Has anybody ever told you that you’re a dick? Because you’re a dick. (Hint: punch up, not down.)

Everybody is SERIOUSLY overrating the degree of difficulty it takes to place your foot below someone who is taking a jump shot. Guess what: you don’t have to look at their feet! At least 80% of the time, they are going to be directly below their shoulder on a jump shot. (Maybe even ~100% of the time.)

Yeah, given the soft shit they call flagrant on a routine basis anyway*, there is zero harm that would come from adding this to the list.

*I just get annoyed when a hard foul, by which I mean a foul designed ONLY the minimize the chances of an old fashioned 3-point-play, is called a flagrant. And annoyed at the time…

Yeah same. I was about to say you’d have to do it intentionally cuz I never did it, but unfortunately, when it comes to closing out three point shooters, I’m about as lazy as they come.

He knew what he was doing! Anybody who would excuse it because it wasn’t consistently called a foul or because the NBA didn’t have an explicit rule against it is a jackass!

Burneko’s idea is great and all but nobody’s gonna wanna punch Pachulia. Fucker looks like his head is made out of a rock.

Fuck Paul Pierce. He gay as fuck.

Yeah and all the Wizards fans were happy at first when they saw Horford clanking the previous shot off the backboard. Go fuck yourself, Bill Simmons.

Yeah, exactly. Something a Celtics fan can say that I can relate to. You cheer for your team no matter how long the odds. OTHER THAN C’s getting blown out late in the year by the Cavs, there was nothing about Boston, Washington, and Cleveland’s play* that suggested a tough series wasn’t plausible and an upset was not…

Good point except that Javale is awesome and would be excellent coming off the bench with Wall and Beal disintegrating the defense and lofting him sweet sweet oops. Plus he could swat IT’s layups back down IT’s throats.

There were a couple times in game 7 where the penguins were zipping around him like he was in mud. I wondered why so maybe this is why.

Barry, you’re not paying attention to simple physics. Think about how hard it is to get knocked over at all. Oubre is a significantly smaller man and would have to drive through him to get him on the ground. What you are arguing is that not only did he not see him coming (unlikely) he also forgot that he could move…

Plus he outweighs Oubre by 40 pounds. Oubre’s hit would have to drive through him to knock him down, but they bounced off each other.

People who actually think that aren’t getting the whole picture. But people who think that’s all that Jezebel is saying, also aren’t getting the whole picture.

All this speaks to the fact that this IS a national problem. It might be more pronounced in certain places like Boston, but it’s fucking everywhere.

Okay yeah, I was trying to think of a single use for these, because the $25 price got the bargain hunter in me revved up. But I couldn’t think of a single use. I already have flipflops. I agreed with you for a second about camping, since flipflops can totally betray you in uneven/dark/wet terrain. However, Tevas would…

Consensus here in the kinja comments (including Celtic fans) seems to be that Olynyk is a bleeding cunt and always has been.

If he was flopping, why would he still be mad when the ref called the foul on Olynyk? That would’ve been mission accomplished. Try again.
