Fultz isn’t exactly a can’t miss prospect, I think the Celtics at least think about it. I’d probably still take Fultz as he fills a clear need, but it depends on how you feel about the guys likely to be there at 5 and 10.

I’d love for them to package #5 and #10 to the Lakers, draft Fox over Ball, then watch the look on LaVar Ball’s face when his son gets picked by the 76ers.

If the Cavs had hung on in Game 3, they’d be heading back to Cleveland right now for a winnable Game 6.

It wouldn’t, and it would probably make super-teams more likely. What’s more, those teams would all be in big markets, so you’d never see super-teams in a place like Oakland. The Warriors pulling it off was something of a fluke, and I doubt we see it again for a long time. But this is Deadspin, so everything wrong…

Thanks, that does help. I’ll try to keep this in mind going forward.

Same here. I also deal with depression, and have found the best way to manage it is with exercise. Have a good night.

Yes, it was a joke. Admittedly in poor taste, but there was a point in that “mentally disabled” is often used in lieu of something clearly worse.

I was trying to make a joke, albeit one in admittedly poor taste.

Wait, we can’t say people with mental disabilities have mental disabilities anymore?

Can we just agree that Nadal ranks a solid 10 on the 1 - 10 false modesty scale?

I dare say we’re just not going to come to an agreement on this. I’ll just once again note that while I agree sexism plays a role in why people find her unlikable, I’m also reasonably confident that her personality and actions played a role in it, too.

Ah, got it. Didn’t know the phrase mentally disabled was frowned upon in some circles.

She was a bad candidate because she didn’t get enough of her own party to come out and vote for her in what was a very winnable election. At a time when young Democrats felt like the system was stacked against them, the Democrats offered up the ultimate connected insider candidate, who also tends to come across like a…

I’m not asking where he got the phrase mentally disabled from. The OP seems to be objecting the use of mentally disabled for someone with Asperger’s, but I couldn’t find anything in there about this man having Asperger’s. Unless the OP’s saying we should never use the phrase mentally disabled at all, which I find…

Fair enough, these are intertwined issues. I shouldn’t say she lost solely because she’s unlikable any more than others should claim she lost solely due to sexism. But I think the point stands that we should all acknowledge she was a bad candidate rather than make excuses for the loss, then focus on finding a good…

Where are you getting that from? This post states he had manic depression and schizophrenia, and it appears his own mother described him as mentally disabled.

BUT SEXISM!!!

These stories used to make me angry. Now I have a 10 week old son, and they nearly blind me with rage.

No we’re mostly sad and beaten. Annoying/angry Jets fans like the commenter above are rare.

Always love watching a commenter (you) get burned badly, then just doubling down on stupid and refusing to admit they were wrong.
