  1. The only free agent coach that I would have rated above Bud would be Rick Carlisle and Carlisle hasn't won a playoff series in 10 years. Who are the available coaches clearly better than Bud? List them.
    Before this year LeBron or Steph had been in 9 straight finals I believe. Would lead me to say talent rules the NBA. Make them happy. Giannis likes Bud.
    This will be unpopular but for most teams (Milwaukee excluded), I'd take Dantoni over Bud.

  2. It’s one of those old practices meant to show that it’s just a game and we should be respectful and congratulatory towards our opponents. Once one sees the reason behind the post game handshakes, one can understand why a nut punching, all around bitch like Chris Paul wouldn’t be interested in participating.
    Yeah. Maybe I'm an ok boomer. I turn 40 this year. But I always dapped the opponent up win or lose. Doesn't even have to be heartfelt or genuine but it's a nicety that keeps sports civil.

    No matter what, Chris Paul is a fuckin bitch.

  3. Switching gears.. can we talk about CP3 leaving like he did? I don't remember the finals losers completely disregarding the post-series handshakes like that. Did any of the suns go dap the Bucks guys? Am I just being a boomer guy expecting that to happen? Is Chris Paul still a passive aggressive bitch?

    Framing NY reporting as "conservative approach" after all the brain damage over the FL reporting is pretty funny. @BradInATX, come back so that we can examined the FL case/death reporting in context!

    New York takes conservative approach counting virus deaths

    ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The federal government’s count of the COVID-19 death toll in New York has 11,000 more victims than the tally publicized by the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which has stuck with a far more conservative approach to counting virus deaths.

    ...

    Other states including California, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have taken approaches in line with the CDC, which includes in fatality counts all cases where COVID-19 is an associated or contributing factor. Texas, however, only counts a COVID-19 death in cases where the death certificate lists the virus as the main cause.

    Eh. Covid sort of ended for me and my family when we got vaccinated, combined with a newborn and a deluge of work, plus the most insane period of (no politics) politics of my life ending and I ain't got time for all that. 

    I was always on record thinking Cuomo was a disingenuous idiot. Fuck him. Where I ultimately landed on covid was:

    - Politics of the states didn't really matter spread wise. Masks and policy maybe worked superficially but end of day people are going to gather privately with family and friends and spread it no matter how much they virtue signal or tout on Facebook to "mask up!!"

    - it's a shame how political the whole thing was. It's a shame how unvaccinated some areas of the country are. It was a serious thing that killed probably 700-800k people end of day in our country and it's a shame that politics caused people to downplay that many deaths. It's also a shame that the media continued to fear monger even after about May of this year (and to this day) when being vaccinated almost guarantees your safety. 

    - it did spread in schools, especially high schools. Pretending otherwise was silly. 

    - I don't really give a fuck anymore. My wife and I are vaccinated. Neither of us have risk factors. Our kids are in the age group that's more likely to drown in my pool than die of covid. It's not a thing for us anymore. I don't even know where our masks are. 

    Some day I'll look at the studies done on the data, but shit is so incomplete that I'm not ready to throw gotchas around. 

    A lot of people died. A good portion of the deaths may have been preventable, but it was never gonna happen. Way she goes.

    I'm saying Kyrie and Love have as good or better cases than Dray..... Let's not build silly narratives.

    "Kevin Love has a better case than Draymond"

    "Let's not build silly narratives"

     

    Pick one.

    On that list Klay is @ 51.2% and Dray is below 35%..... may want to sit this one out.

     

    You mean using basketball reference's "hall of Fame probability" metric isn't a reliable predictor of actual hall of Fame chances?

     

    You don't say! Amari Stoudamire isn't going to be happy with this revelation.

    Bref gives Love a 75% chance and Kyrie an 83% chance. 

    I never thought the Nets were a Finals lock. I was actually pretty nervous about them going against the Bucks and Sixers.

    Draymond is a HoFer but Kyrie and Love aren't? 

    Love isn't, obviously. Kyrie probably is, but shouldn't be.

    I should have gotten you on the hook for some cash early in the season when you were convinced the Nets were inevitable. I'll get you next season.

    i realize we're in the moment right now and hyperbole is strong, but this playoffs will be remembered for the number of big time guys who missed games (or entire series') due to injury.

    KD besting Lebron is a much bigger deal than Giannis besting Trae Young and Devin Booker.

    What KD's career has taught us is that he needs three hall of Fame teammates to beat an opponent with a single hall of famer. Two HOF teammates just doesn't cut it.

  10. On a serious note, there aren't really enough superlatives for Giannis. He's ascendant, generational, elite. What a talent, what a performance. Impossible to root against. 

    And what a playoffs. We avoided championships by nephew Kawhi, LeChina and AD, the dick kicker CP3, and the second most unlikeable team in history out in Brooklyn (nobody will beat the Kobe/Shaq//Payton/Child rapist Malone Lakers). And probably the most likeable guy in the league ascended and won the title. Fuckin awesome. My favorite playoffs outside of Spurs title runs. Basketball fuckin rules.

  11. Hearing that Brad got a vasectomy is literally the best news I have heard all week. 
    I had to unhide you on this thread because I knew you'd have something good. Don't worry my dude, you're just on ice for a little bit like my balls and my short game.

  12. Big ice is important the first few days. Then you guilt your wife into 3 weeks of blowjobs. I walked 18 Wednesday and I'm still leaning into it. How sore am I actually? That's between me and Jesus.

  13. Conversation with an in-law a few days ago, while trying to get them signed up for a vaccine: "NO, NO JOHNSON AND JOHNSON THEY ARE MAKING THEIR VACCINES OUT OF ABORTED FETUSES, THEY WOULD BE INJECTING ABORTED FETUSES INTO ME!"
     
    One of my old salespeople lives in Garland, super Trumpy, thinks the election was stolen and all that, and only wanted J&J because it's "traditional". Whatever, put that shit in your shoulder.







  14. What the fuck is up with you? Doesn't this site want new members, posters, and traffic. I don't post in CR, because you fucking loons would crowd source me because I don't think like you and I don't have the rep to survive. And I like this place, great site with lots of knowledge, diversity, and differing opinons. I'm not a sock. I just don't agree with you. I think a grown man should be able to deal with that. 


    The fuck is up with me? I don't care about traffic. I'll never neg rep you either, you fat bastard. I'm on record in the CR as being anti-neg. Some reasonable posters have been run off. I like GRhorn and DonkeyCigars and even immortal sometimes.

    Basically, you can suck my balls guy

  15. Lulz. Thinking you deserve more. You aren’t rich. I have had people in my network literally buy a company to accelerate their time to get a covid vaccine. 
     
    most of these people had on demand covid test when none where available. If you have enough money and willing, it has been available. My friend group has been mixed on the morality. Half have stayed in their vacation home saying they refuse to use money to cut in line so they isolate while the other half literally buys a company to justify being priority 1 on the vaccine list.
