I forgot to tell you guys about the stupidest thing at the Q if you haven't been there before. On the scoreboard, it would say Cleveland on one side and Chicago on the other. But get this- in the middle, it would say The Diff. So let's say Cleveland had 58 points and Chicago had 44 points, under The Diff, it would say +14. I
kid you not. Stupidest thing I've seen in any arena.

Oh and speaking of stupid, when I went to Phoenix, I wore a Blazers t-shirt. At the concession stand, one worker said to another "is that who we're playing tonight?". I kid you not.
 
I can imagine concession stand workers not giving a flying duck about who the team is playing. It's probably just a job to them.
 
Since this thread isn't related to anything, I thought I'd throw in that Al Horford looks like Grant Hill.
 
The letter 'Q' is part of the word Q-tip ... crazy I know.

This thread is now a look-a-like thread

That's pretty cool. Like "scoring differential"...kindof a unique way for a venue to display the score. I like it.
 
How about Diff EQ? I fucking hated differential equations when I took that class, I felt like my ears were going to start bleeding.

I use the generic store brand of Q-tips. They are called "double tipped cotton swabs". I kid you not.
 
I went to popeyes today and ordered chicken strips, they gave me a leg, thigh and wing instead. Stupidest thing I've seen in any fast food joint.

I thought it was fun, until I got bored of it...like a month in. Then it was just tedious.

I haven't done diffEqs in a few years but,

2 is y-y*x^2= (1/3)x^3-(1/2)x^2
3 is y-xsin(y) = -(1/2)X^2
4 is y=yx^2
 
Snoop D oh double G always reminds me of Clyde Drex looks wise.
 
I saw Flava' Flav at PDX this morning!

It just seems weird for the Q to do basic math for the fans. I mean it will literally say:

Cavs.......The Diff......Celtics
100............ -2...........102


Is "The Diff" really necessary?

Not necessary, just a stylistic choice.

What would be cooler is if they did away with the score and just had the "diff."

Cavs......-2......Celtics

That would be unlike any other stadium.

No, it isn't necessary. The cool kids are picking on an easy target to feel better about themselves. That is this thread.
 
So how much of a nightmare is the announcers job for the Suns/Spurs series

Richard Jefferson and Jason Richardson

George Hill and Grant Hill

...confuse the hell out of you....Ive already heard them screw up all those guys several times :lol:

Lamar Odom, Greg Oden
 
Josh Smith and Joe Smith on the same team.

And don't confuse Atlanta's Jason Collins with Phoenix's Jarron Collins.
