Re: NBA Basketball 2017/18
Woj Bomb The Clippers and Pistons have agreed on a deal to trade Blake Griffin for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, a first-round and a second-round draft pick, league sources tell ESPN. I actually think this is a good trade for the Clippers. Griffin isn't in his prime any more due to...

Then my recommendation is even stronger. If you go back to not having a single apple thing iphone/ipad etc I will be amazed if you get one. the hardware is fine/whatever.

Re: Jeeves needs (nah, wants) a new tablet
If you don't have an Ipad/Iphone the apps on apple are so far and away better than anything else it's not remotely close. If you already have an Iphone I don't see much need for an Ipad. I like the smaller Ipad pro a lot.

So I don’t watch the NBA but are the Pistons for real or is this smoke and mirrors? Probably somewhere in between. I'd be shocked if they finish as the #2 seed or win ~55 games (their current pace), but they should be a playoff team. They've been helped a lot by Drummond's FT shooting improvement -...
