The muscle car thing reminds me of the beginning of Glory Days: speedball?

Having the other team shooting FT’s after any foul is a big downside.

Gonna sound like Barry here, but it’s amazing that more dudes don’t try shooting under-handed. It can’t be more humiliating than being sub-40% from the line.

Doc’s roster construction seems to indicate that he owned several excellent Yahoo Public League Fantasy NBA teams in 2010-2011.

He’s a modern-day Rakim.

“I saw Mitch Kupchak got a vote.”

Yes, what executive might have cast a vote for the Lakers, who have been run abysmally over the last few years. Maybe someone with some sort of personal connection to LA’s front office, I dunno.

Small sample size.

Hinkie’s plan might flame out terribly, or not produce enough success to justify three seasons of misery, but you continue to harp on how dumb it is before it’s really able to come to fruition.

If you really think that they’re just going to perpetually flip picks and players and never spend all of that cap space…

Mudiay didn’t end up in China by choice, but it seems to have worked out for him in that he’s a) been pretty fairly compensated for his services, b) has not appreciably hurt his draft stock, at least according to the websites that busy themselves with gauging the draft stocks of incoming players, and c) has probably…

Albert, this might be a good day to just turn off the computer/phone and go for a nice, long, enjoyable walk.

That is a perfect screencap of Blatter.

The last podcast he had with Haralabos (who is must-read/listen on any format re: NBA), Simmons said something like "We agree about 90% of the time on NBA things...", met with a really awkward silence.

(I'm not a Sixers fan, btw)

Voulgaris disagrees on Hinkie, calling him one of the sharpest NBA minds he's ever come across. And, all due respect, he's forgotten more about the NBA than you or I may ever know. His plan could completely flop, but again, I think it's premature to judge.

Hinkie inherited a really, really bad team. I don't think…

If the jury's out on his brilliance, why did you just devote tons of words to calling him moron, etc?

Hinkie's media silence makes sense. I don't think the implication is that he's necessarily sitting on the Key to Unlocking the NBA, it's simply that there's no point to giving away anything for nothing.

Way fewer words, much more credibility:

Look, at some point just let yourself go gray, or it gets REAL creepy.

I would be 100% OK with the USMNT just completely boycotting this.

Good primer. And if you're new, I think violating some of the etiquette can be ameliorated by just not acting like a butthole. Admit you're new.

Sorry to bust out the #actually, but I think that's about 45 yards from where he throws it to where it crosses the goal line. If the length of the sideline from where he throws the ball to the goal-line is 35 yards, and the ball crosses the goal line at about the midpoint (28 yards from the corner flag, if my math is…
