Get Out is great for its symbolism and social commentary, not its boilerplate intrigue.
That it's a halfway decent thriller besides is a nice vehicle to deliver the movie's actual strengths.

Get Out is amazing. One of my favorite theater crowd experiences ever.
yep i was surprised at how hard they played and how much the crowd was into it.
By linsivvi Go To PostThe level of play isn't too high, but the Big 3 is going to be more entertaining than summer league by a mile.

Following his win of Most Valuable Player of the 16-17 regular season, Russell Westbrook was asked whether he's ready to commit to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Westbrook can sign a supermax contract beginning on July 1st.
"Man, tonight is so important for me, and obviously with the contract and stuff coming up, it's not really on my mind at the moment honestly," said Westbrook. "I'm just overwhelmed with a tremendous amount of blessings I've been able to get to be able to get this award. Man, I'm just thinking about tonight, and then after that, I'll move on."
If Westbrook doesn't agree upon an extension, the Thunder are expected to explore their trade options.
lol

Also, Payton trying to calm down Kwame Brown after he got T'ed up was funny as hell.
Monk sprained his ankle, won't be in this year's struggle league. I mean, Summer league.
Only out 2-4 weeks so he'll be good for training camp.

But yeah, calming down Kwame by telling him "we up 11, don't worry". Man did they almost blow that whole game...

this whole article is hilarious. esp the bit on Wiggins being a god awful defender. this was my favorite award tho

MOST OVER-AMBITIOUS DUNKER
Marquese Chriss, Phoenix Suns
The missed dunk is one of the more universal plays in basketball. In a split-second, it has a neat little narrative arc: the audacity to leap in defiance of gravity and the instant comeuppance. Some players experience this more than others. Marquese Chriss experiences it more than anyone.
Chriss missed 26 dunks this season, four more than second-place DeAndre Jordan … on 146 fewer attempts. Chriss’s 79.8 shooting percentage on dunks is the worst mark Basketball Reference has on record for any player who tried at least 100 dunks in a season.
Not all missed dunks are of equal difficulty, of course. Dwyane Wade getting stuffed by the bottom of the rim in a playoff game is not the same as Chriss blowing in-traffic NBA Jam dunks. But there’s a certain charm to Chriss’s misses, like he knows they aren’t “all worth two points” and he’s determined to collect the difference, even at the cost of the two points.
By rodeoclown Go To PostAndrew Wiggins is the human embodiment of Yi's chair.
But could Yi's chair run into people so well to average 8 FTAs per game?
Ernie Grunfeld finished 5th in the NBA Executive of the Year voting. #NBAAWards
1. Waste a year of our cores prime playing with bums on 1 year deals to have a hope of KD
2. Be a GM in the NBA for over 10 years and not even have the connections to know you're not even getting an interview with said player
3. Use cap space meant for KD on Ian Mahinmi, Jason Smith, and Andrew Nicholson, three guys I wouldn't have wanted with Philly's money
4. Have to include a first to move a bum you just signed a few months ago to get a player who isn't even under contract in the summer
5. Trade a second round pick for Trey Burke
5. Team does well in spite of you and loses in the playoffs because the depth is is paper thin despite ALL OF YOUR CAP MONEY GOING TOWARDS BENCH HELP
6. Finish 5th in the nba executive of the year voting
omg, they included that 2-1 fastbreak of Bledsoe and Chriss vs. Gobert.
Bledsoe: "fuck, I don't want to try this against Gobert."
*Bledsoe throws up a lob that is... deflected by Gobert*
*Chriss tries to score on Gobert anyway*
*Gets rejected*
That sequence was one of my favorites of the year.

No, it's true. White people invented hamburgers and Batman and then that was pretty much it for us.

99>97 on RT brehs. I'm not wrong.
Plus, Get Out is quintessential Hitchockian storytelling, which imo is one of the Godfathers of filmmaking.
but let's not act like FR has a shit third act just because omg vehicles going real fast!
And coming from a forum that voted Arrival as best movie, gais pls.

Celtics want to trade for George after they sign Hayward D:

I think it's pretty astounding that shooting with Andrew Wiggins on you is really no different than being uncontested. It's like being in an empty gym. It's basically like we play 4 on 5 on defense.

Hayward and George are great at everything on the court other than dribbling so they actually fit really well together D:
Most teams don't have two good defensive forwards so whomever gets the harder defensive matchup can focus on shooting, cutting, rebounding, and defense while the other guy just goes off scoring.
Kevin Love trying to guard Paul George or Gordon Hayward seems like a huge plus to the Celtics.

The Celtics have a growing confidence they could sign George to a contract extension, and keep him from leaving to his predetermined free-agent destination of the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told The Vertical. Boston’s belief that it can make George more than a one-year rental is fueling the franchise’s willingness to part with a significant package of assets, league sources said.Yeah, but like, then Ainge might have to part with Terry Rozier.

It would have to basically be an all in move for the Celtics because of the positioning they'd have to do. There's no way the Pacers don't get a huge return under those conditions. They'd get either Tatum or the Nets pick at least.
It sounds like we're going hard after Rubio and Bev right now, hope we can get it done for one of those guys.

There's no way the Pacers don't get a huge return under those conditions. They'd get either Tatum or the Nets pick at least.Still a move the Celtics should make. Their hope is that Tatum might one day be as good as Paul George is right now. But you can have the real, actualized PG on your roster, which gives you a significantly better shot at coming out of the East next year.
Their team is older. Horford is 31. It is 28. If those are guys that they're committed to (and they're about to be very committed to IT), you do it. Make the win now moves. Go all in.

if I was the wizards I would go all in because we haven't gone to the finals in forever and it would be our superbowl just to get there but this is boston--just getting to the finals only to get rekt is probably not worth giving up your entire future for
They gave up on Fultz because they think a 28-year-old undersized PG about to receive a $179m contract is their future.
The thing is, while George and Hayward and Bradley fit together great, IT2 fits terribly with those three guys, making it a bit awkward.
By reilo Go To PostThey gave up on Fultz because they think a 28-year-old undersized PG about to receive a $179m contract is their future.Yeah, the long and short of it. They think their window is now and their best shot to win going forward is through Thomas. So you should trade for proven veterans and stop focusing on what might be and potential. Sure, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum could be good, but if they are, they're years away from that and then your veteran building blocks are old and the window is closed.
Beverley's contract is amazing, why does Houston want to trade him, wtf.
2 years, $11m?
That's fucking great, omg.

Our options...
George Hill: 4 years, $88 million D:
Bev: 2 years, $11 million... But we'll probably have to give up a pick or two
Rubio: 2 years, $29 million but we'll have to give up Favors and maybe something else...
I need to know how many picks we would need to give up for Bev but I'm leaning to him right now... Ingles and Hayward can do ball handling duties also.

Hayward low key already packing his bags bruh
Klein already said the Hayward + George deal is far fetched because PG would be needlessly walking away from money by signing an extension and not making a team use his birds rights for his super max.
For Boston to feel comfortable making the trade, PG would have to agree to an extend n trade which he and his agent won't do cause it costs them a ton of money.
But if Woj is saying that contigencies are in place already ahead of free agency then that's scary as fuck
