I am groggy at work today after staying up to watch that game last night - but it was totally worth it. I don't care what anyone says - high level NBA games are absolutely the best sport to watch. Last night was amazing - Chris Paul had a monster game, didn't miss a shot in the 1st Q. Curry and Green were both in early foul trouble with an already short bench. Clippers up 23 at one point, up 10 late in the 4th....and they still lose. Steph Curry is amazing. Is there anyone else in all of sports that is more worth the price of admission than him? Can they match or beat the Bulls 72 win season?

You're in the minority -- most people staying up late to watch NBA games don't have to worry about going to work the next day.
Hahaha. Very true likely but I watched it too and don't regret it. If this team was on the east coast it would be a whole different world.
I thought about tuning it in, and want to appreciate stuff like this more. GS still being undefeated does add something. Then I realized that neither of these teams will play a truly meaningful game for 6 months and decided not to, was watching some SMU-Stanford 1st half and went to bed. It was crap so regret it a little.
How does SMU look so far this season? Sucks for those kids that they've got the postseason suspension, seems like the kind of team that could make some noise in the dance.
id be curios to hear the arguments in barbershops today. do the patrons getting a fade like Steph Curry or still side with Lebron as the leagues best cause Curry isnt "real" enough and comes from the suburbs.
What Curry is doing is beyond great. Lebron is great cause his body allows him to be so dominant. Curry is 6'3" 160 and dominates the NBA like no other.
Someone on ESPN made a good point. Its hard to push him around when he stays on the perimeter. you cant be physical on the perimeter and get away with it like you can in the paint. which leads to a lot of Curry's success.

Love watching sports on the west coast. At the bar last night everyone I was with was fully confident that they would come back. Clippers public enemy #1 although the Spurs are still the boogyman.
Too busy talking about who the best rapper of all time is how Jadakiss lyrics raised the whole hood.
they're probably talking about how it's a safe space for them at the barbershop and reading feminist tweets
I was shopping at JC Penny yesterday (because CoPer), and I asked the attendant where the men's section was. She politely replied that I needed to take the exscalator (sp?).
I was so pleased with that answer, that I finally decided to investigate.
Let me ax you a question, where is the exscalator, I need to get this person to an ambalamps.
Turns out Jeff Chaucer was a big fan of ax, but it didn't win out. Plenty of other "sk's" were losers, however;
fisk > fiks > fish
All of this simply reinforces the notion that language is alive and constantly evolving. In America today, the process of cultural innovation is typified by blacks at the leading edge, whereas a bunch of stuff-shirted-midwesterners still run around correcting "double-negatives" on the iNETs.
What is particularly interesting about "ax" right now, at least according to the linguist from Columbia, is that it appears to actually be a "black question". In that sense, I don't actually know that I can "ax" anybody anything. However, that's merely the current state of affairs. If I start "axing" now, everybody might eventually be "axing" tomorrow, just like they did in The Canterbury Tales.
I plan to be an early adopter.
Beyond that, my analysis is still pretty much focused on the "sk" syllable. I can watch the Great Exscape, or I can engage in exscapades here on the nations. My studies have led to some conundrums. If I wanted to point out that something was "askew", it would seemingly be reduced to "axing you", thereby deleting a word from the vocabulary. I'm actually fine with that, as I don't think there's really much demand for "askew" anyway, and it would probably be beneficial to clean things up a bit. I did initially stumble on the translation for Skittles, but quickly realized that what we're talking about is "sk" preeceded by a vowel.

Teenage girls in general are the makn drivers of language evolution.
It's weird to me when I hear people complaining about new words and phrases and such. English is such a bastard language. Has been constantly changing from Olde English for the past 800 years. So many of the things we say aren't literal - "what's up?" - why throw a fit because this incredible language continues to grow?
Thought SMU looked good, and they were really playing hard for whoever the interim head coach is (forget his name--but they were talking about how he used to be a HC someplace). The guy looked like he was definitely coaching like the job was his, or would be soon. Do feel sort of bad for the kids that went there, but at the same time if they got any decent advice they'd have to have known that was a possibility.
