Ok, but like I said before Dwight Howard won 2 gold medals as the face of adidas. Steph Curry is Under Armour. Both Harden and Curry will be on this summer’s team.

Last season they won 56 games, won the Southwest Division (when all 5 teams made the playoffs), and were the 2 seed in the West. Their comeback from 3-1 down against an (in my opinion) extremely unlikable Clippers team was enjoyable.

Why?

This is kind of comical. Dwight Howard won two gold medals (2008 & 2012) while signed with adidas. Steph Curry is an Under Armour guy, you think he’s getting left off the roster too?

Bickerstaff is making the right move here. Obviously he knows things didn’t really go well in the 71 games he did coach this season, why come back? He will no doubt get at least one more shot at being a head coach. His dad was a coach in the NBA for 32 years (including 15 as a head coach for 4 different teams). He is…

I have no stats to back this up but it feels like NHL teams routinely fire coaches in like the first two weeks of the season.

Dwight Howard will NOT be on the Rockets in 2016-2017.

Spoiler alert: They aren't.

I feel like I have had tons of individual comments promoted to the black text, but still waiting for that “follow for Deadspin” thing to happen.

Jay still works for ESPN (anchoring the 11am-1pm SportsCenter with Chris McKendry) and Dana was actually the original host of the current form of First Take for years before she went back to SportsCenter for like a year and then left for CBS.

Yeah but all those West teams played Golden State, San Antonio & OKC a bunch more times and the East teams all got to play Philly more often (7 full games worse than the Lakers). The West was the better conference (again), it was just really top heavy. There’s obviously never been a 73 win team and a 67 win team in…

But, the Cavs aren’t THAT good either. I mean Detroit is a fucking dumpster fire that accidentally made the playoffs and 3 of those 4 games were really tight! They are going to lose multiple games in every round from here on out, culminating with bowing out of the Finals in 4 or 5.

Counterpoint: Fuck Spurs.

Haha 1990? As recently as 2006 ESPN was doing a segment on Monday Night Countdown called “Jacked Up” where the analysts giddily screamed that phrase while players got absolutely destroyed on the field.

Couple things...first of all, he’s not the best hitter on the team, that’s Adrian Gonzalez and it’s not even close. Second of all, he didn’t really “misplay” this ball. He made a valiant attempt at catching it while leaping and crashing into the wall, but it hit just above his glove and he didn’t come up with it. This…

MLB Network is broadcasting the game tonight (along with the regional affiliates), and they often just simulcast the home team broadcast. I was just listening to the Rich Eisen Show in my car and he had Harold Reynolds on. I found out that no, instead of letting the nation hear Vin Scully on Jackie Robinson Day, MLBN…

Agreed! I’m a Dodgers fan living in the Midwest and I have been buying it every year since 2005 just to listen to him.

This is not an outlandish request. There are 2-3 of these stories to pick from during every game he calls. He is down to just home games and road games vs. the Angels & Giants now, so it wouldn’t be every day but still.

I’m a Dodgers fan living in the Midwest and I buy MLB Extra Innings every year to listen to him. There are 2-3 of these stories every night, and he always knows the most random facts about players from the opposing team. I don’t even want to think about next year without him.

Not just that, they were friends. Vin and his wife Sandy used to hang out with Jackie and Rachel Robinson. He tells an amazing story where they went ice skating together. To sum it up, Jackie had never been on skates before and Vin grew up in New York and knew how quite well, but Jackie still wanted to race him. It’s…
