    Yes, we like watching basketball. We all, unilaterally, hate when players take actions with the sole intent to draw a foul with zero intent to try to make a basket.

    Good to hear. We're getting a game 7, fellas. Should be fun. 

    You guys have a great weekend.

    She is killing it. Horrible player linked to CK in college and she is running with it. I chuckle at her bad play but outside of basketball she is the smartest woman in the room concerning how she actually is as an athlete, which is nothing short of awful.

    You have to admit, she's pretty sharp. I don't follow women's basketball as much as the other sports, but just about every message board I frequent has one thread specifically dedicated to her filled with white men that can't help but share an opinion of her. She certainly appears to be living rent free.

  3. Saw it today but I can't give it a positive review. Felt the same way about his recent films. I think Anderson might be losing me. I consider Life Aquatic one of my top ten favorites and have enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited on repeated viewings, but the last few have lost me. 

    Anderson reminds me of an aging rock act that had several fantastic albums early in his career. But his albums in the past ten years or so were quickly deleted from my playlist after one spin.

    It won’t happen but here’s hoping OKC trips over their dicks and Indiana steals the NBA title. I hate the Thunder.

    Your dream might come true. They could pull off a Dallas Stars level choke job 

  5. People in the middle US are insane. I had a British boss overseas that asked how long it would take to drive from my hometown (OKC) to a co-workers (Houston). I said it would only take about 7 hours. He said....'Bloody hell....that's London to Edinburgh....one end of the UK to the other." CSB

    It’s a little more nuanced than that, but sure. He also has spanked the entire league with his more recent trades and acquisitions. Dude is a witch. 

    Without a doubt Presti regrets that Harden deal but he's been fun to watch in the meantime. Sending an aging Serge Ibaka to Orlando for Oladipo and Sabonis? Then sending them to Indiana for Paul George? Then flipping him to LA for SGA, Gallinari and 5 first-rounders? You reckon Michael Winger regrets that trade? 

    It's wild how much the Thunder catch so much hate when they're literally the blueprint for building a winning culture from the ground up. No super team (Presti tried that and failed with Russ, PG13 and Carmelo), no drama, just straight-up hard work, player development and unselfish basketball. The best defense in the NBA. 80 wins so far this year. Not bad.

    I don’t know what I was expecting from Holmgren when he came into the league but, he has the chance to be something special for a long time. 

    Holmgren drives me bonkers. There are times out there he looks like he's trying to learn how to ice skate.

    OKC vs Indiana will be the lowest rated NBA Finals in decades.
    And I don't have any issue with that.

    Don't you know, man!!  All these fouls are part of the plan to put the smallest market cities in the finals. It'll be a ratings bonanza!!!!!!!!

    One of my Dallas uncles offered to buy everyone tickets if we came up for a game so me and my oldest brother are going to drive up from Austin for game 5. (assuming no one gets swept)

    Never been to a playoff hockey game. Looking forward to it. 

    Let me know if there's a last-minute cancellation. ;) 

    Seriously though, you'll have a blast. Playoff hockey is the best hockey. 

  10. I've recently logged back into Stern after a year absence. Yeah, it's not quite the same. Enjoyed the Bill Murray interview......but I find myself listening to old clips on Youtube of the Artie years. Peak.
