Stay hard, Atlanta Hawks


If the Nuggets pull it off, which they can't, the Lakers are stuck in No Man's Land barring some great move.

I think the Nets have a chance of keeping Deron because of the move to Brooklyn and the Mavs being swept. Neither is a perfect situation, but Nets have a less complicated path forward.

HFrog71 (and anyone else) what are your thoughts on the discussion about awarding Purple Heart medals to service men and women who are victims of domestic terror attacks?
http://www.washingto...ism-deserve-pu/


I'm inclined to agree with King and Lieberman in the abstract, but I think the Defense Dept is correct in the 2 cases cited. Neither one really was a terrorist incident, IMO. Both were more isolated criminal acts than planned and executed attacks.

Words to live by......an ongoing concern......

 

Vulgarity is like art - everybody thinks they know what it is, yet nobody can agree on what it is.

 

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it...no matter how off-base it is.

The Nuggets are getting big contributions from the haul they got for Carmelo...

Here is the key point: "If somebody is hurt or killed in a terrorist attack, then they deserve a Purple Heart. It depends on who defines what an act of terrorism is.”

Historically, the Purple Heart has been awarded for wounds received in action against the enemy. The criteria has been expanded/clarified in recent years:

Executive Order 11016, dated 25 April 1962, included provisions for posthumous award of the Purple Heart.

Executive Order 12464, dated 23 February 1984, authorized award of the Purple Heart as a result of terrorist attacks or while serving as part of a peacekeeping force subsequent to 28 March 1973.

Public Law 99-145 authorized the award for wounds received as a result of "friendly fire".

If the events at Fort Hood and Little Rock can, indeed, be categorized as "terrorist attacks", then, yes, award of the PH would be appropriate. However, I am personally reluctant to call them such.

BTW, the most undeserved PH I knew of was worn by a guy I worked with in San Antonio. He got a shard (singular) of glass in his arse when a Euro-anarchists blew up a car in a parking lot outside his building on Ramstein AFB. But he acted like he was a modern day Audie Murphy...

Yeah, but look at their future. Not a lot of room to move, IIRC, and they may be a first round exit.

I think their biggest advantage is that the Lakers are flaky.

They've got a pretty good (and young) little team.

Beckett's postgame performance was even worse than his pitching performance.

Oh, I haven't seen that yet. I'm excited now...

No elite player and no room to get one. That's the trap. Isn't McGee a FA? I think there's renewed interest in him.

He a restricted FA. They might have some extra money to use depending onwhat happens with the investigation of the Birdman.

I'm not trying to say that Denver is an elite team. I just think they're better off than if they'd kept Carmello.
