Here’s what I remember about that year : Seattle getting the 1 seed and CHOKING vs 8 seed Nuggets. That one image at the end of Mutumbo holding the ball and being in pure joy won’t be forgetten.
.
Holy shit...I forgot this happened that season! In my memory, it happened the following season when Jordan came back right before the playoffs.
I'm gonna watch that series first.
Orlando needed Horace Grant a year earlier than they got him. If memory serves me correctly...this is still that period of Shaq's career where he couldn't make a free throw to save his life and all you had to do to fluster him was to keep fouling him.
Hardaway hadn't found his groove yet.
That whole organization (including the players) were too impatient....it's like they didn't realize they had the building blocks of a dynasty in place. Essentially locked in. Just needed to wait Jordan/Pippen out for their 3peat and just be happy with playoff appearances until then.
I hate Shaq but it was all over the moment they let him go. Such a colossal fuck up.
Crazy how their peak wound up being that 95 choke job against the Rockets.

They recorded it in a month. Obviously this is probably the last album...at least while they are alive.
I'm really hoping for one more amazing Keith track... although I doubt he can top Tell Me Straight.

Yeah it's gonna be his kid. They need to just admit it instead of letting it dragged out.
Started the 93-94 NBA season. It's too long....gonna skip to the playoffs. While I do remember who went to the finals (Rockets vs Knicks) I'm looking forward to seeing how it led to that.
The 93-94 season is fascinating because it's the first post-Jordan year of the NBA. No one knew what would happen...and everything was completely wide open. I'm really anticipating how in the hell the Phoenix Suns shit the bed. With Jordan out of the way and Pippen having difficulties as the leader of the Bulls, the Suns had no excuses for not winning it all. Same with the Sonics.
Neither team gets to the finals.
Also looking forward to how the Eastern conference played out. The Hornets and Nets were teams on the rise...what happened? Cleveland too.
This is why the Bulls had a 2nd 3peat when Jordan came back. If you can't step up in his absence....the fuck you gonna do when he's back?

It's just too much. This isn't 1991.
It'd be fun to speculatively put together a setlist that's 1) about an hour shorter and 2) plays to Axl's strengths. Lots of that lower-register stuff and just the absolute essentials (SCOM, Paradise City etc) from the higher register material.
At this late stage of the game, this is all you need....

The main hits, a few smaller hits, a few deep cuts, that you can rotate nightly, New Rose to give Axl a breather, one 'new' song for hardcores, and that's a wrap.
Nothing from CD is needed, only thing from TSI that should be performed are Duff songs, only need 1 or 2 UYI deep cuts, , 2-3 deep cuts from AFD, nothing from Lies but Patience. Ditch all the various covers because they're beyond necessary and only exist to alleviate their own boredom.
The whole thing is beyond stale....waaaay beyond stale. I really don't know how much longer it can go on. I guess they'll keep it going until literally no one is buying tickets.
One more thing...
Atlas is terrible. It's one of those songs that just isn't going to translate into a live setting. Ditch it.

Any of you guys watch the draft?
Biggest story seems to be the Rams picking Ty Simpson with that 13th pick.
Getting a lot of shit for it...most of which I agree with. He does NOTHING for a team in "win NOW" mode.
The other big story seems to be Vrabel doing everything in his power to destroy his career just as it was looking like he was going to be one of the top coaches of the coming decade.
It's amazing how reckless humans can be with their lives.
I stopped watching old NFL games and switched to 1990s NBA...focusing on the Bulls first 3peat. God what a golden age that was. Wow. That 93: Bulls vs Knicks series is probably peak NBA. Better than the finals.

The intro got zero crowd pop. Nobody (generally speaking) cares. The new songs got a better reaction.
It also sounds terrible.
It's time to stop playing 3 hour shows. I know it's part of their "brand" but no one is going to hear all this stuff and the quality of the show suffers.

Did anyone here ever get this?
#9 Re: The Garden » NFL 2025 » 13 weeks ago
That was just awful.
Drake had one of the worst performances in SB history. His crappy stats look better on paper. He literally handed the game to the Seahawks on a silver platter. Not sure if his stats are as bad but I put this on the level of Kerry Collins in SB 35.
Should he have been benched at some point? Would it make a difference?
They didn't belong. Back in the day, this team would've made it to the playoffs, lost the wild card, everyone congratulate them on a good season, and they'd come back the next season and maybe take it up a notch.
In this era, they immediately make it to the SB and get trounced.
Everyone was right ....should've been the Bills year. 
Having said all that, Darnold wasn't all that impressive. Smart (conservative) coaching won this game. They never went for it on 4th in any of those situations...just kept taking the 3....digging a hole that Drake/Vrabel couldn't climb out of.
It was essentially over at 9-0.
#10 Re: The Garden » NFL 2025 » 13 weeks ago
Damn the Patriots offense is trash. 52 yards. It doesn't even seem like that many. Drake's as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
They're damn lucky their defense is keeping them in it because this team is just begging to be blown out.
