    that's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen in the NBA. I think dallas are hoping to tweak things a little on offense, but you are correct. if dallas' offense doesn't change much from what it was this year, then that means Klay will have a lot of catch and shoot, put the ball down...

    yeah and we all heard Stuart holden refer to that as well. Holden said that Greg was telling his team that. if he was actually doing that then it just shows what kind of a spare that he is. like hey guys let's just not give up a goal. and then look what happened.

    interesting that he signed at the max. I was wondering if he would take less money to help get other players there. but I think some of the people he wanted to come there did not want to be there.

    I would start to believe again if it happened. not banking on it.

    I saw the video where the ref refused to shake pulsic's hand. It appears Pulisic was telling the ref to go celebrate with Uruguay. that might be why he refused to shake hands. the ref sucked, but not a classy move by Christian either.

    I think that is Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page? LZ's label, swan song helped introduce Bad Company if I recall correctly, and Bad Company quickly stepped out of LZ's shadow with a lot of success in their own right.

    that's so true and so awesome! I wish I got to be stationed in Germany. that's the one place that I always wanted to live at but never got to. I felt like Queen were pop culture icons in Brittain. Brian May played God Save the Queen on top of Buckingham Palace for the Queen's golden jubilee...

    I was always obsessed with Led Zeppelin as a young kid for some reason. probably because their music is off the charts good. I could talk for days of how bands like the Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin transformed music. To be fair they all were influenced by old American blues artists as well...

    I've heard people say that same thing over there. and my perception might be because as you say that there is a disparity from the UK/US with Queen. I had people say that Zeppelin were more popular there than in the USA. and I didn't feel that at all in my time there. I'm just going off of the...

    yeah I agree. and to clarify I meant in the UK Queen is more popular than all other rock bands except for the Beatles. I would totally rather see Queen over the Beatles. It's pretty cool to see how music is perceived in the UK vs the US.

    my parents loved them. I came back to them when I was older. I love Steve Perry's voice. and Neal is a very good guitar player. IMO Perry is as good as I've ever heard. and that includes Freddy. Freddy had the octive ranges. so did Chris Cornell and to some degree Robert plant in his younger days.

    same! I was a little too young for both. I did not realize the level of Queen's popularity in the UK until I lived there. they blow just about everyone out except the Beatles..rock band wise.

    one of my favorite Nirvana songs. Chad's drums kind of remind me of the sound that Page and Bonham got out of his drum kit at Headley Grange.

    I saw it and it was weirdly quiet, yet very loud at times, compared to other movies that I've seen.

    This is a band that has one or two songs that are overplayed. this is not one of them IMO. and good debate here. is journey the American version queen? they have a great singer and really good stadium guitar player in their own right. Queen is a whole other level of popular in Britain. they...

    I think dallas need Klay to be who he is now. if he can score 15-17 per game like he did last year, that fits exactly to what dallas needs right now. plus he has championship pedigree and will step into open looks. His time at GS is viewed differently because of the titles and the big time...

    one mavs expert that I trust, mark followill who is the mavs play by play commentator, made a good point that Jason Kidd maybe had too much of a hook on Exum in the playoffs. Exum had a great season for the mavs and did hit some clutch shots. but Exum was often on a short leash in the playoffs...

    @nashman I do agree with you that Klay is not his former self. and I don't expect a lot from him on the defensive end, which is a concern for me with dallas next year. I'm not certain what their identity will be. It seemed like last year they were all in on the offensive side in the first half...

    fair take. there is give and take with the trade. the trade was a good deal for both sides considering that Klay was leaving GS. Dallas let Jones Jr. walk because they can't afford to pay both he and Klay. Hardaway Jr. was always leaving. Kidd lost complete confidence in him. so I don't see...

    He is not basically Hardaway Jr. but ok. Hardaway Jr. went approx. a month with 0 points in the playoffs. you were the one that said Dallas got pushed by the refs past OKC. now you are praising their role players that got exposed in the finals. I don't expect you to really know what you are...

    their depth is better now. Hardaway averaged less than 3 points per game in the playoffs and less than 10 per game in the last 3 months of the season. something was off with Hardaway. not sure if the trades affected his confidence, but he tanked badly. it was obvious in the finals that dallas...

    IDK, I read today that US Soccer are performing a comprehensive review. I guess they didn't watch the Copa America in real time. greg should have been on probation considering what happened before. and this team has gone backwards under greg. Panama and Jesse Marsch's Canada went farther than US...
