but it was his mental health...

killian 25-5-5-5 first piston to do that since grant hill. although i imagine hill did it against a real nba team and not a team trotting out a g league team like okc just did. nice to see portland enter the "so obviously tanking the league may step in" group. welcome to the club, portland!

holy shit....hronek made a nice play. is raymond giving seider a run for the money for calder?

gotta stop that one, ned. i know it would help if you had any speed on defense to get back and help after staal turned it over...

like us, they are resting their "injured" players.

nobody outtanks okc.

oy lindstrom. oy.

3 on 1 and ras fans on the shot. oh ras, if only you had one ounce of skill in your body...

killian!

i just want to see the bulls fall into the play in games.

veccinie's latest has us taking banchero at #3 with smith and chet going 1-2 and ivey going 4. he did not include sharpe in the draft. no um or sparty players being projected as drafted.

killian!

the basketball hall of fame is easier to get into than arizona state...

rangers played the night before in pittsburgh, that probably helped the wings. plus they are a much better team at home usually. suter is like most of their players outside of larkin, bert, raymond, seider and vrana: a borderline third line guy. i'd like to see what a different coaching staff could do with zadina/ras/veleno. i know they probably shouldnt go spending on a center for next year given they will likely still be bad, but they desperately need a legitimate #1A/#2 center behind larkin. someone to be on a line with vrana and use his scoring speed and shot. hertel is off the market now and i dont know who else fits the bill. trocheck? domi? sigh. were gonna suck next year too, arent we?

hronek gets beat to the puck, goes in soft, rangers get it and score. hronek sucks.

which is why no one else will move up.

and we'll sign miles bridges...

i dont think there is any evidende they are bitching about blash other than a very shaky twitter account. also, raymond plays defense? i guess. raymond is a rookie who is on the smaller side and is here to score, i'm not worried if he gets occasionally.

i dont mean to say he traded down JUST TO TAKE CHOLOWSKI, i'm saying chychrun fell to that spot and the red wings traded out of that spot rather than take chychrun and instead ended up taking cholowski. which is yet another move that has crippled this team.

i dont want to take a corner that high. i'd rather take a defensive end or a qb.

god, i hope not.

agreed. "mental health" and "therapy" are the new penance. Make a public mistake that causes you to lose reputation? go to "therapy". you dont have to say 10 hail mary's and wear a hairshirt anymore, now you need to go tell a "mental health professional" all your secrets. just as a side note, i think a lot of legislation gets passed but we never hear about most of it. we hear about republicans obstructing democrats from passing larger legislation - which is true - but more actually gets done than we know about.

what is the goal of the democrats?

and let's remember that everyone and their brother was high on chychrun and holland traded out of that pick that became chychrun so he could take cholowski. now chychrun is a borderline all star and cholowski is almost out of the league in three years. ken holland ruined this franchise.

the inability for people on both sides of that issue to draw the line between "sex" and "gender" is very frustrating. that said, we have drawn so many legal and social lines along gender (who gets protected by what rules, who can use this facility (bathrooms), who can compete against whom, who is being discriminated against, who can go where in society) it makes it an almost impossible problem to "solve" and an impossible question to answer, especially in a legal sense where so many questions are supposed to have black letter law answers. how do you legislate who can use what bathroom? or who can compete against whom in sports when the variables change so much? i doubt most people care - or would notice - if some transwoman walked into a woman's bathroom. but how do you write that into law and prevent dudes from abusing it? its easy fodder for scaremongering republicans to present a worst case scenario (which does happen but very rarely) and make democrats look bad for defending it.
