JJ signed a one-year deal because they had a bunch of cap space to overpay him, they aren’t attracting people who want to stay and win there. And tanking is entertaining, but if the Sixers suck for too much longer, that will probably drop.

Pump the brakes there, sport.

That might be the most unethusiastic call of a goal I’ve ever seen.

I tear up at the end of both the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies without a doubt. Frodo saying goodbye to Sam, Merry and Pippin and Bilbo saying goodbye to the dwarves gets me every goddamn time. And then The Last Goodbye plays in the Hobbit credits and the waterworks start.

I think your Knicks point brings up a great point, and it’s that we might not even want to necessarily eliminate tanking at all. I am a Pistons fan, and they are boring as hell to watch right now because we are trying to get into playoff position and failing, nobody gets interested in those teams. However, admitting…

The closest thing I have to a solution is to get rid of the percentages of the lottery. Every non-playoff team gets the same percentage chance at the top 3 (or the #1 or top 5). It creates it’s own issues, but it’s the best I can think of.

Hot take: if you score less than 15 points in a triple-double, it’s not an impressive feat.

I appreciate these Brits for powering through the dumpster fire of politics that is their country right now, and keeping the snoody British stereotype alive by complaining about BAGGY BRITCHES!

That’s the lesson kids: it’s a no-no if there’s only one unconsenting party, but if it’s both, we’re good to go.

Judging by the gut I’ve seen on him lately, it might be a good idea to get it pumped a third time.

FTFY.

And as brilliant as LeBron is, I don’t think he can’t improve any other current team enough to make them better than Golden State is right now. That’s how hopeless the Warriors have rendered the rest of basketball.

The Vulture had a black wife, Latino Flash took a white girl to the prom, May was flirting with the Asian character in the restaurant, and both the party and the dance were full of people of different color dancing and having a good time, they did everything possible to create diversity while sticking to the actual…

Only if the aluminum bats turn blue when they reach the right temperature.

According to reports, Pitbull is only in on the stipulation that Miami-Dade County be renamed “Miami-Dale County”.

Yeah sure, why reward the Dodgers or Astros for getting the best record in baseball over the course of the season when we can take it away from them because they play in the same league as the Phillies or White Sox?

I’ve never understood why people will pay $100 to watch guys with gloves fighting when I can go down to the Taco Bell down the street and see fights every night. AND I can get tacos while watching.

I started simulating a GM mode with the T-Wolves, and two years in Towns was a 93 overall and Wiggins/LaVine above 85. I was 11th in the West that year.

In this case, Ainge’s reputation of getting good deals is working against him. Nobody wants to be the next one fleeced by him, so they’d rather just take any other deal.

From what is being reported, Boston did offer a much better deal at the trade deadline that Indy denied. I’m thinking people are afraid to trade with Boston, either they don’t wanna trade to in conference rivals or they are afraid of getting fleeced by Ainge.
