C’mon, this is way better and more fun than tanking. They’re playing meaningful basketball in the spring! You get to root for them in at least one playoff series! This is great.

The GIF party didn’t even mention Jarrett Allen, who is fearless and great around the hoop, will try and block anything, and has a tremendous afro/ninja headband thing that can only be pulled off if you’re incredibly good and cool.

He could be washed. The trendlines in his career have mostly been downward since the 73-win season, and he never seemed all that likely to age gracefully, given his sketchy shooting and tweener size.

Is Draymond just having a bad year or is he washed now? My vote is washed. 

I write a semi-regular fanpost series on the SBNation boxing blog, BadLeftHook, tracking bad boxing judges. I don’t expect to be compensated, because it’s a fanpost; there’s no advertising, and it’s not on the main blogroll. It’s just something to engage with the community there, and to work out my frustration at all…

Interesting to note the differences between major sports in this country. In the NBA, a wider Barkley lead to diminishing returns.

This seems shady.

From the world’s most recognizable skyline to the world’s most shareable skyline: the Matt Harvey Story.

Plyaoff Dwyane Wade!

“the greatest basketball player ever not to play college hoops...”

*waits for Kobe fans to get triggered*

Phil’s commitment to the triangle is unrelenting.

I see how it is—when LeBron yells defensive coverages to his colleagues, he’s the best player of his era but when I yell offensive coverages to my co-workers I have to go to HR and explain that I was just quoting New York Times columnist, Quinn Norton.

It’s on me to make sure the new guys that come in. I make sure they fit in and make it as seamless as possible. That’s my job

I thought you went for Cousins so you wouldn’t have to pay...

I need to understand why the Dark Chocolate gotta be naughty?

They’re fun to watch! They run around like crazy, share the ball, bomb away from outside, and generally comport themselves like they want to knock the dicks off the better teams they’re facing. He’s doing a hell of a job.

Kinda OT, but Kenny Atkinson has done one of the more unfathomably good coaching jobs in the league so far. I mean, you look at this Nets roster and wonder how exactly they’ve won more than say 2 or 3 games at this point.

Ate the W. Proves he elite anything
