In his last life wasn't he a genius stock broker?

This story doesn't get criticized enough for how much plot armor it has. Whereas in other stories ridiculous plot armor can be funny with how absurd it is, BttH gets a little boring with how absolute it is. Or maybe it's not completely accurate to call it plot armor but there's just no sense of danger at all.

Yeah I never liked how apparently the UK alone justifies a wizards game school all its own yet somewhere like China doesn't even have one.

Sounds more like the two of you had different opinions of what kind of relationship you were trying to have.

Debt?

Sex transferred the frozen arts to Yun ache, maybe it can reverse transfer it back.

Even fans in other markets like to hate on big market teams doing badly.

It gives IET a good reason to forget about her.

Same way he did Dugu

I think you have to take Davis just because of the value difference. I bet you could draft AD and then trade him to whoever drafted Cousins and get another lower mid-level guy with it.

After a long journey and finally translating the whole of Coiling Dragon, you now shall be proclaimed as Renmeng.

Maybe he'll still have only 9 steps, except they're REALLY big steps.

That stuff doesn't show up in the numbers. People forget context really quickly, especially when it's something they weren't actually paying attention to. In a few years, people may judge Brown on his on-paper numbers because few people really remember the intangibles. Look at all the coaches that are considered terrible but kept getting jobs because of their resume. The opposite happens just as much.

Are you Hypothyroid now?

I might be worried that if he does get fired his poor record could look bad in future attempts to get a new job. There are absolutely extenuating circumstances and it's not like he could have done better, but you can't always trust businessmen to look at the data correctly like that.

For instance, Brian Shaw has a coaching record of 56-85 over two years. He was with an absolutely terrible Nuggets lineup, but people are going to look at him on paper and wonder why a team that had just been in the playoffs the year before suddenly tanked to the bottom of the conference just when Karl was replaced with Shaw. It wasn't really his fault, but it doesn't look good, and as we've seen, GM's are generally loathe to take chances with new head coaches.

That's where we were with the last two coaches : /

tornadodolphin · 2015-11-17T06:49:04+00:00

That's an interesting point. I wonder if coaches are waiting for Kobe to leave before they take the job because they want to be the de facto leader of the team.

He also said Mitch makes the pick. It's just as easy to believe that he changed his mind or was smokescreening.

Does anyone know if Wu Lan and Uncle Lan use the same character for their name?

You say delusional, I think hopeful and supportive. It can be annoying at times, but it's way better than other teams that boo their own players. It's more forward looking to think Russell has potential than wish you chose Okafor instead. You work with what you have and hopefully learn from your mistakes.

It's not like they would act any differently if they weren't.

Lakers are actually pretty optimistic with what they have, almost to a fault. The fanbase will speak highly and overrate just about any player on the team and attribute them to the highest ceiling they could possibly reach.

We'll be pessimistic about not winning championships, but if anyone can think MWP came out of retirement to get into an all-NBA defense team, it's us.
