It wasn’t a travel or a double dribble. The ball was knocked loose. One ref called it a travel and the other ( who wasn’t behind Harden’s back ) said no.

That, as well as the 2nd quarter of game 4, the entirety of game 2 and most of game 5.

Arsenal’s leadership know exactly what the club’s identity is. It’s a team that will continue to spend less than it’s ‘rivals’ and will continue to offer lower wages to star players than other teams with similar means. They’ll also continue to be a team that sells it’s best players, including to other PL clubs.

Puma has been so f’n bad as a kit supplier. They have yet to turn up with a design that isn’t trash. It’s made worse by the fact that Nike, in their last season with Arsenal, brought some of the best Arsenal kits ever as if to foreshadow Puma’s failures.

He’s also far better than most national-level sports broadcasters at shelving his biases.

Fingers flew with astonishing speed into the ears of XcelorinV2 as they closed their eyes and began to say: “lalalalalalalalalalala I can’t hear you lalalalalalalalala...”

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

Most years I would agree, but this season, they’ve looked sloppy, content and kinda lazy. Even Durant, to be honest, but he can get away with it because he’s unguardable. The other guys can’t.

Imagine that.

Liar. If you’d skipped the article you couldn’t have commented on it.

Thompson, even though he’s had a couple of good scoring games, has been a turnover machine and despite his defensive reputation, hasn’t really been shutting anyone down either. He’s having a series to forget.

Nobody claims the Rockets are deeper than that though.

I’d love to see someone bring back Delahaye or something as a direct Bugatti competitor. Hyperspeed, hyperplush land yachts could be the new French niche in the automotive world. Rather than just being weird, which has been their thing for quite a while.

They didn’t buy anyone, they traded for him and had to give up a very good player ( Castro ) to do so.

They both basically abandoned 2 point shots in the last 3 minutes, but also couldn’t hit 3s. It was ugly.

That shit get’s me every time.

In the Yao + Francis/Yao + McGrady years Rockets coverage was usually pretty positive, it was only the results that didn’t measure up.

I was telling my brother a couple of weeks ago that LeBron going to Philly or Boston might make more sense than any other potential destination. I want it to happen just to see the fury it unleashes.

It doesn’t fit the model of the Warriors as the perfect team and doesn’t fit the narrative of invincibility, so no. Sportswriters will never stop clinging to it like a baby gorilla on it’s momma’s back.

You know that the Yankees haven’t operated that way since George Steinbrenner died, right?
