Not exactly. Seven of Houston’s top nine three-point shooters by volume have higher averages than OKC’s team average, whereas the only thing keeping OKC’s average “up” is its top four shooters by percentage: George, Grant, Morris, and Ferguson, who account for about 55 percent of their attempts, but they still don’t…

Jesus, that’s grim.

Here’s a thing I genuinely do not understand about this team, unless it’s simply a jarring lack of self-awareness: Since Kevin Durant left town, they’ve shot 34 percent from three. In Durant’s last season, they took 23 of them a game. That’s not a ton by NBA standards and it was a little below the halfway mark in the…

Or as I call it, “serving.”

Esoteric Jeff is not entirely wrong. The Founders were definitely uneasy about handing votes to the public. In fact, they didn’t. The public didn’t vote for president until 1824. They just voted for their legislators until then, and the legislators appointed electors. Of course, in three elections, there was just one…

You didn’t say anything to me about the Virginia Tech women’s lacrosse team. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

“You are wasting typing on politics and religion,” says the guy who wrote nearly 300 words in response to me.

Because they will have wasted their lives on a fairy tale. 

We’ll win in the end, when they just die and don’t go anywhere. 

That’s right: It’s either all or it’s nothing. If it’s all, then find a way to review every play independent of the flow of the game. Replay officials have until the next snap to review whatever, and if the other team goes to the quick snap, so be it. But the only way to do it is if it comes from upstairs or the…

...says the father of the Manchurian Press Secretary.

Winning MVP and ROY (and the batting title and the stolen base title) in his first season seems like it will never happen again. I remember watching the all-star game that year and he ran out a single against Randy Johnson — on the first Unit pitch he ever saw —and thought, “Man, I don’t think you’re supposed to be…

Easiest way to do that is to just not give any money to the assholes at all.

Do all black people over the age of 18 get reparations? What about the ones whose ancestry does not have the stain of North American or European slavery on it? What about the ones who have plenty of money? Do they all get equal amounts, or would it be better if LeBron James didn’t get anything out of this so others…

...absolutely none of that is going to happen.

I’ll take it. Thanks for remembering!

You make a really good argument. On the other hand, schadenfreude. 

“I can make it bigger. But only for, like, 15 seconds.”

Granted, it’s just a gesture, but if Roshaun wants to get back at the white guys, he could start making a bunch of Tilda Swinton noises.
