I didn’t mean to say it’s inappropriate for us as fans to blame the commish. It's literally part his job to be responsible. He's a replaceable part though, and if his credibility wears out, then that's just how it'll go. Whether or not the owners own us, they own the NBA, they don't have to...

Yes, I am basically saying that we shouldn't trust the NBA commissioner to be fair for fairness' sake. He's there to be responsive to the needs of the privately owned business. I appreciate the nihilism jab, it's probably deserved; but I'll defend myself by saying that this is actually Science...

The NBA commisioner is merely an employee of the collective billionaire owners. They are cheifly interested in the NBA’s ability to 10x their investments every 10 years. All of the commisioner’s powers are dedicated towards managing that middle to long term growth. By that measure, Silver has...

Good old bkref has them available. It doesn't seem like they ought to be a premium stat, as it should be straightforward to parse them from game logs 🤷‍♂️. https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAC/2025/on-off/

This is tricky, Löwenherz has more games that I like, Tetsujin has more that I love.

OK boomer ;)

No shade to anyone who wants to play this game. It's just not what I signed up for

Multiple folks expressed uncertainty about what the tiebreaking rules actually were, so I don't feel like the precedent was very powerful. Seemed more like a clean slate to me. I was aware that I was the only person advocating for the coin toss, but I was open to other ideas (nobody else...

There's quite a bit more to democracy than merely voting. Different rules can result in different democracies being affected by different sets of issues. Even in the cases where a vote is supposed to actually matter; coin tosses (or other random methods) are used to resolve ties for most...

Maybe for some folks! The desert island draft concept is something that we do for fun, and this particular desert island draft is certainly a testament to the fact that people have a wide variety of activities that they consider fun. If I had to, and if I was trying to win, then the game...

Hey, in 2010 it was punk rock to play an ascii game! I haven't actually played a lot recently, but when I have, the steam default seems fine.
