All well and good, but shouldn’t he get a pass for being such a great actor?

Just curious, did your foot doctor also tell you to try to have fun no matter what you do?

I happen to know that the NFL shop will not allow you to order a jersey with the name PUSSCAKE. Just FYI.

No, I just saw it on Twitter last week.

You can’t afford to attend this tournament.

Nah, man. Russ doesn’t get a lot of offensive boards. But this seems like a stat-chasing knock, so: When Russ gets defensive rebounds, those possessions have the highest points-per-100 number in the league by a lot. Seven points more than Houston’s season average. More than 121 points per 100. It’s the only reasonable…

Thanks for the warning about Amy Schumer.

There’s something to this, probably in most locker rooms. Even a lot of former Patriots will tell you that after a couple seasons, it’s just the same vague mumbles over and over again.

Manu said a few weeks ago that he saw Pop coaching until 2020. So maybe wrap that season, then do the Olympics, and go drink wine for the rest of his life. This could obviously change that timeline.

“I went 0-for-7 from 3, I’m letting guys off the hook. I need to keep applying pressure, getting to the rim.”

It’s not squarely on Melo, though he’s certainly been very bad this year (14th-lowest FG% among double-digit scorers in the NBA). The Thunder are a terrible shooting team. They took the second-most shots from 20-24 feet and made the 24th-highest percentage. They took the ninth-most shots from 15-19 feet and made the…

I would imagine he will not be coaching the rest of the season. His mantra is always about how this is just basketball and everything else in life is more important. I’m not even sure it would be much of a decision for him or the organization.

Sorry, but Pop is a goddamned national treasure. Nic Cage found a map to his house on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

I really thought they’d turned a corner. Regular season, anyway, they had. Much better defense this year and seemed to have waves of guys who could do damage offensively. Could be he’s 2005 Mike D’Antoni.

Remember, Horse Gronkowski: It’s not just Gronk riding you. It’s everyone Gronk’s ever ridden who’s riding you...

Russ will always bring some Cholula to that matchup, but in the playoffs, that would be so fun.

I’m nobody, but I’m a big believer in letting other teams inherit your problems. They’re in a really good place at the moment; they don’t definitively need Cousins and they certainly don’t need to lock him up for several years. Given what they’d have to pay to keep him, I’d be more inclined to fill two or three roster…

It’s remarkable that they’ve done what they have while exhibiting almost no discipline on either end of the court. It’s a team that has won by talent and will alone.

As great as Houston is in isolation — nobody does it more; nobody does it better — there’s a huge risk in that if you play a team that can defend your guards and your screener. New Orleans and some version of Oklahoma City can do that. I would still expect Houston to win a series against the Pelicans just based on…

Very hard not to be impressed by what they’ve accomplished since Boogie’s injury. It would have been so easy to fold up the tent on another lost year for Anthony Davis, given the circumstances in the West. They probably can’t beat the Warriors if they’re healthy, but they could have given Houston some real trouble.
