I read Bill Simmons because he is actually entertaining. I read articles on Deadspin because the commenters are hilarious.

I would have liked to see a full Mavs squad go against a full Rockets squad. It would have probably made for an entertaining series. What we’re seeing now, though, is just how much of a poser that Rockets team is. The Rondo debacle was embarrassing, but that was one guy in a Mavs uniform for a few months that they…

Well, he isn’t a cowardly lion. He had liquid courage in him all along.

Been saying it all year that the Rockets are vastly overrated. #2 seed? Great. I’ll give them that. Going in to the playoffs, though, you wanted to play the Pelicans, Mavs, Blazers, then Rockets, in that order, and the Wesley Matthews injury was the only reason you would prefer to see the Blazers instead of the…

You do know the difference between a media credential for an event in the private sector and a constitutional right, don’t you? Nah...of course you don’t.

If you will direct your attention upward and observe the area just above your head, you may notice a joke passing by.

Too severe a penalty, in my mind. The defense should get in position to get the rebound, but if it never makes it off the rim, they never get the chance to collect. The rules for the ball in the cylinder would have to be the same for both offense and defense to garner any real support (from me, included).

His shot was supposed to be the one thing that would never fail him, but he was consistently inconsistent this season on shots that used to be routine. It is tough to watch. I think maybe he (and we as fans) were trying to squeeze too much out of him. Hopefully he finds a load he is comfortable with carrying next…

If you eliminate the rule (and I’m fine with doing that, too), then San Antonio maybe plays that ball a little different, too. It would open up the defense to being able to swat away a ball sitting on the rim like that. I could live with going to the international rules, but I think I like the current rule better. I’d…

So now Olynyk is an accomplished MMA fighter? This is getting good.

Watch as the ball goes up. Love held Olynyk’s arm. Holding a guy’s arm happens all of the time and there is no elevated expectation of injury. When Olynyk turned to go toward the ball, if his arm popped out of socket, would it have been a dirty play on Love’s part?

I don’t know, maybe detonating a couple of homemade pressure cooker bombs in a crowd of innocent people? I’m just spit-balling, here.

Murder? As in “the unlawful killing of a person”? I don’t see a death sentence being unlawful, here.

This must be a “thing”. I was at the Mavs’ regular season finale and we were treated to a halftime show featuring none other than Naughty by Nature.

Your link is broken.

Baseball can be a real bastard sometimes.

The only thing more certain than Greg Howard writing an article after a black person is shot by the police is that Greg Howard won't write an article after a <any other race> person is shot by the police.

Abuse of power by the police is everyone's problem, Greg.

It is underrated how good of an interview this guy is. Humble, respectful, but most of all, really funny.

Should be? It already is!!!
