  1. Going forward with the Clippers, you really have to wonder about PG. He's 34 years old at this point and if he wants to win a title or even come close, he needs to do something this offseason with his player option. He's not winning with the Clippers and their current roster. No one in their right mind would have signed The Nephew to that new contract but they did. He played 68 games this year and that's the most games he's played since 2017. He's injured now (surprise) and he'll turn 33 this year. Even with that and Harden, they still finished middle of the pack with a likely first round exit. If he went to GS, they're contenders immediately. Bill Simmons mentioned Orlando but that seems random. My guess is Ballmer money whips him to stay in order to open the new arena. If he leaves, though, the makes the PG trade with SGA even worse than it already is.
  2. Slumpbusters. Also depends what time it is at the bar. She's a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2.
  3. The police "weren't doing anything." Police is plural. The "policeman" is singular. Goddamnit.....
  4. Must have told them there was a black guy in there with expired tags or something.
  5. If it goes to a Game 7, that will be on Sunday May 5th. Winner then turns around and plays at OKC on Tuesday, May 7th with OKC having like a week off.
  6. He's also a guy with 10 kids or something that doesn't spend any time with any of his kids weighing in about what it takes to have a kid.
  7. I just watched Lu Dort completely destroy Brandon Ingram’s trade value. Jeez. Dude worked a clinic.
  8. Porn back then was pretty basic, though, even the movies. Fairly basic sex. It’s the Wild West now…..
  9. A "Suns source" = Kevin Durant
  10. Most definitely. It's one wrinkle to the story about whoring going down that I find interesting. They're saying in person spending is down because younger generations aren't into sex as much as the boomers but online porn is a huge business. So, is it just laziness and/or fear of dealing with a woman in person?
  11. Just got back after seeing it. There were audible gasps in the theater about the Plemmons character. However, shit like that happened in the Civil War here and others around the world. Towards the end, it turns into a lawless wasteland and people start doing what they want regardless of the depravity. I'd also echo what others said. The movie does a good job of straddling the sides to where you're really not sure who is who but that's the point. You're left to fill in the blanks. It's also a love letter and a nod to war correspondents. They're not there to parse the issues. They're there to report the story and get the pictures and that's what the main characters are doing here. There's never any talk while driving about the drivers of the civil war in question. It's just how to do their job. The combat scenes were on point.
  12. Of course..... Odds of Paul George bolting after this year for maybe Golden State? He's never winning anything on the Clippers with The Nephew.
  13. They can throw three elite level wing defenders out there in SGA, Dort, and Cason Wallace. They're eating BI and McCollum up. BI can't even get shots up over Dort.
  14. This thread on Twitter parallels this but from the whore realm. She makes the case that one reason women are leaving the profession is because of decreased demand due to generational differences regarding sex. Interesting angle that I never really thought of. The Boomers were huge and seemingly DTF. Gen X, while still DTF, is significantly smaller, but the Millenialls and younger just aren't as DTF.
  15. Started this thread as a sociological discussion and it's turned into a Dear Penthouse forum....
  16. I completely agree. I'm curious on the cross tabs on this virginity thing. How many of the virgins never went to college? My guess is that it's a lot. They either didn't go or went and washed out and as a result of both, their financial future is bleak and as a result of that, they're not meeting girls.
  17. God, that's a sad story. Either that or he's using the archetype of the "unattainable women" to shield him from real intimacy. He's comfortable in his life for some reason and waiting for "The One" gives him a pass. (Plenty of people do this.) A theme in this thread is unrealistic expectations but that's natural for most everyone and not exclusive to gender. I hear men bitching about women's expectations, but then you got men who want a hot girl, good job, likes sports, great sense of humor, blah, blah, blah, and meanwhile they're just some guy.
  18. Derek Thompson of the Ringer did a really good podcast about that. Gender Wars Within Gen Z: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gender-war-within-gen-z/id1594471023?i=1000644344517 He profiles young men in the US, Europe and South Korea for different reasons. In each case, there was a level of male entitlement both economically and sexually that was not being met. He made the point that the upscale men aren't as angsty because they have options in both. Whereas, the working class men were angry because of failed expectations. (The women did not have the same level of entitlement and in the US, it was white males for obvious reasons.) He then gets into the self sorting. I do think he's onto something. The young men are falling behind in society for reasons mostly their fault but they don't see it that way. As a result, they're behind economically and can't get women. The pod is worth a listen. I thought it was only going on here but it's going on all over the first world.
  19. I found this chart. Does anyone besides me find this troubling? Granted, its from 2018, but I can't imagine the trend is any different now. Also, 30% is now low and 30 years old is not young. That being said, I'd point to the rise of smart phones and internet porn being ubiquitous as the beginning in 2008 as the main drivers. That's obvious, though. However, is this harmful to society as a whole? I know the Baptists who want to police our tingly parts to make sure they don't touch may like this trend but let's look at the other side. I've seen some data about how young men and women are starting to self segregate with various factors. (Politics, education, etc.) We watched "Girls State" on Apple and it touched on this. They were on the same campus as Boys State but it was like watching two different universes. You could tell the girls didn't want anything to do with them. When you get past smart phones and the internet, what's puzzles me is how young men just aren't interested in getting laid, to be blunt. Back in the Gen X days, literally everything we did was in order to get girls. Get a job, get a car, drive, go to college, make money, stay in shape, etc. were ALL to get girls. It was rare if you were still a virgin at 18 and especially if you still were in college. When you take away that ambition as a heterosexual (and maybe homosexual) male, there is no reason to get off your mom's couch and put down the controller. I think there are long term downsides to this, though. With the self sorting and the lack of ambition by young men to get women, you'll see marriage rates and household formation plummet even more than what they are now. More troublesome, though, is we'll have an entire generation of angry incels, if we're not there already. They'll blame the women (of course). It can't be their fault they can't get a girl. They'll just get angrier. I saw a stat a few weeks ago that I'm sure I could dig up if I wanted that said the % of Gen Z women that identified as bi-sexual FAR outstripped women from other generations and then Gen Z men as well. I took that to mean as the young men were so unimpressive that they were willing to give the other team a try even if they'd prefer to find a man. This is also at a time where it's easier than it ever has been to get laid through dating apps, internet, etc. If I were single and had nothing on my radar, I could prolly get laid within a week and get married in six months. I might not like how that ends up but the point is that it's easy if you're motivated and have just a little bit of skill. Thoughts from this august body of mostly older (Gen X and above) men?
  20. Does anyone else think Boston would lose not only to Denver but also OKC, Minny, and maybe the Clippers?
  21. That was a key move but they also just have better shooters now than they did then. Worst shooters for them now are Giddey and Dory and they're not terrible, whereas those teams in the past would have 2-3 guys at a time on the court who lacked basic offensive skills. (The Presti archetype was a shooting guard who couldn't shoot.)
