Expected two things when I clicked on this:

1. For the article to be way longer than it needs to be.
2. For the article to make it feel like one of the richest and most successful teams in the world with many of its greatest players was a genuine underdog.

Not leaving disappointed.

dishonesty is the best policy. unless you’re caught. then honestyabout dishonesty is the best policy. if you can be honest about being dishonest then honestly you’re right back where you started.

“And it saddens me to say that this moment serves to remind black youths that the world cares less about them than it does other children.”

His most recent solo album, _Feature Magnetic_, is so horny it’d make R. Kelly blush. (It also features a guest verse from MF Doom that contains the phrases “Hello Kitty catsuit” and “Excelsior!” in consecutive sentences.)

Kool Keith was able to do a verse without talking about porn?

Because white supremacists are morons and their whole ideology is bullshit. It’s all made up, just like last names!

A lot of this was about the Celtics playing really bad basketball the last week or so. I they’ve now been down by at least 20 in 3 of their last 4 games and by at least 26 in back to back games.

Why is Christopher Priest treated like a footnote, here? Hudlin’s work on Black Panther wouldn’t have been possible without Priest’s groundbreaking stint on the character? Treating Priest this way is unforgivable.

As a Pats fan, I really wanted both of these to look dicey on replay. As a human being with functioning eyes and brain, both of them were unquestionably catches. The broadcasting crew seemed to want to create drama, but (and this is especially true with the Ertz play), those plays resulted in catches by any measure.…

I mean, they’re all good. But you can’t beat “bereft on the terf.” Good on ya.

GET THESE HANDS!

This. It’s not just the minutes you spend watching. It’s everything that goes with it - anticipation, social stuff, feeling like you deserve something to look forward to ... it’s the ritual as much as the drug. Hard to quit. But worth it.

This has been fascinating to me for quite some time. A huge chunk of Americans—it might well be the majority—do not see prison as rehabilitative. They have no interest in redemption, or change, or personal improvement. They view the people coming out of prison as no better than they were when they went in, no matter…

But what many people may find surprising, considering how white women have typically been front and center in the #MeToo movement, is that men of color were more likely than white women to label workplace sexual harassment as a “serious problem.”

No, but he killed the Carolinas for a while.

I guess you could say that the allegation did not survive the ground

I appreciate the work they’re putting into the game, and the work they’ve put into recreating the game is genuinely impressive, but I’m bummed the game they chose to put their time and effort into is Fallout 3, and not any other entry in the series (Brotherhood of Steel notwithstanding).

Truly baffling series of offensive posessions by the Warriors in the last 6 minutes of the 4th. A whole bunch of unnecessary, unforced turnovers and terrible shot selection. Kicking out to an ice-cold Klay rather than passing to Durant for an uncontested layup seems particularly egregious to me.

I see the resident rape apologist is out and already starred. Fantastic. Here’s why I don’t buy that men “don’t understand what’s going on with women”: because it’s bullshit. There have been multiple studies that have proven over and over again that men do understand body language and non-verbal cues, they just choose…

Enes Kanter is 16th in PER this year. Does that mean he’s better than Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard, Blake Griffin, Brad Beal, Jimmy Butler, and Karl Anthony Towns?
