Those first six minutes unspeakably awful. What followed, sublime.
... but that kid Trier.

How about that fan that hit the halfcourt shot and sparked the team?

Season MVP so far.

How do we get him to hit that shot at road games?

In addition the Constitution was written so the provision calling for an equal number of Senators per state cannot be changed.

I have twenty seven reasons to think you are bassackwards about this. Weak hope has replaced real analysis from you again.

Quote
Hillary lost the Electoral College by losing 6 states that Obama won.  Only one, Iowa, was a small Electoral one. It seems rather obvious that after 2008 the voters have been rejecting democrats.

Again, an interesting conclusion based on the fact that more voters have been casting ballots for Democrats through all that time evenin the face of rump party apparatchiks disenfranchising and suppressing anyone they think is likely to lean Democratic in an election.

Keep thinking your degenerate retrograde movement has a public support or mandate. In reality you are fucking yourself by yourself again.

I took a look at Bklyn vs. Detroit. Brooklyn is very short handed at the moment, but they are still worlds better than the Hawks. The trick seems to be wearing them down which we have the style and the horses to do. They have a lot of fight in them. Dudley, who I’m thinking about calling Subway while he’s in Brooklyn, is throwing out shades of post-Hawk Boris Diaw.

Langston Galloway is finding his way in the league. Casey is going to get a lot of work out of him. Kenard also looked good.

Knox needs to watch film of a young T. Prince under Larry Brown.

I’m really glad the coaching staff is letting players commune directly with Clyde. It can only help these young Knicks.

Trump and his family lied.

Gee, what a surprise.

Thanks for the great link Josh!

I find the dirty amoral machinations of the deeply incestuous trump klan to be morbidly fascinating, like watching rats breed among mouldering corpses.

Trump is a designation signifying that you default to being any petty criminal’s absolute bitch.

The stain goes back generations.

As sanity spreads, the terrible people are more and more prone to resort to desperate harmful bullshit.

As the good man has been saying,

Achtung!

That was a beautiful game.

It was anchored by 2 double-doubles and the invisible hand of Frank.

Ekant is beautiful. I’d like to adopt it, if that’s ok, Kam.

I’m glad the clock doesn’t start on 2ways for a little while.

I think we’re gonna see Longball Luke dress while Young Mitch heals and becomes a better monster.

Everyone still has a lot to learn after this one, but I really like the players assembled and their deployment throughout the game. I hope there will be hell to pay in the film sessions and at the next practice, not a hot hell but a witheringly sarcastic one - all about the details and about how the Celtics will kill you for doing this or that.

The more I think about it, the more I think it’s ok that KP and MR really can take time together on a side hoop and lay some intense roots in working out a two-man game on both ends. Safely, in slow-mo, they can put in the work. If health holds, we’ll be in good shape with Ekant (?) Vonleh and Kornet upfront for a while.

I hope fervently that of the guys not playing tonight that Dameon, Daredevil, Big-tits, Dotson survives the inevitable upcoming biggish guard purge. I have less strong feelings about Lee or Mudiay.

Maybe the Hawks will take one. It seems like they could use some help.

We’re not supposed to be very good without KP, ever.

An interesting read with some clues to the origins of our current travails

Wow Red. That last post seems to imply you have firm policy preferences in regards to trade. What set of policies or guiding principles do you support in US trade policy? Does it relate to policy preferences you might hold in other areas?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/artcarden/2018/05/04/1100-economists-no-trump-tariffs/#1bc26dbd40fb

1100 economists from all parts of the political spectrum agree on the stupidity of Trumpian trade policy.
The World Economic Forum says The U.S. is back on top as the most competitive country in the world, regaining the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2008.

The World Economic Forum has analyzed the state of our economy after 8 years of sane Democratic stewardship checked by right wing beastiality and self harming (thanks Mitch!) tainted by the very beginnings of trumpian graft, mismanagement, and decay. When they check back in a year or so, our precipitous dive down that list will be evident.

The good news is a new Congress can put the sick GOP beasties in a small box and sap the momentum from the decline and fall of the U.S.A.

We just have to outvote the suppression, gerrymandering, fearmongering, and outright lies.

There was a lie in the article, but MS13 took it. Crime is rampant because of Obamacare and commie Canadians with all their pot.

I think I understand. Red hates it when a guy with Economics Degrees from Yale and M.I.T. and a Nobel Prize in Economics "poses" as an economist.
It is pretty hard to “ explore the policy positions of both parties” when it was written by a partisan
(Regardless of his profession) spewing the democrat party line on Healthcare while lying about the GOP position.

Still hasn’t found a lie about the GOP position. Try looking under the WMDs. No? Maybe it’s by the benefit of the tax scam to ordinary Americans. No? Maybe it got lost among trump’s best words...

Red hates it when people point out the hollow craven immortality of all he believes and everyone he associates himself with. As a scumbag, Red hates to be called out.

Economists widely hold that graft, theft, laziness, and cronyism have negative effects when rampant in economies.

The republicans and right wing mobs everywhere are built on the four pillars of graft, theft, laziness, and cronyism.

It’s less that economists are partisan than that economics is partisan.

Reality still has that famous liberal bias.
