And that’s part of the problem. The team can easily get by without a guy for two weeks because the season is so long. It’s a small price to pay in order to save millions of dollars. On the other hand, that tiny blip in the schedule can cost a player a whole year of making less money than he should otherwise be earning.

Makes you wonder how good Collins would be with...I don’t know...a former euro league mvp who is a better passer and all around player than Trae Young. Not sure how that would have ever come to fruition though, so probably no need for the hypothetical.

I don’t get the “He gave everything he had for Boston” narrative. He’s supposed to do that and no one would even know who he was if he didn’t go out and “give it his all.”

Big props to Monte Morris. He earned his spot. He takes care of the ball (he’s got one of the highest assist/TO ratios in the league), and he’s played some big minutes while the Nuggs were dealing with a shit-ton of injuries to starters this season.

Well yes. Most decent paint players in the NBA can finish with either hand.

Movies that make mountains of money but suck get studios and entire initiatives shut down (ask WB/DC).

I didn’t blame Sarri for that goal. I blame him for thinking his whiteboard scheme is infallible & too precious to adapt to the players available to him or to the opponent’s tactics. I blame him for insisting every transaction pass metronomically thru Jorginho, who is easily marked out of games. I blame him for…

Every concern troll on paying NCAA players: “But where would the money come from?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!”

Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water? Vodka. That’s what they drink, isn’t it? Never water. On now account will a commie ever drink water - and not without good reason.

I just love that the East (Raptors and 76ers) are gearing up for title runs this year when they’re just going to get decimated by the West/Warriors

Am I missing something...this goal was just...ok? Afterburners? after that pass it’s not like he dusted the defenders...they were still with him.

Lol seriously? That goal was worth $78MM?

I find Russ’s bricklaying and padded rebound stats much worse than Aldridge’s selection.  But that’s besides the point; Rudy should’ve gotten in.

Rudy got interviewed for a feature while getting a pedicure and has a lightning bolt etched into his hair. He doesn’t give a fuck what Ballkicker & Permanent Veteran’s Minimum Injury Insurance Claim thinks.

He’s got the best win shares in the league, lost a spot to Russ’s bricks, and missed out a bonus that’s 46% of…

“Romo’s predictions were mostly about the Patriots’ offense, and almost all in the second half and overtime. “

Mostly it’s because so much football commentary is absolute garbage, and it’s refreshing to hear a human being effectively explaining complex shit in a simple way. We just suffered through a terrible MNF booth that seemed more interested in bringing “debate” into the broadcast over, ya know...just telling us what the…

Counterpoint  - these are tomato cans he’s beating up on.

The shot selection of Marshall Henderson. The circuitous sound-and-fury dribbling of Lance Stephenson. The height of Earl Boykins.

He double-dribbles and carries you say?

Maybe I don’t have a good eye or the low res of a twitter video is messing with me, but it seems like he double-dribbles and carries a lot...
