I’m very much on team “Carmelo Anthony was really fucking good,” so I hear you. The best players he ever played with pre-Houston were old Allen Iverson and Broken Amar’e Stoudemire. Maybe he couldn’t elevate scrubs the way LeBron could (then again he hauled a Denver team to the WCF that had no business getting there,…

These teams need to take a step back and see what they’re missing.

His knees are turning to dust. Passed on 52% of his drives in the lane last season, up 10% or thereabouts. Mid-40s dunk attempts last year when he’s been in the mid-70s for half a decade. He can’t get where he wants to go in the half-court anymore. His jump shot, as bad as it is, increased last season because it was…

And, much like Melo, people will use the old and broken down version to argue that he was never good.

2 guys watching 1 guy dribble. Sounds like exciting basketball.

Westbrook was better than Melo ever was, but nonetheless, I feel like his career’s going to wind down in almost exactly the same fashion. He’ll be a wildly overpriced albatross for a couple of years, and then he’ll be the veteran that someone signs because maybe he’s still got some life in him, but instead his…

This is all fascinating to me. And I truly hope to see the Rockets find a way to land him, if only for the pure insanity of watching Harden, Westbrook, and Paul play and interact together.

Why wouldn’t teams want to take a low-percentage shot and a low-percentage shot and a low-percentage shot and a low-percentage shot and a low-percentage shot with Westbrook?

NBA officials initially believed that the falling bricks were seismic in origin, but corrected themselves and were able to shut RJ Barrett down before any further injury to the spectators.

The tweet says the suspension is unpaid.  I think paid suspensions are only for cops who shake down or shoot innocent people

Maybe it’s just because I’m a semi-casual sports fan, but I have no idea what the argument against VAR is supposed to be. I read their other linked article and I’m not any clearer.

It doesn’t ignore the main issue. It points out the utter hypocrisy of their viewpoint. If they love the flag so much, then they should be upset the shoes existed in the first place, not that Nike is recalling the sneakers for a very good non-Flag code reason. By not operating under that logic, they show the entirety…

This is why some design-savvy rednecks took out all the color and added a blue line and provided us with a new symbol for modern racism! 

Call me crazy, but I think there may be room for a middle ground between “VAR is excellent and nobody can have any complaints about it whatsoever” and “VAR is awful and evil and terrible.” And I think the vast majority of people who are saying “VAR is a sin against God and nature” are really saying “VAR shows promise…

I’m not sure if this is directed at me or not, but my point, if it wasn’t clear, is that flag-humpers suggesting Nike boycotts because of pulling this sneaker are the real idiots, because there are THREE SECTIONS of the Flag Code that prohibit what Nike has done by putting it on shoes.

My balls dropped the first time I heard an Orc say “Zug zug.”

Yeah, Blizzard used to be all about that mature Art, none of this PG-13 blockbuster edginess! I remember when I first started up Warcraft: Orcs & Humans - it was so Mature my beard grew an inch. And I hadn’t even hit puberty yet!

This. It’s their prerogative if they want to make tweaks, but bullshitting us about it is where they take the piss.

I want to stress in all caps, "A DEVELOPER'S DECISION TO CHANGE ASSETS OF ITS OWN PRODUCT IS NOT CENSORSHIP!" People are so fucking stupid. 

I honestly don’t understand why they are not just more straight forward about it. “We wanted to make it more family friendly, please stop whining. ” They honestly would’ve gained some respect from me.

Hell in today’s climate I would’ve even accepted: “We have developers to feed, that gets harder to do if our game is…
