Those holding out for a good series might have to hope for a Paul recovery by Game 7, but that doesn’t quite seem to be how hamstring injuries work, anyway.

My perfect twist to save kickoffs with absolutely no chance of it being dumb would be this: keep the kicker at the normal kickoff position, but make all other kicking players start anywhere between the 40 and the 15 and allow all defending players to start anywhere between the 25 and the endzone. Players can’t move…

This obviously sucks, but I still feel like the Rockets will have a good chance at home in Game 7, even if CP can’t go. Gordon has had an excellent series so far, and Gerald Green has been making a big impact on this series as well, so they will be able to soak up the minutes. Obviously you can’t replace Chris, but if…

I hate to break it to you, but you aren’t getting beef in a quarter pounder.

The only thing more noticeable than one or two people kneeling every game is an entire team staying in their locker room, so as someone who wants the message to get through to people, thanks NFL!

I don’t think Northwestern’s problem was a practice facility, it was the only white QBs thing.

Not to be controversial, but the Pistons made the conference finals the year after Lebron beat them. I’m pretty sure time was what ended the playoff careers of the Chauncey/Rip/Wallace team, not Lebron beating them one time.

Yeesh, calm down, Debbie Downer. Regardless of whether or not they lose in the Finals, this was an accomplishment for the Capitols and it’s been a great season for them. Let them enjoy things!

I’m sorry that you believe that this year’s Celtics team is somehow worse than the IT-less squad that was in the ECF last year. I assure you that this team sans Kyrie and Hayward is still a terrifying team, and they’ve shown it this series.

+1 for correct use of whomst

That is a very PG take on that image. Bless your heart.

Neat.

Right? Harden putting Draymond on a poster last night already makes this a top 5 all-time playoff series for me. If Chris Paul decides to give Draymond an Ibaka-karate-chop to the balls tomorrow night, it jumps to #1 easily.

Since we have given Curry some credit this series for doing his best against Harden or Paul, this needs to be brought up: James Harden played the best defensive half of his career in the second half last night, he looked engaged and locked down Steph and Durant over several stretches. I know we all hate the man, but…

I firmly believe that if prime Federer played prime Serena right now, Roger would win, so I think that he is the greatest player of all time in terms of on-court ability. However, Serena will end up with the greatest career in tennis history, which is equally impressive.

I don’t know why, but I died reading this. Thank you, tiny feline.

I think it’s on both the Cavs and Celtics: the Cavs only try on defense at home with the crowd buzzing plus their role players can’t handle road pressure, and the Celtics become useless on offense on the road. I don’t see the Celtics getting a win in Cleveland, so this series will be decided by whether or not Lebron…

I mean, I don’t think that the rings argument is as simple as you are making it seem. Javale is a career backup/occasional starter and Duncan was an all-time great superstar who carried his team for years, to argue that Javale is better than Duncan just because he helped his team repeat is just willfully ignorant.…

So a team losing their two best players and still getting carried to the Finals by the most underrated star in the league and three young players growing up in front of our very eyes isn’t an exciting storyline? Sounds like you just don’t wanna root for a Boston team, and I get it, but it’s not like the Celtics losing…

Counterpoint: that world already exists as long as Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck continue to be Patriots, so a hypothetical Celtics title doesn’t change anything. On the other hand, if Golden State keeps winning, we have to deal with the average Warrior fan in addition to Boston fans.
