Mr. Thrower took out my favorite name of the competition: Alpha Omega Nickelberry IV, so this victory is well-deserved.

Yeah, that was a sweet dunk on Dray, but he got over it quickly with the series-clinching dagger, a final block on Lillard, and a triple double to boot.

When Tiger Woods won last month at Augusta, all the talking heads were saying it was the “greatest comeback in the history of sports”. The first I thought of was Niki. It will be a very long time if ever before we see someone go from last rights to the grid in six weeks to World Champion in a year.  Heroic stuff.

The difference is that she is getting paid to be inconvenienced while everyone else paid for the pleasure.

If you don’t want to deal with annoyed customers, don’t take a job where your primary duty is dealing with customers in an industry where they are often annoyed.

I hate replay as much as anybody, but this seems a really odd place to make that case since if this had been any other race the horse would have been DQ'd, the jockey would have been suspended, nobody ever would have appealed, and the Stewards would have only looked at the film as a formality.

Take a look at the season series between the Warriors and Nuggets. Jokic is pretty great, but the Warriors (twice with Boogie, but once without) made him look like a tree out there. 

I think the Warriors will have an easier time exploiting Jokic’s defense than the Nuggets will have exploiting Jokic’s post game against Draymond. And Klay Thompson is a vastly better perimeter defender than Gary Harris.

It may not have the beauty and purity of Magic/Bird, but I still love it.

Chicken pot pies are not bullshit. Sure, if you spent $5 on a Marie Callender one that takes an hour to bake, la de dah mister moneybags, but the real trick here is to get the Banquet chicken pot pies, you know, the ones in the red box that are five for five bucks if not cheaper.

That should count for two. He was clearly inside the three point line.

Wait...am I doing this right?

Don’t forget, Deadspin’s greatest two way threat.

Some Millennials have Borat.   Quoting Borat got old real quick....NOT

A Magary is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he gets out of intensive care.

I know it won’t have any affect on Jake Jortles. That’s a completely different guy.
