I will happily take this but at this point I'd have to say the Pads take the cake. Too bad they play in a stadium that makes baseball as interesting as cricket.

I was thinking how odd it was that this is probably the most unrecognizeable NBA in terms of star teams in 30 years. Top Teams Golden State Atlanta Clippers Oklahoma City Toronto Portland San Antonio Memphis That is nuts. And considering ATL and Toronto, it goes to show that no matter the sport, good management can trump all. Small market, no luck in superstars, whatever. On one hand it's a testament to how good Boston/LA were.

While I would like to see more western con games, I also don't get to see them even when Bulls play. I'd prefer majority of bulls games be in eastern/central time zone.

Honestly Howard takes a huge hit from the fact that he had 2 maybe 3 dominant years. He's a shell of himself, still quite good because of his position.

There was an article that if the padres didn't sign Shields they were confident they'd have Hamels. I wonder what the package was. The padres have been maybe the most boring franchise of my lifetime. Even when they were good they were boring. It will be weird to see them interesting.

Listening to walton do UCLA games is by far the worst of all of them.

So sad about David Carr.

Can PECOTA re-run their projection?

Snell man, playing well for 4 straight games. Him being an NBA player is great news.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Apparently he was all set to sign on January 24th with a mystery team, and then it all fell apart and his agent put out a release that said he has chosen not to sign with anyone just yet, and is focusing on his recovery and gaining strength in his arm. Not something you want to hear out of a guy who has had two TJS I did not know this, that's a nice tidbit.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 10, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) Snell responding nicely. It is great that he actually looks like an NBA player now I thought Snell would be in dleague by now. Hilarious considering what a baby Bernstein is being about McDermott right now. Snell had like 8 straight DNP CD before this. Practice matters. Now we see how Snell looks with seasoning. He was raw as hell but you are nevr given up on with thibs.

More concerned with cutting down Gasol's minutes than upping Dougs.

So basically the things Boozer was terrible at on defense were more acceptable for our scheme than the things Gasol is terrible at. This is what worries me about Gasol, as Taj/Noah are no longer the closing unit, so it's really hard to get late stops without over and backs.

Or Micah, if he's not a starter at that point.

At least Dunleavy was in shootaround. I remember when I was relieved when he said it was just a jam. 4 weeks later...

They should treat heaves like sac flys

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 04:01 PM) Ah I'm not too far from there now. I'm in Old Irving Park/Avondale. Do you have a lot of permit parking near your place or is it mostly street? There is some permit by the cali blue, but that's 5 or so blocks north. It's all street parking. There's occasionally shortages on our block, but for the most part it's easy to park. Except when people claim 40 feet for their sedan via DIBS.

I contacted my alderman. It is a losing battle that I am fighting via example. I will have a garage before I win this.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) So because you don't believe in dibs, you didn't put anything there? Correct.

It shows the futility of "winning" an argument with these people when something like "they treated my dad for ulcers incorrectly" as an absolute against biology and medicinal science, but the millions and millions of cases of the success and improved health outcomes are proof of nothing.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) I probably would see red if I caught someone doing that. I'm surprised you didn't light him up. Unfortunately did not see anyone, just that there is now a huge garbage can and chair in that spot.

realizing that all my favorite blogs are now gone. It was a slow march. I'm most sad about what TPM has become. What once was a hard hitting investigative and insightful sight, has now become huffpo light. Marshall barely blogs. A commentor said it best on a really s*** article about MLK's mother being shot, calling it "the salonification of TPM". It hit the nail on the head. All it is now is John Oliver/Daily show clips, "wacky republican quote" and filler.

How many games did Westbrook miss? He's having a terrific year too.
