If the bench wasn’t all centers, Golden State might be using them more. Those other dudes are too slow to be useful and Harden has been consistently getting to the line when they’re on the floor.

No. Burneko is a reliable bad take dispenser, but Billy Haisley is the worst overall by some measure.

Late in the last 2 games they’re both pressing full court and not letting the guards carry the ball up uncontested. looking for lead passes with a guy in your face probably isn’t the best strategy, so they aren’t really trying and the few times they did usually resulted in turnovers. Transition buckets are also only…

The Warriors have been pretty beat up by injury and the Rockets are actually good even though they should probably already be eliminated by now.

Fatigue is definitely part of it. These guys, on both teams, aren’t usually the sort to miss wide open shots or turn the ball over so carelessly. but defensively both teams have done a good job eliminating what the other does best.

He was moving like a guy with a cramp and didn’t look too worried about it. Unless they report otherwise, I don’t think it’s that concerning.

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.

Out of the corner of my eye I read it as ‘canned vagina sausage’. Ew.

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.
