I understand the frustration with VAR causing delays and do think some refs rely too much on it, but in this game, the VAR calls were both right.  I’d rather deflate the emotion a bit in order to get the calls right.

I can’t stand the way Harden plays but I think he’s great in that commercial.

The best thing about these great white hopes that benefit from unwarranted hype is they almost always end up on their backs at the most inopportune times.

The only thing I can imagine worse than Stephen A. interviewing Lavar Ball would be Stephen A. interviewing Lavar and Trump.

What is needed here is the analysis of an actual medical doctor to say “a ruptured Achilles is/is not a medically foreseeable result from a calf injury”.

Trump is an existential threat to American democracy. Not only must he be beaten in 2020, he must be beaten in a way that repudiates everything he stands for. That’s why Democrats need to get their shit together now and back the person most likely to beat Trump (probably Uncle Joe).

Tell me the story about the student-athletes again, daddy.

The Raptors lost this one.  The Warriors still have the same problem: no one but Klay and Steph is showing up offensively.  This does not bode well for their success in the next two games.

The television clearly showed fans waving “bye-bye” at KD as he lay on the ground.  

How do the Raptors have the upper hand?  They gave up a game at home.  Unless Thompson and Looney can’t play, the Warriors are going to be favored in the next two games, which would put them up 3-1.  I don’t think the Raptors will have the upper hand until a Game 7.

Yeah, but that’s been with Van Vleet playing out of his head and Siakem having one of the greatest shooting performances in playoff history. Regression to the mean can be a bitch, and it’s coming for the Raptors (although that would also mean Kawhi is in for a couple of big games coming up).

If Siakem, Van Vleet, and Gasol continue to play at this level, the Raptors will more than deserve the title.  The fact is, however, they won’t, so it will fall once again on Leonard to play hero ball.  That doesn’t look good for Drake.

The Eurostep is the worst thing to hit the NBA ever.

He’s not wrong about man buns.

Given Joerger’s track record in his job as head coach and given Vlade’s track record in his job as GM, I think this is yet another example of the King’s front office shooting the team in the foot.  All that’s needed now is for Vivek to intervene with a demand that Joerger runs this RPO offense he’s been hearing so…

Ryan Madson needs to return that sacred tiki to Hawaii before his whole career blows up.

I’m a partisan, but I’ve got to say the Dodgers lost the Series more than the Sox won it. The Sox basically played the way they played all season except their starting pitching was probably a bit better and Betts and Martinez played a bit worse. The Dodgers, on the other hand, all lost their ability to get on base…

As a Warriors fan, this is delicious.

I’m just shocked the Kings didn’t select Grayson Allen.

As a Warriors fan, I hope to God the Lakers sign Carmelo.
