    Celtics vs. Warriors, NBA Finals

    If you watch the video again, Green landed, and his feet came to a rest on JB. Then his right foot moved again, further towards JB's shoulder, and then finally came to rest again on JB's face. That is an intentional act - these are elite players with ultra control of their bodies. While not...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Given the ECF G5 series tied context of the game, the quality of the defense he's facing, the shoulder thing, his early shooting woes... this is probably the most complete game I've seen Tatum play this year. Pretty damn impressive, and he's only 19?

    My brain doesn't work like anyone's I know, so there is that. Edit: from your post - "so I can function better in society". No, so I don't unintentionally hurt people with careless/ignorant words - which clearly I did in this thread anyway. Re the bolded. This was Anderson's life experience...

    Thank you. Between Shaq and Barkley they say some things that make me wonder why they are still on the air.

    Clarification? Did he imply the city was dirty or the homeless? And did you perceive it to mean clean up your act in those areas, or was it entitled "keep those icky homeless people away from our hotel? I'd like to take it as a positive if he was calling out a city for not taking care of two...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    I bet people would pay serious money to see a scrimmage between those two teams. No clock, first to 50, no substitutions, full refs - or maybe Elam endings of some sort. Being greedy, best 2 of 3 with 20 minutes between sets.

    Thank you, so much of these details are hard to retain across the various sports. I appreciate your answer.

    And have someone ask if I have a fetish? I'll get my advice elsewhere, thanks. Edit: And I did #1, specifically.

    Would it be wrong to simply hope for extending the series under the theory that the Warriors would like any team be at risk to the normal bumps, bruises/sprains as any team and that might help the Cs if they advance? I'd never HOPE for an injury, but as both the Cs and Heat have seen, the...

    Brad Stevens: President of Basketball Ops

    Just for understanding, those saying that Isaac (or any player) doesn't fit into this particular exception - is there a small percentage based wiggle room? Or is he past even any wiggle room? Perhaps I am confusing that percentage based wiggle room with some other CBA contract area.

    You won't find a single post where I defended his actions, I haven't, I wouldn't. Any entity that makes an error would be smart to examine the error and see what can be done about their processes/approaches to avoid that error in the future. Good companies also look for areas that are similar...

    Backpedal all you want. My questions were prefaced with the qualifier that we all know that what he specifically did was wrong "at work". Your post was dismissive and judgmental when it was clear the questions were past the situation at hand. Your characterization is wrong in my opinion. For...

    Thank you for this post. I'm also not too proud to admit that it takes work to be where I want to be.

    I'll violate my last post comment to respond here. You used the qualifier "at work". If we are trying to improve the way we view, treat, interact with each other it should not be limited to work or 'not getting caught at work', it should be part of who we are. Or religious-based: there are...

    In an effort to be transparent, this post reads like you are attacking my attempt to understand a nuance I don't currently understand. That's my feeling, perhaps it has no value to you. This is my last post in this thread because I'm not sure my attempt to discern the kernel of what is going...
