I dislike her Suns attacks but they are a problem of the moment. Assuming we start an upward rise as we all hope and expect, it will be nothing more than a bad memory by this time next season. But all in all, I've grown to like her as a host.

Not that it's relevant but she's the daughter in law of Mike Nichols who passed away a few years ago. He directed Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Graduate, Catch-22, Working Girl and several others. My personal favorites of his films are hardly classics but I especially liked Wolf and What Planet Are You From.

Don't forget Primary Colors and Closer... which is one of the most devastating movies about relationships ever made. Man, that one just sucks your soul dry.

Yeah, I passed on that one because reviews suggested it was not my kind of movie. Your comment confirms it for me.

Did you ever watch Wolf? I guess it mostly bombed but I loved it. Nicholson pissing on Spader's shoes is a classic moment IMO.

I love how she laughs at McDonough for all his lottery misses.

She's an idiot. I saw her brag recently about how she gave a coach advice for the second half.
All these ESPN talking heads that have never played a sport in their life giving expert commentary are ridiculous.

Report on the game fine, pretend like you have some kind of insight? Give me a break.

I was so beyond stoked for Wolf to come out as a teenager, but the reviews savaged it and I never got around to seeing it in the theaters. Every time I've tried since then randomly on cable, it's just seemed... well... awful. I should give it another try tho?

It's not a great movie but the interplay between Spader and Nicholson saves it for me. But it helped that we had zero expectations for it going in.

And daughter-in-law of Elaine May. Mike & Elaine started out as a comedy team, which you probably know. They were good people.

Some announcers at ESPN are knocking Ayton again but who would think Stepen A. Smith would be a defender. Plus Jay Bilas like him

Stephen A. had a rant a day or so ago, saying that Suns ought turn off their phones for any calls about the No. ! pick and draft Ayton.
