  1. Happy Birthday Javs!

  2. Mine's probably Sirius, with Snape coming in at a close second.
  3. Spoiler: Click here to viewA Harry/Snape duel would never have worked, because simply, Snape was far too strong for Harry. At the end of HBP Harry tried to attack Snape, but Snape easily deflected everything Harry had with ease. Harry's mother hadn't saved him from Snape, nor did they share any blood or have connections between their wands. Everything that made Harry so powerful against Voldemort would have no effect against Snape. A Snape/Voldemort duel would have been much more feesible. I didn't see Snape's "face turn" as such. Snape has been portrayed as an ambigious character hardly ever showing any signs of emotion throughout the entire story. This revelation was strictly made to improve Snape's character and give closure, not to shift blame onto the main antagonist.
  4. By making the spoilers available it's forced me to into a moral dillema. It's going to take all my willpower to avoid the spoilers until Saturday. So, basically, fuck him.
  5. US up on Poland 3-1 at half. Is that unexpected? I'm assuming that, a long with Adu's two goals in the first half, is?
  6. The way you're talking, Portland has suddenly become the most feared team in the league. They have a good, all around two guard who I don't necessarily see as a go to guy so much as a very steady, very dependable player. You've got an athletic forward who hasn't developed a strong enough post game yet. And you've got, if they draft him, a rookie center who will in all liklihood develop into a monster of a defensive center but still only be in that above average range offensively. There's no go to guy, there's no definitive team leader, there's no playmaker, and there's not a lot of depth. All these things could get addressed, but until they do, I'd stop with all the "Teams are scared, Portland's gonna be a dynasty" talk. I do, however, think if you leave Jack at point and let Webster try and play the three, they could be a young exciting team and start to get things turned around. It's unfair to Oden to say he'll only become an above average offensive weapon in the league. How many of the great centers have shown any polish or an equal amount of dominance in which they had in the pros in college, especially in their freshman year? Hakeem didn't, Ewing didn't. Shaq didn't, at least not in his freshman year. (But Shaq never had to develop any real polish on his game, considering he probably has the most overwhelming physical attritibutes of any player ever in the NBA). Robinson is in the same boat as Shaq regarding his freshman year. Oden, to be blunt, has never had to develop any form of his offensive abilities. Throughout his entire life, he's just been so fucking big that all he had to do was dunk, as is the case of most center prospects of Oden's ability. He showed the potential in his game with Florida to be an incredibly dominant center on both the offensive and defensive sides, especially considering the pussification of the current NBA big man.

  8. I'm not saying mentoring, where did I ever say that? He merely has to shoulder the offensive load, which he is capable of doing. Nonetheless, player's attitudes tend to change when they start winning(which IMO I think they'll be at least 500 next season). I'm not saying they have to start winning instantly either, it would be great for the development of Oden if he could spend the majority of his first season with a player who can shoulder the offensive load and double teams. If they could get Kidd for him? No doubt, but I just can't see the Nets giving up Kidd for Zach Randolph. I think Rashard Lewis would be a good deal too, but it's within the division. The only way they'd be able to do it is if it was a sign and trade, they can't afford him.
  9. I don't think Portland should trade Randolph, at least yet. He can help Oden/Aldridge develop offensively due to the double teaming he will get. Just the mismatches that the group together would possess, it's almost unfair on paper. I think the best thing to do right now is make Aldridge a sixth man(Randolph is a MUCH better as of right now, regarding offense and rebounding game). Everyonce in a while, use a combo line up of Randolph/Oden/Aldridge with a lot of kicking out to Aldridge (who would have a MUCH smaller player guarding him) and allow him to shoot his nice midrange J. Either way, the Blazers would wear down the opposing teams big men in the post as the game goes on with the posting up of Oden/Randolph and would likely be able to keep their big men fresh. Not saying it's the best long term option, but Aldridge's too soft to bang in the post, and Oden's offensive moves aren't near ready to be able to take on NBA double teams. Roy, while a great player, is going to be consistent and not neccesarily often a game changer. Keeping Randolph to allow Portland's future big three to gel with each other and Aldridge/Oden to develop without the full pressure of the offense on their shoulders seems like a no brainer to me.
  10. But how can he effectively be the bomb yet not die without using Claire's powers? I thought it was opposite, with him telling future Peter that Peter was the bomb and not him. I guess I'll have to go back and rewatch the episode.
  11. Did they ever state that Sylar got DL's/Shapeshifting girl's powers before the bomb in the future episode? I always assumed that happened following. DL murdering Linderman was definately unexpected, but I liked it. I've always liked DL as a character, it was Nikki/Jessica that has always annoyed me.
