So, LeBron will finish with three championships.  He's exactly half as good as Jordan.

We can make a fine non-gentleman’s internet bet right now if you’d like. If the Warriors get by the Rockets, they beat either of those teams with relative ease.

I'm seeing more uncalled egregious lane violations by others on free throws too.

Honestly, I didn’t think the Warriors looked lethargic. I thought they put a ton of energy into this game from the first whistle, believing this series to be the true championship round. Which they may or may not be right about, depending on how good Milwaukee really is.

Jokic does throw his literal weight around quite a bit, but not typically in ways that I think are unfair.  The play you point out is an exception (he really did shove Kanter, two hands, fully extended), but for the most part what I am seeing is two guys ramming shoulders, and one is just bigger and stronger.  That’s…

He made many millions. And probably had a better career than Boban.

Back foot not set until after Harden was in the air. Classic “could go either way,” I think. Given time of the game, I’m not at all surprised the ref swallowed the whistle

Damn good point

I agree, but it was close enough to justify the non-call

But what if I still want to White Knight on behalf of others?

This sounds like what I tell myself every time the Warriors play my Timberwolves. Towns is the most efficient post scorer in the league, and shoots threes better than Jokic. Sometimes he straight abuses Green on the block. More often than not, it doesn't matter much.

I think the defense of that group deserves a nod as well. They have so much length that they only qualify as a small-ball lineup in that no back-to-the-basket players need to be on court.

Robredo still plays? Talk about burying the lede.

Good point. Though often enough it seems like the housing is incredibly flawed.

It is a pretty sticky problem, and I always dislike it when people pretend it isn’t.  So I appreciate your post.  The only simple statement anyone can make is, in my mind, the following: Roger Goodell is entirely incapable and ill-suited to meting out “justice” on behalf of any organization, let alone one as large as…

Amazing.

Disagree.  The way it could hurt her (and, if the show still had time, presumably would hurt her) is in even further loss of support.  If everyone knows that other houses and even hated foreigners came to fight for the living while she sat it out, whatever few allies she has left would disappear.  Although Jaime said…

Some smart person somewhere wrote an article on how only the best players really bitch to an extreme degree. Maybe on the Ringer? Anyways, its basketball’s version of privilege lashing out.
