I met my wife on OK Cupid and both of us were damn near ready to bail on dating apps by that point for every reason you have listed. They are a plague on our world but sometimes it works out.

Our VP of Technology is from the Dominican and makes his own hot sauce and gives it out at Christmas. It’s awesome! A few of us that love super hot stuff all will find and bring in and pass around whatever the hottest sauces we can find are and never had a problem. Then one day it happened. Someone showed up with a…

“What’s that word? Monorail!”

They could absolutely beat the Bucks if they play their best basketball. The Celtics are a more talented team 1-8.  But they won’t play their best basketball and they won’t win more than 1 game.  Also a Celtics fan.

Oh who cares. What’d he really do? Just cheat on his wife? No one got hurt by Tiger Woods. He’s a flawed man, sure, and I get people won’t like him like they did before, but does that really matter that much to you? I promise there are 5 people in your life who’ve done what Tiger did or worse.

Sure but what did Tiger really do? He cheated on his wife and got a couple minor incidents. No one was hurt physically by Tiger Woods and clearly his kids forgive him considering the reaction

I think the biggest reason is they only have 1 real star and those kinds of teams tend to eventually get slowed by a well-coached team with solid defenders over the course of a 7 game series. I like Khris Middleton as much as anyone but he’s not a title-winning #2.  They also lost very early last year so haven’t…

Like a sequel to Fury Road!

Right but they finally have a guy who seems like he was pre-ordained by God to stop those types.  Gotta get there first though.

I hope this is a joke.  Toine was drafted the year before Pierce.

Right, and Horry and Cassell were super young (I want to say rookies) in that first title.

No, we can’t.  Hakeem played both ends of the floor.  Hakeem was better.

Hakeem is clearly better. Ya, MJ was gone but here’s the roster for the first title team https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/1994.html

Clyde showed up for #2. Here’s the roster for number 1 https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/1994.html

Hakeem was in the same ballpark as a scorer and eons better as a defender and has more rings.  Hakeem is definitely better.  It’s not a discussion.

After the last few years, one year of it I think really is.  And they’re in Brooklyn - they could get a FA with a reasonable performance this year which they clearly got.  Brooklyn and the Knicks sucking is so bad for the NBA.  

The one thing that I really think about that makes Dirk greater is that year in the playoffs when TMac just owned him.  He got punked by a smaller guy.  He’d already got his set-for-life contract and was an all star.  Some guys would have settled for that but not Dirk.  He came back stronger, tougher, and better.  I…

He was the best player on both of the non-Shaq rings.  Hate dude and love to laugh at 6-24 game 7 but come on

Paul is my favorite athlete ever.  He was definitely not as good as Wade.  Pierce was great but DWade was clearly the 3rd best player in the league for a long stretch.  Wade got MVP votes damn near every year and Pierce was 7th once.  I LOVE The Truth but he ain’t on Flash’s level.

Wade was never the best player in the league.  He was the clear cut 3rd best player for a very long stretch though behind Kobe and LeBron.  That’s enough to be a god and a top 3-5 SG ever though.
