He won the scoring title and finished second in MVP voting. People get that it’s effective. It doesn’t mean I have to respect the fact he spends way too many offensive possessions trying to exploit and con referees for cheesy free throws.

I think you prevent the Harden-pocalypse by simply acknowledging it’s a strategy that helps you in the regular but not post-season. We’ve seen him not get these calls every year in the playoffs and Houston’s response has been rattling their abacus at the NBA public instead of doing what would be pragmatic: change and e…
“This presumes of course, that there is a right way to play...”
I recollect hearing the same thing when San Francisco legalized gay marriage. Turned out pretty well!
Agree on all counts. I thought Diani was the best player on the field today and was the difference in the game. She was incredibly aggressive and decisive and was involved in almost every legit French chance, even if a few of her shots left you wanting.
He was good for a couple years! He had great hands, could finish, decent defender. Then he suddenly sucked horribly and endlessly. Still was better than Ike Diogu, a different guy I remembered while I was typing this reply.
I did not see this answer before my own. It’s a better answer.
Basically forecloses on the Lakers having the space to add another max dude. So you’re looking at AD, LeBron, Kuzma, three iffy-at-best-young-guys, and, uh, that’s the roster. They need a few things like “a guard” and “any relevant backup at any position.” But don’t worry. Pelinka’s got this.
I would feel bad for Laker fans if I were capable of such a feeling, but Griffin is just cackling over their corpse now
This is a franchise that surrounded LeBron James with Michael Beasley, Javale McGee, and Lance Stevenson. They might not know what they’re doing.
At least AD finally got away from that incompetent franchise that squandered his early prime! He’s gonna love playing with DeShawn Stevenson, Jamario Moon, Andris Biedrins, and some other guys I’m currently remembering.
Yeah, but you aren’t privy to the proprietary Hollinger math that correlates looking like Ted Cruz with win shares so jokes on you, blogboy.
Sir or madam: you have indeed grossed me out. Digital marketing has plenty of scuzz but if you’re trying to sell me a Spotify subscription, I’ve never been all that bothered. Healthcare, on the other hand, remains so on-brand, by which I mean horrible and antithetical and ugh. Thanks. I asked for it.
In Roth’s righteous litany of Shit That Makes Mark Jackson Very Bad, he neglected the whole “preacher who had an affair with a stripper and then got extorted by the stripper” episode. The Festus thing, the stripper thing, or the…
You can’t just tease that shit and not give us a single example. I demand to feel grossed out.
Having a hard time getting worked up about this, personally. The ads on Deadspin are frequently intrusive and bad but I turn Adblock off here because God knows I love this place and I’d like y’all to keep Remembering Guys in perpetuity. There are much, much more troubling ad/partner integrations than a league partner…
Lotta words to say “I too would have shown my ass.”
Some folks are definitely taking it a little too far, but it wasn’t “a few fans.”
Zach Lowe had a cool piece on some of the subtle genius shit Draymond does a few weeks back.
It’s basically been a wet dream since Cohan sold.
