11 points on 4-9 shooting, 14 boards, and 8 assists is a weird stat line for a big man, especially a “Superstar”.  He’s a weird player but I love watching him do his thing.  From your video, it sounds like the crowd loved watching too! 

I think you’re on to something. Imagine if Jokic took this off season to get in the best shape possible for his body type. He gets a bit more lean, gains visible muscle tone, and keeps the rest of his game intact.

Seems like a good place to point out that Westbrook is 6'3". Yes, his wingspan is 6-8, but he’s still “relatively normal” size. And yet, other than Iverson (who was even smaller!), I can’t recall any player in my lifetime that attacked the rim so ferociously and with such disregard for his own well being as Westbrook…

I’m gonna give one of these to my mother. Hey it’s Smeg, Ma! Perfect.

This was a delightful! Thank you for the laugh.

If this works for you, put in a good word for me on the outside!

That wreck was maddening. I can only imagine the white hot anger those riders would have felt.

I live in a rural area that is a tourist destination 6 months out of the year. Woe be unto you who runs out of something critical on a Saturday. I’ll drive 30 extra minutes to avoid the stumbling horde of out of town folks who have no concept of “other people” in their quest for Doritos and a cheap bottle of rosé.

I stand by my statement. If a woman has been grappling with other women or men, they’ve been “oil checked” and have“oil checked” their opponents (male and female) many times before.

My body type is much more basketball than wrestling, but as a JR High kid I gave it a try to see what it was all about. While I was used to the “wrestling” you do with your buddies, I wasn’t prepared for the amount of ass in the face that a typical wrestling practice provided. Safe to say I didn’t last long as a…

Yeah, every time I read a “the Warriors will turn it on when it matters and win another title” story, I think back to the Lakers. They could turn it on at will... until they couldn’t.

Grew up in Pittsburgh with no NBA team and started following the NBA as a kid when Bird and Magic came on the scene. Moved to NorCal when the Warriors were still “mediocre” and was thrilled to have a local NBA team to root for. Enjoying their current run with the knowledge that all good things come to an end at some…

I for one welcome our Greek-Freak overlords.

As a one-time Celtics fan who wishes the current iteration no ill will, I think I speak for all of us when I say “Nah, that ain’t happening”

Sorry to hear about your co-worker. Feel free to troll him with “You know, Budweiser is a terribly under-rated beer...”

Pffftt... my ukulele case has straps so I can carry it like a backpack. That’s the boss move there. I’m thinking of putting a sign on it that says “Sorry Ladies, I’m married” to avoid breaking hearts.

This is a solid and rational take. Breweries have gone through the trouble of making 20,000 different IPA’s and many (some?) of them are different. Learning the differences makes it possible for me to avoid the Pallet Wrecker DIPA and instead enjoy a nice hazy IPA .

The problem with the Warriors’ “we’ll turn it on when it matters” style is that it works... until it doesn’t. Is this the year they reach for that next gear and find it’s gone? They’re definitely top heavy, and adding Albert’s favorite cranky Australian to the team isn’t helping much with depth.

Leaping Evil Jesus... I made it as far as “lethal injection” as a cure for gays and had to tap out. How do you wade through that shit without hitting the bottle before noon?

How Gronk wasn’t also on that list of clients is beyond me. I’m surprised he didn’t LIVE at the Orchids of Asia parlor.
