For sure! What I meant by that (and this was hardly clear) was that I’m not sure IT is an integral part of a future Celtics championship team. I mean, if he’s able to reproduce his 4th quartet numbers for a handful of consecutive years, then maybe?

Given the injury history with the Sixers young core I’d have to go with the Celtics. But it’s not an easy choice. And seeing Boston get one over on the Cavs without IT may be more than just a blip. I’m really interested to see how that situation bears out down the road.

True true. Kind of impossible to compare eras, ultimately. The fewer shots/more points metric strikes me as really awesome without being any sort of narrative changing stat. In my mind MJ is 1a and LBJ is 1b and there’s a very real chance they trade places in the next few years, rings or not.

Number of games does matter since LBJ passed MJ with 100+ fewer shots.

I would have sworn the total point stat wouldn’t scan across generations since LBJ has so many more games but he passed Jordan with 100+ fewer shots, which, damn, doesn’t seem like a huge thing but is also seriously badass.

Here is my situation. I’ve been with the same company for almost six years. Five of those years was spent with one affiliate where I accrued a TON of vacation. Now I’m with another affiliate (very different job, different boss, etc) and I’ve been going all in on my vacation and I’m really paranoid it’s making me look…

I’m all for players getting their money, and if he went that route I wouldn’t blame him. But I really doubt he leaves.

At least you’re not from D.C.

No. I don’t really care to have my opinions on representations of women in the media boiled down to “this is what got us Trump.” That argument is as petulant and misguided as it is insulting to me. I couldn’t give a fuck what you think of my language. Insinuating, like Nikki, that pointing out terrible graphic design…

Here’s where you’ve got it exactly backwards. somewhere along the way, you and Nikki (and many, many others) internalized the relentless shit posting and posturing coming from conservatives. You’ve all but turned into a self-hating leftist, wringing your hands over a really fucking basic critique of how women are…

you seem like someone who has been on the internet long enough to have seen the obvious rejoinders to your shit ass argument: it is possible to give a fuck about more than one thing at the same time. Me taking a minute of my day to comment on something like doesn’t stop me from caring about the Baltic states or…

Fantastic post on a legitimately fucked up cover. The painted feature might be the most wtf part of it for me.

I hear that, and agree.  

I think you missed the part where, underneath the dick jokes and +1s, the deadspin commentariat is actually a pretty good crowd for shooting the breeze about sports and other stuff. Just look at the responses in this thread. It’s nice to not have a take and just enjoy a conversation.

You think Houston is getting past the Spurs? Not snarking here, just loving the bball talk

Who’s a tougher matchup for the Cavs? Wizards or Celtics? Does Cleveland simply sweep either of them?

Why are you humping a huffington post article (written by some random TV writer and former political aid) that has the intellectual and empirical rigor of a boring deadspin comment (without the profanity?). Do you seriously think this half a loaf is legitimate in any fashion?

Well these jagweeds are fully in my head. Because whether or not this carefully curated quote was planned three moves ago, it fucking reads like it was planned three moves ago as a weird and sniveling way to loosen up public opposition to this nominee. See? He’s his own man! Standing up to Trump like a big boy. Fuck.

Yeah I realize I was sorta shoehorning Floyd’s situation into my still nascient understanding of the new literature. Don’t mind me!
