A) Not in the least. Indifferent to it, actually...

B) I read what you wrote. I'm just not convinced. And since the Rockets haven't made the conference semis since 2009 and haven't made the conference finals since 1997, I guess I'm gonna have to be Missouri when it comes to their playoff-friendly style of…

"Houston is built to give San Antonio the most problems."

"Look at the points in the paint disparity between Houston and Portland. You'd think Houston won in 5. But their team defense isn't good enough to make Portland uncomfortable when they're stroking like crazy."

If their team defense isn't good enough to prevent…

Whatever you say, Ned...

Delusional Rockets fan, then... Duly noted.

That and $5 will get you a milkshake if you can speak Italian and live near a Starbucks.

What do regular season records have to do with the postseason in basketball? In the regular season, you play Bottom Feeder F on the road, then you have a day off, then you come home and play Contender C at home, then you play…

I'm gonna ask my first question again. Why are you mad at the Blazers?

Why are you mad at the Blazers? If you really believe the Rockets were good enough to give San Antonio a run, how do you explain their inability to beat Portland?

I don't really care how people dice the numbers... But for the sake of argument, let's take bullshit marriages, celebrity and otherwise, out of the equation, because if some goofballs get drunk in Vegas and tie the knot, I don't care if they're famous or not.

People who marry and get divorced multiple times? Yes. …

I'm curious to know how you think the rest of this story plays out if you'd played your hand differently... The way I read this anecdote, the other option was her breaking up with you immediately and fucking whomever she fucked anyway.

Is it, now...? The divorce rate in this country is what?

What is a hipster?

Those fouls were kinda silly.

The Nets started the season with a brand new coach who just left the league and two starters traded from another team. They were bound to have some growing pains and they were certainly a better team at the end of the season than they were at the beginning, which makes their seeding a bit misleading. They also swept…

Right. Because he doesn't get hit on the arms basically every time he drives to the basket.

Magic is rich and can hang out wherever he likes. That doesn't change the fact that the work of his foundation is, in reality, having a positive impact in his community. And unlike, say, Sterling, he doesn't view "his" community as just "black people." His foundation and his businesses positively impact people of…

Approving it. Cashing the check for it. Liking it. These three things are neither the same nor mutually exclusive. And if you think I'm watching a video related to it, you don't know how well I know my place in the food chain.

No gods should forgive that. Even Buddha should throw blows over anyone liking that obscenity...

Right. Because Mike Krzyzewski doesn't get grilled for sending assistant coaches to do meaningless halftime interviews...

Put a donut and a 30 inch TV running Game of Thrones on a loop in there and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get the bear out of the tube I'm watching TV in...
