    to a few who don't recognize their part in things. All good. just keep having fun. It'll simmer down soon. Everything has its waves ya know? Some people get used to things being a certain way and when that comfort zone is disrupted, feathers fly.

    Main difference berween this year and last year is the backuü unit is a lot more valuable. Zack is coming into his own defensively, Sauce Castillo and Curry can both score, even Layman seems to be playing with more confidence. I swear, Turner is playing like he used to in Boston. But we will only know how good these guys are till everyhing hits the fan or someone gets hurt.

    Until then, I am pleasantly surprised.

    I agree about Zach and ET. Their play have been the two most positive developments. If Zach keeps playing like this he’s going to play himself into the starting lineup. I LOVE the idea of this

    Dame
    CJ
    Harkless
    Collins
    Nurkic

    Curry
    Stauskas
    Turner
    Aminu

    Leonard or Layman fill the final spot on the second unit, depending on the matchup. Aminu can play center against a lot of second units.

    I appreciate what Aminu has brought to the team, but theoretically speaking, Collins brings so much more to the table, on both ends. His development is way more important to the team. If Stotts insists on not moving Aminu back to SF, then he can come off the bench. His minutes wouldn’t change too much. He can play with the starters when Nurkic gets taken out against small ball sides.

    Ah man, that show was fantastic. Some didn’t like the ending, but I was cool with it.

    Think I stopped right when it was gonna get good. Probably had a run of good movies that kept us from continuing. Same thing happened with The Wire but we started that again and loved it

    The Wire....one of the best ever.
    Impossible for me to rank my favorites, but these are a few of my top picks......
    -The Sopranos
    -The Wire
    -Breaking Bad
    -LOST
    -Mad Men
    My wildcard pick is The Shield on FX......that show was amazing, not many watched it though.

    The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix has easily joined my list of favorites all time. I'm not even a fan of horror shows/movies and I could not stop watching.

    Speaking of NetFlix, sounds like they just released the 2nd season of Making A Murderer. Been waiting for two years for that.

    My thing is, about three years ago, I started watching new tv shows as they came out. People would always say, “You gotta watch this and that!” So I did. Next thing you know I’m watching 10 different shows. Then some get canceled. I’m like, what a waste of time. So my new thing is, is to wait til they are done or close, and then marathon ‘em. Just did that with Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire. So I’m busy always trying not to walk in on a conversation when peeps are talking details about shows I want to see. It’s killing me though. Like the show, Ozarks......I want to see it so bad!

    The Haunting of Hill House is based on the book and so far looks like only a miniseries. It's a GREAT show to watch during the month of October and it was released October 12, 2018.

    All ten episodes are directed by Mike Flanagan (a really good up and coming horror director) so you get a really consistent feeling from each episode to the next.

    Just watch Ozark... you'll be hooked. GREAT GREAT GREAT supporting cast. They outshine the main leads, IMO.

    Damnit.....what if they cancel it. Like Deadwood on HBO. I loved that show. I have had at least 10 friends of mine to watch Ozark and Billions! Too many shows.
