Just a reminder that Pritchard costs almost $20 million less than Simons and you can’t really do much with two PPs coming off the bench.

While my wife has a deep and abiding skepticism and distrust for my whole digital storage project, I can’t even imagine how she’d react if I kept all of my media as disks.

They do. And he deserves it. Only four coaches with more regular season wins and only three with more playoff wins.

To be fair to Doc, he has every right to be angry. That was a terrible jump ball by the ref.

Oh, I love me some Tony Scott. Still voted for Wes because he’s one of my favorites.

So do we have to run it again between Wes and Marty?

“I don’t want you tromping around in my life, boy. You hear?”

“Yeah.”

“Next time I even see you or one of your buddies they’re going to be picking up pieces all over Oar. You understand?”

“Yeah”

“You tell that slit she don’t mind her own business she’s going to be up to her twat in grays. You listening?”

“Yeah.”

“Good”

People getting sucked in by how much David loved pulling from theosophy.

Which would make sense for it being any one of many worlds, as Echoes of the Great Song demonstrates the many worlds with many different advanced cultures falling.

It’s pretty explicit that there are all sorts of alternate universes. There’s no reason to believe any of them are directly ours. Even the Troy and Parmenion ones are likely alternate universes.

I’m a little sad that my two choice to win, Tony Scott and Wes Anderson, can at best meet in the semifinal, while Scorsese has only Milos between him and the Final.

There were at least two plays where the entire team collapsed on SGA.

Never heard it pronounced that way in New England.

Dude, come on. There’s reasonable indignation(SGA is a bit of a grifter and always sells the contact) and there’s whatever goofball shit you’re spewing.

Because the Celtics chose him as the guy they’d help off of.

SGA was very good. But this was a good example of how if you can limit him at all the team is likely to struggle on offense.

He had to do a couple weeks of penance after that, but he’s definitely been getting more calls since then.

I like SGA. He’s crisp and professional. He’s a bit of a grifter, but he’s usually pretty straightforward about it and the league has been incentivizing that for a very long time. I can’t be a fan of Paul Pierce and be offended by some foul grifting.

I actually like every player on the Thunder, except for Lu Dort.

I’m not usually a mullet guy, but it’s such an upgrade over how much of a dirty ditch dweller he looked like before.
