Give that man a Yeti cooler

Out of ALL the other stuff they let players get away with that is technically a travel, I think that is one of the lesser issues to have concern with. It’s amplified because it’s in the final seconds, but that mentality irritates me because if you miss 5 calls in the first half that helped lead to that scenario at the…

As someone who was rooting for GSW, I actually had no problem with this no call. It happens all the time. There were several other calls and missed calls down the stretch that were also pretty questionable, but sadly most of them were outside last 2 minutes so NBA probably won’t report on them.

NBA teams should never complain about missed travel calls, ever.

It doesn’t get called because they also let an inordinate amount of contact go on those plays.

It happens. Also so does missed shots. Don’t put the refs in that situation, that late in the game. Also, refs have been iffy this postseason.

Best league?

your writing sucks

Too much soup.

ESPN, a sports network, couldn’t make his shitty Basketball Hour match C-SPAN 2 ratings, but HBO is going to make this work? Good luck.

I’d watch a Magary show, but he’d have to wear that shirt every episode.

To be fair, train wrecks can have camera appeal.

Despite the fact that Simmons has, uh, limited camera appeal...

Folded over white bread sandwich filled with BBQ brisket, pickles, onions, and extra BBQ sauce. All y’all northerners can go fuck yourselves.

Pickles are fucking delicious with barbecue!

Well said. Having watched Timmy play center for 4 years at Wake, and play the same style* for 19 years as a pro, I always wondered why he got the PF label. It really does come down to his deference to Robinson, and the NBA press just kept going with it.

The problem is using the traditional five positional names - which I don’t think were in use for the first couple of NBA decades, and don’t really apply to the modern league very well - as locked into the “1, 2, 3, 4, 5" thing. When the Spurs had Robinson and Duncan, they were playing two traditional centers, one at…

He could have been one of the best centers of his generation, but for some stupid reason people kept calling him a power forward.

I’m basing that mainly on his run in Tampa Bay, where he consistently won 90-plus games in the AL East with low payrolls and teams that didn’t always look that great on paper in part because he had more effect on the game as played on the field than any manager since Tony La Russa.

Joe Maddon had a higher win percentage in his years in Tampa compared to Bochy despite that their payroll was 30% of SF’s. I don’t want to diminish Bochy, but come the fuck on.
