“The Process” got them Embid and Simmons, a PG who can’t and won’t shoot. The other draft picks were Noel, Okafor and Fultz. Hitting on 2 of 5 top 6 picks is pretty bad. Imagine if instead of Fultz they picked Tatum?

Simmons is wasting away because of his inability (refusal?) to develop a shot other than layups or dunks.  How dangerous in the post could Embid be if teams didn’t have the ability to sag off Simmons and double Embid?

Nobody was blaming Jokic. May 9 is “The Day of Golden Lilies” which commemorates the nine soldiers (the  names on Nurk’s shirt) who were killed defending Bosnia during the war.

Why were they booted? Isn’t this what TPUSA is supposed to do?

must be something in the water at UNLV. First Tomi Tomy Tome Lahren as a graduate and now this little douchebag. 

here’s a little more context from ESPN magazine:

here’s a little background from a kid I worked with when he was a college freshman (and none of us knew his story):

I was concerned about telling my Serb buddy that I was rooting for Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2014 because of the lingering hatred. But, being of a younger generation he was actually very up front about the atrocities his people had committed against the Bosnian people. 

that 30 for 30 was amazing. I had no idea what had gone on between the two. 

I worked with a Bosnian refugee when he was in college and later represented his country in the World Cup. At the time we had no idea what he had gone through as a kid and learned 10 years later in ESPN - his uncle’s house was invaded and the uncle was a POW, the kid’s mom took him, then 5, to the woods and dug a hole…

if only he’d finished the horse like this there’d be no controversy:

yeah, .189 BA for the Tigers in 2009 when they became the first team to lose a 3 game division lead with 4 games to play was pretty damn impressive. 

“We are loosing our man rooms”

you mean “Oak Crick.”

stoppage time is a minimum. Time was added for the delay of game.

such a depressing place...but still better than South Milwaukee (where dreams go to die). 

Not at all. My wife, a Filipina, dislikes Koreans as treat Filipinos like shit in their own country - the Philippines that is, (where wealthy South Koreans are buying up land and discriminating against the natives) so she actively roots against South Korea. And every Irish I know still hates France for Henry’s…

nailed it. And using “separate but equal.” Could be one be anymore tone deaf?

what I find most amusing is not just people arbitrarily picking a team to root for but people arbitrarily picking a team to hate. At least I can say I hate the Seattle Sounders because I’m a Timbers fan and live in Portland and think Sounders fans are dbags. But people ripping “Gooners” who have ever actually met an…

I dig Bournemouth because of them being so small and they’ll be training at my campus where I work this summer. Wolves is cool for being called Wolves. Leicester because of my wife. I root for smaller teams to win but I cannot say I have any specific loyalty to a team. Tried it with Swansea, it didn’t take.
