        pretty much. -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 09:52
      - Right, tennis is a sports that favors statistical analysis on the fly. The best players are brilliant and instinctive mathematicians. - David Jun 2, 09:50

        I liked Octonauts most, and never really hated anything Nathan watched except PJ Masks. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:19 2

        I love good philosophical debates (big shocker, I know) and I wish people were more open to them. It's not about proving anything. It's about testing. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 2, 10:02 1

- Yes, but let's remember that they went up 2-0 last year while winning by 15 and 33. - David Jun 2, 09:23
- I bet on a sweep for the value, but I won't believe that it's possible until they win Game 3. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 2, 09:22 4
  - How much will it diminish your belief if they don't win Game 3? -- nm - zork Jun 2, 09:28 3
