Bamas out here rage quitting in casual (non-ranked) matches.

Probably because Kerr and the refs knew/assumed he was just flopping around since literally everyone who falls to the ground in the NBA usually does that.

Kerr could have called a timeout after the clippers missed their shot and he didn't.

He is not the only one who does that **** though, everyone in the NBA acts like they are dying when they go to the ground. And then they can NEVER EVER get up on their own. They will sit there on their back until teammates come to lift them up. I can't stand that ****.

Based on the blurred out photos of fivehead in the video, I'm going to have to strongly disagree.

They tried that one where Tyrese flew a car into outer space bruh.

Or perhaps I was being facetious...

There is a little mixture coming down of rain and small flakes of snow but nothing is sticking. The kids still have a 2 hour delay though. Moco is so soft about that ****.

So uh ... maybe thread title needs updating? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10109103-virginia-senator-says-bill-to-relocate-wizards-capitals-with-new-arena-is-off

Norman Powell took an elbow to the face and it must have opened a huge gash. There is a lot of blood in this video so if that bothers you, don't watch it.

You MFers benching over 300 with ease ... that is strong AF lol. If I lift with my brother again before I lose too much strength, I may try 295 or 300 to see if I can get it once. The thing that surprised me the other day when I did 275lbs with no spot was how light it felt when I lifted it off the rack, and then how easy the first one felt. And yeah I use all the lifting "tools" now to protect myself. I have wrist wraps I use all the time. I also use straps for gripping heavier stuff. i have knee wraps I use when squatting only. And then the past couple months I stared using elbow sleeves too which have helped tendonitis. Oh yeah and I use a belt too when doing heavy weight stuff where I want to protect my lower back.

I don't really have a target weight I was trying to get to as far as gaining weight. I generally fluctuate between 195-210 for the past decade, depending if I am trying to lean or bulk, but I've had chronic shoulder issues that have been better the past like 1/2 hear and that has allowed me to put more weight up. Typically I'd start leaning up when I reaggrivated it and I couldn't lift heavy. But now that I can lift heavy, it's so fun and feels so good to see these tiny gains each week. I really want to try and get 100lb dumbells up for shoulder presses though. Just once or twice. I don't even think I could get them up to my shoulders though from my knees currently. i tried 95 for the first time last week and got it up myself and then 3 reps myself, and help on the 4th. I had tried 275lb on the bench with a spot before and got it 3x with a spot on the last, but this past week I tried it with no spot and got 2 easily which felt awesome. And then right after that I hit up incline barbell and can rep out 225 on there which feels great too. My squats are up to 375 4x which is the most I've ever done. When I was yonger 365 was the most I could do. So all of this strength feels fantastic while working out. But now I definitely am the least lean I've been in a while, which I'm fine with as I said I was bulking, but I'm ready to try and lean up a bit now. I wanna get to like 205 or so and see how I look at that point. Right now is the first time in like a decade or more where I don't really see any abs in my belly and I can tell my belly is bigger than it used to be. I've even had to move my belt notch over 2 slots if I wanna be comfortable. This past week I've been eating pretty clean, and on weekends I usually eat a bit worse, but I'm going to try and watch it a bit this weekend. I weigh myself once a week, Monday mornings before I brush my teeth, so that is how I tell if I lost or gained weight the past week. If I didn't lose any weight, I'll change something. If I lost like a pound or so, then I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Once I add in LISS 2-3 times a week, that will help a bit too. I'm going to do it tomorrow for like 20 minutes to start.

At 42 I am nearly as strong and as big as I was at my biggest when I was like late 20's. I'm actually taking Celltech right now which is a creatine blend. My bench isn't quite as high as it was back then, very close but not quite there, however my shoulders are stronger than they were back then. My legs are a little bit strong now as well, and I'd say my back is too. Triceps and biceps are about the same. I'm at 217 right now and have started eating cleaner as of this week and will start doing a bit of LISS to try and lean up a bit. I am hoping to not lose too much strength that a bit of strength loss always comes with weight loss for me.

Haha I thought maybe they were too, but it made zero sense because it was after he did something stupid lol. It wasn't like how they yelled COOOOOOOOOLEY every time he had a big play. I could definitely tell it was boos on TV.

I was watching some of the game last night and definitely noticed that the home town crowd was booing Poole.

Well, something is definitely going on. Note it is called "Microsoft Game Pass" there...

Actually Xbox has not always done that. It's new this gen. Xbox 360 did not play Xbox games. Xbox One did not play 360 games at launch either, and they had to work on each game individually to get them to work on the One. It was a long drawn out process and I wouldn't be surprised if not every game ended up making the cut. The only "real" backwards compatible one is the latest one.

The games you bought will always work on the console you bought them for. My SNES games still work on my SNES. The games you purchased digitally will always work on the Xbox you purchased them on. You shouldn't have any expectation that the games you bought today will work on the next gen console. However you may not be able to download them again in the future if you delete them. That has already happened for games on older consoles. That is also why I always buy physical if it's an option.

Microsoft is ALREADY in this space of streaming games with the Xcloud, or whatever they have renamed it too, which looks like Xbox Cloud Gaming (beta). It's in beta now and I could see it improving a bit in the 5 or so years left of this gen, unless it goes longer. I am also with you in that if streaming games became mainstream then I'd be out on that platform. I am already super sensitive to input lag and playing all my games with some sort of latency, even for single player games, just would be unacceptable to me personally. But they are clearly going that direction based on their Xbox cloud gaming platform. They have just clearly been going this direction of "games as a service" for a while now and I believe that the Xbox Cloud Gaming thing is their end goal for the TV gaming at home. I believe they will still have gamepass and Xbox platform that will run on PC even once they are out of the console hardware space.

The size of the game has nothing to do with how streaming works. It's just streaming video. The game is running on other hardware far away. I agree we're not ready for it and I won't ever be ready for it personally because there is inherently going to be latency due to physics. Again, I'm not talking about killing the Xbox brand. I said I think they will be out of the console business after the series X/S. They will still have the Xbox platform, it will just be on other devices IMO. This is all just speculation of course I don't know anything, but Microsoft has been trending this way for a while now, and talks of them leaving the console hardware industry. I believe within 10 years Xbox will be strictly software, aside from light weight thin clients that can use their platform. Of the bolded, what journalist has said that? If you are referring to me, I would have told you I believe this like a year+ ago. This new news isn't the reason I believe that. However it just makes me believe it more that if it's true then they are going the software route. They also bought out all of these huge software companies the past couple of years.

I never said kill the current Xbox console. I said I don't think there will be one after the current series versions. We're like 2-3 years into the current gen and they last like 7-8 years. 4-5 more years is a long time. I think their end goal is to basically sell a controller or thin client that plugs into your TV or connects to your phone/tablet and lets you stream games, via a service like xcloud or gamepass. And now the word is MS is considering bring Gears of War to PS.

Microsoft is still losing money on console sales. They are planning on killing off physical media for Xbox this year. It's clear as day they are trying to go gamepass and/or a streaming service only. I kind of don't think they CARE if the Xbox console is going to die of. I think it's their long term plan. I don't think they plan on making another console after the current Series ones. It's basically just an underpowered PC at this point with every game being on PC as well.

Damn we bout to see Halo on PS5 soon lol.

Curry with a 60 berder and an L... OL.

Yeah I really don't understand the uproar over this. They can miss 20% of the season and still be eligible. Anything more and they can't. 20% is a large amount of leeway IMO. Barkley said he thinks it should have bee 70 games not 65 games. It sucks that players like Embiid keep getting hurt but I mean there isn't much they can do about it.
