Celtics fan, and also a human being, so I have 2 decent reasons to hate Kobe. But I am glad this article leaks the open secret that Larry Legend (who ofc I love) could be, like Kobe, a total asshole as a teammate.

“decently tough opponents ahead of them”: Boston is at home vs Ottawa, who are decidedly not “decently tough”. Boston is also 3-6-1 in their last 10, so they and Phili are racing to see who will collapse least efficiently.

As a Raptors fan, Masai Ujiri cleaning up Colangelo’s mess (Bargnani, Rudy Gay) is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. Good luck with him.

I live in BC, and I’m certain I’ve never smoked shit as good as Sam’s.

When I see Wiggins’ game, it reminds me of Demar Derozan’s. A couple of years ago,he was an analytics nightmare, and Raps fans were wondering if he would be worth his contract. Now he’s an all-star. Wiggins has even more upside than that, and there’s not much reason to worry.

Straight truth, no matter how you slice it

In British Columbia, naturopaths also can and do prescribe antibiotics. This supposed divide between real and fake medicine exists on internet message boards more than IRL.

If you’re from Frozen IceHole, Manitoba, population 43 humans and 8000 moose, then sure you’re excited that local boy li’l Mikey Trieshard is in the playoffs. But most of us live in big cities (almost all near the US border), and in Vancouver, we stopped going to games 2 months ago. They can’t give away tickets, and…

This gif is the greatest ever

The obvious answer is that S. American leagus pay is really low compared to Europe or MLS.

The whole “5 sets vs 3" argument ignores the fact that it’s only the majors where this appies. At Indian Wells (and every other tournament except the majors) everyone plays best of 3, so the “men play more” argument doesn’t make sense (on a number of levels).

After making zero trades of note at the deadline, Canucks fans have no teeth left anyway.

Then maybe the problem is that there isn’t enough coaching talent. Cuz I’m in Van and Coach Willie keeps insisting that Derek Dorsett is “a foundation piece.”

Thanks to everybody who discussed #4 (going neutral at lights), but I have a related question: Is it bad to put the car in park (and engage the e-brake) when at long lights? (If you’re wondering why I would, I have pain in my legs and it does help not needing to have my calf muscle engaged the whole time.)

Also “unfounded” is the idea that there’s enough talent (and fan interest) for 32 complete NHL rosters. But Bettman will continue to investigate that possibility anyway.

Great article, sums up lots of my thoughts on the fight and its aftermath. FYI: the phrase “taking a different tact”should be “tack”, a term that comes from boating, meaning course or path. I think we can all agree there’s zero chance Notorious will have anything to do with tact.

If anyone needs to find me, I’ll be hiding under my covers.

Canada’s is 16 as well. (Mostly, it’s determined by province iirc. Ontario only recently moved up their age from 14.)

How the heck were the Sixers ahead in at least 5 games going into th 4th?
