Your friends are bad! I have found that adjusting the rear derailleur is usually pretty easy. You want to set the limit screws so that you can’t go past either the biggest or smallest cog, and that should do it. For the front, the cage should be just above the large cog, and the high limit screw should be set so that…

The front derailleur is my nemesis. My solution is to only ride on the large front gear.

As “that friend,” I endorse this solution.

One thing that many bike owners tend to slack off on is maintenance. It’s actually not that hard to learn the basics of bike maintenance, and doing so will save you lots of money in the future. There are any number of good Youtube videos that will teach you about how your bike works, but there’s no substitute for…

JaVale is cool and good and I’m glad he got a ring.

The draft is actually bad, thanks for agreeing.

“i am not entertained therefore workers should lose the right to influence the conditions of their work”

It’s not just that (although it’s that too). It’s that he went from an offense that relied on either him or Westbrook to manufacture something out of nothing on every possession to one that structures the offense around the production of good shots. Look how many shots he took in the flow of the game versus iso; when…

SAY NO MORE!

big if true

oh my god that “defense”

We finally got to see a version of Kevin Durant that isn’t shackled to either Westbrook’s ball-dominance or to the “offenses” designed by Billy Donovan and Scott Brooks. And if that version of KD was really, really good, this version is superlative.

I have it on good authority that none of those teams ever existed because the league would have folded from the boredom of seeing the same teams slug it out in the finals. The NBA of the 1990s belongs to the New Chronology.

Indeed; this team only exists because of a very unusual confluence of events. If you want to remove the salary cap, there are good arguments for that, but this Warriors team is not it because the circumstances that led to its formation will very likely align again.

Sorry, the Deadspin party line here is that good teams are boring and definitely no one has ever threepeated or won six titles in eight years because no way would anyone watch basketball after that.

Sure, let’s have a massive over-reaction and limit player freedom in response to a rare event that will almost certainly never happen again. It’s definitely bullshit when workers leverage their power to improve their working conditions, so we should just probably do away with free agency altogether.

I heard there was a time when a single team won six titles in eight years, but I know that can’t possibly be true because this column tells me that the league would have folded because no one would want to watch such boring seasons. I guess it’s cool when Jordan or the Lakers threepeat, but when a contemporary team…

The entire point of sports, and the main reason it’s any fun, is to see what happens.

Burn down the NCAA and salt the remains.

I feel like you’re in the position of a climate scientist telling people that shit will get bad soon, but no one wants to listen because carbon mitigation will cost money now and you can’t literally see ocean acidification happening in front of your eyes. We’re a stupid, shortsighted species.
