    Derrick Rose Accused of Drugging and Gang Raping Ex-Girlfriend

        Great posts, and, to be clear, it's entirely plausible that it happened. The allegations are horrifying.            Yes, the devil is in the details, but I read every one of those alleged facts as thin. Do you really think it would take two years to bring that complaint? Hard to see.

    Derrick Rose Accused of Drugging and Gang Raping Ex-Girlfriend

      Demands are communicated prior to every civil suit. It's in the interest of the plaintiff to keep the demands private. I'm not sure I understand the point.            Apparently Grin&MartyBarret is a tough guy mind reader who doesn't need "facts" to hop up on a high and mighty bully pulpit.   ...

    Derrick Rose Accused of Drugging and Gang Raping Ex-Girlfriend

      All of that is very thin though.   A man in the apartment doesn't prove or imply gang rape, even if the (drunken) roommate believes the man entered her room.

    Who is your MVP?

    Curry. The Warriors maks a major jump and bag 65+ wins, and Curry gets a huge amount of the credit.

    An RPM of 2.05 last season. How the mighty have fallen.

    Real Plus Minus, good stat?

    It's obviously fair to want to evaluate Marcus Smart, but it's unlikely to me that RPM will be sufficiently predictive in any relevant decision window. What's referred to as "noise" in the model is precisely the matter at hand. There's the roles question that repole points out, but there's many...

    Celtics trade Rondo to Dallas

    Dallas had to have been happy with Rondo's first game. He made fast friends with Monta and in fact dished half of the team's assists. The help the team needs is on defense, though, and Cory Joseph is not a test that will provide a lot of information. On that end to my own naked eye the start was...
