Serge Ibaka got a ring before Harden and Westbrook.

I don’t know about that. Yea, maybe the call was too severe. But I just can’t get past the fact that the Knights were the ones who gave up 4 power play goals not to mention blowing a 3-1 series lead. It never should have gotten to a game 7. I’ve seen tons of teams kill off a 5 minute major. I’ve seen tons of teams try…

Yes. Also even if you shorthanded for 5 minutes you are still allowed to stop the other team from scoring 4 goals.

The Americans. Devastating.

That was a grotesque foul call on Edwards’s missed potential game-winner. Not sure how you call phantom contact on the shooter’s thrust-out leg in that situation when UT came back and actually won the game.

Really not doing a whole lot to make us forget about the rape allegations, Cristiano.

This is bonkers but I enjoy it.

Boston wildly overachieved last year given the ages of the respective guys who were playing for them down the stretch. It caused people—myself well included—to come into this season with expectations that were a bit above what’s happening.

I also think the team is a classic “too many good guys, not enough great ones”…

Having two of the best teams in the league, both of which are stocked with young stars, play on a field that could very easily lead to any number of those young stars being seriously injured seems like a self-evidently bad idea.

BALK. Runner advances.

That Celtics offense is in a bad place right now. I was at the game last night—basically anything that wasn’t Kyrie off the dribble made Nuggets fans very happy. Jaylen Brown is kinda just...there a lot of the time in half-court sets, Hayward looks like a shell of himself right now, and that vaunted Celtics Bench…

This is the worst of all takes. She’s really not. Someone with such a small fraction of indigenous heritage whose connection to it is a single story about a single ancestor who no one can actually say even is Cherokee (remember, the US government at that time kept extremely good records about the indigenous people…

Yes. He is making a sexual assault joke about a DNA kit. For... some reason.

What’s the endgame here? To somehow woo Butler back while simultaneously alienating the team’s actual young core even further?

These guys may be the only team defeated by the Magic all year. 

Jimmy Butler wants to be traded to a team that can afford a free agent like KAT. Jimmy Butler plays with KAT. Jimmy Butler is an idiot.

Bye, son.

Steve Ballmer looks like a marching band dad who helps teardown the set for his 17-year old son’s high school rendition of whatever song was big three years ago. Probably “Uptown Funk.”

I was there last night — and have gone at least one day/night to each US Open for well over a decade — and I can say I have never experienced humidity like that at the Open before. It was claustrophobic, inescapable. Never really got better as the night went on. The group I was with all felt so physically unwell we…
