Random Thoughts XVI

Anyone else in here needed some sleeping pills last night after watching that intense season finale of The Walking Dead?

It's all Maggie's fault. Hope they killed of Glenn.

It has to be one of the 4 that was captured beforehand. I guessed Glenn too. They just better stay away from Michonne and Darryl

Bernie Sanders invited to speak at the Vatican about how to create a moral economy. Thats crazy.

Has any American politician ever given a speech at the Vatican?

Anyone getting a Tesla Model 3? I was thinking about it but the model S looks so fly

[ReturnofMVP3]

I liked this page called Dwyane Wade for MVP on Facebook back in 08, it was a pretty good page back in the day but they recently sold it to some idiots. Now all I ever see is posts about Ray Allen possibly being resigned and how it's so great lol.

It's a very interesting car. If you haven't pre ordered one yet though, you probably won't be getting one for a few years.

It's the future.

Yes I still haven't, I'm thinking I'll just save up and get the S in 2018. I should be working full time by then

I love the model S but 100k vs 35k is a big difference. Either way, it looks like End of 2017 they will be delivering the high end orders so most people won't get theirs well into 2018 according to my estimations. I believe I am going to throw my $1k to get my name on that list. You can always withdraw it at any time.

Do it!

That's solid that you put your name down! I am pretty sure only the more tricked out models cost 100k+. I think around 75K is starting (still a lot I admit). I've also seen some used 2013 Model S for < 50K. That being said I probably wouldn't buy a used Tesla because of battery concerns.

Ugh, no thanks. I'll stick to combustion engines.

After being pure garbage for the first half of the season, São Paulo managed to get into a position where they can redeem themselves. They needed a win tonight against our rival, River Plate (Argentina), and a win in our next match against The Strongest of La Paz.

First part (a must win) accomplished. We still need to get the other win to go forward, but it's better than it could be.

Nice win by São Paulo , bad loss by Barcelona

[HIF]

Can I just say that 73 wins doesn't make you the "best ever" team. It makes you the team with the "best ever" record.

[Noodle Arm]

So those State Farm "The Hoopers" commercials are implying Chris Paul had sex with Deandre Jordan and Kevin Love/Damian Lillard are the results of that?

[KingDavid]

Can I just say that 73 wins doesn't make you the "best ever" team. It makes you the team with the "best ever" record.

Assuming they win it all, I think they're the best team since the '96 bulls, well, maybe. 320lbs of prime Shaq is a horrifying thing to face. I digress. Two different eras. That Bulls team in this era would be completely unfair. The greatest player to every touch a basketball in an era where you can't be touched? Yikes.

GSW is a BIG TIME chucking team. And they do it at a fantastic, successful rate. That hand checking era was nothing to scoff at. It's why big men were a premium back then. You can't chuck if you're hand-checked dozens of feet from the basket though. That's not a slight on gsw, it's just the era they're in now.

Nice win by São Paulo , bad loss by Barcelona

São Paulo is a very bad team now. We have to rely on our determination to win, because there isn't a huge amount of talent on the team. The best teams we've had were a happy mixture of both. Honestly, I was shocked we beat River Plate, but having 75000 screaming fans at home makes a difference. We play The Strongest away (in Bolivia on top of the world) on 4/21. Before that we have a game on 4/17 that will determine whether we progress in the less important state championship. It is against a crappy team from the interior, but it will be a challenge and I wonder whether we should even play our best players with potential for injury etc before such an important game vs The Strongest. We won't win the state championship. We haven't beaten a single one of our rivals Corinthians, Palmeiras, Santos... Not even Portuguesa or Ponte Preta. We are garbage this year.

Everything changes if we beat The Strongest though. If that happens we'll be together with 16 teams in the 2nd round of the Libertadores, 8 games away from being heroes. Libertadores is the South American version of the Champions League. The best teams of all the nations play amongst themselves and the toughest gets through. It really makes for some ugly games because Europeans are not half as violent as South American players. You can see from the video I posted how no one shies from getting a red card. Actually there are players on the team for that specific purpose, sort of like Haslem, but a lot nastier.

Barcelona is incredibly talented. Neymar, Messi, Suarez, Mascherano, Busquets... A brilliant team, but they played poor defense. The first goal nobody marked Griezmann. He was standing wide open between 2 Barcelona defenders in the 6 yard box. In the play of the penalty, it was another defensive breakdown, a 3 on 2. Absolute desperation.

If you compare the play to last month's game against Arsenal (with Neymar, Suarez, and Messi all scoring), you can see what happened. Playing a tough schedule of Champion's League and the Spanish BBVA, Copa del Rey, et cetera, Barcelona just looked completely exhausted. I think Atletico deserved the win though. Griezmann is very good, Koke is a smooth orchestrator of the midfield who passes the ball wherever he wants... Barcelona is going to need to get better. They cannot improve their attack, but I'd expect to see some reinforcement in the defense. Mascherano, especially, is past his prime.

[Dr_Heat]

Yes Griezmann is a beast , no wonder Real Madrud and the big money clubs want that kid . Your right about defense needs to be addressed by Barcelona , especially as you said Mascherano , who's struggling in his club and international level.
