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 now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
