Yes? You can’t just wave them off like they’re nothing, particularly for a team with a limited number of players who can create their own shot.

The Rockets are worse than they were last year, the Warriors are better.

The salary cap didn’t “directly result” in making the NBA so top-heavy. It was an amazing confluence of circumstances that allowed it to happen, the salary cap notwithstanding.

Yes, but the point is that it will take them some time to get te functionality up and running for online betting and making sure that it’s limiting to only state residents, etc.

Here’s a pretty good Q&A on it:

Well, I don’t think there’s any disagreement that the other Cavs were historically bad against Indy, except maybe you.

Sometimes you hit shots, and sometimes you don’t. The Cavs shot 32% from 3 against Indiana and 41% against Toronto. Maybe it’s a little based on defense but the truth is always going to be somewhere in the middle. Nobody is going to shoot 41% from three as a team in the long-run (or 32% — that would’ve been worst in…

That’s part of it, but these are still small sample sizes. The Pacers played well and the non-LeBron Cavs played historically poorly against Indiana and historically well against Toronto.

Probably not accurate to say that Jeter “made the list principally because he dated a lot of famous people.”

Longer cook time =/= more work. You dump everything into a pot and then 3-5 hours later open it up and eat it.

Sorry, does the aftermath really look “brutal”?

Clearly TMZ doesn’t pay enough to allow its sources to buy good quality color scanners.

These aren’t “owners”/”shareholders” asking questions, it’s Wall Street research analysts who “cover” the company.

Hard hitting journalism in this “Lifehacker” article

Seems like all of those things are still “mental” though. Poker is a purely decision-based game for things you can control, and those decisions are all made on the basis of your assumptions and analysis of the situation.

I think the article that came out a week or two ago was about just that — the vast majority of pitchers do use substances on their arms to help them grip the ball better, most people know it and just kind of wave it off even if its forbidden by the rules. Bauer seems to be raising a bit of a stink about it, presumably…

It’s not a binary “buy DVDs or stream movies” choice. Buying movies digitally on Amazon or iTunes is considerably more convenient for viewing. You can watch them on all sorts of devices and don’t need to be tied to the DVD player or bring the DVD wherever you need to go.

It’s a pretty big story as far as baseball stories go. Now if he played for the Yankees or Boston it’d splash the front of ESPN daily, but outside of that, you won’t get that kind of MLB coverage nationally.

I’d like to lightly push back on “watching Crowder regain his Boston form”

Sounds like you’re all for restricting the use of food stamps to exclude or curtail junk food, then?
