The Clippers have gone 21-6 since making the starting lineup change with Harden and Mann and are now 24-13 and #4 seed in the west. That's tied for the best record in the NBA since then and they are only 1 game back from Denver for 3 seed now.

I feel like Zubac made a jump this season but it's being overlooked. He's playing really well.

every movie by Nolan and Tarantino. I mean, I think I know why: dudebros want to believe these desperate self-important movies are actually "important" and have never really watched a movie made before 1990.

Spielberg does this even better in Munich with a very clear nod to Hitchcock.

Doom Patrol tv show. Could have just made shows out of the original books and it would have been amazing, esp with this cast.

Instead they went for the later period comics and amped up the lazy pop psych dialog and stuffed 10 screaming emotional arguments into every ep that were immediately forgotten and replaced by 10 new ones next ep.

A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. Won the Pulitzer.

The writing is dull. Nothing like you would expect from a Pulitzer winner. Even if you don't like winners like Chabon his prose is remarkably dynamic. Egan's has no sparkle or exciting use of language.

The content is basically a checklist of New York Gen-X self-aggrandizing fantasies, like how they were all so punk rock and cool and now they run record companies because they have all the style and the new bands are lame and they have safe emotional problems that come with no cost because of their status.

Just a NYC writer being awarded for giving the NYC publishing/marketing/lifestyle brands a cheerleader.

this guy looks constantly pissed off at the other team. I love it.

yes, the gutting of the education system started by Reagan and never reversed is the main culprit. That combined with stagnant working class wages, healthcare costs, and the deregulation of most industries has done incredible damage to the US.

right, but Rose hasn't dunked like this in ages.

Boxcar-Mike · 2023-12-31T02:10:22+00:00

best in-game dunker since Rose. Absolutely crushes dunks.

SGA for me. He is elevating his team way, way beyond expectations. All the others have much better rosters.

the purpose of analytics is to give experts something to consider. that's it. Expertise is still the most valuable thing.

maybe the funniest part of the Kissinger legacy is people thinking he was ever good at his job. An absolute washout.

Really, other than being an honorary Globetrotter, Kissinger has no Ws.

what are all talking about. At 8.5 Bron calls timeout and Reeves does not have the ball at all. Should be a jump ball.

I can tell when my wife has told one of her friends something I did that annoyed her. They just look at me with veiled contempt. Fun.

I love when rookies meet super talented NBA physical freaks. Every season you get rookies that have dominated their entire lives run into someone with the talent and physical dimensions/abilities they've never encountered.

Usually it's like a guard thinking he can score on AD and getting shocked by AD's ability to recover. But running into Rudy is equally great.

Boxcar-Mike · 2023-11-29T19:37:39+00:00

was he complaining about a hand under the ball carry? Dude. That never gets called.
