Maybe you'd like me once we got past the lack of shared premises? Maybe some ideal of Christian Kindness, or if you're not religious perhaps a general sense of having to hold oneself to a higher standard than the rest of the mob? I don't know man we all have to find our own reasons for charity in this tough and cynical world.

That whole thing was hilarious. It took him so long to notice Green's big rear end shoe in Harden's face.

I was thinking a couple of days ago that Ibaka would be a good fit in Toronto. I'm still a huge fan of the guy and think he's a great piece for a contending team.

I've rewatched Love and Curry so many times just because it's so absurd. There are better moments but there are few that make me laugh every time.

What everyone didn't expect was the Process to end with a team of 30 some year olds playing together for the first time to a championship. It's an interesting play.

Honestly I didn't really like New Orleans when I was down there. The food was amazing but the people generally sucked and walking down any street felt like I was on the internet without my ad blocker on. Also it's an ugly as gently caress city and everything around it looks depressing as hell.

New Orleans is my favorite city in the country for so many reasons, and some people are going to make fun of you for this opinion. But it's not a city for everyone. Some people just don't connect to it and that's okay.

It'd be like any other city that isn't ideal. If you can get one great player to buy in and sell other players on it they could make it work. They would have to be smart about who they draft and they wouldn't get some free agents but it's doable.

Mexico's way less likely for the NFL just because of the number of players involved.

The Warriors are a combination of dorks, try hards, and baby men. Klay Thompson is the likable stoner.

I don't know that there's a dearth of good centers in the league, but I do think there's a dearth of good centers in the league that can play the way the league is evolving. It's no longer just an "around the basket" position.

I can't wait for the descent of this Warriors team, and for these kind of fans and people to wonder why it all fell apart. I like Kerr, I like some of the players, but the culture that's building around it is so shortsighted, and ignores how much of building a team like the Warriors did is just amazing luck.

Consistent media exposure has killed the Warriors for me. I was happy for their first win, but I just don't like the personalities of a bunch of the Warriors. And I love a ton of NBA players. I've just read or watched too many interviews that left me thinking oh this guy kinda sucks. Steve Kerr's cool though.
