Today is my birthday and I was born in 1969 and I absolutely insist this conversation cease immediately.

They are just terrible. Mistakes professionals at this level just shouldn't be making week after week.

We're really gonna get relegated aren't we?

While I would seriously consider purchasing this product, I fear the whole enterprise could wind up with you at Whipple and then...location unknown. That would be unfortunate.

I mean...I'd vote for the free drugs candidate.

We are never the best judges of ourselves.

It's SloMo

Nuggets committed to the double team on Ant with Jokic mostly. . Really causing problems.

Terrible offense from the Wolves. Nobody moving off the ball is not helping.

Good god. Can you imagine how exhausting that would be?

Not quite as good as the five minutes when we thought we were going to draft Rubio and Curry, but close.

It really is a bit of a crapshoot. I didn't find this one so tough, but there was one earlier in the week that I nearly quit on.

Absolutely. I work in customer service and my best skill is recognizing what the customer wants from me service wise. I try to train others to recognize the signs customers are giving.

It does do all of that, and seems a pretty naked attempt to split the union. It is a question though: In a system with no limit on single player earnings beyond the league salary cap, how much would A'ja Wilson get? Collier? Clark?

Political consultants.

It was the stolen robot's fault.

I dislike tanking for a number of reasons, but yes, we need to define what we object to. It's more of a continuum than an either/or thing.

I am not against either abolishing the draft altogether or de-coupling it from standings entirely.

Deleted dumb post. I would maybe stump for Winston Garland and a couple of others, but a good list.

Oops, I misread and see you have Parks and Ellis on there. Even better!

Noooo! That's what I love about the winter olympics--you are at the mercy of the elements. Sometimes you get the breaks, sometimes you don't. But it's cool that athletes not only have to be great at their sport, but also accept those factors.

Watching women's moguls from the comfort of my recliner and wondering how anyone's knees survive this.

I know the Olympic schedule is designed for reasons, but having the downhills so early seems odd to me. These are absolutely signiture events!

As long as they give out medals made of steak.

Feted Rivalry

No interest in being on the hook for $86M or whatever for Morant over two years after this season.

Ha. I suspect even Connelly knows that's a non-starter at this point.

So much this. 04 Wolves. Current iteration. Titles (I assume...) are great, but it's the journey that brings joy. I used to wonder about Warriors fans when they started winning whether the title seasons were the best part or those seasons they emerged (13-14) after years in the darkness.

Distracting myself by thinking about the Wolves today. Feels like they are pot committed after trading away Conley. Presumably they going to effort on Giannis today, but if they can't make it happen, do they have something in their back pocket?

Can't trade a rotation piece and then do nothing.

Not being a "title or bust" fan, pretty easy for me to nod along with Britt's excellent MinnPost piece yesterday. The joy is in the process for me.

But man, Giannis. Absolutely phenomenal player. The outline of the trade gives you a pretty good gambler's chance at a trophy in June 2027.

From friends there, I understand they see their activity as more properly defined as observation and also mutual aid.
