    NBA Bounceball

    Got home last night to watch Australia play Serbia. Never have cared much for Serbia's type of play. Couldn't care less now. Good coach Serbia has I grudgingly admit. I feel bad for Australia. Of course you have to make shots, but the game plan wasn't working in the 1st quarter so why continue...

    NBA Bounceball

    The NBA coaches love to talk about "complete level" these days. Well, I doubt that any of those coaches has a clue what kind of intensity there will be for Serbia vs. Croatia tomorrow in the Olympics. Portland vs. Toronto? Yeah, not going to make anybody take up arms.

    KD is going to be hated by many, sadly. No sense in it, but with guys like MJ, Bird, and Thomas (Isaiah) still shaking their heads about Lebron going to Miami there is a strong sense of "beat them, don't join them" among many NBA fans. And KD, had he played better in one of the last three games...

    The only artistic point I can make today is why I love the arts: There are no points or prizes, really. The Nobel, I guess, is awarded, but it's not what anybody is aiming for ever, it seems to me. It's not a league. It's not some sort of Olympics where after six years and four hundred tests to...

    KD is a pure jump shooter from two-point land. If he were a post-up scorer, then I would be much more in line with your thinking. I am trying to understand why people are so impressed with this move. Who cares if KD scores thirty a game if Klay and Step have fewer shots? Golden State did not...

    NBA Bounceball

    I can understand why you wrote that, but I would hope the game against Australia showed you why I wrote what I wrote. Of course, I wrote what I did before the game. GSW beat Lebron and some guys two years ago. Klay Thomspon and Kevin Durant needed a lot of help to beat Australia, which, to be...

    Dismal Pillock, Ballantine Wainwright III, Reginald the Recalcitrant Recidivist, etc. The T-ball offspring of the last-picked coalition a.k.a. Canadians spend half their days discussing U.S. politics and sport. Here is the last homage I can ever watch about them:

    Just read tonight on ESPN or some site like that that most "experts" still pick the Warriors to win it all this coming season. Nothing like building up hype. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving get to the Finals for the first time and beat a good team. No respect. None. Zero. The truth is that were...

    Plenty of visuals, heck even some video, and a laugh here or there so if that is a Dismal Pillock thread I can only echo Spiro Agnew's "more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism" line from a speech a thousand years ago. Sometimes it is good to laugh at ourselves, you know, not...

    Rio Olympics

    Sitting here in Canada reading this and wanted you to know that people are ecstatic about a bronze in Rugby sevens. And, for all intents and purposes, I can see why. Gold? People would be crying in the streets. Unthinkable to win gold against the great teams. Don't even dare to have such dreams...

    I could post a remix of "Skyfall" to celebrate dark matter and chaos but not now. Chaos and dark matter are present, though, in this padded cell I call "home" these days. The power went off when I was making that Corporate Shazza vid. I decided to leave "War and Peace" to DP.
