I disagree. Over-prescription and abuse (often through no fault of the patient) of prescription painkillers are an epidemic in this country. I think the more light shed on this problem, the better.

I’ve seen it a lot. I’m really sorry to hear about your situation.

As a former medical type person, I’ll add that this is entirely the fault of the US healthcare system. There are certain people who have untreatable conditions that require constant pain management. But many people have conditions which could be treated or at least managed via surgery and/or PT. The problem is that…

Kevin: (or anyone)

Exactly. The TNT crew summed it up:

This guy was the consensus number one pick as recently as like a month ago. This is absurd.

No Mike legitimately hated Henry Bibby. (Deservedly, by most accounts). Austin Rivers is a spoiled rich brat whose dad is still getting him places he has no business being, but wants us all to know they’re not that close because daddy took a lot of business trips when he was a kid.

Yeah nothing about that seemed really bad to me.

I’m not trying to be disrespectful, I’m genuinely curious if this was in some way related to his religious beliefs? I’m not very familiar with the JW’s but I’ve seen reported multiple places that he didn’t get the proper treatment for his leg problems because it went against their doctrine.

Here’s a fun fact: professional athletes get injured.

If your number one overall pick trips over and dies walking onto a stage, he probably wasn’t going to help your team that much anyway.

Fuck Dr. Drew sideways with a shovel. That slime ball should have his license revoked.

LOL. Yeah they can totally beat the Clippers without Curry.

Look the man was good - but can we stop pretending that he was on the level of Michael Jackson? Thriller. Billie Jean. Black or White. Bad. These were just objectively better songs than Raspberry Beret.

Yeah, just ask LaBradford Smith.

Deadspin. If only white males ages 24 - 33 born in America and educated in public schools funded in upper middle class socioeconomic districts could run everything.

I just really profoundly love it when people kick Dana “human genital sore” White around.

Alcoholics go to meetings. I’m just a drunk.

At the time I kind of felt the reference would make it LESS funny. On further reflection though, you’re right, that would have been better.
