Steph talks about Jesus constantly. Have you ever heard him interviewed, or seen any of his cheesy/creepy social media? He also points to the heavens after literally every 3-pointer he makes. More subtle than Tebowing, but it also happens a lot more often per game.

What percentage of those bandwagoners do you think are feeling pretty dumb right now for the Westbrook jerseys they bought after Game 4?

With you. Steph Curry is the black, very-good-at-his-sport, Tim Tebow. It’s weird to see the same people who shit on Tebow (even when he was in college and therefore very good) for being a fake-nice, uber-Jesusy weirdo turn around and give Steph a pass for being the exact same guy.

Baseball guys are the most thin-skinned humans in the world.

I appreciate that for you, it’s just “some policy issues.” If the same were true for me, I’d vote for Hillary without reservation. But it’s not for me. Trump throws a wrench in things, because he’s so uniquely awful, but from where I sit Hillary is significantly closer to mainstream republicans like Kasich, Bush, or…

I think you’re probably right. I love Westbrook. I think he’s consistently the most fun player in the league to watch, and he’s the best defender of any big-time scorer this side of Kawhi. But (at risk of using a Simmons-ism), for all that he brings to the table, he also takes a lot off. He’s a sub-30% 3-point shooter…

The weird thing is, I thought they moved the ball exceptionally well against the Spurs (throwing out Game 1, of course). And on the defensive end, they managed to turn the Spurs into the “constant iso” team, which is pretty much the antithesis of who they are (and not Kawhi’s game at all, great though he is).

Eh, I think Clinton will still win comfortably. Winning 33% of 33% is one thing—winning 51% of 100% is another entirely. Based on her unfavorables, Hillary is a historically bad candidate. If the Reps had managed to nominate Kasich, or Rubio, or Jeb!, or Scott Walker, etc., they probably would have won. But Trump is a…

Hurry up and die, Old Man Fuckstick

It’s not that there’s no difference. It’s that the difference between Trump and Hillary is, for many people, much smaller than the difference between Hillary and Bernie or, more generally, Hillary and a non-establishment, actually progressive candidate.

I don’t think the “Clinton’s voting record isn’t that different from Bernie’s” argument is compelling at all, for the simple reason that, in order for a piece of legislation to be voted on, it must be sufficiently center-right to make it that far in the legislative process.

I know you’re catching a lot of shit here, but this hits the nail on the head for me. The anti-Nader revisionist narrative—in which Al Gore is a capable, progressive politician, infinitely preferable to W—is mind-boggling stupid.

If you point a gun at my kids and tell me to pick which one dies or you’ll kill them both, and I don’t pick (because either choice is appalling) so you kill them both, does that mean I personally made the choice that killed the kid I maybe, sorta, slightly liked a tiny bit better?

Counterpoint: Go fuck yourself.

Came here to say the same thing. That motherfucker and his steals. Of course, that was back when men were men in the NBA and a firm two-handed shove to the chest was just good defense. smdh No place for a true D-and-3 today with these namby-pamby hand check rules. And even so these modern players can’t match Skiles’…

Noah Vonleh showed some real potential during the regular season in Portland, too. But hey, once you’ve burned a lottery pick on a young, raw, high-upside big, why give them time to develop? Not when there are unathletic 22-year-olds to draft, geriatric glass-boned bigs to overpay, or semi-star wings to rent for a few…

This is correct. But, my understanding is that Liverpool winning Europa could cost England a Europa spot. Specifically, if Liverpool finish in one of the table spots designated for Europa (5-7 if United win the FA Cup, 5-6 if Palace do), that spot would not be filled by the next team in the table.

Not sure how to embed tweets, but this one is actually real:

A perennial contender that 6 years ago was in the NIT, has had four McDonald’s All-Americans flee the program this decade, and has lost every high-profile recruiting battle with Duke, Kentucky, or Kansas since Harrison Barnes.
