A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

gotta be the first and hope the video of you burning your jersey makes sports center or goes viral.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The most tepid of jersey burnings I've ever seen.

What I'd really like to see is the followup video of the hungover jersey burner cleaning up the mess that makes in the morning. That stuff definitely doesn't burn down into a nice neat little ash pile

I don't really know what Utah does from here, they're kinda hosed barring a big breakout from Hood or Exum. They can't get Big free agents so they understandably put all their eggs in the Hayward basket and got burned. They'll still be competitive as long as Gobert is healthy but the offense is gonna be so bad. With Hayward they had a chance at like 3-4 seed but without they're gonna be fighting it out for the 8.

E: I'm not surprised they're taking a run at Porter because they've wanted a credible stretch 4 forever but Washington is going to match so it seems kinda pointless.

Utah's next step is to not be Utah.

Ainge could have had Butler/PG to go with Hayward and get a legit chance at winning something but he just wouldn't trade away any of those picks.

There is a lot about the universe that nobody understands. If you can explain dark matter and dark energy to me I will give you :10bux: :20bux:.

From what I've read, a lot of the higher-order physics stuff is simply not conceivable (I'd prefer to call it "not conceptualizable" but that's not a word) by our 3D-space-in-monodirectional-time-understanding minds, so it comes down to faith in the math and the experimental results.

I like using Vector Addition in N > 3 dimensions as a basic example for that sort of thing. The rules for Vector addition in 2D are relatively trivial, and moving it to 3D is just including another set of coordinates. It still makes sense in physical space. You can do the math, and you can see it in front of you, and you can do either of those things independently. Move it up to 4D and it's only another set of coordinates, the math is longer but not really that much more complicated, and yet it's unlikely any human being will be able to hold in their head a conception of the things you are now working with.

It super annoying because it really does defy analogy--there's nothing like it in our sense of the universe. It's just some Stuff that appears to be there because it fits the numbers. Like a graviton--gravitons might not even exist, all kinds of physicists don't think they do, but they work with the math when you're trying to atomize a single unit of gravity, so it's accepted.


I don't see why they should let the color of his skin stop them. That would be racist!

They could have worked out Butler/George along with Hayward. Would have actually allowed them to compete for a title.

Indiana just didn't want to wait a week it seems. Surely even an Ainge low ball offer would have been a lot better than what they got. Crowder, Smart and the Memphis pick?

Doesn't Porter have an existing offer with the Kings for more than that? Did that just disappear or something. I thought that was the offer the Wizards had a few days to match.
