And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!

I’m not saying Thompson doesn’t like to shoot. But we have several seasons worth of evidence that he fits very well, and without any significant complaint, into an offense where he’s often the third or fourth option. We have several seasons of evidence that George bristles the minute he’s not the first option. I’m not…

It’s like Buecheler said: he’s completely comfortable not being The Guy. There’s some extent to which if he were traded to another, worse team, he’d likely be expected to shoulder a Curry/Durant sort of offensive load every night and that’s simply not who Thompson is as a person or a player. He’d probably a great fit…

Thompson’s not only the better shooter and perimeter defender, he’s also a lot less concerned with being The Guy than George seems to be. His personality is a big part of what makes Golden State’s system work. Obviously, they were right not to trade him for Love, and they’re right not to trade him for George either.

giri, your tennis posts are the most delightful thing about deadspin right now. just the best.

Serena....

Nothing makes me happier than watching Fed say fuck you to age and kick ass. His first two sets today were a straight up lesson in grass tennis. And then that tie break! He was down 3-0!

Uhhhh....

Based on my (casual) understanding of the judging process, I don’t consider figure skating a sport

I still make my own. It’s ridiculously easy and far cheaper.

So media site, needing to generate revenue, posts salacious photos to criticize other media for using salacious photos to generate revenue? It worked, I clicked. Take my $0.001.

From what I understand taking the pole is what got us here in the first place.

I’m one Agassi fan who cleanly moved over to Nadal right around 2006, as Agassi retired.

That makes a lot of sense. As I noted above, I was an Agassi fan. Sadly, this may disprove my theory about great hair.

I just prefer the beauty and versatility of Federer’s game, and I play a similar style with a one-handed backhand (similar only in theory, of course.)
