Smarter basketball mind between Albert and Danny Ainge? Wow, that’s a real tough one. Celts needed a bona fide superstar to make the leap to true title contender. Their only shot for that is a high lottery pick. Jimmy Butler/Cousins don’t cut it. They’re a scrappy, well coached, overachieving team, not even as…

The cash burn is certainly concerning, but the ubiquity of Uber adoption in major cities leads me to believe the revenue isn’t going anywhere. You don’t have to be profitable for a long time if revenues keep growing. If Uber was really as bad as this article describes, drivers wouldn’t be signing up and staying on…

Can anyone explain how the Bulls are the team giving up a pick in this trade? It’s actually incredible how GarPax manage to sell low on every tradable asset. Gibson should’ve been moved 5 years ago, they didn’t pull the trigger, now they leap on a dogshit offer. Gave up way to much for Doug McD in the first place,…

Wow, what a damning piece. He accepted tax breaks and bought land to try to build a stadium in downtown Detroit. He wasn’t Mother Teresa and he didn’t literally save the entire city of Detroit single-handedly. Also, he bought land and made money on real estate. Thanks for exposing the seedy underbelly of this guy’s…

You’re high, or a Celtics fan, or both, if you think that the ‘08 Celtics beat any of the championship Shaq-Kobe-Phil teams. They couldn’t handle Kobe paired with Gasol and Andrew Bynum. They’re not matching up with in his prime totally unstoppable Shaquille O’Neal.

There was no blockade in Gaza until 2007, after Hamas had been elected, to stop shipments of weapons and rockets. Egypt has a border with Gaza. Do they treat it any differently than the Israelis do? No. Israel forcibly removed settlers off of rooftops in Gaza in order to give the land over. They did not get…

MLK supported many peaceful protests like the Montgomery bus boycott, marches in Selma and many other southern cities, the March on Washington, sit-ins, etc. He didn’t advocate looting and rioting because that’s not a protest, it’s just what happens when some people realize a crowd has gotten large enough that they…

In all seriousness, where do we disagree? I assume by your post that you think the solution is for Israel to simply “end the occupation” and evacuate all the territory, and then there would be peace. Israel left Gaza and removed all the settlements there. It became a giant rocket launching pad and tunnel digging…

So I guess those facts are unreasonable?

Again, multiple investigations concluded on the basis of the testimony of multiple witnesses that Mike Brown attacked the police officer. Please don’t believe that if you do the same your skin color will save you from being shot. It’s a terrible thing that happened, but based on the evidence, I don’t think it’s fair…

Yeah, I don’t think MLK or Gandhi would agree. I hope you never need the police to help you from the “peaceful protest” of someone stealing your stuff, breaking all the windows in your house, and burning it down because they’re upset about something you had nothing to do with.

Not sure what your point about false equivalence is. I don’t excuse Nazi symbols on monuments and headstones at all. But looting isn’t an appropriate response to anything. It’s just theft from small business owners who have nothing to do with injustice against anyone. Also, do you disagree with the conclusions of…

Sorry to be that guy, but yeah, he didn’t do that on purpose. He wanted to throw it low and outside Wiggins ankle, but he pushed it a little bit and ended up going 5-hole. Still a great play, but cool out with the “no one else would even think to do that” takes because he didn’t think to do it either.

Yes, nationalizing and socializing everything always makes it better. Like in Venezuela

“Reasonable” is used a bit freely here. What should a “reasonable” person’s reaction be to multiple invasions to “drive the Jews into the sea,” decades of terrorism deliberately aimed at civilians, multiple rejections of land for peace deals that included an autonomous Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the…

Translation: you have no patience for anything except the total acceptance of the Palestinian viewpoint without any mention of Jews living in the region for thousands of years, multiple invasions to try to drive them into the sea, decades of terrorist attacks aimed at civilians, the repeated rejection of land for…

The full violent force of the state was directly solely at black people seeking justice for Mike Brown.

Any room in your “appropriate frame” for knife attacks, rocket attacks, truck attacks, suicide bombings, bus bombings, tunneling underground to murder Israelis indiscriminately, etc?

Dolan sucks, but are we sure he’s wrong about this? I’m reminded of when Skip Bayless was making pre-draft comments about Johnny Manziel having a substance abuse problem. A lot of people (including me) blew it off because Skip Bayless is an asshat - turns out he was on to something. No matter how much you hate…

Great to see that you’re literally wrong about everything Albert. He might not be a great GM (although he sure wasn’t wrong about that Porzingis pick, and I think he just wants Anthony to waive his no-trade clause so he can build around KP) but he was a great coach. Balanced huge egos and got players like Rodman who…
