  1. I'm sure he did worse on the night. It's strange why he's allowed to do things that are fouls on others. He ain't exactly Michael Jordan.
  2. That needs to be a suspension. That's so much more dangerous than a punch. White could have landed on his face. He could have damaged his face, hands, elbows, collar bone, neck\spine... that's seriously fucked up and super fucking dangerous.
  3. For once, I agree with the aggie.
  4. If the Celtics were healthy, I think they'd make it really close. But Robert Williams is so hobbled he looked to be in pain even jogging up the court. He won't be healthy until the off season. Smart is injured, but playing. I think Golden State's main core is mostly healthy. I have Warriors in 6. Boston wins one in GS, but loses at home to offset.
  5. I love how those idiots are too stupid to realize they're being mocked.
  6. I didn't say those are the only metrics. It's just the glaringly obvious problem with this particular player. But I'm sure there's a long list of high volume shooters who didn't shoot 40% from the field, but were still offensively efficient. I'd love to see that list.
  7. I'm not sure what you're basing that on. His career stats are pretty consistent. His scoring average only goes up when he takes a lot more shots... but his FG% is terrible in all years.
  8. He's never broken 40% FG shooting for his entire fucking career. His stroke isn't bad, he's just inaccurate and people want to make him the starting SG? FFS why? He's just a drain on offensive efficiency and he can't stretch the floor with shooting to create space. If he's your primary SG, teams can just pack the lane and clog everything up.
  9. I actually wish Carr hadn't come back. He's a horrible shooter. He only scores lots of points as a volume shooter and he's really inefficient doing it. He's not particularly physically imposing on either end. I mean... I'd rather Carr go pro or transfer. Keep Morris.
  10. One point of entry also means one point of exit. If anyone gets past the guards at the gate it turns the school into a kill box. Anyone inside remains trapped inside with a psycho. Also, as someone mentioned earlier, a single point of entry creates bottlenecks of people waiting to get in and out. That just means a killer has to time his attack during a mass entry or exit and all the people will just be sitting in a convenient clump of victimhood. It's not logistically possible to harden many schools in this way. Look at Westlake. There's probably over a dozen individual buildings covering probably 6 to 10 football fields of land. For many schools we're talking about huge buildings with tons of windows, doors, roof and maintenance access points etc... Shit ain't realistic even if it was economically feasible for 130k schools, which it isn't.
  11. There are over 130,000 K thru 12 school in this country. Good security personnel will run upwards of 100k per person. How many do you need per school? The cost of training, arming, equipping, plus the usual government bloat... you're talking about hiring a literal army here. Plus as we saw at Parkland and Uvalde, the armed personnel on scene aren't necessarily inclined to die for the kids so...
  12. And despite there being a literal convention hall full of good guys with guns, they're banning guns from the NRA convention. The right will not see the irony.
  13. I can't wait to hear what Abbott's plans are to stop these shootings in the future. I'm sure it's going to be great and not at all similar to doing nothing until people lose interest again.
  14. Well, a small correction. Many places, like Texas, have made it easier to get guns since Sandy Hook. So that's a notable change.
  15. This kid has some good looking film. He's a very physical blocker with plus athleticism... nice looking player.
  16. From the men's bathroom to fired pool boy to millionaire... a totally believable underdog story.
  17. Agreed, he likely can't be a full time EDGE guy. Still, we don't have a single player on the team who can get to the QB that we know of so... he's still pretty fucking valuable to us.
  18. Susan Collins would vote for this, however, the problem is you need 60 votes to pass it, or you need to set aside the filibuster for this specific issue. That's highly unlikely to happen.
  19. This ruling will also endanger other things as well. It was based on the concept of a Constitutional Right to Privacy... ie, to conduct your affairs as you see fit. That is an implied right, and is not explicitly in the Constitution. There are a string of important rights based upon this, not just abortion. The landmark case is Griswold vs. Connecticut - which legalized access to contraception for married couples The ruling in that case was used as the precedent for: Eisenstadt v. Baird - which legalized access to contraception for anyone Loving v. Virginia - which legalized interracial marriage Roe v. Wade - which legalized abortion Lawrence v. Texas - which legalized gay sex Obergefell v. Hodges - which legalized gay marriage Banning the above is a wet dream for the extremely far right, which is largely, now just the right. And yes, interracial marriage was brought up as perhaps not rightly decided by a Republican recently.
  20. Roberts has no one to blame but himself. He's completely lost control of the court. He had the chance to stop this multiple times when he was the swing vote, but he was too much of a pussy. Now the other 5 don't need his vote and can do whatever they want. He can't be the moderate conservative\deciding force anymore. He's helpless. SCOTUS will effectively be an arm of the GOP for the foreseeable future, unless a conservative justice dies before the midterm elections. They might show some restraint on some issues, but the GOP is going to get all of their big ticket items done most likely. And that was the whole point of this decades long process of capturing control of the judiciary. The GOP thinks and plans ahead dozens of years. And the Democrats can't figure out how to shepherd their herd of cats on any given day.
