JR Smith has broken the Cavs' will

He's broken it again (3x). I mean, cmon Brandon Knight falls over scorers tables everyday and gets dunked on so hard he dies, but at least he knows what the score was.

I tried to take a nap but it was pretty much just me lying awake in bed with my eyes closed for an hour and a half. That's why I hate naps. I don't know, I'm still kind of tired but it's like by the time I went to go take a nap my body decide it's going to be awake now

I need to go to a sleep clinic because I feel like that every day. But I also wake up 5-10 times at night.

I get up like five times a night too but usually I end up feeling okay the next day. Right now I'm just fucking exhausted though and don't feel like doing anything

I used to wake up all through the night but I got my current bed 2 months ago and it changed my life. I sleep through the night and it's amazing. So if you guys have been on your current beds for a while you might consider a new mattress or something. If you want. I don't know anything.

I got my new mattress like two and a half years ago so I feel like I gotta wait a while before I get a new one. I don't know if any bed will really help, it's probably just an issue with me. The thing is you gotta try beds out for like a month before you really know, but even if they'll take it back for a full refund, going through the process of returning them and going mattress shopping is just too much of a hassle to do over and over again

On the plus side, I was glad today when I realized I didn't have to go to work at 7 AM to deal with some mostly pointless bullshit with a client. You guys hear me complain a lot about not having a job, but I just don't take enough time to realize and appreciate all the dumb stuff I don't have to do anymore

Woooohoooooo

Today is the MLB draft I guess. I hope the Rockies draft Seth Beer

The Orioles drafted a HS pitcher. Yay...

Imagine graduating high school and immediately playing for a baseball organization at that age.

The Giants got a catcher at #2. Maybe it will be the first time they've had a top prospect in a long time and it's funny that it's going to be one of their last top prospect's replacement.

I really like the Giants pick. Bart is going to be solid

For what it's worth, I correctly predicted the first six picks tonight. i m smart

That's game. Carlson PP goal.

FUCKING FUCK YEAH

I want to believe

More like CUPitals

Is any team gonna draft that pedophile sex offender???

hey he said he didn't do it, okay?

in all seriousness, he'll probably get drafted in round 2

Our nation's Capitals are so close.

The Astros got Beer. Sad day. He belongs with the Brewers, Rockies or Cardinals

Damn go Caps. The first ever championship for a long running franchise always seems crazier to me than a streak ender like the Cubs or whatever. I hope they can finish it off

I hope so too, but Caps have choked away five 3-1 leads in their history, most of any NHL team...

I'm sad Beer is not on the Giants because I imagine they could have some cheap beer nights using him as the promo guy.

I do not respect Vegas. They embellish constantly and take cheap shots down late.

remember when Fleury was good

They did tonight and that one player really got his clock cleaned.

What this can't be a real name

I looked him up and his twitter bio displays "Trump Supporter". Baseball players are very cool

(to clarify, I know that probably most baseball players are Trump supporters, but most of them keep quiet about politics)

There is zero excuse for the Braves leaving teheran and goharra in for as long as they did this inning. Holy fuck I cannot understand the thought process there

This guy just posts whatever weird stat he saw sports center tweet, don't take it personally.

@Chewster I think he was like 13 at the time but lol

Whatever he's a Rockies first round pitcher so he's basically a guaranteed bust anyway

And by "guaranteed bust" I mean he'll put up two or three half-seasons with a 6+ ERA here and then have a decent but unremarkable major league career with three or four other teams

Well, the Caps do have Tom Wilson...

SportsCenter had nothing to do with it, genius.

Edgeworth: *taps fmindex finger on forehead condescendingly* still not getting it, Wright. The boy doesn't actually know sports. We've seen this time and again, and yet you keep defending it. We saw this with his Walter Johnson posting the other day. We see it now with his further random usage of stats he got from Twitter. This is all he does, and it's all he'll ever do. You can't prove that he got the information elsewhere because you don't have the evidence. Even the (green text now) paper trail the prosecution has amassed (back to regular text) proves you wrong. Lick your wounds, admit defeat, and maybe you'll win the next one.

Phoenix: *presents Tyvulpine's search history from the court record* Funny you bring that up, Edgeworth, because that's exactly what's going to turn this case around.

Edgeworth: ...

Phoenix: *tapping piece of paper in front of him* because not only can we see from my client's search history that he wasn't on Twitter last night ....

(Zoom in on Phoenix's face with anime battle lines behind him as the music changes to the cornered theme)

He was actually reading Wikipedia!

Edgeworth: ....

CaptainHammer. Is this true?

CaptainHammer: (face suddenly shrouded in darkness) heh. Heh. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

Very bold move to put yourself on the side of the prosecution in this bit but I respect it

It makes sense, because in the games the defense always has an ace up their sleeves to roast the prosecution, much like how he got roasted

And thats supposed to disprove my post how exactly? If youd pull your head out of your ass for one minute and research those five seasons instead of being an ass, then gee, I wonder what youd find?
Now I remember why I dont like posting on PotD, its full of assholes.

If you actually read the skit, you'd see that you were the triumphant party

...well, that was a bit of an overreaction.

Damn he's really mad about some good-natured ribbing

The las vegas golden knights are at the point of no return now.

It would have been one thing if they made it to the playoffs, made it to round 2 but had some rough patches and got eliminated. a couple of handclaps for effort and some tv interviews.
But they didn't get eliminated & now they are being looked & watched at by people that don't even know who Wayne Gretsky is but have brought like 3 golden knights jerseys already.

What better jumpstart to create a fanbase than winning the trophy the 1st time you were made official.

What

Max Scherzer is so awesome. He's from St. Louis and has heterochromia. The Cardinals didn't want to defer money so now he's a Washington National when he should be playing here. He spent the first two years of his 7 year contract as the second best pitcher in baseball and in the year and a half since then he's been the best. It's probably the best 9 figure free agent contract of all time and the only catch is that it's paid out over 14 years which actually helps the team

He threw an immaculate inning today, as well (which may have influenced your post). He seems to have somehow taken it up a notch from last year too, which in itself is remarkable.
