Poor here, and just as outraged as anybody can be about elitist malfeasance, but is this really a jailable crime? Come the fuck on.

It’s as simple as features and bugs; The Warriors used the features of a game (pace, 3 pt line) to the extreme, but the Rockets used the bugs of a game (blurred line referee-ing) to the extreme. One side you can respect, the other you would love to bury and never see again.

I wouldn’t call it “corny nihilism” but rather extreme pragmatism—he’s simply doing what works and is allowed within the rules, although it’s debatable that the amount of movement he makes to initiate contact is in fact within the rules. If he were playing in the early 90s he’d be pounding the low post for 15 seconds…

“This presumes of course, that there is a right way to play...”

“He is crafty, abusing the rules of the game and drawing fouls unlike any player in the history of the sport, leveraging his superior dramatic arts to flop his way to the line”

Warriors Revolution: What if we play basketball based on absurd 3-point shooting and spacing, creating openings with swift ball movement and requiring defenses to guard shots previously thought impossible? We’ll play with a small, quick lineup, that will outpace slower, larger players, making them either lose on…

The only thing I can think of here is that the woman in question was placing unusually large food orders at the counter and maybe holding up the line in the process, maybe explaining the hostile response from management?

Clay using a decades-old picture of him as a young man on that poster is pretty funny.

Ug. I enjoy your adventures but just don’t understand.

He hasn’t recently, because he was serving as First VP of the NBA Player’s Association (2015-2019). The players on the PA Executive Committee don’t generally opt to take less money, since they conduct CBA negotiations. It’d be difficult to argue the players deserve more money while you simultaneously request to get…

What? You mean to say that a guy who is too chickenshit to call himself a Democrat until he needs to leverage the party’s resources for his presidential run doesn’t actually care about the party itself?

Yes. But that doctor was employed by the Golden State Warriors. 

Because, as some of us have been saying for almost four years now, it’s all about the cult of personality for him.

He knows very well how it will be “read” by his supporters. He’s not stupid. He accuses her by association. I was hoping this time around, he would be more disciplined and not go this route of demonizing the democratic party. Because his primary failure in 2016 was his inability to unite enough voters behind him in…

I disagree that he is not disparaging Warren. He is basically lumping her with centrists and corporatists by association. He knows exactly what he is doing; and it’s dishonest and disingenuous.

A couple of thoughts:

Bernie said she’s in the bag for corporate America. Which is demonstrably untrue and not entirely respectful of her nuanced policy points.

“That asshole is just ripping off Oasis!”

Might be time for a “Worst Groups In Sports” bracket of some sort. I’ve got MLB Umps vs. NFL Owners in the finals. Maybe round out the Final 4 with NCAA Administrators and the IOC? Tough competition all the way around.
