So you’re theory is that most GMs evaluate a player by seeing how much he can dunk on Orlando’s 22nd best player? You might as well just watch them play NBA2016.

That could still happen.

How do you figure? The US is more competitive in soccer than the entire rest of the world is at basketball.* And nobody says that teams like Germany or Serbia aren’t “competitive” in basketball, even though they have as much chance of winning any championship as you and any 4 of your friends do.

GODDAMIT LEBRON DON’T KEEP CAPPING C

That, uh, wasn’t me. Not a once have I said anything is bad or good or made any sort of value judgment about anything. That was you, reading all sorts of values into “masculine” and “feminine” that don’t mean anything to anyone except you. I also didn’t say that Tig looks masculine. I didn’t comment on how she looks…

How many ways do you want to hear “Yes?” You and I both know that if you see a bunch of Tri Delts going to the formal you’re not going to say, “Wow, what a bunch of masculine looking girls.” And if you did, everybody would say, “Christ, what’s wrong with you?” Hell, Tig would. That’s nuts.

And lose by 20? Probably.

I understand what you’re trying to say, and of course we shouldn’t pigeon hole people into categories based on dress and so on. But there’s a difference between acknowledging that there is a norm, an average, a common, whatever, and saying that you’re not a woman or a man unless you are the norm, the average, the…

It means having an appearance normally associated with men. C.f. feminine, having an appearance normally associated with women.

Thanks for the input, LeBron’s mom.

Fuck that guy. Hope he lost some teeth.

Keep in mind the Court didn’t say open carry was protected; it simply said open carry wasn’t AT ISSUE. There’s still hope that open carry also can be banned.

100% sure it will be sustained. At worse the Supreme Court is 4-4.

It’s hard to imagine the West team they match up well with. OKC? San Antonio? The Clips have as bad a bench, but the Clippers starting 5 is much better. Portland is deeper and plays basically the same ball-movement offense and quick-switch, interchangeable defense as Golden State.

What’s up, LeBron’s mom?

If it takes more than 7 words for anybody to explain why something is even “art,” it isn’t art.

.1% is a counting error. 1% is a reasonable margin of victory - that means you won 50%-49%. That’s more than Gore beat Bush by...

2013 was an extremely low year for officer fatalities, and a relatively high year for child fatalities. There’s a reason he didn’t cite to 2012, 2014, or 2015.

You make it sound like Griffin was just a slightly better version of Tebow. He wasn’t. All of his flaws were exactly the sort of things coaches work with for every QB. It’s more of a ding on Shanahan than Griffin that those were considered insolvable problems.

Wow. Guys who can hit the high 90's shouldn’t have that curve...
