Pulling for the Warriors for selfish Grizzlies specific reasons and just general basketball fan reasons. Extended series means more rest for my Grizz. A 7 game series would mean whoever comes out of said series will likely be tired. If the Warriors win the series the Grizz end up with a better overall matchup. Not necessarily easier but better from a matchup perspective.

That's Jeff Immelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...). He has been the CEO of G.E. since September of 2001. As far as I'm aware, he's not accused of any crime, and I have not heard anyone claim that he has avoided paying his personal taxes. The issue is that G.E. has paid zero for corporate taxes in 2010 and possibly other years, despite large profits. However, I believe...

- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Sorry, I probably muddled the issue. The general point is supposed to be that if a person fails to pay their taxes they generally go to jail, but if a corporation dodges them, they continue to do so unimpeded. (I was more pointing out that even in the world of only individual tax fraud, the law is often applied unevenly.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
I agree with the cynic in Johnny... Lauryn Hill surely could have paid someone to shelter her earnings in legal ways. But then, maybe she didn't trust anyone enough, or didn't know what to do, and thought she could get away. I'm not familiar with the details of her story, just speculating.

Jennifer, yeah, it seems pretty arbitrary which celebrities get jail time and which don't. This article argues she got a light sentence: http://www.forbes.com/sites... -- but it's Forbes, so I dunno. And your point that people go to jail for things that corporations don't is true, but that's the whole point of corporations, to shield individuals from liability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

When I saw this earlier today, I could name a handful of black celebrities who were jailed for not paying taxes, but zero white celebrities. White celebrities were fined, but jailed--even at home, no. http://www.sheknows.com/enterta... and http://www.legalzoom.com/legal-h... show the inequalities.
- Anika
True, Stephen - though in theory, it should be a shield not immunity. Some of what we're willing to let pass just galls me sometimes. Well, and that's part of the point as well - he led GE, and legally evaded taxes during that time, but that's respectable.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Anika, the only white celebrity I could think of was Martha Stewart, and that wasn't tax related - she pissed off the money men with questionable trading.

Anika, yeah. Joe Francis and Richard Hatch served time, but they're not real celebrities, whereas Wesley Snipes and Lauryn Hill both are. Seems unfair.

One thing I should clarify: Victor had an interesting post later about the ethics and morality involved. Please don't construe my first comment here as approval of G.E. being able to pay zero in taxes: It's clearly wrong (ethically wrong, morally wrong, and wrong from a fairness perspective) that our system lets them get away with it. It's proof to me that our tax system needs serious reformation.

Parker ran off a double screen from both Ginobili and Diaw. Parker's original defender stuck with him, Diaw's defender switched to double Parker, Diaw went to the hoop and so Ginobili's defender - already a step behind the action anyways, or maybe he was supposed to switch onto Diaw - switched onto Diaw, leaving Ginobili completely open.
- Andrew C (✓)
All this before the inbounds, with Parker 25 feet from the basket and heading even further away. Crazy to keep the double on Parker that long.
- Andrew C (✓)
They're talking about it on Inside the NBA now - Kenny says the plan was probably to switch everything, but since Harrison Barnes wasn't actually screened off, he stuck with Parker.
- Andrew C (✓)
If Popovich actually told Diaw and Ginobili to set soft screens and not actually rub Barnes off because he was anticipating that, he's a freaking genius.
- Andrew C (✓)
I got it slightly wrong: Bazemore, who ended up defending on Diaw and tried to rotate to challenge Ginobili's shot, was doing the right thing - Diaw would have had a layup if Bazemore had left him open. The mistakes were on Barnes and Jack. http://www.poundingtherock.com/2013...

"A former NBA All-Star is accused of squatting in a home in Arizona and then trying to make money from it. Chris Gatling played for eight NBA teams during his 11-year NBA career. Stability wasn’t a reality for him while in the NBA. Apparently that is still the case as the former professional basketball player has been charged with various criminal offenses, which include theft, forgery and identity theft. According to a police report, Gatling moved into a Paradise Valley home without the owner’s permission by breaking into a key box. He lived in the home from July 2010 to August 2011. The power was on and it was furnished, but the owner of the home lives in California. Not content with just hanging out in someone’s home, Gatling then decided he wanted to rent out the house he was squatting in. So naturally he put an ad on Craigslist. The ad said: "800-dollars — 4 bedroom Ex-NBA — Paradise Valley Home for rent with pool and utilities included.""

Okay, Micah. <----I had to resist the urge not to post that because I know it's going to up my comment count. ;)
- Jenny H
But how many of those primordial, high interest posts are still active. Uh huh. :)
- Micah
Thanks, Morton. BTW, when you posted in February, it was exactly 0.13 also.

Jenny, resistance is futile; embrace the rising tide of comments.

Comments are more difficult and time consuming than Likes. I'd be happy about a high comment:likes ratio except that many are surely imported from feeds, while every Like is manual.

Two years later and my ratio has climbed from 3.4 to 4.675. I've got a lot to say, apparently.

Funnily, I didn't notice until after leaving that comment that when I reported my stat in 2009 I also followed it up with "I've got stuff to say." I didn't say it was *new* stuff...
