That would require too much of these interns. More likely, just something made by an idiot.

Very first words out of my mouth in first episode when we meet him: “that dude does not actually want to marry a black woman”

I realize they started in a worse position than the Celtics. But there’s definitely a middle ground between Hinkie and muddling through as a mediocre team that they could have pursued.

You’re kidding right? Fans in San Antonio are spoiled and have had it best for 2 decades. They’ll be just fine.

Also building a team to compete long term instead of chasing fools gold IS EXACTLY what Danny Ainge has done by methodically stock piling assets and not being trigger happy on trades. He could have blown this whole team up to get Jimmy Butler at the deadline but he chose not to because that would ahve been chasing…

I think your recent basketball history is off. This is the Celtics 1st 50 win season since 2012, and represents them just now entering a period in which they are set up to be very good for a long time. It is not the end of the world to me as a Celtics fan that they are not already ready to win an NBA title (remember:…

Yes! You have to actively not like watching the actual real-life game of basketball to value the potential to maybe win some games later over the opportunity to wins lots of games right now.

Many famous people like this have social media managers. They’re not the only person with the login for their accounts. Some intern/manager type could have been the one to realize what happened and delete it.

Its funny that one of the softest — if not THE softest - bigs in the NBA is considered a goon because of one awkward fluke play. (Sorry Kevin) He’s basically the least goon-ish big guy in the NBA. He’s a horrific rebounder, post defender. Just shoots 3s. Plays minimal D. Doesn’t foul hard, and so on.

He was trying to argue that he didn’t deserve a foul.

In the Ringer article about this from yesterday, there were photos of each of them, both taken this week. One of Marcus instagramming himself in a Wizards jersey attending Game 1, and another from Game 2 of Markieff. Markieff’s beard was about 2-3 weeks of growth longer than Marcus’s in the photo from 2 days earlier.…

And considerably lower than just the cost of the inducements ($800 + hotel x 4) they were offering to 4 volunteers to get off the plane!

I mean, in his defense, that’s an actual weather-induced safety situation. He was weighing “inconvenience some people” vs. “we all might die in a flaming wreck because our plane has too much weight to stay afloat” and went with “inconvenience some people.” So clearly he didn’t handle breaking the news to the…

YES!! Makes no sense. They were offering $3200 + hotel stays (so like $4000 in total?) in incentives to get people to volunteer to leave. Renting a car service to drive you 4.5 hours has got to be no more than $400ish, right? Completely nuts. And 4.5 hours drive is not that much longer than door-to-door air travel on…

I agree. But you realize that would just mean we all pay more to cover the lost margin, right?

Are they covered by the fact that the violence was actually done by the CPD, not them? CPD might be more open to a lawsuit?

People are also massively overstating the importance of gerrymandering vs. the clustering. There’s been some fascinating research on this that has shown that partisan residential segregation (e.g., clustering of democrats in cities where they “waste” their votes) explains FAR more of the disproportionality between…

fwiw, having been a graduate student during a similar unionization campaign at a similar school, i can tell you from first hand experience that many grad students *are* quite ambivalent about whether they actually want to unionize or not, and there is a lot of pressure from other students to just ask no questions and…

But that is precisely what the protesters are advocating doing (destroying it).
