I really appreciate the post, Tom. It was concise and thoughtful. Much better than a lot of the basketball coverage on this site containing:

Kinda hard to re2pect this a22hole anymore.

Being known as the “Racist Lawyer” for the rest of your life is second only to being the “Crying Nazi.”

If the NY Post is giving you a hard time about racially insensitive remarks then you truly are the bottom of the barrel.

I find his discomfort intensely satisfying. I’ll remember this when he gives out his “sorry to those I offended” bs apology.

I mean they were number 5 in defense..all season long , and have been top 3 during the playoffs in Defense. So...its not a stretch.

I didn’t bother watching because Albert Burneko said that the series was already over.

Usually Curry takes over the next morning. That may just be me though.

Well said. The mythical status of GS has gotten a bit out of hand. They certainly didn’t quit on this game until it was certainly over. Houston proved they can go toe to toe with them. Put down the tired talking-points and enjoy this. We don’t get to see two teams this good go at it often.

‘As well as Houston played, the Warriors seemed affected by the team boredom that occasionally showed up in the regular season.’

Eric Gordon making Burneko look like a pear-shaped Bill Simmons.

Vlade is going to trade 5 future unprotected first round picks to Phoenix to make sure he gets Doncic.

At Coor’s Field you can go to “Biker Jim’s.” It’s $7.50 for an Elk jalapeno cheddar dog. Biker Jim’s has been featured on Food Network and what-not. I’d pay $7.50 for that while attending a ball game, but there’s no way I’d pay damn near $5.50 for a plain hot dog.

Senator Leahy learned from the best.

It’s not shown on the signage, but that $5.45 hot dog in Georgetown comes with a 2018/19 season ticket to the Wizards, so that price is particularly insulting.

The spirit of Tomsula lives on.

The real solution is stop doing gender reveal parties. I just read that some people have paid up to $25,000 for them. The whole concept is fucking stupid.

Counterpoint:

Scott Foster and Tony Brothers will make sure that no cool players get more than 23 minutes tonight. Thanks NBA!
