Has PFT even done a political piece since he was hired by barstool? I’m guessing not considering most of their readers voted for Trump because they saw a picture of Kelsey, a Tri Delta at Arizona State, siting on top of a Yeti Cooler with a MAGA cap on.

It’s been pretty awesome watching the guy most likely to win the MVP get thumped by the guy who should win the MVP.

Russell Westbrook: “I don’t give a fuck about the line.”

I just feel sad hearing this.

We are all going to die. Why should any of us bother with training and clubs and things? Yes we train to reach levels of success but we also train because getting better at things gives us satisfaction and purpose.

I honestly don’t see why it’s such a big thing to give Kawhi the nod when he plays the level of defense that he does.

I don’t know how to quantify it in terms of the advanced metrics but is the difference in offensive output from Westbrook negated by the defense by Leonard at all?

ETA: And goddamnit, I’m not suggesting…

Interestingly, Basketball Reference likes Harden’s chances best. They’ve got Russ at fifth, in terms of likelihood to win it.

Hey, that’s a positive career trajectory then! I watch the Clippers and he is having a very good season. I don’t care what the numbers say, he plays well and he plays hard. He’s a bench guy, not a starter. He doesn’t have to have the flashiest numbers. He’s not my first choice for a backup guard, but he certainly…

I watch a lot of Clippers games and he’s looked pretty good. Everyone’s overpaid in the NBA except for superstars. Austin is not a bad player. Are there a lot of guys I’d rather have? Sure. But, he’s definitely better than a D-League player.

Those clips of Austin are from 2 years ago. He’s actually having a very good season. He’s not a bad defender and has been hitting 3's. He ain’t no all-star and never will be, but to say the only reason he’s in the league is because he plays for his father is downright wrong. The guy is a totally decent backup PG/SG.

So what’s the deal with houses when you get into super rich person territory. You end up with a 2:1 bathroom to bedroom ratio. Why is that many shitters necessary?!

I know!

Hard to believe people call you a complete shit writer Hamilton

Because you’re an asshole.

Why the fuck would you need an area roped off by velvet in your own god-damned house?

Despite the fact that Simmons has, uh, limited camera appeal...

I’d posit that the definition of “right” with the Spurs is based on the actual merits of basketball success - ball movement, spacing, unselfishness, etc. whereas the Cards definition is based more in moral piousness.

Worth pointing out that Rubio, despite having been in the NBA for what feels like an eternity, is younger than Dieng.
