Donj (yes, I’m still trying to make that happen)

Will the refs ever call illegal defense on Boston?

It also seems to me that’s just a hard thing to do because it requires quick decision-making under pressure plus the body control to actually avoid giving the foul. Successfully sidestepping or backing away from a steamrolling James Harden is probably a lot harder than guys like Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala make…

It’s like all Harden is capable of on defense is banging with guys bigger than him (which actually he’s pretty good at). Looney’s probably the best matchup for him in the Warriors’ rotation, but then you can move Capela a million miles out from the rim and/or you put Harden in P&R ... so yeah, I think he just needs to…

His post was stupid and he was called stupid, that seems reasonable enough to me

Admittedly, it came after a missed over-and-back call in the Warriors’ favor

A serious conversation is not at all what he/she/it wants - they just want the name “Hillary” to flash in front of eyeballs, in the hopes that one more idiot will react in cynical disgust and be disinclined to vote for the next candidate who, while not perfect, isn’t a racist buffoon.

nine of him, in fact

The party that’s refusing to let Hillary become irrelevant is Trump’s GOP. They mention her name all the time. The democrats never talk about her. The obvious reason is the GOP believes she’s the perfect bogeywoman and they do everything they can to make people continue to believe she’s the enemy.

We are and always have been a schizophrenic country with strong support for both hateful xenophobia and welcoming inclusivity, oscillating wildly between the two depending on marginal changes in political success. Right now the xenophobes have the keys to the castle. That may change, but they’ll still be here, foaming…

You’re doing the lord’s work, where “the lord” is some smirking, cynical asshole who wants to depress the anti-Trump vote by getting as many idiots as possible to mouth-breathe “muh Hillary is the same as Trump” for ever and ever, no matter how far away from current political relevance Hillary actually gets.

Agreed mostly but you need to watch more if you think Klay and KD are immune to taking crazy iso jumpers. Steph’s are uniquely crazy but all of those guys sometimes take and make ludicrous shots.

Yeah but everywhere he’s been he’s been worse than several other players on his team, just by virtue of the fact that he’s worse than most NBA players. I guess it’s easier to believe it when the guys you’re worse than are MVPs and perennial all-stars and have rings, but I still think it’s a credit to the coaching…

Here’s a dumb analogy I came up with on my drive to work:

Nah, I just listen to Zach Lowe, read Albert Burneko, and watch every Warriors game

Oh man this is a good comment

Everyone who barfs out that quote knows (even if he’s deluded himself into forgetting that he knows it) that what they really mean is “these Rockets are specifically designed to have at least kinda a chance against the Warriors, if they get hot, which no one else has ever done without having Lebron James on their…

Speaking of contested jumpers, can we talk about how in the world Steve Kerr has managed to get Nick Young to (mostly) take good shots?

Chris Paul is still, even at this stage in his career, the best in the league at getting into the paint and somehow finding an open 10-footer despite all the bodies in the area, and he’s very efficient shooting that shot. He’s also an insanely good passer. It doesn’t look the same as how Harden does it but yes he is…

Golden State checked him just fine after his flurry in the opening minutes, generously accommodating the Rockets’ desire to match him up with Steph Curry
