What would you guys suggest on being the best time to buy Nets tickets? Would you suggest to buy them now, or wait till about middle of october? For November games I mean.

It's kinda hard to say, especially if you're not going to one of the marquee games.

The rule of thumb would suggest that the longer you wait, the less seats will be available and with fewer seats available the remaining ticket holders could justify raising the prices between now and gametime.

On the other hand (and I think this would apply to bottom dwelling teams), the longer you wait the more desperate sellers will become to get rid of their tickets and therefore lower their prices.

In short, if you're trying to sit in a specific section or spot in the arena, I'd lean towards getting them now. However, if you wanna risk getting seats when they're cheapest (and they're against bad teams), you can wait and just watch ths market.

Utah game is hardly a marquee game, but im looking for some good tickets for that game.
Any good place you would suggest on where to look for tickets? Stubhub is a no brainer. I also checked out Vivid seats, but it had unreal service fees added on checkout. Tickpick.com seemed like the best site considering service fees and all. Is it trustworthy?

I've used BigStub as well in the past and they're pretty solid. IIRC there are 10% off coupon codes you can find pretty easy with a google search as well. They have competitive prices but wind up having a few hidden fees that tack on around $10 per ticket though IIRC.

I've used scorebig.com once and it was a successful experience. It was for the first playoff game against the Bulls. The way the site works is kind of like Priceline but for sports tickets instead so a reminder is you don't know where your seat will be exactly they just tell you how much it would be.

The hospital scene in The Office episode "Company Picnic". Yeah, that's Sacred Heart.

I think it's an above average comedy with some good heartfelt episodes. Nothing like my friends hyped it up to be, but I was entertained. The fact that it has a little connection to Scrubs makes me happy.

I'm still curious as to how Modern Family won all those awards. I'm not sure if I should give it a shot since a lot of people think it's so overrated.

While saying the office blows is/was an overreaction, I still don't think it's great and wouldn't even have it in my top 20 sitcoms/comedies of all time which I will now list for no apparent reason.

In no order:

The Simpsons
Futurama
Family Guy (seasons 1-3)
American Dad
South Park (though I think it's terrible now)
Scrubs
Arrested Development
Community
30 Rock
Seinfeld
Frasier
Cheers
The Cosby Show
Parks and Rec
The Fresh Prince of Bel-air
HIMYM (yes, even now)
Friends (seasons 1-5.. the rest can go fornicate themselves)
Cougar Town
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Steve Harvey Show (Dead serious, love this show and it never gets the recognition it deserves)

It started out with a great premise and was actually enjoyable and the first season was pretty good. Then the second season started and you start to realize that the show has no intention of evolving or developing the characters. After a while they become incredibly one note and the show start getting irritating. I haven't seen an episode in two years, but apparently it's even worse now.

And don't get me started on the emmy's. I mean... JEFF DANIELS beat Bryan Cranston and Jon Hamm for his work on that POS show the Newsroom.

I agree with most of your shows. I've yet to start Community, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, and Curb though. I can't stand Seinfeld though. It seems like it's a show where you absolutely love it or hate it and I can't get into it. I liked Steve Harvey...I'm not sure if I would go as far as you and calling it a classic though. I liked Boy Meets World more. For me, Saved By The Bell as well. Terrible in terms of a critique standpoint, but everyone that grew up watching it still has a special connection to it.

Yeah, this is the type of reaction I get when the show wins an award.

Modern Family won best comedy for like the 3rd year in a row. It beat out 30 rock... one of the funniest shows ever who just had one of the best final seasons for any sitcom ever. The masterful Community has yet to be nominated BTW. Mad Men has yet to win an acting nomination. The Wire wasn't nominated at all for any season. Then you have Jim Parsons and Jon Cryer with emmy's but---- No. you know what... I'm not going down that rabbit hole. Just... just screw the emmys.
