I'm on-board through next All-Star break. He won't have Parker until next season and he'll be running a slimmed-down version of the offense for the remainder of this one. The big things for the current campaign will be playing defense, getting out in transition, and finding guys as they come open, which they do often…

Which I'm going to choose to hope has a lot to do with not having very good teammates and often finding himself in less-than-ideal situations. And anyway, he can't be any worse than Brandon Jennings was two or three years ago.

Tony Wroten wasn't drafted by the Sixers.

This is one of those situations where you're happy your team has a buttload of cap space saved up, even if there's no chance they'll use it in this instance.

John Wall asking to be on those State Farm commercials is pretty great, too. He was like a shark all weekend, cruising around and taking every opportunity to let everyone know he's ready to get huge.

Excellent read on that one.

A thousand times yes on Dakota Johnson.

Seriously, though: the fuck's this guy's problem?

Nah, I agree with you one hundred percent.

Just last night, I'm sitting with my pregnant wife at a stoplight on our way to a Milwaukee Bucks game. We're at a light maybe two blocks from the stadium, first in line. I ask her to hand me twenty bucks for when we get to the parking lot. She hands it to me, and upon receipt I just accelerate into the intersection.…

That's it, it's over. Everybody go home for the day.

That's today's best picture, by far.

Chris Paul's been one of the bigger bitches in the league for a while. As his skills leveled off and the Clippers haven't quite come into their own, he's not handled it well. If they don't go deep in the next couple years, and there's plenty of time but the clock's ticking, it's going to get ugly.

Yeah, seriously, though, don't fuck with those guys. Especially if it's a really shitty snow storm.

Who's got the bad faith? They never made any bones about not trying to be a great team this year and playing young players, and as a result they've been cycling through rookies and journeymen in the hopes of hitting on a few that might keepers, which it appears they might be finding as they begin to win some games…

It's pretty empty once you get north of Madison. If he doesn't want to be found, he won't be. Hope he's cool with ticks and wolves, though.

You ever been at a party just trying to be you, thinking you're being all chill and reasonable, and caught yourself being the dude pretending to know everything? THE HORROR. Happened to me this past weekend, and I wanted to jump off a building into a deep, dark ocean, so that just in case the fall didn't kill me, the…

Oh, my. I've never seen this before, and it is magical.

Masterful.

Nah, he runs that team. Watch closely next time how he slithers into the lane, how he breaks dude's ankles, and overall just the total confidence he has in what he does. He's not a crazy athlete and he doesn't dunk on people, but he's an electrifying performer when the machine is humming. He routinely makes pros look…
