Promising guys not panning out and talent evaluation being hard are arguments for the process, no?

Never cared much for On Tour, but SSX3 is sooooooo good.

Its not like Ainge traded him to Orlando. He’s on a championship contender and should end up being even more dangerous with LeBron on the floor.

I forgot they included their own pick in that trade. That’s amazing.

Can someone explain to me how the trade return for Butler went from getting “1, possibly 2, 1st rounders + other players” from the Celtics to getting Zack Levine + crap from the Wolves?

Do people order tacos at Chipotle? I know they sell them, but I imagine they’re just a blip on the sales breakdown next to burritos and bowls.

That describes me pretty well too, and I bought ME:A the last time it was on sale. Its not horrible if you think of it as a generic sci fi game, but its a pretty crap Mass Effect game.

Yeah but they win it convincingly instead of scratching their way to 9-7.

I’m a Mass Effect apologist. I finished ME3 twice before the extended cut DLC came out and thought it was great. I played through it again earlier this year and saw the updated ending for the first time and thought it was amazing. I saw all the bad reviews of ME:A and bought it anyway because I’m willing to overlook…

A shame so many get-rich-quick schemes require a time machine.

Despite the 1 seed Ainge knows the Celts are still 2 pieces away from really contending. He can cash in his assets for 1 piece basically whenever he wants, but I’d guess the plan is to wait until either: a second piece shows up in free agency, one of these draft picks develops into a star, or the Cavs’ window closes.

Being a contender is way more than just having good players

Here’s my favorite sentence from this Ringer blog: “No matter what happens from here, LeBron’s legacy is secure.” Is it, now? I would submit that...

Zaza is a “starter” but he isn’t the 5th best guy on the team and he doesn’t play when it matters. If anything, it only shows how dominant the Warriors are that they’re going to sweep the finals while still playing an 11 guy rotation like this is some random game in March.

I’m an AM shower guy, so the idea that I should be required to shower before going to bed after a long day of flying is absurd. A day of flying isn’t getting me significantly dirtier than on any other normal day, and the hotel bed you’re about to jump into is just as gross as everything else you’ve been in contact…

I have the LC 130 and I wish it had the zoomable lens of the cheaper models.

Someone please remaster SSX3

All of this is basically true of the Celtics/Bulls series too, except its Robin Lopez instead of Dwight Howard.

Is that really the best job for her? Seems like whoever takes over for Pop, even if they do a great job, will still be a downgrade. I’d try to avoid that one.
