You could posit that, but you’d be wrong.

It all depends on how you define valuable. If it’s overall value, as in skill, then Kawhi is probably the right choice if you’re not going to give it to LeBron. If it’s value to the team though, Russ is the runaway winner (though LeBron has a strong case there as well).

There’s a knee jerk reaction joke here somewhere but I don’t feel like finding it.

Why don’t they do weigh-ins right before the match then? Fighters wouldn’t have time to rehydrate so they can’t cut weight the way they do now, they’d have to fight at their natural weight class. If they still cut super aggressively they’d get punished for it during the fight.

The switch to small ball and spacing has pulled him out of the paint where he’s most effective.

He’s alternated between random tweet storms and the appearance of competency since the election. His policies are equally abhorrent whether he acts sane or not. The only ones who are swayed by this change are the moderate House Republicans who’ve already handed in their backbones. Not sure how the “real fight” has yet…

You can’t try to rationally analyze an irrational actor.

The Challenge is the best because if you’ve won, you’ve won a decent chunk of change AND you’ve probably had sex with caught an STD from at least three different people

It would help if they could actually build a team around him. He’s the perfect piece for a 3 and D team. They can keep Adams as a rim protector and P&R man. The Thunder would be a dynasty if they had went 3 and D with Westbrook/Durant/Ibaka. Instead they got players who could only do one or the other. You mentioned…

In terms of sheer value I don’t understand how you can argue against Westbrook. Without him, the Thunder are in the lottery. Spurs still make the playoffs without Kawhi.

Yeah like that Thunder team that made it to the Finals and that other Thunder team that was one game away from the Finals a season ago. Those teams really sucked didn’t they.

It’s a dog eat dog game. Shitting on each other and claiming to be the best is the whole point. Can it go beyond this? Yes, and it has. Battling is part of the fun though, and will never go away. Some rappers don’t do that, but once you start playing the game you’re in it. Nicki’s made it very clear that she’s in it.…

The thing to remember is that Nicki Minaj owes her career to the type of rap that you don’t listen to. It’s what got her noticed back then and it’s still her ace in the hole now. She’s made a huge transition towards pop, but she only gets away with it because of her reputation as a rapper. She could ignore the diss…

It’s all about the texture. Medium is fine, depending on the cut. Once you go past medium the steak will really dry up and you get grainy shitty steak, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of eating steak. Fatty cuts can take more cooking, but leaner cuts like filet mignon need to be cooked closer to rare.…

I bet you think he should have won for Drive too.

Both were nominated in some of the biggest categories.

He was nominated for Best Director and his film was up for Best Picture. The cast of Moonlight were on the first row wings where the front runners usually are so not sure that they got shafted in any way.

What the hell are you smoking? Gosling was the weaker part of the film. He wasn’t necessarily bad, but Stone carried his ass to the finish line.

You need to see it to get the full scope of the soundtrack. There’s a refrain that pulls the whole film together and it’s beautiful.

The soundtrack wasn’t even jazz so I don’t know what she’s complaining about.
