yep, the longtime season ticket holders who lived through the post Run TMC years (with the “We Believe” year being a blip on otherwise a dismal stretch) have been priced out by the tech bros who don’t care about basketball, they just go because it’s the cool thing to do and to be seen. Now they’re just being abandoned…

As an Oakland native and a long time Warriors fan, I’m riding out the this final year enjoying every moment I possibly can. These last six or seven years have been a basketball fans dream. A dynasty team of the ages. Somehow every player I liked ended up on the warriors from Igoudala to David West and even Boogie…

I always loved how Oakland seemed to be the last hold out in the mass influx of money and gentrification into the Bay Area. San Francisco has been mostly unaffordable for most of my life and absolutely unaffordable for the last 15 years. Still, as the Bay became more homogeneous, it felt like people intetionally…

For Bay Area folks out there: have you met a single person who’s enthusiastic about the move? Because I have not. 

life expectancy in this country is around 79

I think it’s because it’s called “Date Rape” so everyone just assumes it’s pro date rape when it's actually pretty explicitly anti.

And nostalgia+Poptimism is the speedball that devastates communities.

It’s interesting that Sublime has had much more mainstream staying power than their cornier white guy reggae brothers in arms, 311. I still hear Sublime songs on the radio frequently, but I rarely, if ever hear 311 songs anymore.

Pitchfork randomly shitting on an album 27 years later is peak Pitchfork.

So am I allowed to listen to Sublime or not?  The article isn’t clear and I want to make sure I’m legally protected against Pitchfork

Using a little algebra we can determine that this statement has also left us with the argument that “poor people don’t mind rats.” As a one time broke person, I would like to inform you that that is not, in fact, the case.

Finally!  Now, those of us part of the 99.9% of the world’s population that live outside of NYC don’t have to hear about it anymore. 

Everyone he made late gets one free punch

Kanter looked like he was going to die or start weeping or start weeping while he died. It’s sort of amazing he’s gone from a defense-free punchline to a fucking unkillable gritlord in the span of two months. 

I know basketball players are routinely mocked for not being as tough as hockey players (i’m as guilty as the next guy), but Kanter played 3 of the 4 OTs after further separating his shoulder. For a guy who goes after that many rebounds, thats gotta be pretty painful.

ITS* YOU SON OF A BITCH

I debated going to bed with about 7 min left in regulation, but decided it had been such a fun game that I should see it out. By the end of the first OT, I was really glad I had stayed up.

This was one of the greatest games I’ve ever watched and the single greatest feat was pulled off by my wife. We’re watching the 3rd overtime from a small town on the coast and we’re out of beer and the only store that sells it is a quarter mile away and closes at 11. At 10:50 with the blazers down 5 with 8 or so…

No player comes as close to matching Curry’s range or freakish combination of shooting ability and confidence, but to even make such a comparison unfairly cheapens what Lillard is capable of. K2 may not be quite as tall as Everest, but it’s still pretty goddamn tall, you know?

This jabroni named himself Playoff P and won three playoff games in two years. The most studio gangster team in the league takes the L. You hate to see it.
