    Once again another dipshit conflating stealing signs within the confines of the game to a an all out scouting scheme of recording and syncing signals to film. Michigan's performance vs spread before and after scheme started says it matters.

     

    The bolded is you.....so fucking stupid for even typing out that dogshit paragraph. 

    I am intentionally conflating them because they are the same fucking thing. Of course it matters. Why is it illegal?

  2. I feel the same about this as I do about sign stealing in baseball or any sport. It makes no sense for this to be illegal. One team can communicate with secret signals but the other team can't try to figure out the system? So stupid. You can watch hours and hours of video of players from dozens of angles but you can't watch the coaches? So stupid.

  3. I stand by it. Are you telling me that game on the line, crunch time, you are sitting there nonplussed b/c you know James is about to win the game for his team? Has it happened? Sure. Is it SOP for his teams? Absolutely not, and moreover, never has been.

  4. Lebron's greatness is real, but his "dominance" is not. I've never seen Lebron single-handedly take over and win a game the way MJ did on the regular. I don't think KD takes that Cavs team to the finals, but he might have won more in Miami than Lebron did.

    Yes! This is the trade I’ve been waiting for. There is no player to truly stick a knife in any team culture and destroy the postseason quite like James Edward Harden Jr. The Clippers now have all the injury prone stars and malcontents. The only ways this ends in a championship will be an act of God, charity for all the money James has given single mothers over the years.

    You mean there's no possible way they could still trade for Kyrie?

  6. There are a lot of videos on YouTube compiling Larry Bird trash talking stories. One was him bullying some rookie guarding him. Larry pulled up from half court in the middle of the game. He told the rookie "bet you can't do this" and air balled by a lot. The rookie was like "I can definitely do that." Bird says "no, I'm staying in the game." Even Bird would get pulled for that shit Jordan Poole did

    Not false:

    In common usage, plurality means less than a majority. I don't think calling more than a quarter of the electorate a plurality is, as you blurt, false.

    I'd be glad if others weighed in on this. If I am indeed using the word incorrectly, I'd like to cease doing so. 

    Yes, it means less than a majority but still more than anyone else. That has never been the case for this tub of goo.

    A large plurality of the electorate supports Donald Trump to be president. 

    False. Donald Trump has never won a popular vote. In a two candidate race a plurality cannot exist except when also being an outright majority (considering only active voters not eligible voters who may not have participated).

    Why on earth would even Big Shot's mom celebrate him squandering his talents? You can't even get a diss right

    The "maybe" was shorthand for explaining this would apply only in the case where she thought her baby would have been the greatest if only the coaches in his way hadn't favored other players and the refs always treated him worse than the other players otherwise he would have made MJ look like a joke. I don't know his momma so I have no idea if this was her attitude or not, though it is a common attitude among sports mommas.

    I read somewhere that 1 percent of doctors generate something like 1/3 of all malpractice claims, but Im probably naive to think that data could tell us anything.

    So what exactly do you think that data tells you? It tells me that the bad doctors get held to account. That's quite different than saying all doctors subject to lawsuits are bad doctors. It's also kind of weird to blame doctors for lobbying in their interests while it was ultimately the legislature that had to enact that rule.

    Yeah that's not a great takeaway from that podcast as other than the two who pursued it the doctors he worked with did nothing and kept their mouth shut, but either way -  I'll never forget the way Doctors worked in Texas to change the law to cap how much damage a bad doctor could be exposed to if they really hurt someone. That's a direct subsidy to carriers who insure bad doctors.

    Your definition of bad doctor is naive.

    It is the exact problem that people have with doctors - that once you join this exclusive club nobody cares how you behave or how poorly you treat the profession as long as you dress the part.  

    WTF are you talking about? Bad doctors get handled with prejudice, as they should. That whole doctor death podcast deal highlighted that basically it was hospital administrators ignoring the other doctors that let him continue his crimes. Once they actually accepted the concerns of the other doctors he went into the criminal justice system and was punished to the full extent allowed but law. 

  13. Watching the two PHX games I'm struck by how awful Grayson Allen looks. I never expected him to be a great or even good pro, but he's terrible. Whatever athleticism he had seems to have evaporated. He's got lead in his shoes, totally unable to stay in front of anyone. He's not a "smart heady player from Duke" either. He's constantly lost on defense. He's not a good enough shooter to make up for these deficiencies. I guess at least he hasn't tripped KD yet.
