Everyone loves to complain about Melo being a ball hog, but it has been legitimately fun to have a star player in New York. Something tells me that there won’t be a long list of high-level talent willing to deal with this asshole. Start the countdown for the inevitable trade that sends Melo to LA for a second round…

Sure, but wouldn’t the fact that his usage is so high be counter to your argument? He’s generating all of the stats for an entire team because he has the ball almost half of their offensive minutes.

I think fiscal responsibility is an issue that many American need help with, but healthcare costs are something different entirely. For one thing, if you’re sick or have even a minor chronic condition, the cost of your healthcare is far greater than just your insurance premium, and especially your phone. The…

That description of Kristof is so spot on. Well done, sir.

Goddam the Warriors get more annoying everyday. Shaq is just messing around. KD and JaVale need to get a grip, they play basketball for a living.

Seems like the Rockets made cap space for a player that doesn’t exist yet...

I would hope that Horford defers to Melo on offense, he is a pass first big man who’s only good in a pick and roll situation. Currently their 4th quarter offense consists 100% of Thomas, so Melo would be the perfect person to take on some of that responsibility. Melo might make their defense a bit worse, but he…

It clearly has not prevented the Celtics from thriving, and they’ll almost certainly hang onto their present spot right behind the Cavs, barring an injury to Thomas or simultaneous injuries to, like, five of his teammates.

I really hope that Westbrook or Harden gets the MVP this year. Their stats are bonkers.

I’m surprised the Sixers can’t move Okafor. He’s a scorer on his rookie contract. There’s got to be at least one team willing to make a bet on him. Hell, the Cavs should take him and picks for that stupid JR contract.

I know a few people that went to St. Bonaventure and as much as I’d like to rub this in their faces, that’s a terrible call by the refs. Game was over after VCU inbounded and took a shot, before the fans stormed the court.

I dunno, I think LeBron’s complaints are valid. Their bench is butt considering they just won a championship. No reason the front office couldn’t have snagged someone like Brandon Jennings who has been a solid backup for the Knicks. Instead they gave a beast of a contract to J.R. Smith who will somehow be making…

This is a popular misconception about the autism spectrum disorders that is perpetuated by movies like Rain Man. However, most people with these disorders actually have intellectual disabilities.

The T is not scheduled to open any time soon. Only the expansion of the Q is opening on December 30th. I don’t think they will be introducing actual T train until after they complete phase 3, which if we are lucky will happen this century.

The Times headline is not that shocking; besides being gifted the 1995 tax returns, they have been fairly soft on Trump from the beginning. The only newspaper giving him honest reporting, which you mention, is the Washington Post. It’s some beautiful bull shit that Buzzfeed thinks they are doing anything meaningful. …

You’d be be surprised at how much development has happened around Nats Park in the 3 years since that Greater Greater Washington article was written. There’s no question that the stadium has been an anchor to the development in that neighborhood. You’re also completely wrong about Southwest DC. While there is a…

Whatchu talkin bout? You could design a study to test how lung function improves in former smokers who switch to vape versus smokers who quit via nicotine patch/gum.

Almost makes me sad that I ate so many of this dude’s cousins this weekend.

Is that reporter part of the Adams clan or is every Kiwi over 6'5"?

This kinda sucks tho
