I agree, from a distance he’s always seemed like a dick. In his commercials he looks like he’s trying really hard to not come across as a dick. Now, some of the nicest people I know have seemed like dicks initially, so I could be completely wrong. But punching your buddy-slash-much-lower-level-coworker in the face?…

The announcement is going to be that Han isn’t dead.

You forgot Poland!

Channing Stribling (#8) is going to get a tattoo of himself punching Robinson in the nuts.

Is there any question that Blake Griffin is kind of a dick? Many other NBA players who are tough guys on the court manage to come across as friendly and appealing in commercials and interviews. Griffin seems incapable of it. Even in his commercials where he’s supposed to be friendly and goofy he looks like he’s hating…

Wow, did the ball actually injure his ankle? It looked like the ball snapped it one way then he planted on it that way for good measure.

Grayson traveled because his foot landed on the floor before the shot was out of his hand. He didn’t travel because of the “three steps” because it was actually him finishing his dribble then taking two steps. The exact same thing that Indiana’s OG Anunoby is doing in his eurostep here. (Full disclosure: I hate Duke…

It’s arguable but they’ll pretty much never call that. What you’re seeing as his first step is in the NBA considered the time where he’s “gathering” the ball, the thing that makes half of Dwyane Wade’s eurosteps look like travels. As that left foot (in the photo) came off the floor he still had one hand on the top of…

If Steph’s mom ain’t in it, I ain’t watching it.

There’s no difference in the rulebook between a travel and an “up and down” violation. That’s a travel.

One-on-one is a great idea. It’s basically the whole reason MMA was born. Who wins, a boxer or a ninja? Who wins, John Wall or DeAndre Jordan?

Stanfurd Band to America: “The joke is that there are a lot of farms, and we’re The Farm, so we have things in common, except we don’t, and we’re pretending that we don’t get that it’s a joke, but we do, and that’s the joke! Totally ironic and clever, right?”

The Stanfurd Band is just Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo gripping a tuba — annoying and unlikeable and, incomprehensibly, pretty sure people actually like them. Chelgren is being ridiculous but I don’t care because he’s calling out those idiots. I do love how he calls for a boycott of all cooperation except sporting…

Haha.. Exactly. Internet detectives, mobilize!!!! We’ve got WORK to do!

Over on Glenn Beck’s site The Blaze they’re predictably using this event to spout racist junk like that college hoops players are all thugs and how if it had been a white player tripping the ref there would have been black people rioting in the streets, etc.

“#BlackLivesMatter” means “#AllLivesMatterIncludingBlackLives”. How can anyone not understand this?

Barnes has been a thug forever. I remember when he was in college playing at Berkeley and he cold-cocked a 5'7" Cal player, a full-on elbow to the head while the player was looking the other direction. He was immediately ejected, and his dad stood and applauded him as he headed down the tunnel toward the locker room.…

Presumably it’s because there were 4/10 of a second left on the clock. If time expired while the ball was in the air they could have changed the result of the game and *know* what the outcome would have been. If WSU had .4 left, though, they could conceivably have won the game on a tip-in, so it wouldn’t have been…

“At no point do Han and Leia feel like people who once loved each other, had a child together, and have not seen each other in years.”
