I was so happy for him in 2008 though when he finally got the ring he was never able to win in Minnesota. I do think Love is gone after 2013, doesn't seem like the Timberwolves are trying all that hard to keep him. :(

I like KG and was glad he got a ring. I hope the Wolves try and keep Love here and build a decent team. Rubio seems to be a nice addition too.

Watching Aviator and hoping for the Timberwolves 6th win of the season tonight. Would be nice to see them beat the Clippers on Friday, too. :rock:

I think they can beat the Clippers. Griffin needs a healthy dose of Love upside him.;)

Last year it took them 23 games to get their 6th win, I think they have a 90% chance tonight. Also think the move of Ridnour to SG makes Beasley at BEST a reserve and maybe permanently one that doesn't come off the bench, we'll see. Watching a bit of Bank Job before work, still consider it the best heist movie ever.

Reviewer gave AQ 4.5 of 5, but only 3 of 5 for the PQ :(

Farscape is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of A&E with AVC encoded 1080p transfers in 1.33:1 for the series' first three seasons and 1.78:1 for the last season (I"ve included screencaps of both aspect ratios so that you can see the difference). Farscape was filmed in Australia and presented there in the PAL standard. The series' creators are insisting that the 35mm prints are nowhere to be found, plus the visual effects were created in SD (meaning they'd have to be recreated for a true HD master), so this is an upconversion which unfortunately does not look great a lot of the time. I'd actually rank the 1.33:1 seasons at somewhere between a 2.5 and 3.0 and the fourth season moderately higher at between a 3.0 and 3.5, for an average score of 3.0. The image is frequently fuzzy, with less than appealing color and some very spotty contrast. The series is often quite dark, regularly taking place within Moya's labyrinthine confines, and crush is rampant throughout these sequences. Things have at least a moderate improvement in the final season of the series, though even at a wider aspect ratio, the image is still distressingly soft a lot of the time, with little of the pop that one would hope for with a series of this relatively recent vintage and one which boasts such an impressive production design and sometimes staggering visual effects. In fact it's the visual effects that probably come off best in the series, with the animated sequences of Moya or other interstellar sequences achieving a modicum of clarity and precision which the rest of this presentation lacks.

Last year was a joke. I think with the reshuffling the Wolves should be much improved. Yeah, the Bank Job is a good one.

Interesting. Have you seen the show? I'm wondering how the story is and if it's worth a blind buy.:ohnoes:

Rubio is a huge difference all by himself, surprisingly. Ridnour is doing well as a SG, also surprisingly. Honestly wouldn't have guessed that losing Beasley would boost our offense this much, do think we need Johnson and/or Williams to start consistently knocking down shots if we want to consistently play well night in and night out.

No but it doesn't Look like it "looks" that great :shrug:

Too bad it's the deal of the day & would be a $69 Blind Buy :bitenails: If you did that...

Is there a Thread on it here, did you look for that to get some ideas?
