Then it should be just fine, unless he tries to fill it with pasta.

Why do I like this comment? I've been told I have a child-like sense of humor. I've also been told I'm an idiot. It's probably one of those.

Receiving a solid gold hat is normally an impermissible benefit...but not if it was a gift from someone who truly loves him.

They're really banging down low.

Yeah, he is startlingly good! I'm actually most excited in a nerdy way about his freethrow-shooting (~79%). Bigs with his kind of numbers (blocks/rebounds/points) who can also hit their freethrows are once-a-generation players, if that. Maybe if Sterling's wife keeps the Clippers, Chris Paul will be mad enough come…

Hm. I'd honestly be more afraid of Chris Paul than Blake Griffin, so maybe it's discretion being the better part of valor?

Hah, its funny you mention cherry-picking, because I am a plant-insect ecologist and the botanical definition of "perennial" definitely skews my opinion of the correct definition. I've been following the Hornets/Pelicans since 2007 (the team & CP3's best season here), so I am very familiar with the Spurs…

Don't let it make you sad! Those tricksy Clippers picked up a championship-caliber coach, and ended up with the third best record in the NBA this season, behind the team they're facing now, and behind the truly perennially under-appreciated Spurs. That'll probably be how they fool all the pundits into putting them…

Does he have Alzheimer's now?

Don't see how, everyone knows he's a "big flopper."

I see your point, but without more data points I'm not comfortable with anything higher than triennial. Your WC Champions-or-garbage dichotomy may also be a bit of an oversimplification.

This menace must be stopped. Next thing you know they'll be spraying people just for shitting in urinals!

I was just talking to a friend going through a similar issue: he quit and started a new firm, and his old boss is cease-and-desisting him about referring to the projects that he did for the old firm on his new website. Even though those projects are proudly displayed (crediting my friend) on the old firm's site. …

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I was posting on behalf of the South. I have lots of black friends who look white.

Well now I feel like the dumb one. I'd be grateful if you could imagine me walking away to the sad Charlie Brown music.

Usually I can at least see the kernel of (annoying, trite) truth in the clickbait argument, but I'm genuinely stumped on this one. I'm pulling for the Clippers so hard, and am generally a Blake-liker, but in this case the title is literally, exactly true.

Hopefully they'll address this in the offseason. I think I read recently that they are going to discuss expanding the types of calls that can be changed on review - in response to the numerous cases where they go to review an out-of-bounds call or whatever, and see that they blatantly got a foul call wrong but are…

The South here. You're right, he doesn't count. But, he is one of the good ones.

It made me sad when Gilbert Arenas got super hurt, banned for a year, and stopped being amazing at basketball, because he is actually hilarious. The trashcan sex tape made me spit my coffee. He was just as hilarious and gave just as little of a fuck even while he was at his peak...which maybe has something to do…
