In that poll (top of page), I have to ask, whoever voted "Other," how did you arrive at that choice?  Either we trim the forums, or we don't, or you're not sure.  You chose none of those options.  So, somewhere, beyond trinary logic, there must some other course of action?  Add MORE forums?  Fill Josh's house with stuffed animals?  We all join the French foreign legion and forget everything?

Probably some poster with a sarcastic bent, who wondered why that option even existed, for precisely the reason you identify. Not that I have personal knowledge, necessarily....

A conspiratorial theory for our conspiratorial times...

Best No lineup right now has Kanter at the 4 defensively.

FIFY.

By the way, if Ms Waters were green or blue or shocking pink, she'd have acted stupidly.

You likely agree.

I can’t think of one thing she’s done stupidly.

I do love watching Auntie Maxine do smart things that make bitch ass crackers cry. It gives me an itchy donation finger every time.

Don Jr. should be wearing Manafort Orange by the election, along with Paulie Numbnuts himself. The dotard will be sent to his long home in 2019, courtesy of a far more representative congress.

I expect the Baker situation to clear up at least a couple of weeks before the regular season starts.

Hezonja is Historically bad at defending the post. Vonleh, Thomas, Mitchell, Kornet, and Knox before Hezonja at power forward.

From little snips of video, it looks like Noah is adjusting his approach by developing something like a basketball player’s jump shot.

I’m getting used to the idea that at this point, we cut Baker, add Kadeem Allen to the D-League and go to war.

Kanter Kornet Noah KP
Vonleh Thomas Mitchell
Knox Hezonja
Hardaway Lee Dotson
Ntilikina Burke Mudiay

Hicks Trier, one at at time till KP is healthy.

A fairly comprehensive list as of January.

I think it’s more likely that trump has racial animus to Maxine Waters than it is that you remember to wipe your ass when you poop yourself.

Donald Trump seeks to prove that he is a racist, despite resistance from people like Kiid and RSW and Bamboozled.

You are allowing yourself to be led by the nose

That it is CNN doing the leading is even more embarrassing for you

The clear and unambiguous racism is a central pillar in t-bags’ whole public life. It was the giddy maypole at the core of his father’s social and commercial life. He’s been broadcasting his racism steadily with stupefying energy for decades and shouldered his way to the front of the most racist available pack. It doesn’t take CNN. The evidence is a giant turd mountain now residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

Your lack of judgement in this is a good sign that it’s probably time to yank your driver’s license and make sure your house is free of bumpy corners, steep stairs, sharp objects and inflammable materials.

I think we can get into the Wizards of the past few seasons, i.e. 4-6 seed + short postseason, with Tim as the 5th starter or guard-wing off the bench paying what we pay him if many other things break right.

If he improves incrementally under Fizz, he could be a decent deal in year 3 and 4.

He’s sort of a backcourt ZBo, in terms of how you want to deploy him on what sort of teams.

Starting center, all-star caliber, middle of a big contract, deep in the playoffs, healthy, happy, a Knick hopefully.

Domestic coal mining is getting hit with hydrogen bombs that detonate over decades, a nice present for your children and grandchildren.

Elitist positions;

Open borders, screw the unions and working poor and those that went through the process legally.

Open enrollment and free education. Everybody deserves it.

Screw the vets. Not needed, everyone loves us.

No dirty coal mines or oil wells. Think of the beautiful landscapes ruined and bears and reindeer who have to listen and see the man made monstrosities. We can by cheap oil from our Saudi friends.

What makes it elitist?

If you wanted to claim it's Neo-liberal, I could understand it.

But what does elitism have to do with anything beyond disdain for the racists, misogynists, xenophobes, etc? (And even that I would argue has nothing to do with elitism, but it is closer as it claims superiority to them.)

More of a disdain for the values and lifestyles of anyone who is not an ivy lawyer. Particularly blue collar workers. You just cannot go to W. Virginia and tell voters you want to do away with coal mines.

Better to wait till the robotic mines get cranked up and there are no people left in West Virginia or any of the neighboring states? That seems like a slow and terrible kind of terrorism to inflict on a whole region and culture integral to America since before America’s inception. It seems odd to want to do now to Appalachia what Appalachia did to its native population in the process of becoming what it is today. It seems an odd way to navigate, unless the best path is to lie to voters or groups of voters about coal’s bright future for the region, get elected, then pour resources into productive avenues far more attractive than coal. Is that Tulsi’s Plan?

Trump’s lawyers’ ethical duty is to walk away from trump until a public defender is appointed by the court. That lawyer, as the last recourse except self-representation, can get as salty as necessary with the client and even expose him to a few hard truths and interesting quirks of our legal system in the service of his defense.

"With all of LA’s playmakers the Knicks point guards, Hardaway’s skill set could be a valuable option as someone to get the ball to out in transition, on cuts, or from deep."

Ah, the dawg days of summer...

Charlie Ward likes our point guards.
