They were playing a team without two of its starters, and there were still way too many turnovers, but CJ looked great, BI looked unstoppable, and Zion got 23 points despite a bit of a slow start. And Matt Ryan looks like the off-the-bench 3-point threat we needed (though Jordan Hawkins will probably take over that role and more sooner or later).

All in all, a promising win that shows a good base to build on, and a lot of room for growth.

 

The passes were lazy, the defense was atrocious, and Naji Marshall got injured.

There were a few bright spots. Jordan Hawkins looked great from 3, and EJ Liddell looked good as well, but the game was not nearly as close as the final score might indicate.

He looks real good when he has the ball and a head of steam downhill, but it just seems like everyone’s a little out of sync, so no one is really showing their full potential. I mean, 20 turnovers in the first half?? It’s hard to really judge anything when you’re dealing with stats like that. Let’s see what happens against the Hawks today. Hopefully they don’t look as godawful as last game and that we can actually get a good read on how the boys are doing.

 

The Pels looked as dead as this Lemmy community.

 

First preseason game against the Magic happening now at the blender. Hard to get a read on everything after just a few minutes, but everyone is looking pretty spry.

 

It was nice to hear Joelvenile announcing the Saints game. He’s such a good announcer: always calm, , astute analysis, asks good questions to the color commentator, etc. etc.

Can’t wait for him and AD to get back to what they do best.

Two of them were made after this article came out (he mentions four movies being made. Star Trek IV came out in 1986, TNG premiered in 1987). So Star Trek V 😬 and Star Trek VI 👍 were yet to be made.

That one actually isn’t a mistake. His last name was spelled “Ryker” when they were developing the show.

Zndl points out correctly that the trick is to not update the watch past watchOS 8. I would hope the watch series 7 would still ship with watchOS 8.

The most recent watch that maxes out at watchOS 8 is the series 3 but that one is pretty underpowered, so I’d have a hard time recommending it.

Looks like you’re right. For the fine print to be right, Apple Watch Series 7 would have to ship with watchOS 8. Do you think they’re still shipping like that? What a weird dilemma.

It looks like anything from Series 7 down will work with your wife's SE with iOS 15.

The small print from the Apple Watch Series 7:

Apple Watch Series 7 requires an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 15 or later.

iPhone SE was released after the iPhone 6s and can take iOS 15 so you should be good

It’s quite cool.

I totally understand your desire for a community that allows you to discuss classic trek without worrying that your enjoyment of new series will be lessened if you read spoilers. Reddit has a big enough user base to have separate subreddits for each series. Lemmy’s not there yet.

think there is a way to make any forum spoiler-avoidable, especially where very current episodes are at play. Sensible titles (e.g., including the episode discussed) would go a long way toward helping with this.

Lemmy also ostensibly supports spoiler tags

spoilers withinBut not every client supports them. Hopefully as clients improve, support will be universal.

Getting people to use those where appropriate might also help.

I look forward to seeing how this and other trek communities develop, and I hope that your experience improves.

“The Agreement was reached orally, and no loan documentation was prepared or signed by any of the parties at that time," the lawsuit said.

Just a friendly reminder to always get it in writing, especially if it’s, you know, $2 million.

I’m with you on your analysis. It wasn’t mindblowingly good, but it was certainly good enough to not feel like a band past its prime trying to cash in on one last payday. I do think that Billy West (Fry)‘s voice has aged some as well, but I got used to it after a minute or two and it was fine.

I think when you’re coming back from cancelation…AGAIN, and especially after so long, it’s not like a pilot, but it requires more exposition than a regular season opener. So it was good enough on its own merit, and I’m grading it on a curve as it’s the first episode in a decade and has to do a bit more storytelling drudgery than your average show.

Hydration is important! Other crew members should take note. (Surely the consoles are waterproof.)

 

DraftKings has the over/under on wins at 43.5, that’s two wins lower than last year’s prediction, and a game and a half higher than our record last season.

Thoughts?

I'm not letting myself have too good a feeling this offseason. I had a good feeling last offseason and look where that got me! I will keep an even keel until the Pels show me what to think of them when the regular season starts.

I’m hungry for Pels news, but we’re at a really quiet part of the off-season. With the draft done and Summer League over, there’s a real dearth of new information about the Pels’ upcoming season.

What do y’all focus on during this fallow period?

 

I hope he tears it up over there.

 

Zion's saying all the right things. I really hope he follows through on everything he's talking about here.
