Umpires get so hung up on enforcing the least important rules. It’s a good thing umpires don’t get to carry guns like police officers or we’d be in the thick of a “Ball Players Lives Matter” movement.

I guess you can’t tell unless he’s using a “faulty” microphone.

Someone has to have put together a highlight film of all the slipping he did on the court during the first two games wearing the BBB shoes, right?

They will sign him to the “maximum raise” which is, I believe 20%, above what he made last season on their roster. It comes out to approximately $32 million, meaning he’s leaving $3 million on the table for next year. Then, he’ll have to do that one more season before the Warriors will have his Bird Rights and be able…

I would lean toward believing Paul Pierce was the sticking point. Trading him during his retirement tour would have been a heel move on Doc’s part.

I guess you skipped the Rockets/Thunder first round series?

Considering that the Russians got Trump elected as retaliation for getting them banned from the Olympics, can’t we just let them dope as much as they want?

Whoa, whoa whoa! Does basketball have unwritten rules now?

Ainge was a baseball prospect and has a great arm. This makes me like him more.

I’d actually become a fan of Draymond.

Whatever led to the botched playcalling hardly changes the fact that the 49ers were within a touchdown and in the redzone in the final minutes.

You had me up until Matt Moore.

I’m sure John Fox is nervous.

And when the Joe Mixon/Pacman Jones mentorship relationship goes as expected, Stoops won’t have regular press conferences where he has to take questions about it.

Where was the fun last night?

Getting beat by 50 is bad, but that situation was not set up for good basketball. The team benches and fans were on the court. They were playing on a side court. I’m sure LaVar is to blame.

I understand this is a venue where news like this is brushed off with humor, but the concussion situation in football is scary. Most will pass off the revelation that the league’s best player is actively hiding brain damage. He keeps playing, and playing at an extremely high level, so who cares? Right? Those pansy-ass…

I don’t know. Freeman threw the ball, then ran out to no-man’s land. Philips may have taken too long to get to 1st base, but Freeman should have seen there was no one there when he ran abandoned his bag.

My thoughts, too. I could see him being Walter White, also.
