While I apologize for the "rape jokes" -- which is a ridiculous characterization of them -- I think that we're witnessing a lot of false outrage. Either that, or we've encountered the 99th percentile of most sensitive folks in America here on the internet. It wouldn't be the first time, I suppose.
Like I said, I think it says a lot about IP's skills as a GM that he can royally screw over another GM and get thanked for the favor. That's Mitch Kupchak-esque. (I would say Auerbach-esque, but nobody liked Red. They knew they were going to get screwed, and they dealt with him anyway.)
Huge steal for IP. I'll be voting for his team all the way to the championship, which is inevitable at this point.
