But it use to be that there were 10+ good teams in the West, and somehow we've suddenly become Eastern Conference-lite - the mediocrity is astounding!

If by "mediocre" you mean being at about median performance, that's kind of the definition of parity. I think all of the teams in the West, except Phoenix, are pretty good. If you're playing teams that are all pretty equal in terms of talent level though, their records are going to trend towards .500. That said, only the top 3 teams in the East have winning records against the West.

20(ish) games into the season, who had the following?

  • Blazers 1.5 games behind the Conference leading...........Clippers?
  • Last year's doormat Mavericks in the #8 spot in the Playoff race?
  • The Thunder 1 game out of first place after beginning 0-4 to start?
  • The Timberwolves playing so much better without Jimmy Butler?
  • The Rockets being thankful the sorry Suns are an NBA franchise?
  • The Sacramento Kings being 1/2 game out of the #8 Playoff spot?

Weird season so far.

That's cool. I found out last week that it was International Men's Day. It's on the same day as National Toilet Day. National Toilet Day is probably taken more seriously.

A man's home is his castle. So, it seems appropriate that International Men's Day should occur on the same day we honor his throne.

You probably meant twitting, but I get the gist.

I've never even owned a Twitter account. I go on Reddit sometimes, but that's closer to texting. Twitter makes no sense to me. Why would I send the world, unfiltered, my extemporaneous thoughts when I am some just some slub? There is literally no point I can think of other than unjustifiably patting my own ego.

It's not about you! The point of Twitter is to follow funny people, and there are a LOT of them on Twitter.

I assumed this was a satiric commentary on our commander in chief. My apologies.

I hate Twitter. Most assume that's because I'm an angry old white man. That's bullshit (fucking kids these days). It has been demonstrated that other angry old white men absolutely LOVE Twitter and can't get enough of it.

Nope, I hate it because I believe in the integrity of language. I even spell out complete words when I text my kids. I find that Twitter spew to be an incomprehensible abomination. It encourages lassitude. I'll have none of that! Now get the fuck off my lawn and leave me alone.

I'm just indifferent too it. If people like it I got no problem. It just seems to me the Internet portal to what can become an angry, callous mob. At least with Facebook I can limit my comments to Friend's posts or Groups I subscribe too.

That's the lassitude I referenced. People just blast shit out there with no details, no context and no explanation just hoping for a reaction from the other side. It's Trolling for Dummies.
