the idea is that keeping curry on westbrook helps their defensive scheme. usually. ideally it neutralizes the rest of the thunder team and allows the warriors an athletic roamer (whoever is guarding roberson) to basically play 5 on 4 defense. and the other warriors better matchup well with the rest of the thunder. but…

their scheme this series has been more than just being freakishly athletic

yeah, tough to write off their performance when they were driving and dishing at will all game. westbrook can go wherever he wants on the court. on the other end, curry looks a step slow, the thunder are playing great defense and the warriors’ offense wasn’t getting good looks or moving the ball well all night.

as an influencer, i get approached by social media managers all the time but i’ve never offered to put something in my mouth. it does sound like a fun conversation.

most companies ask that influencers put “#ad” or “sponsored content” in their captions now to protect them from FTC liability after a few companies got in trouble for native advertisement campaigns.

great bit.

with all the lawyers you have reading this site, i’m surprised this slipped through:

keep in mind, this is part of a civil case. just because one side has testimony SUGGESTING this may be the case in order to keep an insurer from paying a university hardly makes it true.

longtime effectively wild listener and totally excited about reading this book.

this is sad. deadspin is sad. why are you posting this? will lietch would be sad.

they’re keeping 10%. i think the feature will stick around.

why do people flat out assume this is autobiographical?? i get saying “maybe” but... folks round here are taking it as gospel. that’s strange to me... especially since jay had a hand in this and is making $$$ of it...

only on gawker would people be dissatisfied with game of thrones but generally into the last gazillion seasons of the walking dead.
