How close is the NBA to just straight up record ranking for the playoffs and saying the hell with who finishes where in their own conference? Top 16 are in, regardless of east v. west.

I’ve seen the theory floated that a bunch of guys have gone to/stayed in the West to avoid LeBron in the playoffs. This seems a little specious, given that the West had the Spurs juggernaut for a decade and now has had the Warriors Death Star for 3 years. I think the more likely explanation is that a lot of GMs are…

Best part about this is that the Knicks are going to resign Derrick Rose, keep Carmelo Anthony, have a zen-master-less Porzingis, and still only win 30 games. I hate this team.

What the fuck Danny? The fuck are you doing? That’s two very good players that were had for practically nothing. I can understand not wanting to sell the farm for Paul George but apparently all you needed to sell was an old cow.

The other great thing about this if you’re Sam Presti is that you unload Oladipo at $21 million a year. Even if George bolts next summer, you replaced Oladipo with a better player this year and get $21 million in cap relief for the next three seasons.

Clearly his technique of standing flatfooted, in one place while telegraphing huge, looping hooks is going to do well against one of the most technical, defensive fighters in history.

What he lacks in style and technique he makes up for in a superior corner team, fashion sense, nicotine intake, and incomprehensible gibberish.

There is only one acceptable outcome here. Right before McGregor gets knocked unconscious, he forgets it’s a boxing match and kicks Mayweather in the head knocking him out.

I don’t really want to wade into a squabble about this or anything, but I would - to a degree - argue that it is us who are obsessed with “Becky.”

I find it funny that Beyonce and Jay Z are so hung up on Becky, and he even tells her to let it go.

The person in the office has no respect, so Fuck that.

The difference between Kerr and Pop when it comes to their often fawned about social wokeness is that I’m pretty sure Pop would laugh and walk away if asked this question.

In Stephen King’s The Dead Zone, Johnny Smith is in a coma for five years. Imagine, if you will, going into a coma sometime during 2012 or so, maybe even around the time everybody thought the world was going to end because of the Mayan calendar — and waking up now. You’d be all excited the world didn’t end, but only…

At the national level, there are no moderate Republicans. They all own this, no matter how hard they wring their hands over vulgarity and sexism.

Well, I’m speaking (typing) in relative terms, here. Obviously Conor McGregor is a ballet master and/or Muhammad Ali compared to me, but in a boxing ring, restricted to boxing, against Floyd Mayweather, yeah, he is a klutz with no boxing skill.

Hell, if she wanted to be in a better place she could have driven 5 miles in any direction.

Safe!

This will either be a fun pairing or a total disaster

Well, there goes the Clippers’ run of being somewhat slightly kind of sort of but ultimately not really relevant.

Look at how this question was setup:
