DAE not care for the whole Klingon empire and ideals? by Therealsebastiandiorin startrek

[–]chemdude1232 1 point2 points ago

Honor is one thing (which I can respect), but the notion that if/when something goes wrong they do their best Hulk Smash impersonation gets old.

I've always thought they'd be better suited if they were based upon old Nordic mythologies. There is honor and duty in it, but also profound visions of love, respect, and a general sense of depth that normal Klingons are lacking IMO.

Discussion On If Championships Matter by HockeySwagin nba

[–]chemdude1232 3 points4 points ago

Who had similar assist stats to Stockton? Ever? For that duration? Only 9 times in NBA history has someone eclipsed 1000 assists in one season. Stockton is responsible for 7 of those. His steals numbers - as an aggregate - won't be touched for many years.

I could pull out similar stats for Barkley or Baylor or Malone or whomever. No one had "similar stats" to them. I'm not trying to be snarky or sound like an asshole with this BTW.

[–]chemdude1232 3 points4 points ago

No offense to OP, but to claim that the lack of a championship relegates Elgin Baylor, John Stockton, and Charles Barkley to merely "really good superstar players," implies a lack of knowledge regarding what it takes to compete at a high level for two decades.

Basketball is very much a team sport, and to heap 6 championships on MJ instead of MJ + teammates is, IMO, faulty.

Now conservatives are “bamboozling” about economy - Obama says Republicans are to blame for the debt by goalieace93in Conservative

He might as well blame Bolivians for starting WW2, since both statements have the same amount of truth.

I had no idea Deuterium really existed by HerbertSnowin startrek

What's even cooler is that dilithium - in the gas phase especially - can exist. Li2 for the win!

Quick Update on Star Trek: Cardinal by Bovice1in startrek

[–]chemdude1232 8 points9 points ago

I'm sorry, but I'm just not feeling Cardinal.

Broken record here, but Bryan Singer's ST: Federation has far, far more potential as a relevant and serious series which would be stunning if done correctly.

Ever get to interact with Phil Jackson? If so, what are your thoughts on him?

Top 10 players in NBA history according to somebody from FoxSports by ezcheesyin nba

I take umbrage with some of the ordering of the players and some perceived inconsistencies, but overall the names are on the right track.

Who'd win a seven-game series, the 2000-01 Lakers (15-1 in the playoffs) or the 1995-96 Bulls (72-10 in the regular season)? by iupvoteorignorein nba

[–]chemdude1232 2 points3 points ago

Confirmed. That's two 4-0 sweeps for the Bulls.

I'm curious, however, since I'd have thought that Shaq would have wrecked those Bulls teams.

I still wish it was more of a Star Trek: Federation (a la Bryan Singer) storyline.

Jerry Sloan to interview for Charlotte Bobcats coaching job :D by im_so_metain nba

[–]chemdude1232 0 points1 point ago

I don't see Jerry enjoying the bright city lights of LA. Portland could work, however his style is probably too similar to Nate McMillan's. If Portland is looking to distance themselves from that then I doubt he'd get that job.

If someone takes you up on that bet, are you going to be like the guy who promised to drink his own piss and not follow through?

Cause there are going to be a lot of witnesses to this bet.

Red Auerbach on Flopping by Mens_Reain nba

[–]chemdude1232 1 point2 points ago

That's an excellent point and one that would be great to have addressed. I doubt the NBAPA would go for it ("it" being my remedy), sadly.

Red Auerbach on Flopping by Mens_Reain nba

[–]chemdude1232 2 points3 points ago

What gets my goat is not only the flopping, but the hypocrisy of it. Guys like, say, Varejao who are serial floppers complain like their mothers got shot when someone flops on them. Or when the refs don't call their attempt at flopping.

Retroactive technical fouls, administered after the game upon reviewing game tape, and the associated $2k fine would curb that. The technical fouls don't have to be shooting fouls, but would certainly count toward the threshold for suspensions (you get 15 or 16 or whatever and you get a one-game suspension).
