Yeah, it'd God of War IIV to C-Vig I guess? Or just like God of War X or something.

the problem i had w/ it is the world levels up with you. i hate that. takes away any sense in grinding.

also, ff7 was just miles better.

FF7 SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS
FF8 has major problems
FF9 is fun, no replayability.
FFX is the best of these. I actually thought it was a really good game overall.
FFX-2 doesn't really count
FF12 SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS
FF13 is I dunno.

Haven't looked at dallas/denver but for example -- Spurs final 20 games or so they have

@ miami/@ orlando back to back, @ Atlanta/@ OKC back to back, @Boston, Lakers/Cleveland/Houston/Orlando at home, @ kings/ @ suns back to back, @ denver 2nd game of back to back, @ lakers, @ dallas

I mean that is absurd

they could potentially go like 4-10 or 5-9

So after I see that I think WOW can Memphis/Houston really take that 8th spot!? But their schedules are similarly ABSURD

Memphis -- @ Houston 2nd game of back to back, @ bucks, Dallas at home, @ orlando, houston/@dallas back to back, @ SA, @ Denver, @ OKC -- thats 9 tough games instead of 14.....

honestly I could see Memphis making a strong push if they see Spurs drop a couple of their next 5, that would be sick.

Especially with tony parker out-- anybody want to give me odds that memphis gets the 8th spot?

Denver supposedly had the toughest last 20 games in the entire league to end the season. That's what someone was saying on the last TNT game.

But, really, I think most of it is just getting through March. Something like 20 games in 29 days in 10 different cities.

I forget exactly what the TNT crew said.

Oh, and Dallas supposedly had the easiest. Which made their 1 seed hopes somewhat possible.

I think the last RPG I really played and beat was dragon warrior. Never got into FF. Sports, RTS (Starcraft) and FPS (Team Fortress 2, CS) were stuff I got more into.

Fwiw FF13 has gotten pretty dreadful reviews (and by this I really mean mostly not above a 9.0)-- if you're a fan of classic FF FF13 is going to blow, since it's basically a ******-dumbed down version of FF for Western gamers who don't like side quests, don't like talking to NPC's, and basically don't like any of the slow, methodical aspects of classic Japanese RPG's. Basically America has ruined videogames.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/plat...20XIII#critics -- 83 for a FF game is awful.

Oh, Inverted World ainec. Like I seriously question the musical tastes of anyone who would choose Chutes too Narrow.

Haha, I was thinking about this from the other side. The only SFs I think Turner is for sure less athletic than are LeBron, Melo, Maggette, Granger, Gerald, and Rudy Gay. I guess I think he's in that next upper tier and you probably think he's on the other side of the "average" player. Part of the problem is that it's hard to compare until you see him playing against other NBA players. We'll have a lot better idea next year.

hehe yeah kinda. I lived with a FF nerd in college for awhile. According to him it was 3 > 7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else. Internet poker pretty much killed any desire I had to level or grind a video game

I can't keep up but I think draft express moved Cousins to #3 and Favors to 4

best case scenario is Bulls win the tank race with the Raps and luckbox a top 3 pick. Cousins would fill the decade old PF hole pretty nicely

Anyway, here is the haralabos post on counterpart data.

I don't bother with counterpart data, we have actually charted the defender for each possession. Why would we bother postulating who was likely to have been the defender, when we actually know who the defender was.

When I take our charted defensive data and compare it to counterpart data, I find counterpart data to be nearly useless.

Actually butler is probably a good comparison - a few years ago some deceived him to me as either mist athletic unathletic guy of the least athletic athletic guy in the NBA.

TBJ talks about the Raps WAY too much.

I know they live in Toronto but they run a major podcast that thousands and thousands of people listen to all over the country/world. It's ridiculous to spend as much time talking about one mediocre team.
