That’s what some people are suggesting. It’s crazy. GSW before KD got lucky in Round 1 against Cleveland (injuries to both Love and Kyrie), then choked in Round 2 against them (thanks in large part to Draymond’s buffoonery). If not for KD I don’t see them winning the Finals in 2017/18 no matter how good Draymond plays.

Absolutely right! The Kerr era Warriors have been fantastic to watch, but pre-KD they simply were not even in the conversation for best ever despite the 73 win season. Quick recap: The Dubs beat the Cavaliers in 2015 thanks in large part to Kyrie and Kevin’s injuries, and got embarrassed in 2016 to a full-strength…

It’s always been this way, but I agree with your overall sentiments.  In the current structure, there’s no realistic way to achieve greater parity and thus a more compelling league-wide product.

Not to get too far down the rabbit hole playing what-if with questions you probably can’t answer, but would wearing thermal goggles allow sight without being affected by The Problem?

Starred. 3 year old bitemekinja, Jr. was the most enjoyable, innocent, wonderful, adorable creature to ever have walked the earth.

This Integra is as ridiculously glorious as its price is ridiculously stupid. CP.

I’m with you. The Explorer’s initial merge, while not the best idea, wasat least signaled and is the sort of merge the Rogue has to anticipate in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic. If everybody reacted the way the Rogue did when that happens, there’d be murders every rush hour in every city across America.

Are there any iPhone 6 users in the crowd? I’m still rocking iOS 8.something because I’ve really never felt the need to upgrade, but the integration of Google Maps into Carplay has me tempted.

I am most impressed by the fact that those French divers in the second vid are able to swim, seeing as how they are surely weighed down by their massive testicles.

94 miles and it’s not even in mint condition: look at that godawful sagging headliner.

Rodgers has a Super Bowl ring, but that was definitely in spite of McCarthy rather than thanks to him. Rodgers is universally lauded as one of the GOATs, and talent-wise is better than anyone who has an argument to be in front of him on that short list.

It’s really painful reading the other greys moutbreathing their way to nuggets of wisdom like “Climate change is a natural process, there’s nothing to prove humans are causing it” as if man’s part in this hasn’t been proven by actual scientists so many times over that I won’t bother counting.

Musk is becoming a tiresome caricature of a guy who is always trying too hard to impress everybody. Set aside the fact that Tesla should have both the knowledge and purchasing power to arrange freight of their vehicles well in advance. When his response to these shipping problems is, “We’ll just build our own freight…

Was going to post Tywin’s sage advice myself, but will star this for beating me to the punch.  Well done.

So the catcher stands on the basepath, gets pushed out of the way, and the baserunner is ejected? Then the pitcher throws at the next guy up?

Trump’s a dumbass clown who clearly doesn’t understand that tariffs will neither help American consumers nor benefit American industry. The Focus Active is a perfect example of the dotard’s limitations.

That wink was fantastic.  Cool as the other side of the pillow.

The E39 M5 is the sort of car that in 20 years you’ll wish you’d bought today. Numerous examples with under 50k-ish miles are trading around the $50,000 mark. Long-term that latter number will only get bigger, with perhaps a slight softening in the coming few years (thanks to an inevitable, looming bear market)…

For those of you who are fascinated by undersea exploration and have a halfway decent PC, pick up a game called Subnautica. It’s a really neat first-person undersea exploration/survival game comprising equal parts wonder, mystery, and brown alerts.

I agree with this take: while I like Bel Airs, there is nothing intrinsically important or interesting about them to merit their status as some sort of golden calf. It’s just rose-tinted nostalgia, for better and worse.
