There was a point a few weeks ago where the top 4-5 posts on this section of the board were all non NBA discussion. Don't get me wrong, I get legit NBA discussion segue ways into other life topics, but it would probably be easier if there was one pinned catch all "Politics/Current Events/Rant/Vent/Brag" thread so everyone who wants to talk about burning flags or overpriced veterinarians or the best onion dip recipes can all go there.
One of the base problems is there is not enough legit 24/7 basketball news to cover a year. ESPN certainly tries, which is why you get the Westbrook Hates Durant fabricated feud and crap like that. To encourage the lowest common denominator section of the sports fanbase, those who are poorly educated and poorly socialized, to spend 70 percent of their income on new kicks and get them by storming malls and mauling other random people for basically sport and giggles.
If all the regular posters here were stuck on a desert island, aka the show Lost, people here would start killing each other in about 18 hours. Technically, the generally accepted principle is "10 Meals" I.E. after the people around you miss their 10th meal in a row, and no more hot showers and any kind of authority, people snap and start stabbing each other. I would literally just hide in a tree and watch nixluva hold up a conch and scream "It's my turn to talk!" while jrodmc and Hofstra try to justify later, after killing him with a giant boulder, that it was really everyone elses fault. The plane that crashed should have been full of useful people with survival skills and leaders, they didn't get enough "help" with the level of talent put around them to stop them from being murderers. Also why should they get any coconuts and firewood for the group, it's not their fault that that's just their "game" and that they shouldn't be expected to change that for anyone else. And when the entire collective gets overrun by pirates and savages, why help out on "team defense"? That's not "their game"
See, if you can justify Melo not giving max effort, you can literally justify anything. Well, if you rationalize behavior like a jilted woman would.

2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup olive oil

Whisk all of the above in a medium bowl and voila, happiness! I mean ranch.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook and stir until the onions are caramelized to a nice golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove the onions from the heat and cool.
Mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, white pepper, and remaining kosher salt. Stir in the onions when they are cool. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours before serving.

One of the most interesting things that will never happen is breaking down the actual NBA CBA into very small chunks, week by week here, and analyzing it as a group to see if there are any loopholes, strategies or market inefficiencies that the Knicks could exploit to help themselves in the future.
But why be progressive? There's onion dip to worry about instead.
See Hofstra and jrodmc, if you are going to be so transparent and just openly troll for Carmelo Anthony like you are some excuse making battered wife ( "I made him DO IT! I made it!" ) , at least be entertaining. But why expect that much from dudes who wear their jerseys backwards ( because clearly the mother f**king name on the back of the jersey means more than the team name on the front)
