Neowin's Official NBA 2004 Playoffs Thread


Recommended Posts

Even though Philadelphia fans hate Larry Brown with a passion there are certain levels of hate. The hate for all the L.A. Lakers stand for, especially the cockyness Kobe Bryant and Shaq's gay camping under the net style of play, takes precidence over the Larry Brown hate. Thefore I am rooting for the Pistons beyond belief to beat LA, because I cannot stand to see the Lakers win it again. After the finals are over the hating of Larry Brown can commence once again, but for these seven games I am standing behind the Pistons. Best sign I saw in the crowd tonight after the Lakers got served: "There is not going to be a happy Hollywood ending this time." :D

LOL i love the creativity of Piston fans and thier posters (Y)

There was another one I noticed. It said "Our full house beats your two of a kind." It had pictures on cards and the front five of the Pistons were one hand, being the full house, and then it had Shaq and Kobe's picture as the other hand, them being the two of a kind. Detroit seriously had an awesome basketball crowd, something you did not see in the first two games at LA because only stars who claim to be life long Laker fans with their newly purchased Laker hats with the price tags still attached and uncreased brims are the only ones who show up to the Laker games.

but no team has ever won 3 in a row at home in the finals yet. I think the laker will at least get one game from their road trip.

i think detroit is going to take the remaining 3 games, i saw yesterday that teams who have had a 1 - 1 tie, the winner of game 3 wins the championship, statistics showed that 27 out of 31 (or 33) the number of times the winner of game 3 went on to win the championship

It's not that the Lakers were bad, it's just that the Pistons were very good. ;)

The Lakers officially got their asses handed to them.

nah, you dont even know. the lakers had a 36% field goal percentage, they were horrible. i think we're also not giving credit to how hard the wallace guys were locking shaq up, allowing him to only shoot 14 field goals. amazing defense... detroit what

Well, they didn't even get to shoot much what with Detroit's defense and constant steals. Kobe didn't seem to be doing any worse then normal.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • 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.
