    Well yeah but that was the tail wagging the dog because Stotts only put them on the bench when Naipier and the rest of the Closers could dominate... I bet most of those minutes were in Phoenix-style blowouts.

    He dismissively goes "waah waah waah" when his guest dares mention the Celtics are playing .500 ball since January. His guest just pauses and said, "okay...?" like he's dealing with a toddler then continues.

    I remember being 23 and liking bill Simmons. He's like Adam sandler to me, kinda. Niche group, then huge popularity, then back to a smaller niche group.
    I think he's a douche and stopped reading entirely when he initially publicly bailed on the Bruins, and then jumped on the band wagon when they got good. Fuck him

    He sucked balls. OKC won despite of him, not because of him.

    Holy cow. I didn't realize the Blazers are 100-1. I kinda wanna put money down.

    $2k would pay off my house if Eric and I believe harder.

    I still like him. I love his writing style and he speaks like the irrational fans that we all are to an extent. And his Book of Basketball is up there among the best bball books ever.

    I looked a couple weeks ago and he was at 9.5 RPG, then 9.7 last week. He's definitely making a late season push to hit the mark.

    He'll need to average 12.1 over the final 10 to get it. He'll really have to work to get there.
