Sure, but that’s usually when the best player on the best season is putting up MVP numbers. Look at the WS/48 of MVP winners since 2009. Rose as the lowest at .208, and Westbrook was the next lowest .224. The next lowest over that span? Curry in 2015 with .288. Rose is the weakest MVP of the last decade and one of the…

MVP isn’t a “best player on the best team” award. Otherwise, Curry wouldn’t have been sixth and Durant wouldn’t have been ninth last season.

Allan Houston: *ears perk up*

He was never as good as many would have you believe. He had one great skill (his ability to drive to the basket) and one amazing skill (his ability to contort himself midair as he attempted a driving layup). But he was always an awful shooter and defender, even when he had his knees. He had no particular skill at…

Then I apologize for lecturing you. That’s a perfectly fine argument.

The point was getting those picks, though. Any GM can make a mistake in drafting someone bad/look smart for drafting someone good. The whole point of “The Process” was to maximize your chances at getting it right by adding as many top level picks. So, some of them are gonna work out (like Simmons), some are gonna be…

Sure as hell would rather be the Sixers for the next five years than 20-25 teams in the league.

You don’t have to be a neo-Nazi to appreciate a lame AIDS joke.

Every one of those points is a good take. Thank you.

“Everybody knows Pederson isn’t a head coach. He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I’ve ever seen,” Lombardi continued. “When will the Eagles admit their mistake? Will they throw away 2017 by stubbornly sticking to the Pederson Principle?”

That’s not an unreasonable take. +1

SHHHHHHHHH

I don’t presume to know what will or won’t help them, and it would be dumb to suggest that people should do this sort of thing with the idea of trying to help the victims, but I also don’t think it’s out of the question to say that maybe there’s some consolation for these women that someone finally tried to do…

Whatever it is that awaits him, I hope it never lets him take the easy way out. I hope he reaches 100, and suffers every day along the way.

They were smiling out of fear, emotion and discomfort. I know I do this, and I don’t think it’s an entirely unheard of reaction. It’s a way of coping with an overload of emotion. I don’t know if it’s subconsciously connected to a need to try to view serious things as jokes in order to ignore the reprecussions of their…

Tom Izzo: I don’t have a comment on this one either, by the way.

Does a bear shit in the woods?

He’s absolutely a jackass. But he was at least a mostly entertaining and unique jackass. The morons they replaced him with have disappointed beyond anything I thought possible. The three person show was a bad idea to begin with, and they definitely did choose the right people to accomplish it. Allegedly, they offered…

The entire industry is modeled on artificial conflict and outrage to get listeners.

Bradley is a pretty good player. He can absolutely serve as a role player on a contender. In the NBA, there is always a need for a perimeter D/Corner 3 guy. I think you’re way off base on him. He’s far from a star player, but I would take him on my team any day.
