He put up some excellent numbers at UCLA. Vision at his size and even his shooting was even better than I thought.

When you’re old as hell, you gotta pick your spots.

As the other commenter said, Embid and Simmons have really not proved anything at all, neither has been on the court enough to help. The Celtics have also done a better job at evaluating talent and turning their roster around in short order. The Sixers have made a series of questionable draft picks and no free agent…

No worries. Yeah, that seems to be the thing these days. The new racism is pretending racism doesn’t exist or pretending you’re not a racist. It shifts the onus of responsibility onto others to substantiate the many ways one is demonstrating racist behavior. And all they have to do is casually dismiss you with a waive…

Yeah, Sixers fans shouldn’t say a word about a number one seed that lost its home games by an average of 30 points in the ECF and had to be saved by Kelly fucking Olynyk to get the pleasure of slaughter by the Cavs.

I find it interesting that, for all the talk about both Warriors and Cavaliers being “super teams,” each team only has 1 big free agent signing. The rest of the stars were all obtained through draft (Kyrie, Curry, Klay/Tristan Thompson, Draymond) or fair-value trades (unhappy Kevin Love for drafted Andrew Wiggins).

This is what white people do, everyday in large and small ways to PoC. They antagonize and antagonize and antagonize you, it gives them a sense of false worth to feel better than. It’s their whole persona, being “better than”. “I may be poor, but at least I ain’t a nigger!” White people are fully aware of the…

Exactly. Trump isn’t one for the long play. If he has dirt, he airs that shit out immediately. If he taped Comey and caught a disrepancy between what Comey said and what was recorded, he’d have tweeted that out immediately.

Am I the only one who read Trump’s Comey/taping tweet differently? I don’t think he was implying he recorded Comey. Trump is such a dunder and is so terrible at communicating that I think he was saying: YOU [Comey/FBI] better not have taped ME, or else you’ll be in trouble!”

And that right there is the fucking problem. In order for your career to be ruined you literally have to rape 50 women. One or two? Who cares!

I think it has more to do with the specific people involved. And the actions of those people.

Totes agree...the dude is horrid but he ain’t getting Ben Roethlisberger or Woody Allen love.

Not sure what you’re getting at. Fox has defended Cosby, presumably under the auspices of “one of the good ones.”

Can you be more specific? Your point is not terribly clear.

You know Philly exists, right?

“NCAA BB is better. They focus on the fundamentals, not this flashy showmanship bullshit.”

Hostile? I’ll give you hostile.

Eh... this reeks of fan entitlement. Why do fans have a right to heckle but athletes have no right to respond? Because the fan paid? The kind of fans screaming and heckling players to the point that the players respond like this are the kind that ruin the experience for everyone else.

You’re getting paid millions of dollars a year to play a game.

But the thing is, maybe they DON’T think they’re that inventive/clever/original. Maybe they’re cognizant that they’re students of whatever they’re into lately and they’re just exploring it publicly. “they think they are...” is really not anything we can actually know.
