Jeremy Lin donates one million dollars to his alma mater Harvard in Boston, the city he spent 4 years playing for.

**** Harvard. **** Lin. **** them getting more money to ruin my city some more.

I never understood why people will pay money to go to a college, then donate extra money later, after they already paid for college. What other business exchange involves donating like this? I go out to lunch, get a sandwich. Then later I come back in give them a $5 bill for a donation. I buy my house, then 2 years later donate $10,000 to the people I bought my house from. It's bizarre.

wow...what happened to our tank that year anyway...grrrr

I watched the game and I would be concerned if I were Steve Kerr. GS had only 16 assists on 40 baskets, and six of those were from Draymond Green. The Spurs had 25 on 47 baskets. Golden State was also outrebounded 55-35.

Durant took most of Klay Thompson's shots. Meanwhile, the Spurs' bench outscored the Warriors' bench 54-21. Jonathan Simmons (Jonathan who?) had almost as many points by himself as the entire Golden State bench. Simmons, Patty Mills and Ginobili had one open three after another.

yeah, what curm is saying here is the real story here. turnstiles on defense, poor passing, durant still iso'ing on the high post. every time they ran a proper action for him to the basket it worked, like how **** hard is it to get the players to share the ball and pass it.

It's one game. Look how we struggled with the Nets tonight. But yeah I've been suggesting for awhile they could have trouble. We'll see.

[Andrew McCeltic]

And yeah I hate this league so f*cking much sometimes... Myles Turner to Indiana because we made a late playoff run. Embiid in Philly, and Hinkie got **** on the way out the door. Now Anthony Davis puts up 50 on .500 shooting, in a loss. Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck. Davis being wasted in New Orleans is so bad for the league...

[Andrew McCeltic]

And Nurkic put up 23/9 while Jokic put up bad numbers.

[Andrew McCeltic]

Sad that Hinkie won't get to see his product flourish and the fool BC will get credit.

Hinkie will have 20 years to think about it. Philly is not good.

They're not good, but Embiid is legit. Okafor and Noel can get traded for help at different positions. Such sh*t luck that Simmons got hurt.

[Writebloc]

Hello Harden, 12 pts and 9 assists in the first quarter.

[reload141]

End of the season.... come on Anthony throw in the towel in NO you know you want to! I really think we need to make our move this offseason... land that superstar talent

[ConstableGeneva]

My fantasy guy Clarkson coming alive in the 2nd half -- 23 points and clutch baskets with a minute left! HATE that the Lakers are about to win though.

[SMTBSI]

HATE that the Lakers are about to win though.

Puts 'em a game ahead of Brooklyn.

That Davis statline is incredible,

If you saw how poorly universities invest their endowments it's yet one more reason not to donate.

I was in private equity back in 2008 when the market collapsed and had endowment managers telling me left and right they knew they were making bad decisions (i.e. decisions that cost them billions of dollars) because that's what everyone else was doing and they'd keep their jobs that way. If they had the courage to do something different they might (in retrospect almost certainly WOULD) have saved that money, but if doing the right thing HADN'T worked, it would have meant risking their ass.

After that any time I get donation calls from my college I tell them "no thanks, your investment managers will just piss it away eventually anyways".
