I know there’s been a lot of personnel turnover in the organization that I haven’t kept up with, but was PGAB an official hire?

Apparently Kevin Love is Brian Wilson’s cousin once removed and refers to him as his uncle.

It's speculative and is great because it has a high ceiling, but things change quick and it's also not out of the realm of possibility that it's on par with the three you traded for it or even the worst of the four. i.e. cash in on its hypothetical value when you can (see the Lakers pick -- and...

This is a great phrase and pretty concisely sums up my frustrations that have been brewing for a few years and precisely the reasons why we find ourselves in the current situation we're in.

Mossimo? No Fear?

The other thing that drives me nuts is that we're continually being asked to take everything on faith and not on substance. Is AA good? Don't know. I may even be at the point where I'm past caring. But it's not substance. It's more "trust the plan" or "Ainge won a ring" type stuff. We're in a...

Anyway, I think the nepotism angle here is a real red herring. Imagine if it was announced that we hired some random guy from a front office who hadn't been a GM yet and all of the sudden he was supposed to be our decision maker. Would we not be asking WTF is going on? But now instead we're...

We felt we had no assets, so we parlayed that first seed team into a bunch of assets but... most any of the assets in our chest of real value are... our own assets we would have had anyway. C'est la vie.

Easiest way to remember is what the word is you’re looking for. Something complementary will complete it, not complite it. Capitol refers to a building. O for office. Everything else is capital. A for always. Just made these up.

As I haven’t been particularly optimistic about our direction for some time now, and as I’m having a hard time envisioning a relevant future any time soon and become quite apathetic to it, pretty much all I have left is looking to the past and arguing about conclusions made from it, and here you...

Here's a 'did you know': That in 1976, the Soviets landed a spacecraft on Venus and sent pictures back? They landed again in 1982 and sent back more pictures. It's an interesting juxtaposition with the assumptions of "if it were true, it would be on the news," or "if something were big and...

I believe that pressure is there and I believe you'll still have talking heads come out and say stuff like that, kind of like a hypothetical one-upping like when Ryan said we could do the Kevin Durant trade three times or whatever it was he said. The reality is, is that we don't have assets to...

I believe the window on "big game hunting" closed somewhere over this past season. All of our future draft picks have depreciated enough in value that any "big game hunting" nets a team a tier below the team we blew up to get all those house chips. We can still use the chips at the bar, though...

I'm always amazed that "The Sun Always Shines on TV" didn't have the same kind of staying power for radio play. That chorus melody outshines "Take on Me," but I understand the rest of the song may seem more choppy (comparatively) for radio play. Anyway, the weirdest radio thing I ever had was...

This may seem off the wall, but right before I read your post I had seen a plane in the sky that originated in Manchester and is headed to Vegas. Every London to LAX flight passes over our house. But I have never seen a flight overhead from Manchester. Then I started resuming reading your post...
