You know, his first year, I didn’t get that sense. Like, he was the guy who figured out that to play the record-setting Warriors better you had to fight over screens all the time. That’s how they got to 3-1 that series. And then the LeBrons used that model.

Billy Donovan has had a pretty bad year as a coach. His schemes defensively have really put the Thunder in bad spots time and again. In particular, getting Adams on an island against guards and forcing Thunder guards to defend either stretch fives or traditional centers in the paint has failed quite a bit. It’s…

- I guess it’s a tug of war between whether it’s more convenient to believe him or not to believe him.

- Oladipo averaged basically his career numbers last year — same points, better shooting, fewer assists and rebounds — so it’s hard to make the case he was being held back then. This year, all season long, he has credited Westbrook’s maniacal style of play for his huge improvement.

He’s had a worse season in nearly every category and his team has underperformed. I think those characteristics were different last year. Also, Harden wasn’t on the best team in the league, so his more clear-cut case of team superiority this year is more valid. Last year, he led an overperforming team with eight more…

Six moons should give Boban enough time to perfect his bread recipe, made out of the ground bones of an Englishman.

It wasn’t even “Give up your guns.” The Weimar Republic took their guns before Hitler was giving speeches in beer halls. That government took EVERYBODY’S guns in the early 1920s. Hitler loosened gun laws, though not to Jews or some other groups, but the confiscation — whether it ultimately mattered or not — happened…

What’s worse is that this highlight appeared exactly the same on every Sinclair station.

It’s all their world-famous steaks.

As always, God had no comment.

That guy Becka needs a better-fitting shirt. It’s riding too high up on his necka.

If I’m guessing, that’s because of Brock’s audible and very visible “Mother fucker!” during the match. I would think the elbows were always part of the plan.

I would go along with all of that. Joe could absolutely be that guy. And he’s more of a pure heel, which Lesnar escapes because Heyman is so incredibly over. So that sets up a nice program with Joe and (presuming there’s something to my earlier theory) Rollins to get the belt back on a face heading into Mania next…

I would imagine they want to build to a Rousey/Flair main event next year. Charlotte’s ring work has gotten very good over the past six to nine months and I can only imagine where she’ll be in a year. With Ronda, they just need to get her a good moveset — some suplexes, some action in the corner, etc. — but she didn’t…

After Roman lost, I honestly started thinking that after his excellent Raw match last month, WWE may be feeling that way about Seth. He’s just a better option. Connects with the crowd and can go with anybody. He’s also better on ESPN or Good Morning America or whatever. Not sure what else you need, other than a better…

No, that’s hard way, the same thing Lesnar did to Orton. Elbow to the hairline. I assume because of the MMA connection, Lesnar’s matches frequently have blood. Vince is obviously OK with it, because he’s busted open a number of guys over the past four years.

A lot of it, legitimately, is that WWE doesn’t want guys getting injured so they limit their move sets. Nobody’s ever going to actually get injured by an F5, but Lesnar did break Hardcore Holly’s neck once! So because they need a bunch of reactions during PPVs, they load up on the finishers, because the crowd knows…

I was surprised by the Charlotte/Asuka ending, but also thought that was one of the best-worked matches I’d seen in that division in a long time. They are clearly all in with Charlotte. The Rousey match was great for what it was and she really had the crowd into it. Her character work was really good. She sold very…

This news really flattens me.
