I know it’s the Raptors, but c’mon, this is a little premature. Their five losses in the past eight have been to Cleveland twice on the road (with one on the second game of a back-to-back), Boston on the road, OKC and the desperate Clippers. They aren’t getting blown out or losing to bad teams, they are just playing

I wish that I could go back in time and show my 10 year old self this article, so that I could have honed my general lack of athleticism like Slo-Mo and made it big.

That would be the hard part to gauge in these cases, but in this case I think it’s obvious that he didn’t see it. The real time highlight doesn’t show the puck anywhere in front of Luongo’s pads, and there’s no way that Arvidsson would somehow have a better view looking down on Luongo from a foot away.

I feel like calls like this need to come down to whether or not the puck is visible. if Arvidsson can see the puck, it is clearly not in the goalie’s control and he’s good to whack at it. However, it’s pretty clear that the puck is under the goalie, and so that whack is only done to try and get the puck free, hence

Getting what you’re worth is completely fair, and if he was getting low-balled at like 3 million a year, I’m all for him negotiating and not getting screwed. But nobody was looking at his 70 million dollar deal and thinking that he was getting underpaid, so that’s where I think the vanity comes in. At a certain point

The man is seven feet tall and got up two inches above the rim for the first time in a very long time. His toes almost dragged on that jump, get outta here!

There is not a bigger athletic discrepancy on a team in sports than between DSJ and Dirk. Dennis can boop and bop his way to an unassisted steal/alley-oop and Dirk will spend his next two seasons doing one-legged faders until he can’t stand up tall enough to call it a fade.

I can definitely blame him. At the time of peak player earnings, this guy, who is in no way a star, was offered 18 million a year to play basketball and would’ve been set for life, but instead held out for the most money he could possibly get just because others were getting more. That just screams vanity, and I’m not

I realize that hindsight is 20/20, but damn, his greed has really boned him. I understand believing in yourself, but at a certain point you gotta look at your 9 point, 7 rebound career statline and say “70 mill is a steal for me”.

I swear to God, if you bring up Coach Carter in this comment section, I will end you.

You goddamn animal. TAKE. IT. BACK.

I can’t tell if I’m more upset at his audicity to try and dance being that tall and goofy, or the fact that he’s still a better dancer than me.

I don’t know if it’s possible to give less of a shit about MLB and NHL, but I sure will try

Who is your employer? I have complaints to file.

It’s telling when even the people who actually play the sport get pissy about people trying to make the game take longer than it already does.

In comparison, Ronaldo doesn’t even need to be told to walk, he just does it anyways. Advantage: Ronaldo.

From now on, anyone who complains about unwritten rules in baseball needs to be beaned in their next at-bat, problem solved.

Funny how people are allowed to hate an organizational decision to suck on purpose, but can also love watching the players acquired as a result of that sucking through no fault of their own

Snyder is only 53 and has robot-body money, don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

Did....did nobody tell her?
