Tendown June 7, 2015

177 is here. This is Tendown 178.

1. Warriors in 6. Long version.

2. Warriors in 6. Short version.

3. Scalia. Creationist.

4. More Duggar Details.

More Duggar Lies.

5. Rome, Final Days.

That's a good snasphot of the right wing mindset - a personal choice=downfall of civilization; not the punishing lack of economic security and political access for virtually every American at the expense of a small class of ultra wealthy.  Rome wasn't ended by the transgendered; Rome was ended by an endless thirst for power by by powerful and a constantly widened gulf between those powerful and the masses.  Rome, Final Days is the ethos of the GOP.  

But seriously - for those of us old enough to remember before he became a Kardashian - Bruce Jenner is a woman.  Ain't that a thing?

6. Every Week Until He Stops - Vote for Bernie Sanders.

7. They Kill You In the Red States.

8. 

9.

10. Look at what the Guardian is doing.

And one more...

That's all for this time.  I'll be back next time.  If there is a next time...

Your pal,

Jim

2015 NBA Finals Prediction

The first NBA season was 1946-47 (actually, it wasn't the NBA yet, but it's the lineal forerunner).

Since then - here are the teams that have hit 10 SRS (that's simple rating system, I make a lot of reference to it for historical comparison).

1971 Bucks 11.92 - NBA Champs
1972 Lakers 11.65 - NBA Champs
1972 Bucks 10.70 - Lost to Lakers in Western Finals
1992 Bulls 10.07 - NBA Champs
1996 Bulls 11.60 - NBA Champs
1997 Bulls 10.70 - NBA Champs
2015 Warriors 10.01 -

That's it.  That's the list.  The greatest teams of all time; Oscar and Kareem; the Wilt/West team that won 33 straight.  3 of Jordan's teams.  The only team that didn't win the finals was that '72 Bucks team and they lost to the Laker team.

Before the playoffs, I gave you the Warriors.  I'm giving them to you again.

The Golden St Warriors, lets say in 6 games, are your 2015 NBA Champs.
