Exactly, it's just one of those games where they were abnormally hitting 3s at the highest clip possible for that volume. A couple more defenders for the Cavs and they probably disrupt things enough to swing it in their favor. A 7 game series between these two will be something to watch, but no shame in that loss. Boston played great and the Cavs kept it close in the 4th. Point differential loss of only 3, so if they win the next 2 NIST games by a bunch, they can get in as the 4th seed.

This is like the one single instance of NBA competition where using divisions would actually make sense, and they dropped the ball. I suspect it was a way for the NBA to create some "Group of Death" situations. Celtics are shooting 50% from 3, while the Cavs are 0-6. It will even out soon.

Uhhh...

15-0 Cavs @ the 11-3 Celtics tonight on TNT at 6pm CST. It's gonna be a big test for the Cavs, and it will likely determine who comes out of that division in the dumb Play-In Tournament. I don't know who made the play-in tournament brackets, but I think it's really dumb that they didn't keep it as the Divisions.

Ty Jerome is gonna be in the 6th man of the year conversation. Dude is a true diamond in the rough. Can't believe this guy bounced around several teams his first few years, and then turned into this kind of player. He basically subbed in for Donovan Mitchell tonight and the team didn't miss a beat. I can't imagine his current shooting is going to remain consistent all season, but it's fun while it lasts 58/54/83 splits is so good for a guy coming off the bench.

From The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs. The first ~20 minutes of that movie is amazing.

That's from the end of a brilliant Curb Your Enthusiasm episode called Palestinian Chicken from Season 8, Ep 3. There's a Persian chicken place that Larry and Jeff absolutely love, but the problem is that it's very pro-Palestine and anti-Israel. He gets a some credit for fighting with Super Dave in the parking lot over wearing his yamaka to it and wins over the crowd of anti-semites in the store. Larry ends up sleeping with a beautiful Persian lady he met there, despite his heritage. However, a conflict develops between a Jewish Deli next door and the chicken restaurant. The protesters are lined up with his jewish friends on one side pleading with him to join them, and his persian slam piece offering a 3way with her sister on the other. So the episode ends with him weighing the options and ultimately cuts to credits before he decides, which leaves the viewer wondering what option he chose. I think most everyone I know would have gone with the chicken place. Truly a remarkable 30 minutes of comedy excellence, and Larry's personal favorite episode of Curb.

So is Hegseth for or against bombing cartels in Mexico and Central America? Because that will be suggested by Trump again, once he needs to fan the flames of fear against gangs coming through the border.

You can't deny that this timeline does have a great sense of humor.

Thought of some more titles: Con Air Force One It's PAT-thological From Russia with No Lube The Manchurian Can-of-Fucking-Shit

I'm sure the Federalist society has already written Thomas' majority opinion overturning this precedent, and probably sprinkled in something fun like disbanding unions and rescinding the authority of OSHA.

Just imagine if Phoenix never made the Beal trade and they had all that ammo to get in the Giannis trade game. KD, Giannis and Booker would be a hell of a core. Coulda been something special.

We need a good title for this chapter. Donald Trump 2: Grifter Boogaloo! Donald Trump: He Really Puts the 'Con' in 'Conservative'! Trump Trek: Going to Depths of Depravity Where No Man has Gone Before!

Can't wait to see Flynn nominated for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...

Does that mean we are going to have primaries for local School Boards???

Some hilarious options for White House Press Secretary: Kari Lake, Laura Loomer, Alina Habba, Scott Jennings and Steven Cheung. Each one with an equally awful personality for it, who will only be combative with reporters every day. Can't wait to see all the other shitbirds this guy picks! The Rubio pick creates an interesting situation, because Meatball Ron gets to choose his replacement. Since Ron is on his way out as he's term limited at the Gov position, he could appoint himself to the seat and give up his current role. But he would have to run again in 2026 to secure the last 2 years of the senate term, then again in 2028 to get 6 more years, but he would probably shoot for the R nomination for President at that point. Those 2026 midterms are gonna be a shitshow for Republicans after 2 years of Trump bullshit, I anticipate a significant shift and snapback from 2024. Adding another Senate seat to the mix, even in Florida, might not be a great idea for Rs. 2018 was the year the Dems picked up 40 seats in the house, Rick Scott narrowly won his Florida seat and Ted Cruz nearly lost to Beto.

If Palestinians aren't "real", and Gaza no longer exists in a year or so, where will they send them?

RFK Jr is also a supporter of psychedelics, so maybe we finally get weed, shrooms and LSD decriminalized at the Federal level.

Yes, but that river is now the Euphrates.

The IST is upon us! Remember the In-Season Tournament from last season? Those courts that assaulted the rods and cones in your eyes, and the format the players still didn’t seem to understand until we got to single elimination? Well, it’s back, it starts Tuesday, and it has a cool new name — The NBA Cup! So, when exactly is the NBA Cup? Every Tuesday and Friday between Nov. 12 and Dec. 3 will be the NBA Cup Group Play action. You’ll know it’s an NBA Cup night by the special courts we’re seeing just for these games. To break it down completely, it’s the next four Tuesdays and the next three Fridays. Then, we’ll have the tournament portion of the NBA Cup happening Dec. 10 and 11. The NBA Cup heads to Las Vegas again on Dec. 14 with the NBA Cup championship on Dec. 17. Oh, just a reminder the NBA Cup champ gets a banner and a trophy, and each player on the roster grabs $500,000 for winning it all. And how does it work? We have six groups of five teams each. Three groups in the East. Three groups in the West. Each team will play four games within their group. The winner of each group will advance, as well as one wild card team from each conference. Tiebreakers will depend on head-to-head within group play and point differential as the first two. So, when you see teams running up the score at the end of these group play games, it’s actually what you’re supposed to do. What are the groups again? I’m so glad you asked! East A: Knicks, Nets, Magic, 76ers, Hornets East B: Bucks, Pacers, Heat, Raptors, Pistons East 😄 Celtics, Bulls, Cavaliers, Hawks, Wizards West A: Wolves, Clippers, Kings, Rockets, Blazers West B: Thunder, Suns, Lakers, Jazz, Spurs West 😄 Nuggets, Mavericks, Pelicans, Warriors, Grizzlies Rankings the NBA Cup tournament courts in 2024 from worst to 'Please delete this" https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nba-cup-tournament-courts-ranked-2024 #1 ranked:

Probably included the Astros in that Soto tweet just to trigger Yankee fans. Although, it would be extra sweet to sign him knowing they just ruined the Yankees season before it even starts.

Yeah, you got it rough. Now Chet is gonna eat up and IR spot for you the rest of the season if you don't drop him. I got a few injuries too, but not as bad as you. I'm feeling pretty good about my team now. I just gotta remember to check my lineup more often. I missed starting some key guys that first week and it killed my numbers. Also have to stream a few guys each week to keep up with the little bits of extra stats here and there.

Not yet... But he could issue it, let it argue over it through the courts for a few years, then let the SCOTUS deem that a Presidential Pardon counts for everything! Yay democracy!!!
