then clearly the stewards were not up to the task of keeping the players safe.

I’ve never been more disappointed to not see someone cleated in the skull by multiple people.

This is what happens when you don’t play “Let’s Remember Some Guys.”

I agree. It also makes me consider how much impact a change of climate can have on a player’s body. It could just be that, as far as his health is concerned, Bale peaked very early in his playing career. But I wonder, if he were to return to the climate of England, would his body handle that better, and would this…

I hope he prepares them with the Jokic stare.

I don’t think there is a better passer of the ball over 20 meters than Pogba is.  His passes are spot on.  

We would have also accepted Eurasian Steppe.

As if that wasn’t enough, Cousins decided to truly demonstrate how indoctrinated into Warriors culture he has become and hit back-to-back three’s in the fourth quarter.

I’m glad Cousins seemed good last night. The Warriors basically copping that they signed Cousins to let him rehab for a year and get a ring makes it hard to not root for him in this situation. 

The only solace to take is that the Warriors will crumble after this year. Iguodala and Livingston are old now. Cousins will walk for a better contract. They’ll either lose one of Durant/Thompson or they’ll be paying the largest luxury tax bill ever. Draymond isnt good anymore.

Hi! I am from the ‘older generation’ of fans and there is no correlation between watching Bill Laimbeer get away with assault and Harden get away with carries / traveling / offensive fouls except that both patterns are fucking trash basketball that belong in the trash.

That happens to him in the playoffs regardless. This is going to make it happen sooner. Dude is famous for his step back, not his gas tank. 

As someone in the “he’s ruining basketball” brigade, I don’t think I’m missing the point.

Even that Cavs team was more impressive than the 2015 “And Dellavedova is the second option” Cavs which Lebron somehow dragged to 6 games. 

Isn’t this pace going to Thibodeau him by the time the playoffs arrive?

Calling light contact on shots would be fine if the blatant shoulder barge to make the space for the step-back was ALSO called as a foul.

But the biggest blow to the grandeur of the Cell match was undoubtedly when WWE decided to make Hell in a Cell the centerpiece of an annual, eponymous event.

Wrestlers must now have all blood removed from their body before entering the ring. Upon a successful conclusion to the match, they can get it put back in, proveded they bring their own storage bags, IV tubes and needles, etc.

They didn’t ban blood - after all, Randy Orton was bleeding from his leg just last night, and Vince himself let Kevin Owens bust him open with a headbutt - but they banned blading, the longtime wrestler practice of cutting yourself to draw blood, to heighten the drama of a match.

Intentional bloodletting. If you cut yourself and they catch it on camera, you could get fined 6 figures or something ridiculous like that, like Batista wqs once.
