    So?

    There's also a large portion that have about as progressive views as you can. I thought diversity was a good thing. I would put diversity of thought in that bucket as well.

     

    In an ideal world, universities encourage that sort of thing.

    You guys don't make fun of texags and "aggys" solely because of their values and opinions. You make fun of them because they arrived at those beliefs by being some of the most persecution complex, afraid of their own shadow, delusional, conformation bias, unintellectually curious mother fuckers on the planet.

    No, universities should not encourage "that sort of thing".

    Does anyone else think Boston would lose not only to Denver but also OKC, Minny, and maybe the Clippers?

    We do this every year. Miami is a really, really tough out every single year without fail, regardless of seeding. They were the only team to win a game in Denver in last year's playoffs. Obviously, Boston struggles to match their intesity game in and game out. But I'd still favor the Celtics over any team not defending their championship.

    I'm not really a Stern guy, but what makes him one of the most removed and protected individuals on the planet? Any moreso than any great interviewer was, like Larry King, etc?

    Hasn't he basically been a shut in for over a decade, amplified to 11 in 2020? But I'm only passing along what I've casually overheard/read, so I know jack shit about what I'm talking about and will shut up now. Delete user.

    Stern has a wide cross section of blue and white collar listeners that are important to appeal to. I think it's a wise interview.  

    That's fair. I'm certainly no Howard Stern historian, but I thought it was pretty widely known that he's gone off the deep end a little since COVID and his political leanings aren't exactly subtle. If the remaining audience is broader than I'm giving them credit for, all good. Nothing wrong with a relatively "safe" interview.

    Lebron about to add yet another sweep and yet another first round exit to his resume. Impressive stuff. 

    Only the second time in 20 years (2021) that neither LeBron or Steph have won a playoff series. End of an era. One team is probably going to rebuild; the other team should, but can't/won't.

    Watch OKC offer some package of firsts and players (not the big 3) and nab him after next season.  Suns then restart with that and Booker or trade Booker and restart with all of that.

    Kinda where I'm at. What are the chances he ends up back in OKC in the next year or two? At least 40% yeah?

    Um. No. They traded JA to get Harden. And likely would have won the title in '21 if Kyrie doesn't get hurt. 

    Apologies, forgot that Allen and Jordan did actually play together during Durant's injury year. But the writing was in the wall that they weren't going to re-sign Allen when they brought in Jordan for 4 years at KD's behest. Allen was getting traded in 2020 with or without Harden. They obviously weren't going to commit $30M to centers in 2021.

    Beal didn't cost them any depth. It cost them picks and a luxury tax bill. PHO depth is better this season than it was last season. With a straight face you're going to tell me you'd take CP, Ayton and Shamet over Beal, Nurkic and Allen? They won 4 more games than they did last season against a tougher conference.

    Beal cost them any and all reasonable mechanisms to acquire quality depth now and in the future. Not exactly a controversial take. Which would be fine if a core of KD/Booker/Beal could be legit championship contenders. But they're not. They gave up a haul and destroyed their cap flexibility for a C-tier star.

    Durant gonna ask for another trade.  

    Maybe he'll go to a team with 2-3 of his friends.  They'll all be wing players.  No depth.  He'll wonder why he can't win there and then go somewhere else.

    I mean, you're not wrong: he has to wear some of this. As much shit as LeBron gets for his movements and GM skills, KD has been much worse. Hitched his wagon to Kyrie by following him to Brooklyn, brought in his friend washed DeAndre Jordan at the expense of Jared Allen, told the Nets to go get Harden, demanded a trade unless Nash (his guy from Golden State) was fired, rescinded that trade request, demanded another trade request after Nash was ultimately fired, then signed off on going all in on Bradley fucking Beal and his redundant skillset at the expense of any and all depth.

    In his defense, it was an atrocious call. I couldn't believe they overturned that. Now you can just smack a guy in the head after the ball leaves his hand? 

    He also has an And-1 called for him on his step through jumper after his two 3's where the only contact that could even be argued was a slight grazing of legs. It usually evens out; well, more than evens out when we're talking about the Lakers.

    One of the jurors gets their news from Truth Social. He ain’t getting convicted 

    You wonder if any of the right-leaning jurors in this trial and Trump's upcoming ones are keenly aware of the instant stardom and potential financial benefits they'd receive from right wing media for being "the hung juror".

    IIRC Johnny Hatecrime wasn't a fan of black people in general, so I very much doubt he follows LeBron at all.

    Cute, but Johnny is absolutely the kind of person that still shows people that he had LeBron's phone number in his phone for one fleeting moment, 26 LeBron phone changes ago.
