Well I've paid them money and apparently something is on it's way. I'll let you know.

Ha ha **** I did no research. Oh well I'm pretty sure I paid through PayPal so I can make them chase it up if I get screwed, which seems likely.

I always pay through paypal for this reason, and I've linked paypal to my credit card from a giant total A-hole bank, so I can make both paypal and the bank chase them if I'm screwed.

Have watched game 6 a heap and went back to game 3 (I'm a frontrunner) which was awesome, now going to catch game 4.

I used it. A month after buying it still hadn't shipped. Sent an email, got a response pretty quickly. Got them to cancel a couple of delayed items and the rest shipped 7 days ago but hasn't arrived yet.

Some sad reading there. I had to cancel two items to get my order to ship. I've just checked and I was refunded for both items. Worst case I'm out a bucks championship tshirt and cap for $110.

I have one item shipped (fanatics shirt) and apparently the other gets shipped Sept 1st as it was a pre order (parade shirt). We'll see.

Over 5 weeks for me now with no update to order status and no response to my attempts to contact. Much more pissed about the lack of response to my many congenial messages than about the time it's taking.

I'm saving all this. I have a 21 day quarantine when I head back to hk. I'm going to go thru the entire playoff run minus the really ugly games because my mental health will already be at risk stuck in a room for 21 days.

Im thinking if I should add any regular season games, and it's funny because I remember I enjoyed the previous two regular seasons so much more, and this past regular season was filled with anxiety and frustration and I didn't enjoy it as much, just because they lost a lot more, they didn't always look good even in Ws, and my expectations were so much higher.

You might remember I predicted that the regular season was going to suck last year because it was a time when only bad things could happen. I'm happy to inform you that this coming regular season will be a prolonged afterglow and as fun and carefree as the years where we were terrible, but with generally very good basketball. Also Giannis is going to win the scoring title on a 60 win team, so that will be entertaining.

I'm sure we will still find things to bitch and moan about :lol:

I'll respectfully disagree with the last point though, I reckon he'll spend too much time dancing around on the bench while Lillard takes 1000 shots per game in Portland.

Ok so I may have gotten really drunk watching game 4 but the good news is that I got even more drunk watching game 5 afterwards.

Biggest takeaway was that unlike the regular season the Giannis/Bobby lineups pretty much exclusively had Bobby at the 4 and I **** love it. Can have Portis at the 5 for the regular season taking the hits and switch it around for playoffs. Feels like every time we miss, one of the two gets the rebound.

Im also pessimistic on the scoring title as Giannis sits a bunch of 4th quarters, and has rest days, and will be more than happy to feed his friends. Sure he'll have days where he takes over..

Maybe he'll have a 60pt game against the 76ers or something but I think with minute restriction or loading or balancing or whatever he will have lots of cheerleading.

Someone else will be gunning on high volume. Dame is a solid guess.

Crazy that Khris didn't have a FT attempt in the Finals until this game.

I guessed Lillard as I think the Blazers will let him do whatever he wants in an attempt to keep him on the team, but a guy like Trae could go all-chuck.

Wow yeah thats bad. Everything (like 15 items) I ordered thru Fanatics and its here besides a pair of shorts.

Pretty sure shop.nba.com and Fanatics and FansEdge all work thru 1 warehouse. Maybe reach out to the other companies for help. Either way thats annoying.

Ordered a t-shirt couple days after game 6. Took around 3.5 weeks to arrive.
