Theres a guy at work that keeps telling me that Carmelo is good and the Thunder's problem is Westbrook, and that he didn't wnat a GSW/OKC first round matchup because he wants that matchup later in the playoffs. There's real people who think this way

If Kenny only drives enough that he needs to put in a quarter tank per week, then he can, like the average American, stop once per week and put in a tidy $20 to up the tank from 1/2 full to 3/4 full! Apologies if this is too controversial.

Friends I too did a double take this morning when I looked at the box score. In fact after seeing AD's points vs FGM I even tapped AD's name to open up his page to see his ft numbers for myself!

The Celtics only have to carry Kyrie for one more year, then he'll opt out and they can let him walk. After that all that's left is trading off Hayward, but some team with an expiring contract would probably be willing to give him a shot. Then they can live out these glory days of Terry the Terror and Jaylen/Jayson forever

b-minus1 posted:golden state's continued dominance terrible for the NBA, and durant signing with them was the straw that broke the camel's back. I watched the game last night and quickly realized that this is not going to be a competitive series. the warriors will win in 5 games at most, and we're going to get another warriors/cavs finals matchup for the fourth consecutive year. snore. Durant joining an already championship team with the best regular season record in history should have been vetoed by the commissioner for "basketball reasons" and Durant's portrait should have been hung on some Wall of Shame at the league office for his shameful attempt to join the team that came back from a 3-1 lead against him.

Lockback posted:Yeah, somehow "Basketball reasons" has gone from what it originally meant (We own this team, and as owners we think this trade is horseshit and are vetoing it) to somehow meaning the exact opposite in "We're the league so we veto". I'm not even sure where to start to correcting that. But if we're talking about it I'm pretty sure it actually was kind of messed up. Like, the commissioner works for the owners, and it's in the interest of the other owners for New Orleans to sit around not dealing their star player to a contender. In other words, there were conflict of interest issues in letting Stern run the team, but it couldn't just be left frozen and unable to make transactions either. So one thing the NBA said was, we'll let Dell Demps run the team as he sees fit, and they also appointed an independent team chairman. Then Demps makes this blockbuster trade, and the trade actually gets announced, only for Stern to reach back in and veto it, which is a huge deal. The league was supposed to keep the team at arms' length, but they instead vetoed the transaction and cited vague "basketball reasons" as the justification, so it's not really out of place at all to reference that when you're joking about how the league should veto a transaction for basketball reasons! Obviously it's different in that the league owned New Orleans, and they couldn't do that now, but it's worth noting other GMs, like Dan Gilbert for example, made snotty statements demanding a veto, and that Cuban had even cried over the team acquiring Carl Landry previously. Which again brings us back to the conflict of interest thing, and that the league actually shouldn't have vetoed the trade then either. Apparently "basketball reasons" made it necessary. So I think we should continue to flippantly ask the league to veto things for basketball reasons, actually. Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 16:48 on May 16, 2018 |

I saw something else about how she's from Italy and one of the accounts follows someone that tweets out inspirational religious quotes in Italian, how the accounts follow some school-related people who gave her a booster award, and how she's involved enough in basketball to have tipped Colangelo off on the ability of Dantoni.  on his wife possibly being the one behind this.
