I’m so torn. I want Boston to beat the Cavs because the Cavs beat the Raptors so I want them to go down (I don’t subscribe to that “you want to be beaten by the best team” thing; I subscribe to REVENGE, even if it’s revenge by proxy) but it also just shows what the Raps SHOULD have done, what they COULD have done, but…

I typed out a comment about the value of veteran leadership in a point guard with Finals experience, but then again Kyrie probably spends most of halftime planning to show Brad Stevens anti-vaccine YouTube videos.

Starting to feel legitimately good about the Bucks taking them to seven games.

A Rafael Nadal post sure is an interesting place to assert that a sport has “no way to play defense.”

Shit man, I had forgotten! Boston fans suck too. Damn, what a crazy 12 minutes that was.

If I can’t enjoy a jerk who has talent, I’m going to struggle to watch pro sports.

The game of The Rockets was lost in the late 90s. This version of The Rockets isn’t really sport, but basic entertainment for the dude on the street that has no idea what to do with his life. He watches The Rockets for a few years, drinks craft beer, and eventually dies.

I would not enjoy basketball if every team played like the Rockets. But watching one team working the analytics to this zenith I think is pretty fun to watch and it is hard not to enjoy Harden and Paul.

This isn’t even good trolling. Today’s game doesn’t look anything like the ISO ball of peak Iverson. You might as well complain about the gimmick that is the wildcat formation in the NFL.

In many American cities, without their security detail, Ronaldo and Messi might get ICE called on them...

You’ve got a Boston team winning waaaay to high on a list of desirable outcomes.

The Celtics two winning outcomes not being last is a greater mistake than Marchman’s cereal choices.

Ah, I see we’re going with the best possible outcome in ninth and everything else is worse than being hit by a car. Good list.

Brad Stevens not getting one vote for coach of the year is a farce.

Sadly, there isn’t.

Go Rockets.

I can’t be the only one who thinks Clint Capela is the most important person in this series, right? If he plays well on both ends, knocking shots into other dimensions, rolling and dunking, the Rockets have a real shot, but if he’s outright owned by Durant it’s over.

The Raptors were dead the second the Cavs won game 1, they absolutely had no right winning that game.

Ben Simmons’s shooting is Grizzly, Man.
