Harrell is a Monstrezl.
Remember Z-man endorsing him before the draft.
I thought it was a Z-thing at the time.

That was astounding. What a job by the Clippers!

And yeah, the Warriors seemed like they half-assed it once they were up big (it is hard to play with as much energy when you’re up 30, ya know?) and got burned by it in the end.

Damn, that was a sweet comeback, Lou Williams and Harrell played so damn well.

I think the Warriors seem to be pacing themselves more than usual, probably because they see the Rockets second round matchup around the corner, but that was a fun game to watch.

I don’t give a shit about the knicks, but I’m jealous as hell of Silky.

@78

Thanks for the recs. I lived in Minnesota with an ex who went to U of M for her M.A. (I’m a NY native, grew up on LI–Suffolk county–and lived in the city for a bit as well). Chicago’s winters are going to be child’s play in comparison (and I love the cold already!). I am very excited about the Shake Shacks and Chicago’s great food scene more generally, and, of course, graduate school!

If I recall the story correctly, the Pistons simply made a huge offer the Spurs were not willing to pay that much for a backup, and Pop told Boban to go get the money. It was talked at the time that Pop really liked him, but they were unwilling to commit big money to a backup because they were contenders at the time. Pretty much the same thing that happened with Jonathan Simmons.

@77 Thank you.

Though joking aside, the Spurs let him go, so…they aren’t infallible?

Silky, congrats. I can think of nothing better than five-plus years of guided, funded study in a field one loves. (And I say this as a MA-terminal philistine/hedonist who loves my bonus checks as much as I do bookstore binges.) IIRC you’re from Minnesota or went to school there (?) so you need no prepping for the unrelenting Chicago winters — which I consider a boon to one’s indoor time, and therefore reading volume. I remember considering The New School for the last two years of my BA, and realizing that paying to live in NYC (especially during the cold-weather months) just to read and write 40+ hours a week was a silly proposition. Grad school, however, is ideal for it, and Chicago is a hell of a lot cheaper.

Re: Chicago — Beauty Bar, The Map Room, Hoosier Mama Pies, and Art of Pizza are my favorites on the west side, near where I lived for a summer. And I think there are two Shake Shacks in the Loop so jfc I am fucking envious as all hell
