{UPDATE} Editor’s note: On July 16, we posted an article on Ezekiel Elliot that fell far short of our editorial standards, which are written on this here cocktail napkin. We take domestic violence matters seriously, how could we not, SB stands for “Seriously, Bro.” Finally, we realized “Blogging the Boys” infringed on…

Celebrity have been running for office for a long time. Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwartenzer, Jesse Ventura, Al Franken and Fred Thompson come to mind.

We’re living in The Upside Down.

How could somebody pay for $110 to watch a serial abuser use a brain-scrambled dipshit as a human punching bag (in high def)? How do Adam Sandler movies make money? How can I make $5500/week working from home just like my aunt, ask me how.

Note to self: run NBA-related scams on Hong Kongers.

If the past year or two have made anything clear, it’s that despite their best efforts, there’s a lot to dislike about people.

Sorry, should have been more clear.

In America’s largest metro area, the words “KNICKS TICKETS” still have pretty huge pull. A game at MSG is still a pretty great spectacle regardless...and Dolan owns the arena, so fewer lease issues. It also doesn’t hurt that NYC’s other team is circling the bowl.

Not to mention, if you run the numbers, it’s likely what, a two win difference maybe? Yet all that work to integrate a new guy who you don’t even need. And agreed on the chemistry issues you mention: shipping out a quality team player for basically no reason.

Ingram is a perfect example of too much too soon. He has huuuuge holes in his game that need work but by the second half of the year he essentially stopped trying and settled for garbage stats.

He might still suck. Noels may never develop an outside game, Okafor might never learn basic team defense. But the thing is, they never had a shot in Philly. There was no emphasis on player development, they were mistakenly regarded as a failed fixed asset.

“He’s already got a nose for finishing around the hoop.”

I concur, and can speak from authority as someone who has guided multiple franchises to NBA Championships in NBA 2K on difficulty levels up to and including All Star.

Then balance the ticket with youth.

Rookie-averse NBA coaches kind of annoy me. These kids are not going to learn how to be NBA players through practices alone. They need game reps against real competition and time to make mistakes. If all they’re getting is a few minutes of garbage time, playing against the other team’s trash, it’s going to hamper…

And this is what I’m talking about. Trump will be 74, and his supporters aren’t using that as a reason not to vote for him. Instead of looking at the actual candidate we’re using arbitrary metrics. What’s Joe Biden’s 40 time? Not elite.

I haven’t seen a Dallas talent finish around the rim like that since Debbie.

Democrat? Republican? Lemon Party!

I’m not saying Thompson doesn’t like to shoot. But we have several seasons worth of evidence that he fits very well, and without any significant complaint, into an offense where he’s often the third or fourth option. We have several seasons of evidence that George bristles the minute he’s not the first option. I’m not…

Straight up Kawhi-for-Klay (salary matching be damned) is a move the Warriors do 100% of the time, and Spurs do 0% of the time
