Dealer demanding to handle out of state title / registration
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 2/6/24 at 4:10 pm
Im currently corresponding with a car dealership in South Florida about a sale and I am a Louisiana resident. This dealership is demanding to handle the titling & registration of the vehicle in Louisiana at time of sale in Florida…and of course charge me huge fees to do so. However, I looked up an...
re: Blackberry trailer starring Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton

I couldn't help but feeling throughout the movie that the entire thing was Dennis Reynolds having a dream that he was playing this character??
I'm not sure where Glenn Howerton ends and Dennis Reynolds begins, but I think they are largely one in the same now....

What was truly mesmerizing and groundbreaking about the first Jurassic Park was the animatronics of the dinos. The audience can tell the difference between something that actually exists in real life and CGI. The further these new movies get from those animatronics, the worse they will be....

It has been documented that Carr's good stats have largely come from garbage time when the team is down 2+ scores. When the game is still close, he is just plain bad....

Yes. Competent NFL teams virtually never blow a 17+ point lead. So you can rationalize all ...
Anywhere to calculate Carr's stats that don't include garbage time?
Posted by Brightside Bengal on 12/22/23 at 2:47 pm
I am of the suspicion that the majority of Carr's positive statistical performance comes from times when the team is either up or down two scores in the second half (with the former being pretty rare). During the points in the games where it is still actually a competitive game, I would imagine his...
