QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) You're lying on okc. The Heat did what they did because LeBron could play the four (allowing the heat to keep an extra shooter on the floor at all times) and he passes better than all but about 4 point guards. The Warriors are different. Their entire roster fits where the game is at today. There's a reason Gasol/Noah are worthless playing together. One traditional big is fine. Two? No good. And yet Gasol/Bynum was what everyone was chasing 5 years ago. If everyone tries to replicate exactly what the warriors are doing they'll end up with the poor man's warriors.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) The Heat had the talent to finish it twice... Yeah, technically the "players without positions" thing came out his last year which the heat did not finish it.

Oh my god, is nothing sacred anymore? Noise in the library? I never. I never!

This is literally the same stuff you were spouting about the heat 2 years ago (players without positions!!!). So if anything, this is what the heat/OKC started, the warriors just have the talent to finish it. Daryl morey also a big reason for this.

Yeah. Feels like the red sox buying a year too early thou

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) Pitch recognition is one of two key problems for him as a hitter, though. It's also his swing plane - he slices down on nearly everything, and when he does try to loft he tops it. Both need fixing. And none of that addresses his defense of course. I don't see him putting it together. I hope I'm wrong. But for me, if he can be optioned down to AAA, I do it. If he can't, I see if he can bring back something in trade. We'll always have that one week in august where he fixed it.

the NBA season doesn't make sense until Christmas day and onward. No idea why people always try to extrapolate in november. Last year the Kings were the hot upstarts!

Yes Curry and the Warriors are must-watch. That said I missed last nights game. Was not suprised to see 75 dropped on twolves in a half. Was surprised Garnett didn't bite someone during that.

"Guys, we are going to completely change the way we operate in order to catch up to the Warriors. Rather than draft others, we are going to draft Steph Curry. I'll let you sit and digest that."

"An email to all Missouri students Tuesday urging them to call campus police if they witness "hateful and/or hurtful speech" — even though such speech is not a crime — provided a bonus eye roll for skeptics." Yeah, sniping this absent of context that the police was at the time responding to death threats that were causing panic on campus is idiotic. It was irresponsible wording, but likely due to being written hastily in an evolving situation.

Ye, that is the dumbest thing I've ever read. It's like reading john Kass write about bicycling.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 02:03 AM) Well, heard some horrifying facts about Butler today. One of our talk shows devoted the whole show to how Missouri got played for fools. This Butler guy is not only rich, but he's a renowned activist. He goes around trying to stir up s*** and he succeeded at Mizzou. The football team thought a student was dying on a hunger strike. It turned out to be activist Butler, 26 year old spoiled rich kid Butler. WOW. MU's president and chancellor quit over some punk stirring up trouble because that's what he does. All anybody had to do was google Butler's name and MU would still have a president/chancellor. WOW. Greg this is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

I say keep tipping.

I have a hard time believing that Joes crab shack will be on the forefront of anything.

For some reason I thought i was in the catch all where the previous discussion was on real estate purchases, so I saw this and was like HOLY CRAP.

This is great discussion about great discussion.

Funny thing about privilege in wealthy black families, is its kind of equal to being in the 30k wealth level of white americans (pg 97) http://www.patricksharkey.net/images/pdf/S...ey_AJS_2014.pdf

Sweet, good luck.

Also on this story, last night was apparently pretty terrifying, as threats to students on "yikyak" caused a lockdown and a bunch of crazy rumors to fly around. I'd never heard of yikyak, but basically its an anonymous social service, which seems like a terrible idea. They found the kid who posted it today saying he was going to kill a bunch of black students.

I'm not sure Butler needs to acknowledge his white privilege because he's rich, which is what he asked of the President.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) Nice post. I'll tell you one thing. It makes me really sad a person has to go through this kind of stuff in college of all places. Some people are really raised to be pigs/assholes. It does make Mizzou seem to be a true hellhole. Kim English's comments are scary bad as well. Very sad as I mistakenly though this kind of s*** was very rare. I know growing up on the southside there were a ton of racists. When I went to Brother Rice there were a few black athletes and I know the white guys respected them. Never heard any slurs. In college I can honestly say I never heard a racial slur in four years in my fraternity and never heard of any problems on campus. Of course no blacks were in my frat and none went through rush. Literally none. MU must really have some pricks running around that campus. If its just a handful of people they are really giving their college and city a very bad name. And yet you'll never find a bigger Mizzou booster than Kim English.

Welcome to politics Greg.

Ha, I'm glad it was satire because that story does read hilariously.

Yeah there's a lot going on here. I think the group is going off the rails. I don't feel like compiling all of my responses. I hope they fire the comm professor. For the record, the comms school is NOT in the J School. Tim Tai did well in that situation, because it would be funny if it weren't so serious the idea of someone going to the most public place on campus and then demanding that no body look at them!

Honestly, my criticism is just that every piece seems to have improved, but the whole really hasn't that step forward I would expect. Our running is better, I like more of our passing game, I like our pass blocking better, but...still kinda the same point production.
