Haaaaay

@geahuwine

yet. I’m going to chill with the online thing. Dating period. I don’t want that kind of work right now.

one afternoon while picking up the children the younger boy hopped in the backseat and blew on a harmonica. It was so dope the way he did it! Said he found it in his room. My grandchildren are giving me life right now!

Does that make me shallow?

which makes her role on Insecure even more ingenious. The character Issa on Insecure is a horrible person (one of many in that show).

And since she talks so much on that show, it's hard to get past that.

Of their job.
Andre Roberson can't hit a jumper. His job is to be good at basketball.
But like. He can't hit an open jumper to save his life.
His presence on one half of the court changes its entire geometry. He's too small to be on the block. But with Russ being the main ball handler, he can't even hide as a facilitator.

“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

what in the entire fuck is that shit?

how did they get out of high school w/o being able to nail those? college?

no coach was hard enough on 'em to get that fixed?

b/w:

baseball pitchers who just flat out cannot hit. don't even try. like - 'fuck it'.

wtf? so a team has to just give up a chance at a hit? only 8 out of 9 in the line up when at bat are expected to try to hit and the 9th one is just a giveaway? why is this accepted? i know...pitchers are such special snowflakes w/such specialized skill that hitting would blah blah. fuck that. no. you step up to the plate you'd better be ready to hit. fohwtbs.

i can't change the game but the shit infuriates me when i think about it.

fuck you.

improve his hitting.

Getting a pitcher to a respectable .250 for his 2-3 at bats per game ain't worth the time he'd lose to work on his pitching.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

if i understand the game...a team can't win unless it scores more runs than the opponent.

how many runs can a pitcher score by throwing a ball?

how many runs can a pitcher score by hitting a ball?

fuck you.

so whatever time he spent practicing hitting, it would come at the expense of his pitching.

Whatever minimal improvements there are in his hitting, there would be a greater diminishment in his pitching, hence an overall loss in run differentials and not to mention less at bats.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

infielders.

pitchers can't?

uh huh.

this has just been accepted.

naw.

i wouldn't. but i also wouldn't manage a baseball team. b/c that would just not be something i'd deal with. if my pitchers don't have 'stuff' as 'nasty' (my god that's an asinine way to talk about pitching) as __ then fuck it. at least them motherfuckers can hit. i'm not willing to just give up a spot in the line-up like that.

or i'd only want the team to recruit pitchers who can hit. b/c they exist. i'm not the one to have non-hitters on the squad.

but again i'm no baseball manager. that wouldn't be me.

(BTW - you've told me nothing i didn't already know. i am from St. Louis. i understand baseball, player.)

fuck you.

For someone that knows baseball, you sure have some silly ass opinions.

A team that focuses on good hitting pitchers would probably have terrible pitching.

lol @ i'm from st louis i understand baseball.

so for some dudes, thats their ticket. focusing on those areas that you can only get marginally better at the expense of what you are already good at might not be worth it. Everyone has a niche. If you are one of the best at that, you'll have a job lol

Like if he was just an Iguldola type of shooter he could stick. But he's so bad that he doesn't have to be guarded on the wing. And if you put ANY big out there with him you're giving up two scoring ops and playing 3 on 5.

------
“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

because he's an ELITE wing defender. A very valuable thing in this league. Yes, it's frustrating as shit, as an actual Thunder fan, watching him miss that corner three time and time again...but, he also put the clamps on Harden in the playoffs. He and PG are gonna give dudes fits. So...we live with it. Now, him not being able to shoot free-throws...THAT shit has to change, lol. That's all he better have done this summer was shoot free-throws.

Anthony Bennett is on a roster right now despite showing no signs of being NBA material (he has a career high game of 20 points by the way).

Sam Presti is the same guy that gave Serge Ibaka a contract over James Harden, kept Kendrick Perkins despite the amnesty clause, and hung onto Scotty Brooks, all while the league was getting slimmer, longer, and rangier. That OKC team was the proto Golden State Warriors and instead of heading that direction they've moved further from it.

Here's the NBAs own advanced stats and for players that played more than 60 games last year he's 51st in defensive rating

http://stats.nba.com/players/defense/?sort=DEF_RATING&dir=-1&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&CF=GP*GE*60

Adjusted by defensive win shares per person he's 28th
http://stats.nba.com/players/defense/?sort=DEF_WS&dir=-1&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&CF=GP*GE*60

In a league where you only get 5 people on the court at time and the ball can change possession in an instant that's not good enough. Imagine if he was an elite stealer. He'd theoretically gain an extra offensive possession and then immediately negate that on the other end.

If his skill set can be replicated by Paul George, if Paul George signs another contract with them he's gone. Traded. And then whatever team takes him I'm willing to bet good solid money that he won't be getting starter or 6th man minutes. The reason he's on the team now and Royal Ivey isn't, is because he's cheaper and younger and people aren't knocking on the door for Royal these days.

He could stick in this league if develops a corner three ala Bruce Bowen but sticking isn't getting the 123rd highest contract in the league of your first extension chance. Putting him in the category of Matthew Dellavedova, PG (121) and Meyers Leonard, PF (118)


*And with all that my point still stands. He's very bad at one particular aspect of his profession.

------
“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

not an apt comparison, IMO. My only point with that was you saying he might stick if he can shoot like Iggy. He IS sticking. Whatever stats you want to look up, he is an elite defender. I watched close to 50 Thunder games this season. I watched every second of the Thunder/Rockets series and saw how he played Harden. PG resigning would not necessarily mean Dre would be traded, because you need more than one dude that can play great defense. Just ask Cleveland...who only had one dude on the team with even a hope of defending KD. Also...who cares that his contract is 128th? Lol...you think he does?

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

A mediocre one at that.
And he's very bad at shooting.


All in all he seems like a nice enough guy and hey, that's your squad, but you defending him like you're on his payroll, and if you are ... get him a shooting coach or he's not getting another contract.

------
“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

>Also...who
>cares that his contract is 128th? Lol...you think he does?

You do. I said the dude was terrible at shooting and you said he just got a new contract. You aint say shit about his open as airball the other night or his 3 for 21 FTs in the offs last season. And all that he'll get better rah rah, ask Nick Anderson how the yips worked out for him.
And being an elite defender, as if, he's very good, and he wore down a lazy James Harden, a lot of people do that. But he's no Tony Allen and as he approaches 30, lets see about how "elite" you consider him.
But keep watching, keep cheering.

*you typing like I insulted your hero. He save your dog or something?

Andre Roberson is an example. He's no different than Dogus Balbay or a list of other Longhorn players that I've seen excel at parts and then flop at others. The difference being, he's on a roster right now. Basketball is one of the few sports that they ask you to be rounded, they trade ice in hockey, footballers stay on their sides of the pitch, football players are positional, the closest analogy is the one SoWhat used about pitchers, but he had to go with pitchers because that's an elite position. You can't be a pretty good center fielder and terrible batter that just doesn't happen. You can't be a pretty good tennis player but an awful server. So yeah, it's really hard to understand for a 6'6 wing player to be THAT bad at shooting in a league with zones, spacing, a ball hawk for a PG, and some bricks in the lane for centers. But good luck.

“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

NBA terrible means they look like Lebron playing in your rec league. They average 20 15 10 12 9 in your rec league.

He can't hit the shot relative to NBA competition but he's clearly talented enough to be out there and NBA coaches have tough standards.

And during that time he's averaged typically double digit rebounds. Assuming even 30% of those boards are offensive you have about 4-6 points on boards alone.

He's not a good shooter. He's a very bad shooter. Not NBA bad, wouldn't score a J in pick up bad. I'm sure he could jump out the gym. But he's bad bad at shooting.

His career high in points is 19 on a late season game against last years all mighty Los Angeles lakers that were 19-40 at that point in the season.


He's a 26 % three point shooter for his career and last season 40%. Of his shots came from three point land.

my 4th day not having a job. I hated it but the comfort of knowing a check was coming every two weeks kept me there. they gave me a decent enough severance so bills are more than covered and I paid this vacation off for March 2018. I'll lower my standards in December even though I should be getting unemployment soon. our biggest worry is health insurance

speaking of, my health issues stem from genetics and there's nothing I could do to prevent risk. eating right and exercising lowers my chances and staying at the doctor ensures things are cool. If they still cant tell what's going on after this appointment next month I may have to consider surgery. Basically Im 37 with 50 year old problems, I'll be cool living until 70 at this point

ironically, not working is improving my marriage and Im pretty happy overall. I cant get complacent and lazy though

rest your soul during this time

“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

In his reviews Ive seen him readily critique misogyny, etc.

At least some alt-righters can claim that they are the 'good guys' because they are willfully ignorant. THAT FUCKER KNOWS THE SHIT HE'S SAYING IS TRIFE, but fuck it...lemmie get them youtube dollars while I can. That's the most damning thing in the Fader article, how towards the end they kinda hint on how it looks more like a callous attempt at more cash+clicks and he was hitting them alt-right cats up for pointers to be more outrageous for more attention.

is working when a guy who legit had me convinced he was one of the 'good guys' becomes an edgepeddler for $$$

Those words and actions were purposeful. A very loose comparison is Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings in which people say he's not racist because he fucked a black girl. And it's like nah. You can still admire aspects of a person and feel that they're beneath you. White people co op entire neighborhoods for culture and have the people in them.

Probably why he's so good at critiques. Finding things that he likes and then harpering on artists to do better. I mean he had a whole channel dedicated to mocking rappers style in which he basically donned blackface. And he used that vehicle to show that "he could do better than them even when he's not trying"


So no. He's a racist doing racist actions and when he got caught he hid.

So they double down on it instead of check themselves. Because there's a whole world that will indulge them.

That'd be my guess. The male ego and internal shame. A powerful cocktail.

“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

basically the same state of mind described with a non-slang word, conscious, probably can't be co-opted by definition

but yeah I'm surprised at how quick it ended up everywhere

------
“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” -Albert Camus

of what it became associated with which is much more specific than 'conscious'. It's associated with post-modern critical theory. So worldviews that are anti-enlightenment (science is RACIST and SEXIST and HOMOPHOBIC, as are the canons of western literature and art)....pro-authoritarian (de-platforming and language policing and anti-discourse arguments).....reductionist logic (patriarchy, white supremacy, cis-gender normativity employed as explanations for EVERYTHING)....etc etc etc.

Anything associated with those idealogical movements (AKA SJW stuff) is now mockingly referred to as 'woke'. Obama used it in a speaking engagement in Toronto last Friday. Can't find the actual quote but it was something to the effect of 'I'm not woke. I'm an old-fashioned guy. I believe in the enlightenment and rationality and discourse and facts'.

I guess Obama is alt-right too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51oiQomYuqM

Master Teacher, Badu & Muldrow.

that's the first time i heard the term used to mean 'conscious'.

fuck you.

I'm good with the word for "us", it made good slang. But then other folks took it and started using it "wrong" and then Childish Gambino dropped it and it played during Get Out and it was into the wind at that point.

And now I see it more often used as an insult hell I got called "fake woke" on this site like a month ago and I felt like pulling the fire alarm.

Like you end up "missing" someone or thinking fondly of them, based solely on thee fact that you don't have to deal with them consistently. And I do it a lot. Particularly being in DC now, everyone is far, few of my life norms are the same, I "miss" a lot of things that I don't really miss.

And as I get older and deeper into my marriage, I see some positive characteristics in my wife, that remind me of others and I get to wondering "why didn't that work out"? Which is typically a pretty easy question to answer, but I'm a #man and #men don't evaluate their feelings, a #man shames himself from having feelings in the first place.


And for YEARS now, I've always looked at a certain someone with irrational fondness. We didn't fully date for long near a decade ago for purposeful reasons, physically I'm not all the attracted to her and that's not gotten better, the sex was whack, her personality is ehhh, and despite ALL of that and more, there's still that occasional twinge that says "what if". That twinge is trash, but it's part of human existence that I accept as an irrationality.


Then the other day on the social medias she shared a link from Alex Jones' site, and yeah.
