Selfish play by Bogut there, as well as demonstration of his lack of understanding about what counts as a block.

A bunch of their losses were against bad or mediocre teams. They lost to the expansion Raptors (21-61), Heat (42-40), Hornets (41-41), Nuggets (35-47), and Suns (41-41).

“Before the game, the Lakers had a .190 winning percentage and the Warriors were sitting pretty at .917. That’s the largest gap between winning percentages an NBA team has ever bridged.”

“Build a wall! (around the three point line)“

it would make sense to evaluate this at the end of the season: given the final records, what was the most unlikely victory?

Yeah, needs a “after 50 games...” caveat, or whatever it would be.

Also in baseball:

The last paragraph perfectly sums up the incredible nature of 72-10. Golden State has won 55 of their first 61 games and still have to finish the season with an incredible 18-3 mark to break the record. Will be interesting to see how hard teams play against them as they get closer to the record. Oh, and by the way,…

the Lakers had a .190 winning percentage and the Warriors were sitting pretty at .917.

Chris, what could be more entertaining than watching a man place a ball through an elevated circle over the heads of much smaller men, over and over and over? That sounds like riveting sport to me.

Also lost to the expansion Toronto Raptors, which, besides making it to the second round of the playoffs once, is the franchise’s greatest accomplishment.

Has no 0-1 team beaten a 1-0 team before? What’s the minimum number of games played in your stat?

Also this:

This game answers the question “Can the best college team beat the worst NBA team?”

Naah.
He always sucked.
Because this is how he wrote.
Tiny paragraphs. Stacked.
To make a point.
Which was usually knee-jerk bullshit like this.

I wasn’t aware he was rehired by the Tribune. They bought out good journalists (including friends of mine) to cut costs and re-hired this old sack of crap? No wonder “dead-tree” is…

I remember in Rock ‘N’ Jock Softball they would bring out a softball painted to look like an 8-ball and if you hit a home run it was worth eight points. So in conclusion baseball should do that.

Unless the 300-footer is an inside-the-park home run, in which case it counts the same. Sometimes. Depending on who else was on base.

This article is so stupid. Hell even the hockey goal thing is only sort of right. Yes, it always counts for one point, but with overtime system being what it is, sometimes that one point…

And let’s ignore free throws...

Also a ball hit 450 feet (over the fence) is worth more than one hit 300 feet (not over the fence)... so the homerun is already screwing up his analogy.

By his logic, a point after should be worth three, since it’s a field goal, and by God, all scoring plays better count the same.
