False. The game never should have been close enough for that play to matter. Without 6-10 gifted free throws to the Warriors the game is over

WeaponX20 coming into this thread with irrational LeBron hate, unable to even acknowledge how badly the Cavs were screwed on Thursday night. Just accept that the Warriors were gifted game 1. Now they'll probably win in 5 games. We CANNOT have officiating deciding games in the NBA Finals. Ken Mauer, Ed Malloy, and Tony Brothers should not get to officiate another Finals game, period. It was a fucking joke. If you don't believe me, go back and watch the supposed "fouls" on all of Durant's FTs in the second half.

I mean they weren't even necessarily close calls, they were wrong calls. Kevin Durant shot at least 6 FTs in the 4th quarter on plays with no contact where the officials simply reacted to what happens without first seeing contact. It's one thing if LeBron is getting those calls too but he wasn't...and he was delivering the best single game Finals performance we've seen in 25 years, whereas Durant was hardly noticeable aside from those atrocious calls that gifted the Warriors 6-10 points.

The league has some explaining to do. The officiating over the last 15 minutes has been absolutely unacceptable. This cannot happen. It can't happen. You can't effectively decide a game and probably change this entire series. Cleveland earned this game over and over again and the refs kept taking it away. This is inexcusable and an absolutely cheating of the Cleveland Cavaliers and NBA fans in general. Fucking atrocious.

Rule change idea. Hitting a shooter's hand after release should not be a foul because it has no effect whatsoever on the shot

I mean if they play defense anything is possible, but they don't like playing defense. They actually should have a better shot in game 1 with Love being out because they're a better defensive lineup without him, but he's also their best 3 point shooter if Korver isn't lighting it up.

Perhaps the most sickening part of America's school shooting problem, after of course the deaths of children and faculty, is the level of politicization we're seeing on a day by day basis. Dead children are now a platform upon which to wag fingers and self-promote. It's utterly sickening. What this topic boils down to is this: what does each of us think is the actual solution to this problem? Better yet, can we collectively agree on a solution? My take: a balance of every idea except arming teachers, which is utterly stupid. Legislation: there has to be some middle ground we can find on legislation, because legislation has worked in other countries. We of course don't want emotionally based legislation, but we can still approach the drafting of such legislation with logic and deductive reason. Armed Security Personal at schools: this is a no brainer to me. At most other mass gatherings of people in the United States, armed security is present. Why should schools be any different, especially considering it's mostly children involved? Recentering our moral compass and our priorities: we have to be better as a collective unit overall or we have no chance at fixing this issue.

How do you all feel about the proposition of not naming or showing pictures of school shooters? So long as they are either dead or in custody, I think their names and faces should never been seen on a TV screen. Fuck em. Let them die or rot in prison anonymous.

It means that the vast majority of mass shooters had no present father figure. Obviously part of that issue is unfit men. Part of it is also the devolution of our society and the way it views traditional family values. Quite frankly, the world would be a much better place if young people fucked people they actually like. Then there'd be more two parent households.

If there's a best solution to this problem it's going to involve acknowledging realities on both sides of the political spectrum. The right will have to acknowledge that ease of access to firearms is a problem and that we can present legislation that doesn't affect 2A rights. The left will have to acknowledge that young men in particular benefit greatly from a 2 parent household with a male role model in place and that their attempts to tear apart traditional family values are abhorrent.

He's already in the discussion and arguably better.

Kevin Durant ruined basketball. This is pointless.

I don't see Shapiro as angry at all, though I would say that I disagree with him much more often than Peterson. Peterson has an aggression to him, but it seems to only show itself when he's being interviewed and they take something he said completely out of context or completely reword it into something worse. For instance, with the Vice interview, the SJW headline said "Peterson says women shouldn't wear makeup and heels to work" when what really happened is they were discussing sexual signaling in the workplace and he added those two to the list of forms of sexual signaling. Peterson is misrepresented more than any public figure in recent times. Also, he has said he'd use special pronouns if asked by a student, but that he wouldn't use them otherwise in order to adhere to C-16. I also disagree on what they say being propaganda. They both cite sources regularly and seeing as Peterson is an actual scientist and clinical psychologist, I happen to value his stance more so than that of fruitcake gender studies idiots who don't have any actual science backing their positions.

Are they dickheads, though? The greatest thinkers throughout history upset people. What are they going to be years from now if we can somehow avoid this descent into leftist fascism? They are standing in the way of the application of intellectual eugenics. We need to be standing behind these people.

David Hogg gets hate because he's a 18 year old kid who can't articulate himself like a fully developed adult, which shouldn't be surprising because he's an 18 year old kid. An 18 year old kid who was 17 when he survived a mass shooting and subsequently became an activist. He shouldn't receive so much hate for his inability to articulate himself considering these things. But then you have a student activist in Kyle Kashuv who is younger than Hogg and much, much more eloquent and very clearly more intelligent, so you have that constant comparison if you pay attention to each of their stances. There's a reason Hogg won't debate Kashuv...he'd get annihilated by a smarter, more eloquent young man.

Joe Rogan might be the most important North American thinker right now, and that's not ignoring more intelligent folks like Peterson, Shapiro, Sam Harris, etc. It's that Joe can present even unpopular opinions without being an asshole and can reach both sides of the aisle.

If feels so wrong whenever there isn't a cold weather team is the SCF

I'd gladly pay a percentage of my taxes for providing armed security personnel for public schools. I think we all would

An extreme unlikelihood is no more likely simply because it can't be proven wrong without drastic action. I'm not a medical professional who can take you to the morgue in Santa Fe. As for deleting your posts, I can and will. So long as they are disrespectful of the dead and their loved ones and so long as they offer nothing whatsoever to the conversation. Go find a new bridge.

The whole coddling thing is dead on accurate.

There is a lot to be said about what has or hasn't worked in other countries. I'm not at all opposed to legislation if it's in any way reasonable.

I'm with SteVo on this particular individual in Texas. How fucking pathetic do you have to be emotionally to get this point? I mean, there were other clues that he was fucking weird, like wearing a trench coat every single day. In Texas. Like a girl was going to want to go out with the stinky, weird creep .What did he reasonably expect in the first place? These young men that commit mass violence over girls/women were awkward and dejected long before they became violent, and quite honestly, schools tend to ignore these individuals as opposed to seeking them out and helping them learn how to communicate. The kid is responsible for the act, but if we don't acknowledge our own failures as a society that result in these kinds of individuals developing in the first place, we'll never come to a solution.

How about that no goal call in the Pittsburgh game earlier? How can a clear shot of the puck behind the line AND the post not be definitive evidence that it's a goal?

That's the pattern, but what exactly could he be doing that causes that? I don't watch his teams and see them doing anything differently from any other hockey team. It's just coincidence.

I don't think Bruce should go. His playoff pattern has to be coincidence. It's not like he's going into the locker room after the season is over and saying, "Ok guys, we're going to back off on our offensive intensity and try to win games by scoring only 1-2 goals." That being said, I'm for moving on from some of our veterans. I'd keep Staal, Granlund, Zucker, and put everybody else on the trade market. I'd love to keep Parise too but he seems to keep getting hurt. I like the core of young players, especially Greenway.
