NFL Off-Season Thread 4 - The Bears Still Suck

Pacers are toast, they baaaarely scraped a win, at home, even though LBJ made literally 2 shots and was in foul trouble all night.

It's done

Yeah. If you can't beat the Heat at home when LBJ scores single digits, they should ban your team from the league.

And this OT has been pretty awesome.

I have ATH-M50s, but I have no problems with Beats. People take their headphones way too seriously.

Now, a person's choice of pizza topping is another story. Don't bring that pineapple shit near me!

What about in Calzone form?

It's an older PS3 game. It's hard to describe how it compares to FE, it's very unique for a SRPG in terms of gameplay. Your best bet is to look up a gameplay video or two. I think you'd enjoy it.

Valkyria Chronicles is one of my fav PS3 games. Sony should have turned that shit to their Fire Emblem (since SEGA isn't too big with the Shining games anymore lol).

I hope we get some kind of Fire Emblem announcement from E3. May VC rest in piece.
 
Is it on 3DS?

Worth playing if you are diehard FE fan?

I want Pacers to lose. Fuck this team...
It has the coolest goddamn battle system in the history of ever. As mentioned, PS3.

It's made by the Skies of Arcadia devs, who are now slaving in mobile game hell. May their glorious souls RIP in peace.
 
I don't mid Lebron passing the final shot to Bosh there. You trade a slightly contested layup to tie for a wide open three to end the series.

He'll get shit on for it because he's Lebron and we hold him to the standard of "Jordan or bust", but that's not a terrible play.


Pride of BK right there

Indy won game 5 to make it 3-2 and no one thinks the Heat are in trouble. Chicago won game 5 to make it 3-2 and everyone knows the Kings are in danger.

Looks like it was in Indiana with Lebron out for most of the game though with a 3 point win. Not exactly a momentum switch....

Hockey is better than all American sports except UFC and football... It is on par with football and UFC. All other are pansy, no contact sports like basketball and beseball.

Bosh and Allen are the two most clutch players on the Heat and I thought Bosh would make that shot because he has been super clutch the past 2 years.

But it was not a wide open 3. It was contested. He got a look at it but Lebron had a look at the basket in the paint too.

That said the refs fucked Lebron tonight. At least 2 of his fouls were borderline joke level. Not like he hasn't gotten away with 2 fouls a game for most of his career but that still doesn't make it right.

And Pacers outside of West have zero basketball IQ on offense. Their execution down the stretch was so bad. I mean even a high school team can inbound better than that.

I would trust a James layup over a Bosh 3.

It's crazy how Lebron played like trash, had 5 fouls in 14 minutes (which allowed the Pacers to go off), and the Pacers almost found a way to choke the game away. Honestly, Miami deserved that game, and Bosh deserved that 3 for the shit tier ending from the Pacers. If LeBron wasn't like 3-10 with 7pts or something like that, they would be resting for the Finals. I agree with the refs fucking him, he did come in and play shitty on Offense though.

Paul George won't do that shit again next game, and lol at Lewis playing like a professional basketball player this game.

No one as ESPN an knows what to say when they can't talk about LeBron.

God their crew sucks so hard. Simmons needs to stick to writing as he should also invest in a toothbrush. His teeth are yellow as fuck.

Apple buying Beats should speed up the process of Detox getting released....
All the nerds and Apple haters were shitting on that purchase (to me it seemed dumb but what the fuck do I know) but I do notice a ton of people proudly rocking those headphones.

Be interesting to see why they wanted it though. Can't imagine it was for the headphones.

I think it was for the headphones. Apple makes money out the ass for basically every peripheral except headphones right now. They'll probably try some new audio jack technology that does better quality out, and conveniently only works with $400 Apple brand headphones.

Beats brand is way bigger for headphones.

No way they rebrand it to Apple.

And it will take them a long time to make 3 billion back on Beats profits. I would bet that they bought it for their streaming service or something else we don't know about.

Wouldn't be surprising if they slapped a lowercase i on the front of it, though.

Still saying it'll be the vertical integration. They make crazy money on accessories, but not headphone accessories. Yet. Once they have a new output connection format (and Beats as the first brand of headphones that use it), they'll license out the tech to 3rd party headphone makers for a cool 30% surcharge.

Audio snobbery is pretty terrible and I say that owning Philips Fidelio X1s:

The only reasons I would say a headphone is better than another is durability and comfort. the X1s are built very well and they seemingly disappear once you wear them a while. Best headphones Ive ever had. But if a person is happy with Beats, thats fine. Im not special because I bought a $300 set of phones.
 
I took my daughter to the Sacramento River Cats game tonight (A's AAA team) and met Ricky Henderson, which was awesome. After Cal Ripken, he is THE guy from my childhood.

Lebron differing to Bosh LOL.

I'm going to assume he was trying to avoid a foul there. Already had 5 and Pacers would try to draw a charge and how the game had been called he would've picked up his 6th. Besides we have learned that he always looks for the open guy which 9/10 times is the right play.

Bosh was open but they closed on him fast but even then when it left his hands it looked like it was going in.

Overall I do notice not just LeBron but all players sacrifice a layup in order to set up a three.

All the people surprised by Rashard? Why? He is at this point purely a 3 point specialist and most of his looks were wide open. More surprising was his great effort on D and rebounding.

I wonder how much Spo plays him now if Birdman is healthy for the next game.

I use Audio Technica ATH-AD700s, they rule!!

Ive gotten to a point where I will only buy headphones if they have the "floating headrest"
My Fidelios have a springy padded metal headrest that form fits on the head and it looks like yours do as well. Also the phones are made with a lot of metal and have a sturdiness to them. I spent 150k on my previous phones and they fucking broke at the plastic fork, and the company doesnt even make simple replacement parts. Screw that shit. Im never buying cheap headphones again.

Was Ricky actually just watching or was he suited up still trying to get some playing time?

I swear every time I see the Heat play he is bricking wide open 3's.
