    I like that I've used GOWB enough now that he's an acronym. 

    James

    Nah, I just couldn't be bothered to type it and have his name be in my phone's auto complete for the rest of recorded time.

  2. About halfway through All the Lovers in the Night now and man, is it fucking weird. This character is just a disaster. Historically, there have probably been a gajillion male protagonists like this and they're played totally differently. Kawakami is just...bereft of judgment one way or the other. On one hand it makes it harder to slog through, but as a writer, it's also a fucking impressive trick.

  3. The best part of that fantasy booking is Giannis can give up on the idea that he should develop a 3, because Wemby can do it already. So he can just rim-run and be an absolute pest on defense.

    Wemby/Giannis/Sochan would instantly be the best defensive frontcourt since probably the 04 Pistons.

  4. I'm guessing SA takes Bailey, since they could use another big more than another guard. Or they field some offers for both lottery picks if they can fall back 2 or 3 spots and get a vet along with someone they like.

  5. Wizards and Jazz got hosed by the lottery. Dallas has a top 4 or better. Unfortunately, so does Philly. And the Spurs continue being the luckiest a-holes on the block.

    Holy crap. Dallas got Flagg.

  6. No Internet besides mobile data, so I'm rewatching physical media, and Asa Butterfield doing an American accent was absolutely *doing my head in* because it sounded so familiar. And then I realized that, for whatever oddball reason, he and Jack Quaid sound almost exactly the same. So strange.

    So how much can Cleveland give up for Giannis while still having pieces around him, Mobley, and Mitchell?

    No way I do that trade if I'm Milwaukee and Mobley isn't a part. Plus he's on a pricey extension starting next year to cancel out some of Giannis' salary. And Mobley seems like he prefers playing the 4.

    Mobley/Garland/Wade/whatever picks Cleveland still controls for Giannis, his brother, and the 15th guy on the Bucks roster? Maybe get someone else involved to eat money and take a contract to toss Milwaukee another first? OKC still has a billion.

  8. Brief pop-in as I start watching To Live and Die in L.A. to say it has, unequivocally, the WORST cheeseball 80s theme song ever recorded. It's not enough that the song is dated and terrible; it's that the lyrics CLEARLY make it better suited for a comedy about struggling actors in Hollywood, not a goddamned action film! What in the cream cheese fuck, people??

  9. Well, that was a game, at least. 

    It's also kinda wild to see the 'beautiful game' Warriors going straight-up Riley Knicks rock fight mode. Granted, Butler and Green are the right guys to do that with.

    And Jonathan Kuminga picked an interesting time to look like a lottery pick again.

  10. "What's better than that," Pete Davidson? Not having you in my fucking commercials, for one.

    LET THE PRODUCTS SELL THEMSELVES 

    FUCK ADVERTISING COMMERCIAL PSYCHOLOGY 

    PSYCHOLOGICAL METHODS TO SELL SHOULD BE DESTROOYYYYYYYYYED

  11. Ant just had his ankle stepped on. Didn't look great, not particularly serious but wouldn't be shocked if he misses just as much time as Steph.

    Or he'll be a 24 year old and come back in the second fucking half.

  12. I like the "fix this now" quote.  Which part?  Your 30-year-stinkfest?  Your evident desire to be the first MLB team to receive Relegation to AAA?  Your penny-pinching bullshit?  Pissing off your fans just about monthly?  Bad drafting aside from getting Skenes (aka the biggest no-brainer since, I dunno, Chipper Jones)?  Or just losing 7 in a row?  I don't even follow baseball anymore to the extent I used to and I still know the Pirates are one of the worst-run organizations in all of professional sports.
