chris paul sees the matrix.

i love the poker analogy, and use it all the time. just because some drunk college kid sucks out on the river doesn't mean you shouldn't have pushed with position and the best hand.

don't know what you're talking about. this is the best thing i've ever seen.

and how little it takes to claim contention in the east. you don't have to be good, or even merely mediocre; just don't fully suck ass.

he was never going to stick at catcher; still won't. but he will murder all your lefties.

and in 2018, there will be . . . ROLLERBALL.

jokes aside, with fewer parents allowing kids to play football - and with the game as fiscally strong as ever - i figure we're just a few years away from compelling convicts to suit up and crush each other on sundays.

how fucked up do you have to be to shoot down your man doing a scene with an animated edna krabappel?

you can say it "seemed" like he only hit in garbage time, or you can check his high leverage, late & close, and risp splits for those seasons. all stellar. ditto his overall postseason numbers. you're a victim of confirmation bias. you're not the only one, but it's just lazy.

h/t grandmaster flash.

somebody got a thesaurus for christmas.

baseball used to be good times. moar steroids please.

where do you get that he inferred - or even implied, as i suspect you meant to say - any such thing?

meanwhile, here on the manhattan side, the gentrifiers themselves - mostly bar owners, it appears - are spearheading the greening of the east river park, home to the vital felix millan little league.

exactly. a drunken fratboy can push all-in and suck out with a two-outer on the river; but you still raise with position and the best hand, because you'll win most of the time.

i love math, and i love advanced metrics (though in my experience i've found they don't afford the insights and projections for hoop nearly as elegantly as for baseball).

he may be a fat greasy short-dicked troll that no woman would ever want, but you've got a goatee.

quickest way to get rid of a friend is to loan him money.

yeah, i have a couple of guy friends in the east village with that same jayson williams story, only with cocaine and proposals of a "jacking off contest."

he looks irish.
