That’s still part of the Process, though. Put a bunch of fringe guys on the floor to lose on purpose for a few years with the hope that a couple of them develop into legit NBA role players to round out your roster when the superstars arrive. See also Covington, Robert.

Games like this make me wish the NBA allowed local broadcasts in the later playoff rounds. Watching McConnell get a putback off of his own miss is great and all, but it’s just not the same without a Zumoff “Among the trees!”

Treme is a neighborhood, not a nickname for the city. It’s sort of like if you had written “The Big Apple/Tribeca/other nicknames for New York City.”

Props to Amy for apologizing and admitting that she was being the rude one.

Sausage gravy on steak fries? Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Nuttin’ honey.

Space Cases. Kaylee from Firefly was in it, too.

Yeah, I think all of us swarthy Mediterranean people are kind of in the same boat in that regard. Which just goes to show the irrational nature of racism. All those caricatures and stereotypes could just as easily be applied to Greeks or Italians or Lebanese or whoever. But for some reason, the asshole racists of the…

I usually don’t bother correcting people because it’s mostly benign. But then there are other times when it’s, uh, not?

Kudos to Tit for having the courage to put ‘em (his convictions) on the (fiber)glass.

I know jack shit about shooting mechanics and even less about sports psychology, but it really bothers me how he hangs his head after every miss. If I were a coach, my first note would be for him to keep his head up (literally) no matter the result of the shot. Wasn’t there a TED talk about how that sort of victory…

I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties.

Agreed! Now if only somebody would write an article to help raise awareness and explain how to make some simple accommodations for D/deaf people...

tu quoque

Isn’t Foles Mormon, though? Maybe he was an Evan McMullin supporter...

And I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!

This makes the LeBron-to-the-Sixers talk that crops up in the Philly hoops sphere whenever LeBron says something vaguely complimentary about Embiid or Simmons seem almost reasonable.
