wrong. i’m the dry heat guy, but not the lake effect snow guy.

Who did they call the infraction against? My understanding was that the guy who came in motion was still moving slightly forward when the ball was snapped, but the announcers seemed to believe the flag was against one of the linemen.

Calling Kuz a “half-decent player” is...very generous. Nice guy, but he plays zero defense, his shooting is streaky, and he’s 28, so he’s not going to get any better.

Hernangomez and Ntilikina are...not the right players for the point you’re trying to make here? Billy was 1st team all rookie last year and Ntilikina is a rookie lottery pick. They’ve both promising players who could have plenty of star power one day.

Luka Doncic had 14 points and 7 rebounds against CSKA Moscow yesterday.

come on, buddy. I’m a huge yankees fan, but like, don’t be that guy.

Baseball is different, because any team that makes the playoffs can win the world series and so fans of any team .500 or better (which logically should be about half the league) can really invest in a regular season and feel the excitement of a playoff race. It’s much less exciting to invest in an NBA regular season…

Five? I’m thinking 7. But a really uncompetitive 7. Where like they lose the first five games of the season, and then scratch out meaningless victories where guys play way over their head and blow the team’s chance at getting any sort of high draft pick, much less the #1 pick required to have a good chance at a…

I don’t think you’re wrong, but pointing to Peacock’s last outing as if it’s indicative of his overall performance is wrong. His team spotted him a 12-2 lead so he did what pitchers with 10 run leads do, pitch to contact. Gave up three home runs in the process; most other starts he’s kept the ball in the yard.

Brad Peacock has 107 strikeouts in 81.2 innings and has an ERA of 3.20. Justin Verlander is a 34 year old pitcher having an average season. The idea that Verlander is a better bet in a game seven, just because he’s a famous pitcher, doesn’t make sense to me. Perhaps there are some intangible ideas of “handling the…

The rumor floating around the ‘net is that someone tipped Euron off, and the obvious candidate is the Queen of Thorns, who just delivered her “you don’t need to rely on your subordinates” spiel to Dany.

That’s not how youtube subscriptions work. Email is not involved. You just have a “subscription box” where you can scroll through the recent uploads from channels you like. Much less intense than you’re thinking.

Ours has always been a “Costco gold membership” family: Pays for itself if you go there enough, you get your choice of Clifton Commons or Willowbrook, and the reference to precious metals is enough to make you feel subtly superior to the plebs.

I’m a proud Montclair native today. The Communists will surely be abuzz about this one in the bread line (at Whole Foods).

Drafting Frank was clearly a move spurned on by Clarence Gaines, the scout who is responsible for kp and Willy being knicks. How about we let the kid play a single game before we write him off as a bust?

the thing i love is how people talk about replay slowing down the game, as if the alternative — a team sees a bad call and spends the next two minutes complaining about it to the ref — is any quicker.

Excuse me for being interested in the players, not the fucking referees.

These exact complaints (“it ruins the flow of the game! it’s still subjective! it’s too confusing!”) always come up every time instant replay gets added to a sport, and they’re all bs. VAR has some kinks that need to be worked out, but the system is ultimately going to correct a LOT more wrong calls than it makes, and…

Yankees fan here. We knew all along. Fun guy though!

This was always my favorite Shump highlight. Bottom line is that after he had his knee injury he never showed the same tenacity as in his rookie season.
