There was a stretch in 2004 when the Detroit Pistons, after getting Rasheed Wallace via trade, held 11 teams under *seventy* points, including five teams in a row. I watched the Nets celebrate like they’d just won the championship when they broke that streak by scoring 71 in a loss.

I yearn for those 81-76 games of the 90s when half the points came from free throws and Rodman technicals. Actually, no I don’t.

The NBA is an embarrassment of riches right now if you like watching skilled, multi-faceted players who aren’t particularly interested in adhering to traditional positions. Which I do, because Jesus, who wouldn’t like that?

Judging from that first tweet, there’s about an 85% chance the person running the Nuggets’ Twitter had just finished smoking a huge bowl while watching a nature documentary.

Holy fuck, that’s just fucking awful. One of the best pitchers I’ve ever seen. Look at these fucking performances. No skin in any of the teams he played for, just saddened at the loss of a guy I truly enjoyed watching.

Although he may best be remembered for his no hitter/perfect game with the Phillies, Halladay will always be a Blue Jay, especially since he was still flying south for the winter.

Sometimes, Giri, when a man has been pushed past his breaking point and has nothing left to lose, sometimes a man decides it’s time to shoot first and ask questions later.

Not gonna lie, Grit Rick Rubio is currently the most attractive player in the NBA, and we should be ashamed for not noticing him sooner.

That is like saying the less reeking turd is the best turd in the punch bowl. No one is even remotely impressed by Indiana’s top Med school (guessing #1 is U of Phoenix?) letalone their 2nd.

I don’t know, I’ve spent a lot of time at Joshua Tree, 29 Palms and other places around there and have run into some walking, talking definitions of sketchy. Charles Manson and his crew used to frequent the area around Amboy Crater. I always had a gun.

The thing I mainly took away from that piece is that constant need for growth and how it explains what is probably the biggest problem for the Athletic. They want every single of those 100,000 die-hard Chicagoan sports fans to subscribe so they can’t say anything controversial. This is probably why the Athletic has…

It’s the Spurs! Murray was projected as a lottery pick last draft, and when he fell to the Spurs, everyone called it one of the great steals of the draft.

Detroit is awesome. Your take is tired and shitty.

What a shame that nobody was there to see Andre Drummond shoot 100% from the foul line.

Makes you want to move to Detroit. Cheap housing and I bet floor seats are a steal. Of course, 1. you’d be living in Detroit and 2. they’d be Pistons floor seats. But you have to take the good with the bad.

Acela is only an hour and fifteen minutes. Many people in other parts of the country have longer car commutes (not that I’m recommending this—I live in South Philly, but work from home).

Wilt’s involvement in trains is well documented

When Wilt Chamberlain played for the Philadelphia Warriors, he lived in Manhattan and commuted to practices and games. Practices were shifted to the afternoon to accommodate him. The worst part is that Wilt grew up in Philadelphia.

I remember him.
