Last spring, when the Golden State Warriors were redefining the acceptable parameters of tanking and Harrison Barnes was redefining the boundaries of how badly I could troll a player on my beloved Carolina Tar Heels, I wrote a series of columns stating the Warriors were doing the NBA a disservice and that Barnes was a bust. Around that time, I recall a friend joking that the best possible outcome would be if the Warriors tanked their way into the middle of the lottery and picked up Barnes. That way, my two beloved hatreds could be intertwined forever. If Barnes ended up being an NBA bust, the specious logic of sports predictions and the Internet record would vindicate me forever.

So here's my apology. I still stand by my assertion that what the Warriors did to get the seventh pick in the draft was beyond reproach. Sitting all your good players with fake injuries and then starting five rookies in the last game of the season (which, by the way, was Fan Night at Oracle) was a new nadir for competitive integrity in the NBA. And I do not think the fact that Barnes now seems well on his way to becoming a very good NBA player somehow validates the Warriors' behavior.

Like I said. **** the Warriors. Forever.

As for this notion that liking the Warriors is serving as a referendum to the Jazz, what the Warriors did last year was not just go young, it was a bald-faced yet dishonest tank, it was shameful and embarrassing for the league, for their organization, AND IT ****ED THE JAZZ. They're lower than the Blazers, and it's not even close.

And Mark Jackson is a turd. When the players tune him out, he'll be better served shouting empty platitudes from a pulpit.

This is so stupid. GS looks like they might beat SA, which is amazing. Do you honestly think Warrior fan wishes the Warriors didn't tank, the pick went to Utah, and they are in ninth place in the west?

This is the way the NBA is set up. You can't get a superstar through FA if you are Utah or GS. You can barely hope to KEEP a superstar if you luck into one. You can't cut a player you have overpaid. The ONLY way a team like Utah, GS, or OKC can hope to win is through the draft, which means you HAVE to lose.

Like Sloan said, "if you listen to the guys in the stands you'll end up sitting with them."

Given the structure of the NBA, what GS did was ABSOLUTELY the correct decision. Same with OKC. Same with SA. Same with Chicago.

If you want to take the high road and not play young guys, great. You'll NEVER win a title. It's your choice.

When you're standing in a long queue, no it's not illegal to blatantly let out a big FART in so that the guy standing after you can feel the full brunt of your stinking ***.

It's not illegal to do it, but if you decide to do it, well, let's just say, you're a complete *** Hole.

You dig?

I think your post is illegal, or at the very least offensive. Give us more details about the fart story.

Well to be honest with you I used to be a public FARTER. I don't care who can smell it, as long as nobody knew it was me who did it.

But then one of my ex GF said to me "how is farting any different to peeing, or going for No. 2? You should do it where nobody can see/hear/or smell you.

So my policy now is, I'm I feel like I'm about to fart, I'd either do it in a room where nobody is there, do it outside, or go to the toilet and do it there.

That's just my own personal preference now. What's yours?
 
Someone calling me stupid and yet they believe Harrison Barnes singularly swung their season from out of the playoffs to potential WCF team. By the ****ing way, is Brandon Knight better than Kyrie Irving yet?

You seem to have struck a nerve with this post.

Harrison Barnes has a big game in 3 hours. I wonder if he'll start.
 
i am surprised pacers dont have more votes... they are like the only real threat to heat in the east....
 
The Spurs - they're a top-class organization, their players hustle, are talented, play great defense, and they're not trashy thugs. Watching them execute is basketball at its finest.

The Pacers are fun to watch also - they're tough and play great defense. Their GM is doing a great job.

I just hope the Jazz are smart enough to tank for Wiggins or Jabari like SA did for Duncan.

we only get one vote.... GSW was fun to watch when Curry was healthy and winning
I will hop on to the Pacer's wagon when Curry gets beat.
and I also give some support to the Grizz too.
 
If the jazz fought like the Bulls......

Anyway it is now down to hoping for a Grizzlies Pacers finals for me. Probably end up being GS and Heat.

Yeah but if you watched the other two games, you would think the series was extremely close. They could have been up 3-2 on Miami with a couple of good bounces.
