Totally agreed. Kenny, Chuck and Shaq all agreed the Thunder should have won the series. They have the better roster! They just don’t play like it and always get careless toward the end of quarters, always. I feel like the real story of the game is the Thunder stopped getting those rebounds that kept their offense in…

The court is made of a firm, wooden surface and the baskets are made of steel and nylon thread. It’s the NBA Finals which means these upcoming games are the last of the season.

“What’s the point of observing a moment of silence for destroyed balls?”

I don’t think anyone is invalidating the 73 wins. It was an amazing accomplishment. What is being invalidated is the “one of the greatest teams ever” argument. The truth is, last year GS got incredibly lucky throughout the playoffs. In almost every round they played a team that had lost at least one key piece of its…

So I guess it’s a better game when all the best players are overpaid divas who can’t get a finger laid on them? I may as well start watching soccer.

Go back 25 years and a player would never get on fire like Steph without being clotheslined at half court by some goon from the bench just to make him a little less happy, and more nervous.

It sounds like it suffers from the same thing a lot of fantasy suffers from, layers and layers and layers of meaningless crap piled on top of its self in the name of “world building.”

If I make a habit of kicking the air when no one’s around, and then when someone IS around I still kick (in airspace that now also contains another player’s testicles), I fail to see how it cannot be anyone’s responsibility but my own.

I’m a casual Warriors fan and hope they win the series, but let’s remember Westbrook is the dude who finished out a game with a fucking dent in his face. I’m not about to take that dude on about flopping.

Those would be pretty interesting games!

Yeah, this seems the important point. Why should we accept white male as the default assumption. If those qualities are germane, somehow, to the plot, then so be it. But to not consider diversifying characters, and to get in the habit of diversifying them, keeps us stuck in the same characters all the time.

I mean, we’re not talking about creating characters and then gender-swapping them. We’re talking about a preproduction process where the writers might say something like “alright, and then Nate and Sam go into this old man’s house” and then someone says “what if it’s a woman?” and everyone’s like “hey yeah.” Maybe…

Diversity is a good thing. Looking at every character and seeing if they should be female seems complete crazy to me. It’s rare that the gender matters at all in games (I mean storywise, not representation),so how do you have that conversation?

He kicked him in the balls, dude. If (when) he is suspended, the only person deserving the ire of GSW fans will be Green himself, not the league. Besides, the Thunder have already won twice with Green on the court, and would need to do it a third time in order to advance even assuming they beat the Draymond-less…

Exactly, you hit the dick on the head.

It was especially alarming because financial regulation to break up big banks is his answer to EVERYTHING. The fact that he hadn’t done even the most basic of research to come up with a concrete plan for his ONLY ISSUE really reveals his shortcomings as a leader.

Yeah, that interview - I’m for Hillary, but I’ve always said I like Bernie and support his ideas. After that interview, as someone who works with bankers, I lost all faith in his ability to change or even fully understand our current financial system. Bankers are smart - unless you have some ironclad legislation…

No, it’s not. He needs to say something without a negative conjunction at the end of it.

The interview was nothing short of a disaster. I’ve been saying all along he’s an inch deep and and inch wide in his knowledge and plans. That interview made it clear he’s not even that.

...which is weird and makes me think he’s buying too much into his own hype. If he’s realistic about his chances he should be able to see the math makes it almost impossible for him to win, which you’d *think* would make it easier to denounce the crazies....less at stake.
