I don’t know the provenance of your commenter name but I like it a lot.

Stay strong brother.

I recall reading a scout or someone along those lines saying McCants is borderline insane during his career. This seems to confirm that.

this is exactly why I’ve never dated her.

Seeing things on twitter that a Grand Jury is underway and will subpoena Trump associates. I don’t know how to post tweets here buts its breaking news on CNN. However, as a minority that has seen a million grand juries for police brutality go nowhere, I have zero hope. Grand juries go the way of prosecution most of…

Right on.

While I can’t fault your recipe, you can’t have mariquitas without green plantains.

If you want to come from the Nigerian school of fried plantain, get them when they are yellow with the stems starting to turn black and black spots on the body. It should still be firm, but yield a little to touch. You can fry them in any amount of oil, I usually try to go very light with spray oil in a cast iron…

Here in Northern Cuba (SoFla), we call them “maduros”, and sold at fast food joints.  Plantains can also be made into “tostones”, which are not sweet, but amazing in a garlic sauce. Come down any time and try.

I mean, look, Oubre deserves to get ejected and suspended. What he did is not fine. But Kelly Olynyk is a dangerous goon who is constantly doing stuff within “the context of a basketball play” that could injure someone seriously, perhaps intentionally, perhaps not. Guys like him never seem to face any punishment for…

Watch out for dihydrogen monoxide, that shit’ll get you. It dissolves nearly everything. So dangerous.

He shoved him with his shoulder? Really? Because there’s certainly no two handed shove in there. Oubre got flattened because he didn’t see the pick coming and ran headlong into Olynyk. It’s generally a good idea to look in the direction you’re about sprint in before you do so. Even the retired head of refs said that…

So true. Also, the whole “white panic” bullshit is just that...bullshit. The league started cracking down on fights as an immediate response to “Malice in the Palace”, where a standard NBA fight turned into a freaking melee with fans and players going into each other’s spaces to fight (of course, that escalated…

But..but...NBA and cringing and angry black dudes....and something.

Your hot take is actually a measured, thoughtful response, and clearly has no place here.

Hot take: Shove taking place within the context of a basketball play where the shover gets called for a foul for said act, is fine. Shove taking place after the whistle, where the shover gets a running start to exact revenge for a harder than necessary foul that was already penalized within the rules of the game, is…

Everything that happens on a basketball court is physical play

Everything that happens on a basketball court is physical play. A bounce-pass is a physical play.

Guys like Dellavedova and Olynyk are my least favorite kinds of players. Their skill is basically “who knows, I might just injure you!” While Matt Barnes and his ilk will properly goon you, Delly and Olynyk will “accidentally” shred your knee and get plaudits for their “grittiness.”

I love bourbon as much as the next American, but Mint Juleps are pure and utter shit. If you want a whiskey drink with mint, make a rye or bourbon smash.
