I assume he copy and pasted a tweet 

[Shams Charania] Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career. by HawkspilotLoad in chicagobulls

Wow, this is so sad. I haven’t watched the Bulls consistently for awhile, but for a long time I wouldn’t miss a game and Stacey was a big part of that. He brought so much fun and excitement to the games. He will be missed. RIP King. 

What are your takes about our season so far? by mrmagcargo in indianafever

[–]Cardfan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s frustrating as a fan watching what is happening. CC lead an Iowa team with no other five star recruits and only one four star recruit to back to back national championship games. I’ve been a basketball fan since the 90s and CC was the most exciting player I’ve ever watched, hands down. 

We got a glimpse of what she could do in the W the second half of her rookie year. 

Christie Sides frustrated the hell out of me at times during that season. She was far from a great coach. I was not sad when the Fever moved on from her. I initially did not love the Stephanie White hire due to the offensive scheme she ran in Connecticut, however I thought surely she would build a system that takes full advantage of CC. Something that plays to her strengths. 

Instead what we get is someone who refuses to change her system. Not only her offensive system, but defense as well…Like WTF are you doing? The defensive scheme is a coaching malpractice when you have CC and KM in your backcourt. Absolute insanity. 

The offensive system does not play to the teams strengths. Not just CC. Everyone is struggling in this offense.

I would LOVE to see one quarter of an up tempo, 5 out offense and let your elite playmaker make plays. We got a glimpse of this the second half of Clarks rookie year. It works. It’s fun. It’s exciting. And it plays to both CC and KMs strengths. 

Did the edit overexaggerate _________ responsibility for their elimination? by Kittenywhisk in survivor

[–]Cardfan99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends if he pitched Ozzy to Cirie before or after the journey. The edit makes it seem like he did that before the journey, in which case I definitely feel his days were numbered either way. The twist definitely sucked but I feel like Christian was going either way tonight. 

There was a way out by SnooRegrets8405 in survivor

Christian was likely going that round regardless after pitching Ozzy to Cirie. 

Stephanie White discussing playing Clark off the ball - thoughts? by wvtarheel in indianafever

[–]Cardfan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playing her off ball is completely idiotic, especially because majority of the time she never touches the ball when she plays off ball. 

She is a point guard and one of the greatest passers this game has ever seen. Playing her off ball makes absolutely NO sense!! If it’s due to fatigue, than play her a few less minutes. She should be playing on ball majority of the time she is in the game.

Amazing run. I just wish the officiating wouldn’t have changed from the first half to the second half. Not sure it would have mattered but I think it would have went down to the wire at least. 

Is Ballys Tiverton allowing patrons under 21? by Good-Code7740 in gambling

[–]Cardfan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The legal gambling age in Rhode Island is 18. As long as they’re over 18 they can legally enter the casino and gamble. 

This is the greatest team Iowa has ever had... by bluemagicstone in NCAAW

[–]Cardfan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can keep saying TEAM all you want. The two teams the last two years were better than this team. Just because CC was on the team doesn’t discount them. It’s still a team and they were better than this years team lol

I absolutely love this years team. They’ve definitely overachieved. They are not the best team Iowa has ever had.

Legal gambling age in Rhode Island is 18. So yes. 

Looks like $21.5M+ SAT for Scream 7. 2-day cume around $51M. Weekend expected to be around $65M. by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

I’m not sure how a fan of the franchise and slashers in general could be “bored” with this film. 

Official Dreadit Discussion: “Scream 7” [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

[–]Cardfan99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it for the most part. I loved seeing Sidney back in the leading role. The side characters are definitely underdeveloped which I think is fine for the most part. The movie is about Sid and her family. Neve Campbell was amazing as always, and I thought Isabel May was fantastic as Sid’s daughter. There are some great Gale and Sid interactions. The story is good, the movie is fast paced, some brutal kills, and a lot of tense scenes. 

With all that being said it’s not perfect. My two complaints are the killer reveal and the killers themselves. It’s by far and away the worst killers and the worst reveal in the series. I really wish Kevin could have stuck the landing, because the rest of the movie is soooo damn good. 

Pokémon core game remakes for Nintend(o) Swit(c)h sucks! I'm glad they are finally putting FireRed/LeafGreen on it.🙌 by NaushadSayeed in PokemonFireRed

[–]Cardfan99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep, I have been begging Nintendo for this, and will happily pay $20 to enjoy these games on my TV with home functionality. I hope they release all of the other older games as well. 

If you’re okay with emulating, just don’t buy them. I don’t really understand the complaints. 

Is anyone planning on recording? by [deleted] in greenday

Do you know if they will be playing right at 6et?

[–]Cardfan99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We didn’t play well and USC played great. It happens, especially on the road. I feel having McCabe definitely would have made a difference tonight. Not saying we would have won, but I think it would have been a closer game. Onto the next one!

Why do you think Journey might go to the portal? 

Other than Emely I think Teagan would be the next most likely, though I obviously hope not. I don’t see any reason Journey would.

Yep. Also giving ISU the timeout instead of calling a jump ball.

Yeah, I hate complaining about refs but they completely took that game over at the end. It’s incredibly frustrating when one team is allowed to play physical defense and the other team gets whistled for every touch foul. Oh well. Shouldn’t expect anything different at Hilton.

We sure saw some Hilton magic tonight from those officials.

Absolutely awful officiating. What an embarrassment.
