Recommended Posts

as of 4/17

East

Nets lead 1 - 0 (Knicks)

Pacers lead 1 - 0 (Celtics)*

West

Spurs lead 1 - 0 (grizzlies)

Lakers lead 1 - 0 (rockets)**

*- that was surprising, 16 point difference, i think pacers will sweep.

** this was very sad. so close.

i also watched the spurs game, wow that was a great game!! and have you guys noticed that Robert Horry, he has this look on his face, kinda like an inecent look. i've always wondered about him, and my gf told today that 3 of his children are mentally retarted. poor guy.

OMFG is anyone watching the Pistons game?

As Chick Hearn would say

This game's in the Refrigerator, the door's closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the jello's jiggling!

i was thinking.. if there is a possible way that we can bet on the playoffs.

so i was thinking what if we can bet our post counts! i know there more people that care about their post counts.. but this would require an admin to adjust our post counts.

i doubt it'll happen but i'm just trying to kill time between class :sleepy:

He stepped on the court during a scuffle when he was supposed to be on the bench. Automatic 1 game suspension by the league.

damn i was hoping he would be suspended the entire round.. he poses a threat to the pistons. i'd rather have the pistons play celtics than the pacers.

@ jorgeivan2k3 there are a few us, at least the ones that posted. i hate them to. funny thing is i'm one of the few pistons fan all the way from California and my family and friends are die hard laker fans.

sometimes when the lakers are loosing and i cheer my aunt gets mad and i'm not allowed to watch the game anymore :rofl: gotta have the spirit baby!!

He stepped on the court during a scuffle when he was supposed to be on the bench. Automatic 1 game suspension by the league.

any word on Richard Jefferson of the Nets? He definitely did the same thing during game 01 vs the Knicks, and since I am a Knicks fan I'll take anything I can get to help us get a W...

btw, If my memory servers me correct I am pretty sure that rule REALLY started getting enforced thanks to PJ Brown of the Heat flipping over Charlie Ward of the Knicks which led to a huge bench clearing, which led to the all time classic image of Van Gundy clinging to Alonzo Mourning's leg... ahh when the Knicks where the Knicks...

also after watching the first round of games I have changed my mind on somethings... not really who is going to win, but I do think some teams already might have the potential to sweep, mainly the Pacers & Pistons...

and much to my surprise Miami one, I really give Stan Van Gundy and the entire team ALOT of credit.

And the Rocket's were OH SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!

First of all The lakers have Kobe (who basically is a bunch of jordan 's career moves mixed with youth) and the same calls jordan used to get at the end of big games.Now the rest of the FAKERS are trash.....look All the laker haters have to understand that as long as Phil Jackson,Kobe (NBA Commisioner's new Jordan) & Shaq are Hollywood Celebrity's favorite players,they have to win......there is too much MONEY involved that's y they are going to at least make a run for the playoffs this season......it's all designed.If you are a fan of any other team u should just watch the games watch the offensive fouls shaq and the fakers dish out and see what i mean....but try your best to watch it unbiased (i have a hard time).And see the biggest conspiracy in sports history.It goes deeper like why the NBA is allowing the votes to go for YAO instead of SHAQ so the "TRIANGLE" Conspiracy goes off without a problem.THE LAKERS WILL 6 PEAT IF THE NBA wants them to.PURE AND REAL.

P.S. **** THE LAKERS AND THEIR FANS AND HOLLA AT YA BOY IN 2005 when SHAQ retires leaving KOBE 's bitchass for the new breed of badboy players in the league to destroy.....Haha laker fans enjoy your run while it lasts....BITCHES!!!

lol.. take it easy man. they have an all-star team and they're loosing!! and they have a really hard time playing the rockets.

to me that's just sad.. don't worry, they wont' make it past the 2nd round. :)

I hope that man :)

going back to class now.. and wait for tomorrow's pistons game.. nothing would make me happier to watch the the pistons kill the bucks with my gf sitting next to me and wearing her tight shirt that reads "pistons" (going to buy her the shirt today) :happy:

I bet the Lakers sweep... Along with 'sota and the Pacers.

I'm not a Lakers fan, before you all bitch me :p I'm a poor, tired Sonics fan! I'm also one of the original members of SFU! (Sonics Fans United) that arranged the plane over the Key on the last game of the season!

heh..

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
