More Hardwood + Round Holes = Lots of Scoring in Basketball 2K19
The Warriors were bad for about 30 years, and then they drafted well, hired a rookie coach, won a surprise title against King James, set the NBA record for wins in a season, and lost in 7 to King James. That was all before KD showed up. Now they spent the previous 2 years without KD, rebuilding depth, recovering from injuries, and getting nowhere near the playoffs. They've finally gotten healthy, they've rebuilt the bench, and they are playing better team basketball than everyone else. Are they the Patriots of basketball? I'd say they are more like the Showtime Laker or the Gretzky Oilers. As for KD being Brady, pshaw I say. Pshaw!

Hardly. A Warriors/Celtics matchup would be fantastic for the NBA. It's been an interesting turn seeing the Warriors become the villains of the NBA. I mean, they are still basically the same homegrown team that won their first title in 2015. Is it because Draymond Green talks too much? *shrug* I'd love for them to get a 2nd title without KD. As a dynasty, there might not be many other shots at it.

Your link said that the majority of (reported) crimes were theft. It didn't say anything about prison or prosecution. As I've said, crime rates and imprisonments rates are not connected in the way you are assuming.

I think we've done this before. How many people are in jail for stealing loaves of bread, Jean Valjean?

Hah, FoxNews knows their audience. California also had a huge budget surplus this year. I would love to see an actual decline, since that might make it possible to buy a house, but the reality is California is doing just fine.

The question should be: Does incarceration stop crime?

There is no money in drastically reducing the US's prison population. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/research/economics_of_incarceration/ Oh wait...you think our prison population is tied to crime rates. Sorry, I forgot you are still living in that fairy tale world.

Scientific work aside, I don't know why people think handing out long prison terms discourages crime. There doesn't seem to be any connection to the huge boom in prison population and crime rates.- What are you Playing Now? Who needs a life anyway?...

Warriors got past the Grizzlies. I guess that is an upset since the 3 seed beat the 2 seed. Meanwhile the NHL has 5 game 7's in the first round. Craziness.- ranDom vIdeO game news

This morning my wife and I ran into a couple olympic athletes when we were getting out of the pool. They had a camera crew with them for GTN, the Global Triathlon Network, and they were getting ready to take over our swim lanes. We geeked out a bit. We got a selfie with the host of the show, Heather Fell, but I totally flailed socially with Sarah True. She asked me a question about swimming in a local reservoir and I awkwardly talked about the pollution levels. Still it was fun to see some celebrities sharing our local community pool. They were in town to work with Specialized.- What You've Done Today - Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life
