You know, not that SAS doesn’t have his faults or bad takes, but he’s never been nearly as bad as either Skip or Cowherd. Or Whitlock. He’s not a dog whistle racist like Cowherd, he’s not whatever invectives you’d like to throw at Whitlock (all deserved). And he’s not a pointless contrarian like Skip.

Melo,  a first and Terrance Ferguson for Kevin Love. Who says no? Cavs get young assets and an expiring contract, Thunder get closer to relevant.

Here’s a question... if you took the combined roster of the rest of the NBA, could you create a 7/8 man rotation that would be likely to beat the Warriors in a 7 game series? From the best I can figure...

You get Chris Paul for distributing, defending on Steph.
Someone like Tatum or Brown to be a switchy wing guy that…

The next year saw the rest of the league get into it, and it made one bold prediction for the future that I think we can all get behind. They moved the Mets to an inhospitable desert planet - a move that surely was better for all mankind.

Isaiah is currently beefing with the Cavs, Suns, Kings, Celtics and whoever ends up with LeBron.

Maybe I’m being too sensitive, but isn’t calling it a “playful” gesture pretty much in line with the whole thinking of “boys will be boys”? Plus the note at the end about him being 23. 

The Angels suffer because they chose to spend on the wrong things and they chose to be cheap at the wrong times.

The Warriors could give Josh Smith regular minutes and he would somehow end up with a ring.

Here are some true facts about the Warriors and Cavs’ payroll.

James also fell short of passing Jordan on the all time postseason scoring list by just 12 points. I know he had a broken hand, but James absolutely could have done that if he cared enough. But it absolutely woukd have felt wasted in this series, a further distraction from pointing out the real problem- the Warriors…

I really do think Manning played this wrong. He took HGH to fix his neck, because it was fucked up in ways regular medicine couldn’t repair. It’s not the same thing as Mark McGwire or Barry Bonds taking steroids on healthy athletic bodies to hit more homers.

LeBron was incredible this series, but for a moment I want to admire his off the court greatness here. Van Gundy’s talking point about this being LeBron’s greatest accomplishment led to him being asked a question about it as he walked off the court. There were seemingly no good answers - he could agree and trash the…

I wonder if anyone can confirm if his number had a decimal point at the bottom. 911 by itself is weird, 91.1 would sound more like a velocity reading. Which, considering all the stuff Bauer is into about increasing velocity, I’m sure there’s plausibly some story there.

Iillegal defense hasn’t been on the NBA rulebook for close to two decades now. The only thing that exists is the 3 second rule about planting a guy in the paint. Playing zone is perfectly legal

I want to know what type of snake that is. I’ve compared it to a page listing all the snakes indigenous to Texas and all I’ve found is that Texas has a lot of snakes and the video is way to grainy for me to say.

Brady Aiken has a lot of time to think about this since he hasn’t even pitched for a minor league affiliate this year, apparently out in Arizona rehabbing some undisclosed injury.

Is funny that a few weeks ago people were lamenting that Casey was up against Stevens for coach of the year. People were gushing about how he installed a new offense, made his team a legit contender, etc.

The problem is that they have but one Kike Hernandez. Playing him at SS is fine, but it means you’re playing Matt Kemp and Chase Utley everyday, in 2018.

The defining moment in that game was the end of the 3rd quarter and beginning of the 4th. The Cavs were nursing a slim lead and LeBron had to go to the lockerroom with cramps. As a seasoned Cabs fan, I thought “shit, we will be down 15 before he can return”.

I am a recovering Browns fan. I specifically request not to get Browns stuff for my birthday. I had an entire box of Browns stuff I refused to put up or wear, that I threw out.
