That’s why I chuckle when people say he couldn’t flourish in the 80's with guys trying to take his head off. He’s a lot stronger than his frame would suggest.
What’s crazy about those flick threes is when I play down in the park, it takes a shit load of energy to put up a normal three from like 8 less feet. It’s insane how effortless Steph just flings it accurately. I would need every ounce of strength to nail some of these shots it feels like.
This is really sad. Please stop.
I love that corner three set up by Bell just casually doing a no look, between the legs pass. That’s some shit you try in grade school, inevitably smashing your own balls, causing you to collapse and nearly swallow your retainer.
For me, the difference between good analysis (Zach Lowe) and bad analysis (Skip Bayless) is both an understanding of variance and also an ability to point to the proper influencing tactics.
“The Warriors switched on these plays and threw off the shooters’ rhythm based on xyz strategy” doesn’t explain it all, but it…
Yeah, 10,000 to 1 seems ... rather low.
But, like, Tom clearly gets the randomness of this. Something tells me the Skip Baylesses and your local Mitch Alboms don’t.
Seems like as good a time as any for this classic
The Rockets lost the minute Ted Cruz tweeted a picture of his blobfish mug from courtside.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
GS is vulnerable, but on the flip side, the Cavs (the ones who are not LeBron James that is) have never been weaker, which is why LeBron needed to play so many minutes this season, he could not afford to rest at all because his team is such utter trash without him. I’m not going to bet against LeBron James like ever,…
Oh God. Now I’m not so sorry to see the Rockets lose.
See, I can’t buy that——wouldn’t you agree that the most beneficial thing for the NBA to have happen in terms of revenue and further pushing fan interest is for Lebron to overcome all odds and beat the mighty GS team all by himself? And yet, most likely, we’ll be lucky if that series goes 5 games.
Rockets had 8 more FT attempts than the Warriors. Nice try blaming the refs, though.
Bruh the refs didn’t miss 27 straight 3s. If it came down to calls I’d agree but the Rockets shot terribly.
I’m thinking that more than the Warriors winning, the Rockets lost. If they got just 4 for 27, a seemingly small task for some of the best basketball players in the world, they win the game despite GSW’s shooting in the 2nd half. Don’t see how the Rockets come back from this, tbh. Clearly the…
Full disclosure that basketball is low on my sports tier list—I basically only get invested during the playoffs and as a Knicks fan (yup, I’m sorry too), my only rooting interest is always Lebron James.
