I’m definitely on that, but I’d also like to throw my meaningless support behind whatever the fuck it is that Shea Serrano does. He’s churning out Onion-level Bill Simmons/Buzzfeed parody and interesting personal basketball essays. He’s doing what Ryan and Sharp ought to aspire to do.

I’m bummed about the firing (because he was taking ESPN’s money and turning it into Wesley Morris articles, 30 for 30s, and Zach Lowe podcasts, and I’d read a 100,000 word Simmons meander-piece a week to keep those three things coming) but when are they going to yank his name and face off the site? It’s fucking weird…

And how do they smell?

I... that’s not really right. The Rockets had a small lead late in the second. The Clippers just ran away (it looked like, anywho) in the third.

Michael Jordan’s sure glad he made a wager on “Money Team douche to punch woman” before the game.

Goddammit, why won’t Barack Obummer start this fucking covert war on Texas already?

I don’t hate kickstarter, and this is mean, and these devs didn’t do anything to deserve this, but this is the flipside of the “Oh, shoot, we need 300k more to actually make the game” shit that projects on kickstarter*cough* Doublefine *cough* do all the time.

Even Melo?

It’s not that absurd; it’s basically a 4-1 zone, but with the 4 guys playing man instead of just guarding their spot around the perimeter. It’s definitely unusual, but it’s not way out there.

That’s the thing. Unless he’s getting two steps to gather, he’s terrible even around the rim. I love his game (when he’s not playing the Warriors), but he’s ugly with the ball, even right at the basket.

That was 4 quarters of crap officiating.

Shades of Ai Weiwei’s hurrible piece at his otherwise interesting Alcatraz show.

This GTA secrets crap is illuminating. This is exactly the kind of thought process that leads people to believe in chemtrails, morgellons, and Obama’s a Muslim.

Yoko didn’t sully John’s legacy, but she (and he) were shitty people, and there’s no reason to toss in that little implicit defense of her here.

I was surprised to hear this, but, outside of Butler, the main Bulls are playing fewer minutes than they ever have under Thibodeau. Gasol’s playing 35, which is high, but other than that, the minutes seem pretty reasonable. They’re a little more excessive in the playoffs so far, (Butler’s up around 40, Rose is at 37,…

If the primary thing people were upset by was the fact that the cartoons are intended to offend, that’d be a reasonable point. But some people are clearly more upset by the violation of their religious strictures than by the intent of the asshole cartoonists, even though they don’t get upset about non-believers…

It’s imperial bullshit that people are offended by it. All sorts of religious folk would have issues with the way many women dress, but it’s obviously wrong to tell women to ‘just cover up so as not to offend’. It’d be like Orthodox Jews getting pissed that I drive my car around on Sabbath, or Catholics getting aggro…

That’s the real question. Davis was the best player this season, hands down. But can you call a guy ‘most valuable’ if his team barely broke .500? At some point, you have to factor in the team’s success, even though it doesn’t necessarily measure the skills of the player in question.

Because 30 points on 30 shots and 10 freethrows is bad.

Fire.
