ESPN will probably ask the NBA to postpone all playoff games on Friday so that they can cover it the entire day.

Beginning of news week? Check

Cue half a dozen Kinja articles explaining how the cops are to blame.

You people do realize that one of the kids on those lame-ass Disney Channel or Nick sitcoms is being groomed to play him when they reboot this in 20 years, right?

There have been TWO Deadspin posts in 12 hours lamenting how Westbrook is the greatest thing in the NBA and they can’t talk about him any more (even though they obviously are).

That America wanted to see OKC in the playoffs and the Pelicans spoiled everybody’s fun.

The media butthurt over this guy not making the playoffs is laughable. Keep forcing that narrative, guys.

It would be nice to see the media not be so butthurt about this team keeping their flavor of the month Russell Westbrook out of the playoffs and give A.D. some love and this team the attention they deserve.

I love how the ENTIRE national sports media is pissed off at big, bad, evil New Orleans because they’re being such dicks and keeping them from talking about Russell Westbrook for 2 more weeks. Never forget, media, it’s always about you and the narratives that you prefer.

If Jeter made that play, ESPN would have broken into regularly scheduled programming to cover it.

I always wondered what Bob Horner was up to after he retired.

If the Yankees were 7-0, ESPN would be asking if they are better than the 1927 Yankees. And deep down you know I’m right.

Somewhere out there.....

The Pelicans will lose to San Antonio. This guarantees a rigged Thunder win in Portland. If they both beat Minnesota, then the Thunder get in and New Orleans just got fucked.

And now the Pelicans are going to miss the playoffs because the Thunder will sweep their last two games and New Orleans will lose to the Spurs on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals STILL can’t lose, and all ESPN wants to talk about is where somebody might be drafted and when Johnny Douchebag is getting out of rehab.

I think you mean pubic school system

I’m surprised this news actually leaked out.

When somebody like Bo Ryan calls a timeout at 7:58, IT SHOULD COUNT AS THE TV TIMEOUT TOO. It is FRICKING IGNORANT to have that count as an individual timeout, and then 5 seconds later at the next dead ball, we have ANOTHER 4 minute break because it’s the “under 8 TV timeout.”
