Which helps explain why the two games that they played against each other were so great.

You're talking about a team that fans who at the beginning of the season would be grateful just to see make the playoffs. I'd be overjoyed with winning a playoff series (hasn't happened since 200)—anything beyond that would just be gravy.

I read a different version of the reaction of the father here, which was more positive: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/mich…

Darvin Ham's dunk where he touches the backboard with the ball still in his hands and then dunks it was one of the most impressive dunks ever. Too bad the judges at the time had no idea what was going on.

I'm offended that you think that Catholics are the only people that believe in saints.

The ref at midcourt calls the foul, at least 3 seconds after anything possibly could have occurred. I'd like to see footage from before this just to get an idea, because Joakim is right: this is just pure garbage. He shouldn't have to apologize and say the refs are just doing their job—the refs are terrible at it,…

Can't Sherman and Crabtree just fuck and get it over with?

As tools for measuring defensive effectiveness, Win Shares and PER kind of suck.

...and Louisiana's, and probably Arkansas's as well.

You're right. In their pure state found in nature, they're just considered guns. When these rifles frolic in the wild, they're as docile as can be. It's the language police that has unfortunately slandered their peaceful nature.

Yeah, this has all the looks of a designed play. Colston has never done anything that would make me believe that he'd just up and decide to try for this lateral on his own.

Too fucking true.

This is the true tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

I know at least with my cats, they ate the heads. I think they made sure that I saw them do it once, as you know, a warning.

Best of luck, Dom. Thanks for all the great work.

We're talking about a team that has surprised everybody to come together and now lead the Western Conference. They've done it at home and on the road. They've beaten San Antonio, Golden State, Indiana, and now Oklahoma City. They would be a perfect example for a dissection to see how they've improved.

Oh for fuck's sake. If you were just going by Deadspin stories, you'd think the Blazers were the Washington Generals of the NBA.

As a Blazer fan, I agree. On the other hand, what Paul George did last night was incredible, and he nearly pulled off a ridiculous comeback by himself. Though I wouldn't mind if the Blazers got a more in-depth post at some point.

That's why I like it, because it emphasizes the artificiality. None of the flavors come close to resembling actual fruit tastes. If they did, no one would drink yellow.
