No way. Rubén Amaro Jr. was key in helping in the difficult transition from a Championship team back to a rebuilding stage.

Sam Hinkie #3 for Deadspin HoF. Sam Hinkie #4 is a trash Hinkie.

we’ll update if they respond.

The hotness of the anti-Golden State takes is reaching Skip Bayless levels here.

Note Steph could have chosen to go by Love on his first possession, but saw LeBron lurking as free safety underneath. Surely his anxiety spiked after getting owned by LeBron all series, and he decided to take his chances hoisting a contested 3 over Love instead.

I went back and watched the last 4 almost scoreless minutes again, and while everyone else is just watching the long threes flat-footed, Kevin Love is sprinting in from three point line, positioning himself for a rebound. Good for him.

I can’t believe Phil Jackson was right about them.

YYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I guess you could say that the death line-up’s play on the court in Game 7 was

I was with you until “[w]hich, of course, turns into shitty basketball more times than not,” because no. They went 73-9 and were tied with like 2 minutes left in Game 7 of the NBA finals. Let’s re-calibrate our takes a bit.

I know I’ve posted it before, but....

Also can’t believe how quickly the climate over here changed from Pro-GS to anti-GS.

Only took one night.

It was so enjoyable to see Lebron sending Steph’s cute layup attempts into the third row.

God. Some of Steph’s shots last night were infuriatingly bad. Like you’d watch him take those kind of shots during the season and they’d be fun because they could go in! But watching him last night just heave shot after shot that has NO CHANCE IN THE WORLD like some sweaty white dude at the YMCA just got to me. He was…

It really is remarkable how quickly the Warriors’ style of play went from exciting to downright annoying. I used to think their fact-paced, shoot-from-anywhere style was kickass and refreshing, but eventually I realized that when things aren’t going their way, they play like a crappy college team that only has a…

At least Curry had a good Father’s Day, he got to spend it playing basketball with his daddy.
