what the gently caress....my whole belief system is shattered....

he literally quit to tweet more...and he doesn't even do it??

Anyone remotely famous has a platoon of assistants doing this kind of stuff. Lots of older famous people don't even know how to use a computer/phone.

Many thought those DJT tweets were done by him. They thought DJT knew how to use a computer or a phone.

In reality all DJT tweets are brainstormed to be as annoying and bombastic as possible just to rile up and antagonize citizens and are posted by people in their twenties. DJT has never sent a real e-mail and has only read them when they are printed out in very, very large text fonts on white paper.

As long as Kawhi remains somewhat healthy the Clippers could do it.

I read some articles recently talking about how only the elite teams were going to the bubble. However, nine of the 22 teams have a losing record. A shameful money grab.

let’s embrace debate for a minute: how many nba players is lebron james better than with only 70% lung capacity

we’ll assume this affects things like his conditioning and stamina but nothing else; he shoots the same, he passes the same, he sees the floor the same, but he can’t run out on the break and he can only play about 30 mpg (and he’s totally gassed at the end of it so no dunks at the end of the game, jump shots with no legs under them, etc etc)

It's not about changing votes, it's about stirring up your supporters for money, appearances, or sometimes even direct counter-action. It's worked like a charm during any sort of gun control conversation, and even recently with the Armed Michigan group that stormed the capital. "Blue Lives Matter" is just another buzzer to keep that hatred fueled.

Long interview but Luol Deng blames former GM Gar Forman for destroying the Bulls’ chances at winning a title. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYuNgcpe-i/

“The guy who traded me obviously ruined the team,” Deng said. “I don’t mind saying that now. I would never speak about him as a person, just the decisions he made.” Tom Thibodeau was irate that the front office opted to trade Deng rather than give him a contract extension, Deng adds.

Still better than 400+ NBA players.

Only ~6% of his FGs this year are dunks so he doesn't rely on those as much as he once did.

i dunno that those early 2010s bulls were gonna be in a position to win a title; the celtics were still good and the heat were just starting to gel, and even if derrick rose stays healthy, they struggled pretty badly with an aging nets team and would have to play either the pacers or the still pretty good celtics, then make it past the heat, and then run into the western buzzsaw of either the spurs, the thunder, or the lakers (or if things had gone their way, the grizzlies gently caress the early 2010s west was a murderer’s row)

That makes sense but is Woj's "gently caress you " really bulletin board material? I guess I feel like even in the absence of real fuel they just invent it anyway so why should Woj miss out on telling a senator to gently caress off

As a big deal? Probably not, though a quick search shows they are definitely trying to paint the NBA's support of BLM in a negative light with this and keep that in the forefront. Their target here wasn't Woj, the email was sent to Silver and others. Making a big deal about Woj is just trying to bait some bigger fish to say something.

I also notice there's a bunch of "NBA kowtowed to the Chinese government" despite the the NBA standing up for Morey's right to share his opinion and paying the price.

Because of course there is. Again, these are the same people like Senator Hawley who probably wouldn't give a flying gently caress what the Chinese government does as long as the economic relationship between China and the United States was perceived as cordial and fair.

For real we all found about his "red flag" a couple of months ago. The man travelled about 1,200 miles from Illinois to have some kind of encounters with a 14-15 year old while he was still married to his first wife in 2010, and he spent five and a half years in prison. And my SiL knew and didn't care and tried to hide the information from everyone.

It's been an amazing week.

He's putting up 26/8/11 at about 35 minutes a game this year. If you reduce his minutes to 30 and hold the percentages, he would still be the only 22/7/9 player in the league.

With the "half court only" caveat, you could knock off a couple points and assists. His rebounds could potentially improve if he was staying back on defense and never looking to run, but if you knock him down to 19/7/7, he's still only behind Luka.

You probably have to assume his defense suffers too (absolutely no chasedown blocks), so if you cut his win shares by as much as his lung capacity, his 6.65 would still put him at #21 in the league this year.
