NBA Basketball Thread


Recommended Posts

Not sure if there's an official one or not, but the NBA season started last night and it started well for me. The Bulls absolutely demolished the Heat by 42 after their ridiculously long ring ceremony. Man, I'd love to be the "Neuromuscular Therapist" for an NBA Championship team, work so little and get the same ring as the millionaires.

One interesting note from the game was on a play where Andres Nocioni drove the lane and was bumped by Antoine Walker on the shot, Noc thought he was fouled and on his was back down the court he began to protest, but then remembered the new rule and tried to take it back. It was too late and he was called for a Technical. The rule worked fine in that game, but I really, really, really, can't wait until the full season begins and we get LeBron, Wade, Duncan, etc. complaining. The calls they get only makes them feel they should get every call and the whining and acting when they don't is just annoying. If the league calls it consistently, even on the superstars, it'll be nice to see it for one, but for another it'll be interesting to see the on court (statistical) result of that. If they don't call in consistently, well then, I wonder who'll notice it first.

Warriors in the running for Iverson

Wednesday, Dec 13, 2006 3:17 pm EST

The Golden State Warriors have reportedly put together their offer for Allen Iverson, and it includes point guard Baron Davis and breakthrough center Andris Biedrins. A source close to one of the players went as far as calling the deal "done."

The Philadelphia 76ers would ship Iverson to the Warriors, possibly along with center Steven Hunter.

Edit: Biedrins did play, he just didn't start. So maybe that move wasn't as significant as I thought.

This was shot down quick by Chris Mullin Thursday. Here on the local radio sports talk they confirmed it.

I'd rather keep Baron and Andris. Andris is only 20, too young to just throw him out for Iverson.

Webber can't defend a broken fire hydrant at this point.

More interested in where Kidd ends up.

I was just wondering after reading your comment what you think about Webber now? i mean really didnt belive it my self but wow! is weber going crazy or what? He looks like he did in college (well maybe not college but you know what i mean!!)

Bulls have pretty much 0 chance of winning the title this year.

It will be either:

West:(West is taking the title this year, East can't contend.)

Phoenix Suns (Most likely)

Dallas Mavericks (Second most likely, can't handle Suns though)

San Antonio Spurs

East: (Has zero chance of winning against Western Conference this year.)

Detroit Pistons (Won't win over a Western Conference team though)

That's about it really.. you could toss in a couple other east teams like Wizards, maybe, but I dunno. The East just suck so bad this season.

I was surprised to see Dallas go so early.

it would be nice to see an 8 seed make it to the finals lol. more realistically though, i believe it will be the winner of the suns/spurs series that will move on to the finals to face the pistons. i'm rooting for the suns to win it all.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
