Not sure what warranted the baseless attack on JJ Redick, who has developed himself into one of the NBA's most efficient complementary scorers. (He was one of the two or three bright spots on the post-Howard Magic, though his loss would sting more if Afflalo didn't have an equally strong season this year.)

I'll take Parker, thanks. Wiggins may work out after all, but he still needs to explain a little more clearly how he's not Rudy Gay.

In a shocking development, a team with a great point guard who finds the open man has a better offense than a team with a PG who withholds the ball from a couple of the league's most efficient players to take his own league-average shots.

Really? DeMar DeRozan is more fun to watch than ANYTHING now? DeRozan is the last vestige of the bad old days of 10-15 years ago, when it didn't matter how many points you got per possession, it just mattered that you got enough possessions to get your points. (Or he will be when Carmelo Anthony finally runs out of

I was just thinking: should we call it a comeback? I mean, it's not like this show has been here for any length of time.

To me, that's more realistic than having a "consistent" character. Nobody's consistent in real life, right? We all have really good ideas on occasion, but then sometimes do things that we look back on and say, "What WAS that?"

I liked "Hello Ladies" okay… certainly a lot more than "The Comeback." (Or the last couple Ricky Gervais series… though that's just piling on.)

You mean Anthony Michael C. Hall? Because this other guy… never heard of him.

You saw how well that worked out for Sufjan Stevens.

I like Andy Daly a lot. He's one of my fasvorite comedians. But god, "Review" is not at all good. Mean-spirited in a way that doesn't even seem intentional, and the jokes all go to exactly the place you'd expect.

They did — kind of. I can't tell you WHICH 8-9 tracks were on the album, but they're all on the compilation.

I'd rather watch "Brad Johnson," a movie about a penis that comes to life and leads the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl.

In my experience, no. I'm sure this has happened for some people, though.

"Emotional issues," maybe not. Being able to relax and participate in social events, sure. Not that it solves the problem, but it gets you into the party or whatever so you can work on the rest of it from there.

Don't be fooled by imitation Janelles. You got the fake Roxanne in the '80s, and you don't want to repeat that fiasco.

Ah, all those Abominable ones. How did I forget those? I know people on those.

Why is this reminding me of the time I got my bike stolen while watching "North?" I was 13 years old! I should have known not to watch "North" and/or to lock up my bike!

Ugh. Most depressing game ever. (Not Candy Crush Saga, which is only depressing in principle.)

1988's "Orange Crush." This Vietnam War-themed NES game was notable for featuring the digitized voice of Michael Stipe.

Oh, great. Now we have ersatz Ryan Murphy. Wasn't the real thing enough?
