How’s this for a sanction? We convert to renewable energy, make a fortune selling the tech, & eat popcorn while the petro-states cannibalize each other into the Stone Age. Just a thought.

@stephenasmith Yo SA, you gettin' it now lol... I moved to Oxford from Los Angeles & was like wtf. Then I spent time there. Ever since it lives in my heart... & now you KNOW lol. Pro-tip, randomly say "Hotty Toddy!" & it bounces back automatically, which is still hilarious to me

...btw, you were there after an L & you don't need to tell me how the fans were. They were full of vigor, then acknowledgement, & grace/joy amirite? I've seen it dozens of times. Even when Lane blew so many games by going for it on 4th & short, they were cool. That's context.

Hey @KingJames, you wanna Jackson or a Kerr, not some nut who's gonna have a psychotic break on every day that ends w/ a "y"

It's like the @Lakers took the entire phil jackson approach to the game & said "let's do the f'n opposite & hire an abusive dad-coach who doesn't know what he's doing"... B/c coaching is about family. This was not a family. This was a dickhead violating players' trust.
