Yeah, he’ll be tasked guarding lightning quick shooting guards.

Rubio has charisma, team-first attitude, and sneaky defense and steals.

Ball has none of those. If his shot doesn’t work against NBA defenders, he doesn’t have Rubio’s other skills to fall back on and he’s an utter failure.

Pippen probably neutralizes Durant. Jordan is better than everyone else. I’m not saying it’s definitive, but Jordan’s competitiveness was a force of nature, and I rooted against him every year in the playoffs.

What is intriguing is if Rodman would be able to stay on the court.

Plus he’s bribed the refs before the…

You mean a dedicated transportation infrastructure, a republic-organized government, a vast powerful military that projects economic dominance over a wide area?

Ok, cellphones would be magic

Counterpoint: you’re already sprawled to a ludicrous degree. You have to start building up somewhere.

Obviously I’m not from LA, but this just sounds like bitching from someone that doesn’t have any real solutions.

Or water.

So you like watching people stand around and glare rather than be forced to move around a court?

Has deadspin ever done an article on the craptastic management of the AFL? Apparently they shoot themselves in the feet constantly, and could be rolling in relatively good dough like the baseball minor leagues (well, ownership would) if they just were sensible.

The Clone Wars shorts, awesome as they are, are canon casualties to the postquels.

So look forward to Mace getting beaten by a Mary Sue who decided to have force powers three panels back.

Uh, they blew them out in the beginning of the year...

Why is the WNBA doing a national draft?
They CLEARLY need regional collegiate stars to stay, you know, IN THE REGION.
Then the fans will follow.
Network effects people!

I don’t know if you remember the election, but everyone said that Trump would be a disaster for the Republican party and end them...

And now they own all of the federal government.

Republicans have no idea what will happen, what is bad for their power, what is good for it... they just know they’ll hold on to it while…

Crappy monopolistic companies never understand why they can’t break into more open markets...

Even if the phone is good, people intrinsically hate the company, especially the thought leaders, both trendy (pro-Apple) and nerdy (anything but MS).

I’ve never used the mobile OS, but it probably looks great and reviews…

Hyyyyuuuuge phallic objects blasting into space MAGAing the world?

Which is why the last two wars have gone SO WELL!

How about a massive solar-powered passive AI drone torpedo fleet?

Think China could crank those out enough for full theater denial?

If we can’t stop fastboats, we can’t stop smaller, faster, and deadlier...

Right way, wrong way, Navy way.

Denialism is pretty strong in the Navy.

A lot of relatively cheap missiles can sink an entire carrier group for a very economically advantageous exchange.

With 1980s technology.

War is very good business... not just to the craven military industrial complex, but for news outlets...

Are they just practicing them fully rested, or making them do some line sprints between sets of free throws to simulate game fatigue?

Really? Doesn’t seem that hard to figure out. The Bulls have way better star players, who despite differences have beefs with the Celtics and are on primetime for every game.

So the Bulls decide to play well, and the Celtics don’t have another gear.

actually marathons are some of the worst offenders of the great race entry inflation.

Notice in the above article the race director says “a couple bucks a racer here, a couple bucks a racer there”... and probably gets to 20 bucks a racer. Double it to 40 for a marathon (the number of runners should make up for it)...

Bo…
