It’s the East. Teams that were tanking made the post-season.

Fuck me, right?

Because no one cares.

Jerry West lost in eight Finals.

As a Cavs fan I can say I am completely well balanced about this situation. Also I hope Olynyk gets hit by lightning

4-6 months? He should be back for the ECF.

Gonzaga thugs strike again.

Well, I think I speak for everyone when I say that it’s fine if women want to focus on this aspect of La’el Collins’ life. I GET THAT. AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. But at the end of the day, I’m a football fan, and we want to see great players be great and that’s what I’m concerned with.

My point of course is that Americans are loud and rude, but unlike European soccer our sporting events are supposed to be at least somewhat safe, fun and kid-friendly. There’s plenty of cursing and fighting and nonsense going on in the stands, regardless of sport, but most fans here also have a modicum of decency &…

Crowd Rules By Sport

This is not a common American opinion. Generally speaking, home crowds in baseball, basketball, hockey, and football, and other team sports, are encouraged to be as loud as possible when it will benefit the home team. Your question is based on a false premise.

Or maybe the numbers show that the Clips perform poorly on offense for the next couple minutes after H-a-J, standing around and…

I’d love to see a rule change in regards to this. If DeAndre is going up for a dunk, then yes, foul him. Same for any other player. But, I don’t want to see a guy bear-hugging Jordan 86 feet away from the hoop. Something something about morals, but in reality, it just makes unwatchable basketball.

Has anyone calculated Jordan’s FT% in “Hack-a-Jordan” situations vs. all other situations? It seems possible that his knowledge that the other team is deploying that strategy could materially affect his concentration and therefore his shooting percentage.

I still have faith in you Mango! You're still my favorite spacy to watch. Thank God for PPMD and holding down Apex for the USA though.

This might be the first time in super bowl media coverage that a team will complain about too many soft ball questions.

Meanwhile, Packer fans are still waiting for Mike McCarthy's balls to show up.

Ugh.

Hold on Barry, you actually expect me to believe that the NFL knew about a problem and failed to act on it?
