Is “tactical officer” what the rent-a-cop sheriff’s deputies call themselves? Is that also why he’s playing dress up in full body armor like he’s being deployed to a war zone?

I’m just saying that maybe because the person has a title doesn’t mean that person doesn’t do anything wrong ever.

Not sure how to feel about including the Spurs on that list. Consistently very good over the Duncan years, but never won a back-to-back, and only even went to two straight finals one time over that period. They seemed more like the team that won the title only when there wasn’t a dynastic team actually in the league.

The Bulls went to six finals in eight years. You’re engaging in the weird fallacy (unsurprisingly held by Jordan-stans) that it’s somehow more impressive to lose before the finals than to lose in the finals.

Fuck that. Arrest the sheriff too, cause ain’t no way he didn’t place his hands on Ujiri first. Also, fuck the Alameda Sheriff’s Dept., full of wannabe police officers who were too dumb to make it to a real police department. Official rent-a-cops. 

Lol. No one is going to not sign Davis because Paul is his agent. If anything, it’s the other way, which is part of the reason the Pelicans fired Del Demps. 

Bumgarner can ride that dirt bike all he wants then, cause no chance he gets into Cooperstown unless the voters lose their mind.

I mean, that’s super reckless and dangerous, but I also laughed out loud, so. . . 

It looked to me that in playing the puck, Acciari attempted to set himself in a manner that pushed his legs backwards into the middle of the ice, where Bozak, who looked to be intending to skate by him, caught his leg. Now, maybe that is inconsequential in whether a penalty should have been called—I’m not a long-time…

Yes, because if there is any industry that in no way resembles a historical institution where young black men worked for free to enrich an older white man, it’s definitely college football. 

And add to this the increased velocity of pitchers in the sport. When I was a kid, I went with my dad and a couple friends to see the California Angels play the Rangers, because Nolan Ryan was on the mound. You could hear the sound reverberate when a fan would attempt to barehand catch a line drive into the stands.…

Because as others in this chat pointed out, the advanced stats you want to use are skewed towards specific production valuations that often correspond with limited minutes played and regress to a truer number as the counting inputs rise in value. They also tend to overvalue rebounding, which is a highly replaceable…

Yeah, you’re the one who first put forward the idea that career VORP should be used to support your roundly panned claim that Robinson is better than Tatum, Brown, Ball, Kuzma, and Ingram. So...  

Fine, by WS/48, Rudy Gobert was the third-best player in the league this year, Clint Capella was the fifth-best player, and Lebron James is worse than Andre Drummond and Hassan Whiteside.

Lol. Knicks fans are wild.

“Yes, we’d like AD, but not if it means giving up a 21-year old rookie who averaged 7pts across 20 minutes a game for the worst team in the league.”

This is the correct take on fandom and sports drafts.

Right. But that doesn’t say anything about Griffin as a GM. That trade was made a packaged basically as a condition of Lebron signing. Giving Griffin credit for that is like giving him credit for drafting Zion with the #1 pick this year - it’s something every other GM in the league does; it doesn’t do anything to…

Where are you getting this info that the Pelicans will have $20m in cap space this summer? If Randle exercises his option they’re already pushing up near the cap with the hold for the #1 pick.

I’m not saying that Griffin isn’t a good GM, but can someone tell me what exactly his accomplishments are? Because from what I can tell, they extend to being GM of a franchise when Lebron James decided to sign with said franchise and trading the No.1 pick for Kevin Love at the insistence of said Lebron James. Also,…

Their win rate with Foster officiating is a hilarious 14%, and have NEVER won with him officiating over the past 4 seasons
