What was odd to me was the publicist #2 talking about how good of a deal it is for Tom, which I thought seemed backward. Granted she’s obviously more famous in general, but it seems like her audience is largely high school and younger crowd (is that not true?) and at some point she’s going to need to change her…

It hurts their business model if people know they are doing it. If people don’t know then their team isn’t quite as good as they thought it would be, so they need to keep spending money to get better players so they can crush worse teams like they thought they would.

It wouldn’t matter the time slot or my location, any baseball highlight show that doesn’t include Ken Griffey Jr ripping lines of blow as part of the program is never getting my viewership.

What did Dany do to gain Tyrion’s faith? Do you mean other than getting kidnapped and instead of merely escaping instead took over the entire Dothraki army. Then arrived back in Mereen just in time to save it from the Masters attack when otherwise they were totally boned? Kind of seems like that would be a pretty good…

That makes the most sense to me. Jon and Daenerys hook up, which goes well with Jon not really wanting to be the big dog that much so Dany can. Then Sansa can still take over the north, which seems to fit much better with what she actually wants now.

I mean, women ruled almost every important land at this point with the exception of Jon or Sansa now. It used to be Men > Women in GoT world, but not any more.

So Arya dressed up as one of the brothers then?

No comment on the little part, but before the North decided to follow Jon instead of Sansa every ruler in the world was female it appeared.

Part of the problem is defense in the playoffs is not the same as defense in the regular season. During the season they are largely free to run around and create havoc, but in the playoffs teams get really physical with them. Once playoff teams started to rough up the splash brothers they got knocked off their game…

They wished Barnes was a 3-and-D guy in this series, he was actually just a kind of D guy.

You’re basically the only person I’ve heard argue the second foul was bad, which makes sense because it was pretty clearly the right call. Instead of playing actual D Curry half shuffled partially in front of him and then stuck his arm out in front of him and flopped to try to get a call. It wad terrible defense with…

But were there actually expectations that Barnes would be good this series? Has he ever been good? Barnes performance in this series is much more expected than Love’s IMO. At least Love has proven to be a very good player in his career, just an awful match-up in this series. Barnes is mediocre as 4th - 6th best player…

While it was certainly a ticky-tack call at best, an MVP that already has 5 fouls has no business aggressively attacking inbounds passes with 5 minutes left in the game. He was playing really dumb most of the game with stuff like that. Same thing with his 5th on Kyrie. You already have 4 fouls, what the hell are you…

I like Bogut. He’s a little dirty, but he’s mostly a physical dirty instead of cheap shot dirty like Draymond. Plus Bogut has had to deal with a crazy amount of injuries, and seems to genuinely care more about how the team does than how he does. He’s good enough to play a lot more minutes for most teams, but couldn’t…

6 I certainly agree with being crappy, but I don’t understand people arguing the 5th one. He bodied the crap out of Kyrie while reaching reaching all the way across him to try to get to the ball. Sure he didn’t hit his arm when he tried to strip him, but he hit pretty much every other part of him. I’ve never really…

This is all 99.99% because you guys formed a union right?

I may do that. How much do you guys pay research consultants?

Maybe instead of guessing that a lot of 4-1 series have their lone loss in game 3 you should actually look up the numbers?

I’m guessing I could find a couple of judges who could certify it for you pretty easy. :)

Is part of the issue there that it’s a no fault state so even covering good drivers will likely still end up with having to shell out cash for the insurers?
