At this point, since it seems like they wouldn’t be able to finish anyway, I’d prefer them to be swept by an 8 seed than to be destroyed by Houston. Plus, it’d bring some variety to the conference championship (provided that the Spurs don’t make it, of course)

I’ve yet to watch the video, but it doesn’t sound like any tables were smashed during this, so I doubt his commitment to the team. Though he *is* prepared to have his ass eaten in the parking lot...

Seriously, it’s a pain to watch him and Paul get rewarded for gaming the system. I mean, I guess congrats to them if it wins them a championship before the NBA eventually cuts down on it. They are like the 2013 Seahawks, and are going to exploit it so much it causes a rule change.

It is a good one, but not the best. The best is the term for a group of Ravens. An unkindness of ravens.

While this take and your subsequent defense of this take are all a very elaborate dance to get around the obvious answer of “maybe we shouldn’t sell assault rifles,” likely because you enjoy such things, I have a larger issue here:

Well, I can’t answer for the creatures, but the cherry blossoms in Tom McCall Park and the dragon boat race are all real.

On one hand, this seems a little forced, and I thought I would roll my eyes at some point. But I didn’t! This is delightful! Props to them.

While I was reading this whole thread, I wondered when somebody would get it. He revealed himself too early with the Pantera bit. Bravo, sir.

I think this is all on NBC. They have very few sporting events, and will go through ridiculous amounts of work to make sure us viewers associate the games with them and them alone. So, lacking longterm stars because of the sporadic nature of the games, they forge these stupid fucking narratives. Unlike regularly…

Worse shape than he found it? They’ve been to the finals 3 times in a row and finally won one. They suck now, but let’s be realistic here.

It’s always fun to see somebody really feeling it and have one of these games. He’s still in the game at the moment, just coming in to the 4th. Career high 48 points... on the 2nd of a back to back!

Yeah, that’s #2 for me. Both are phenomenal albums, but Ziggy is probably more cohesive.

Best Bowie album? I think so.

Alright, by Superfly. Ignore the video (which is really crappy for an official upload...)

Why thank you.

What about the Baltimore Blue Lives Matter? Or the Phoenix Fake News?

Nobody is going to read this anyway, but here I go: I was in Japan for the entirety of the last NFL season (and some), which meant I was in a time zone that was radically different from the NFL, so I only got to watch the night games (Monday, Sunday, and Thursday) - which almost always suck. This means I didn’t watch…

That, and the between the legs pass really made for a fun game. Great night if basketball, with back to back comebacks!

Ding ding ding!! We have a winner. That’s where I’m at. I can’t stand listening to the guy, but GodDAMN is he good. It really has little to do with race, I think. He’s just so phony.

Oh god yes. The worst is being taxied around the tarmac. Blegh
