The damn thing just ended yesterday, and they’ve already got Eddie Redmayne getting his makeup ready for the biopic?

Who’s life has been ruined?

My entire being would end up in the gutter within three weeks of learning I had to pass to Dwight Howard all the time, too.

It’s interesting-ish, but the story is that this isn’t really a story - the nature of the NBA is such that there are very few good players, and a handful of high-expectation, top-10 prospects every year will just be garbage. McLemore shared a top-10 with Zeller, Len, Noel, and Trey Burke. The year before him was…

And Bill Self does? The only Kansas guy who was a rosier prospect after a few months of college ball is Embiid, who was an anomaly for many reasons, and whose “development” in college had nothing to do with Self.

It costs Chicago virtually nothing in FUTURE cap management - it still costs them $20 million this season that could have been better spent elsewhere. If the whole thought is “well, he’ll probably not be good enough to have the option exercised,” then they’d have been better off renting the cap space for a first.

The fact that someone could be so against the LaVine deal but in favor of this one is astounding to me. The fact that it’s only one year if he’s bad in no way justifies spending $20 million on that year - they’d have been better off renting out that cap space for a first like Brooklyn did after clearing Lin.

Jabari Parker is nothing more than the power forward version of Zach LaVine. Of course, Hoiberg has already decided to play him at the three.

I get that it’s the “Wrestlemania” of the indie portion of the weekend, but I really wish Supercard of Honor didn’t go head to head with Takeover. 

When Goldberg founded and ran B-R, it was nothing but poorly-written, unedited listicles commissioned from unpaid high school- and college-aged dudes who thought that it was going to be their ticket to sportswriting fame and fortune, despite not being good enough writers or thinkers to get hired anywhere real.

I probably heard every announcer line from Madden 99-2005 a thousand times each. This is the only one that sticks with me.

The interview was conducted by e-mail.

Live wrestling will always be the best.

Horford did work his ass. Which is why I starred the other top Horford-related comment, that actually was clever about it, and rejected the one that was just whining “Wah Embiid lost one series so he should never be able to trash-talk anyone for anything ever again.”

Yes, the second-year player coming off injury should be very ashamed that he got outplayed by a 5x All-Star and current All-Defense guy. The whole Sixers team should probably never show their faces in public again, right?

He was a hell of a player for a long time, too, but that’s all gonna get forgotten because he’s a tool of a human being, and because the injuries started diminishing him and turned him into a journeyman right at a time when the number of truly relevant teams shrunk rapidly.

Vince found out he was actually 6-foot-9, and realized that shy of seven foot, he COULD teach that to someone else.

I’m assuming you’ve seen the Jannetty/Joey Janela stuff?
