    Lakers News

    not really comparable.  LAC has practically no cap space to offer FA, so its understandably hard to attract one.  Lakers has tons of cap space but can only attract second tier talents.

    Lakers News

    But looks like Celtics disagree with you.  Not sure though why they don't just give the "Godfather" offer to the Lakers to get Okafor ... I guess just old time rivalries :) Update, 12:57 p.m. ? Celtics ready ?Godfather? offer to get Okafor Jahlil Okafor is apparently someone the Celtics have a...

    Lakers News

    Partly true but also partly because current big doesn't really have good post-up move that can consistently punish opponent if they play small ball.  If Shaq or Olajuwon at their prime would be playing today, I doubt GS can win with just putting Draymond Green to cover them.

    Lakers News

    I think the reason teams go for big is because there are few quality big men.  If you look at current NBA rosters, the big men skill level significantly drop once you counted the few quality big.  On the other hand, for wing player, even if you miss the top players, there are still a lot of...

    It can really go either way: 2006: 1 - Bargnani, 2 - Aldridge, 3- Morrison,  #2 is a superstar, #1 and #3 are bust But 2009:  1- Blake, 2- Thabeet, 3 - Harden

    Greek Crisis

    Sooner or later, Greece has to exit the euro to get a chance to start their economy over.  The farther they kick the can down the road, the harder it is for them to recover.

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    If you use the giftcard on target.com (online or store pickup), you still get the 5% redcard discount, but not used in-store.

    Last Week of School

    It's called Find My Friends (at least in iOS).  It's actually very useful for common everyday use just to know where one is like if one is late or running errands (rather than having to call).

    Dow?

    hmm.. seems like a good bet since VIX hasn't touched $30+ since 2011 or so .. how much "reserve" does the brokerage require you to have since technically your potential loss is unlimited ?

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    I think another issue is the cemetery's close proximity to the new High School.. now you are basically affecting all communities that are slated to Portola High.  I would guess people who believe on these things would also not want to their kids spending most of their days in close proximity to...

    NBA 2014-2015

    For someone who can decently shoot the 3s .. its somewhat perplexing to be such a bad free throw shooter.  I would  understand DeAndre or Dwight because its probably somewhat hard to change their shooting forms to be consistent shooter, but Iggy should have a good shooting form if he can shoot...

    Lafayettein Stonegate by Richmond??

    Stonegate have four entrance/exit.  You can still use the other exits and avoid the Portola Pkwy exit if the trucks going up and down that area bothers you.  On the other hand, Orchard Hill only have two  extrance/exit (Culver and Orchard Hills).  Those  intersections would probably get busier...

    NBA 2014-2015

    Still can't understand why LBJ settled for the jump shot in the last seconds of the regulation.  Granted the defense was good, scored is tied (so little risk) and he could have tried to drive strong to basket  with a much better chances of getting fouled or the GS defense crowding on him to drop...

    Internet Camera

    thanks.  the tandem to ignore leaves blowing is a good idea so that it does record unnecessary movements.  My current setup right now is it saves to an SD card and a NAS drive, so I don't really have issue with storage space, but if I move to Arlo, space would become an issue as I only have 1 GB...

    Broadcom sale.

    True, but Singapore have very lax working visa requirement for foreigners (compared to the US), thus have a large pool of potential talents from neighboring Asian country at much cheaper salary expectations (these workers won't really mind the high cost of living as it would still be better...
