I’ll one up you on the wackiness...

Basketball-Reference actually has a pretty interesting article on this year’s MVP race. http://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2017/03/russell-westbrook-james-harden-and-the-unconventional-mvp-race/

I think the big difference is timing, more than anything. Bridgewater got hurt on August 30th, 12 days before the start of the season. That certainly added to the desperation level. Bradford was pretty much thought of to be a one year stop gap which made the trade for the first rounder seem insane, but of course now…

Westbrook is amazing. He truly is, and both he and Harden are having terrific, MVP-type seasons. But I do have one question...

When did we stop caring about turnovers?

Westbrook’s averaging 5.4 turnovers per game
Harden’s averaging 5.8 turnovers per game

Jordan averaged 2.7 his whole career. Hell, even Kobe was at 3.0.…

You’d be surprised what a desperate team will trade a first round pick for.

It’s just more of a traditional center skill set. His numbers aren’t far off of what Shaq’s were at the same age. It’s fun to poo poo on Howard, but he’s still a really solid Center.

Comparison time!

Shaq Age 31

I didn’t catch before, and it’s hard to tell from the video, but my assumption is Schroder said something to Howard about his pass, causing Howard to say something back and Schroder forgetting he was actually playing basketball.

Statistically speaking, his dropoff isn’t nearly as bad as one would think.

He’s playing 29 minutes a game, but pulling down 4 offensive boards and almost 9 defensive boards a game and shooting a higher percentage than ever. He’s just a poor fit, offensively, for what the Hawks do.

The loss last night was purely…

“I’m being presumptuous here, but I don’t think any self-respecting gun owner walks around with a gun in the back of their pants. That’s jayvee shit, and it’s a likely sign to other gun owners that you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing.”

Clearly you have not spent enough time in the South. Consider yourself lucky…

I’d suspect a Pokken Tournament to arrive on the Switch.

Just imagine an Atlanta Falcons’ game without anything coming from the speakers, you could hear a pin drop.

Unfortunately at the current rate, we’ll all be seeing Russia when we look out our front doors.

It really depends on how bad the injury is. If it’s a clean break, they’ll do a root canal and reattach the dislodged tooth. Any time the tooth comes out like that at best you’ll need a root canal due to all of the damage.

If it’s not, then yeah, it’s false teeth for life. (eg, back in the 80s my brother was walking to…

A car race is, traditionally, the easiest sport to understand. They start, they race, and the one that finishes first wins.

Now it’s easier to explain the infield fly rule than what they’ve done to Nascar. Between the constant changes of the cars, to random playoff rules, to rule changes, to constantly trying to shove…

But now that exhibition race isn’t an exhibition because points!

I wonder if insurance picks up at least some of the salary.

A perfect example of this is the Atlanta Braves. This is a team that’s clearly rebuilding, and needed to.

Let’s look at some of their offseason acquisitions.

44 year old Bartolo Colon
42 year old RA Dickey
36 year old Brandon Phillips
33 year old Kurt Suzuki
32 year old Sean Rodriguez

The idea that they signed 86 years of…

I can think of two scenarios.

1. If you can get a vet for value, and they produce, you can turn them into yet another prospect.

I don’t know... I mean, this is Vince at 38.

So in other words, you’re saying the next Bachelor should be Joe Rogan.
