    It's been an interesting series with the Cavs trying to maintain their flow and composure and Boston trying to use every trick in the book to make it competitive
  2. He will be a top 5 pick, I think. But I have my doubts that he will be much more than a solid starter, maybe a borderline all-star, in the NBA. I'll be interested to see how he measures out.
  3. ^I've wondered about the potential for cutting out a small 'light well' (proper term?) on the interior, which would solve that problem and give the building a tiny, private courtyard.

    Back on topic..... the starting 5 of Mozgov, Love, James, Smith, and Irving is now 27-4. That is a clip on pace with the 72-10 Bulls from '95-'96.
  5. Yes. Check out the discussion in the Ohio Restaraunt Reviews thread Edit - I see Strap already directed you there

    Tristan finished 5th in Sixth Man of the Year voting, behind Lou Williams (the winner), Isaiah Thomas, Jamal Crawford, and Andre Igoudala. In other words, he was considered the best bench Big in the league
  7. If the landlord follows proper procedures as spelled out in Ohio law, evictions (through whatever court) should not take longer than 5 weeks. Judges are not influenced by the voting power of one tenant. Typically, Ohio courts have strongly favored landlords, especially when presumptions are to be made. The procedures are tougher on landlords when the tenant is Section 8 or otherwise subsidized. It is a trade-off the landlord must accept for the security in rent payments the landlords received when accepting such tenants.
  8. I really don't like Octopus, but I tried a bite and it was quite tolerable (take that in the context of someone who just generally doesn't like the dish). It was still chewy, but not rubbery at all. The sauce it came with was good. I am not sure how the entrée differs from the app, but she got the app. As for pricing, we kind of went wild with an app, an entrée, and an extra side dish for each of us, plus two desserts and a few drinks. Total bill was $120, without the tip. The portions were "Greek", so we left there with a large bag of leftovers to enjoy yesterday.
  9. ^^what time were you there? We sat down around 730. Had a table against the north wall in the front My wife got the octopus too and she loved it. I had the salmon for my entree and it was outstanding
  10. My wife and I went to Santorini Greek Taverna in the WHD (Cleveland) last night. She is 100% Greek so she has been waiting for this one to open. She loved it and said it was the most authentic Greek food she has had since the last time she was in Astoria. I am not a big fan of Greek food myself, but enjoyed everything I tried. Good atmosphere. Highly recommended. The real test will come the next time my mother in law comes to visit. I hope this one survives

    That's been known for awhile. It's the reason LeBron signed a short term deal with opt outs and the reason KLove won't opt out of his contract this summer
  12. I wouldn't go so far as to say she has trashed her job prospects. In fact, she might get an offer out of (perhaps misplaced) sympathy. We live in a funny world. Just take the example of the Indiana Pizzeria which came out in favor of the 'right to discriminate bill' and was interviewed on Fox. The 'go fund me' site set up for those folks raised close to a million dollars....... I assume to make up for all the lost business it would have got catering weddings with Pizza but for its interview on Fox......

    But would you actually use the WFL to get from Aloft to the game? I probably wouldn't. All it would do is take you to TC and then you'd have to take the walkway (i.e. hamster tube). The shuttle would at least drop you off at the gate. It's an option I suppose is worth mentioning, but in all honesty I personally would probably just walk. The only time I use the WFL is when I am arriving in or leaving downtown via Rapid. I don't use it to escort me from one downtown location to another.

    Hmmmm..... not sure about that. I know Ben Gordon was born in England, but the chart ties him to Brazil. Worthy was born in North Carolina.
  15. Hts121 replied to mrnyc's post in a topic in Sports Talk
    ^I don't follow. Worthy - UK? Hardaway - Turkey? Payton - Indonesia?

    ^Oops. Nets. But same conclusion. The Nets are a better team than your typical 8th seed.... certainly more dangerous IMO than Boston or Milwaukee.
  17. And the cost of the requisite additional infrastructure. Traffic is not getting any better in any of those high-growth MSAs.

    "BROWNS" down the leg seems to be the most controversial. I have heard from people who hate it and from people who love it. Per an interview I heard yesterday, that was something which went down to the wire during the course of finalizing the design.

    I am assuming that Shawn "The Matrix" Marion, who will be retiring at the end of this season, will not be in the playoff rotation. If so, what a great way to end his career last night with a steal and breakaway dunk to seal the regular season finale in OT. If that is the last play he makes on an NBA floor, it would be fitting. I was happy for him. As for the playoffs, things couldn't have worked out better. We have Boston first and then play the winner of Chicago and Milwaukee. Home court through both of those series. The other bracket in the EC has Atlanta, Indiana, Toronto, and Washington. I would almost rather play any of the teams in our bracket over any of the teams in the other bracket. And, should we make it to the EC finals, only Atlanta would hold home court over us. On the other hand, if we make it to the NBA finals, we are almost sure to not have home court.

    Love em. Good balance between change and tradition. I like the white on white, but my favorite combo I think is the brown top and Orange pants. Now to decide which one to buy first....

    ^Blue-dogs. Not necessarily Obama voting dems, but dems. WVa is typically a democrat state, filled with blue-dogs, but didn't vote for Obama.

    21?

    The urgency of picking a WR has diminished significantly with the signings of Bowe and Hartline. If someone they feel can be a dynamic game-changer falls to them at 12 or 19, and I would think that group would be limited to White, Cooper, and Parker, I could see them selecting a WR. But they now have Bowe, Hartline, Hawkins, and Gabriel, which isn't an awful unit at all. Depth on the DL is more of a concern. We have to get better at holding the point of attack and stopping the run. Also, the right side of our OL needs help.

    All he had to do was distance himself from Obama. Instead, he brought Obama and Biden to campaign for him the weekend before the election. The polls were neck and neck, until then. You keep trying to sell that narrative but it doesn't line up with the facts....... just like your 2012 predictions about "all your friends who voted for Obama the first time..." was shown to be totally false. The 2010 elections, like most mid-term elections, were about turnout and the Dems got killed on turnout in 2010.

    The 'Orange Carpet' event is going to be so anti-climatic given the leaks of the new jersey design....
