and why the hell hasn't the son been tossed into a pool with all his devices, THAT's the dude who needs some bullying in this bully genre.
Was he in one single second of Season 2? Dude got the same treatment as the son in The Americans.

Kawhi is fucking absurd...but I'm still never buying a pair of New Balance basketball shoes.

My wife and I had our first last December. My wife found out the gender from a blood test early on, and the doctor told her over the phone when I wasn't even home. She told me later, we smiled and laughed and cried, and then didn't even tell family for another couple of months.
Fuck people turning every intimate, personal moment into look-at-me bullshit. 'Merica

Seriously, fuck these people. Record setting hot, dry temperatures here in California this weekend, fires are everywhere, and these fuck sticks are setting off smoke bombs for the perfect Instagram post.

PJ Tucker > Westbrook is worth discussing.
Is it? PJ is a fucking bad ass.

do you still think he's worried about his shooting percentages?
Uh, yes? It's not like he's chucking prayers against double teams. He's getting absolutely zero respect from LA and has had some wide ass open looks. He has to shoot those shots, or else the offense comes to a grinding halt. I just don't know if it's his stubbornness or the stubbornness of Houston's philosophy that's keeping him from dribbling in a few feet.

Westbrook should never shoot a 3 again. But tbf he is getting sonned at the rim every time by Lebron.
Westbrook has a pretty solid (relatively) mid-range game. LA is purposely leaving that space completely unguarded. Take a frickin' elbow jumper, man. I thought that's why they brought him in.

Houston's gonna win this one.
Dumbass.
LA really amped up their defense in the 4th. Jumping at shooters to chase them off the line, knowing they're not going to take a mid-range shot.

Feels weird to be rooting for Miami to just end it now, rather than prolonging the inevitable 2nd round defeat of the best team all season. Incredibly rare for a 60 win team to bow out this early. Historically, they're pretty much a lock to get to the conference finals, barring injury, running into prime Kevin Durant, or Baron fucking Davis.
Even Bud's star-less 60 win Hawks team got to the ECF before getting punked by LeBron.
Obviously a weird season with unusual circumstances, but someone's head is probably going to roll.

Their defensive MO is to give teams what they want from the 3 but give up nothing in the paint. They gave up the most 3's (makes and attempts) per game during the reg season.
I know exceptionally little about Milwaukee and Bud's philosophies...what's the reasoning behind this strategy?
I vaguely remember reading a couple of articles a few years ago basically saying that the analytics don't show as strong of a correlation between 3FG% and the closest defender as on other shots. And that some coaches were beginning to concede the random* nature of the 3, rather than overcommitting to stopping it. Don't think that concept ever got much traction though.
*The teams who are good at guarding the 3 (Spurs, Celtics, Warriors, etc.) somehow manage to be good at it year after year.

I know we've disagreed on this in the past and I really don't want to get into it again, but this is such horseshit. A healthy Warriors team was better than any of the Cavs' teams. They would have competed for the title every year, with or without KD. Hell, they would have won last year with a healthy Klay, despite having a shit-tastic bench because all of their cap was spent on KD and Steph.
That said, there's absolutely no way that they win 3 or go to 5 consecutive Finals without KD. But this "they would have been one and done" without KD logic is heavily flawed.
Sorry, had a little too much to drink last night. Don't want to rehash this completely hypothetical debate for the hundredth time while there are actual playoff games taking place. My bad.

It's a massive business that creates tens of thousands of jobs and keeps the lights on at Universities all over the US And those Universities are the lifeblood for hundreds of thousands of people who live and work in the towns surrounding these schools. Economies are interconnected.
I do wonder how many people advocating for cancellation of other people's livelihoods have lost their own jobs or had their businesses destroyed by doomsday predictions that still haven't come true.
CDC says this flu, on its own, has killed roughly 11,000 people in 8 months. Average age of those who died is 79 years old. Each year, roughly 36,000 people die in car wrecks. For the 0-24 age range, you're far more likely to die in a car wreck than covid. Should we stop people from driving?
If you want to quit your job for a year and wait around until the TV says it's "safe", go for it. I'm sure you can do without money for 1 year, right?
Man, I actually agree with most of this post, but when you throw in this click bait Facebook bullshit, it completely neuters the point you're trying to make.

I guess. LeBron ain't 25 anymore. He can't bang down low on both ends for 40 minutes.
I probably agree that they don't need to be running Dwight or Javale out there. But shit... their bench is pretty thin. I mean are they going to start giving JR Smith minutes and playing Waiters 25 minutes a night?
Bottom line is that AD needs to be better. He has games like tonight where he seems kind of passive and hesitant but he's shown in the past that he can turn it around.
I don't know if I'd categorize having to guard Robert Covington and Jeff Green as "banging down low" but the rest of your point stands; if they want to go more than 6 deep, someone needs minutes, and the Javale/Dwight tag team can't be too much worse than throwing even more playing time to Caruso and the lesser Morris twin.

Who cares..... Cleveland probably beats the Warriors again without KD. We've been through this.... it's all conjecture, but most of the data points to W's being one and done.

I’m not sure the lakers have enough scoring punch to keep up with the Rockets. I know they don’t if LBJ and AD are combining for 40 instead of 60 or 70.
Also it’s really silly to see them playing Howard or Javale imo. AD at the 5 and LBJ at the 4 is Plenty big enough to have a significant size advantage without degrading your skill set.
All that said Harden played at an A level tonight. Not sure if he can do that 4 or 5 more times in this series like he might have to, bc they are capable of beating Houston even when Harden has an A game.
Clips are a rolling ball of butcher knives. They might not lose 4 more games the rest of the playoffs let alone in 1 round.AD doesn't want to play the 5 because reasons.

Steve Nash has to be watching all this thinking, "Mother fuckers, I'm a two-time MVP, and helped spark the NBA's offensive revolution. But, sure, Tyronn Lue knows more about basketball than me because he won a title with Shaq and was an assistant coach in close proximity to LeBron."

LOL at this take.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply it was a dumb movie. But it was a role (teen heartthrob in a romantic lead) that he wanted to get away from quickly. He's said as much himself.
Yes, I'm aware that Leo had an impressive career up to that point. But that role had a chance of defining him if he didn't prove to be such an amazing actor in everything else he did.

To be fair to him, lots of actors take dumb roles in bad movies while trying to make it or just to get paid. He hates that role and those movies and makes fun of it as much as he can when asked about it in any interview. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt based on his other work.
Exactly. Leo in Titanic. The leads in 50 Shades (whatever the fuck their names are). Shit, I bet even Harry Potter wished he had stopped after a couple of movies.
Young actors don't really get the luxury of being picky early on. They're not going to turn down a paycheck just because the risk exists of getting type-cast from then on.

On the positive side, maybe this pandemic will serve as a wake up call to the large percentage of Americans who are categorized as obese. And we'll see widespread societal change in exercise frequency, the importance of being active with your children, less reliance on packaged foods, and portion contr....
Damnit, I almost got through it without laughing.
