Obviously this is just one game, but it does put in focus a frustration I’ve had with every Cavs playoffs convo: people always focus on “who does Team X have to cover LeBron” while ignoring the OTHER pressing question “who does Cleveland have to cover ANYONE”.

Hot take: LeBron won’t win three more games as a Cavalier.

Are you fucking serious? Please refer to the internet for an endless stream of knob polishing articles about the sixers.

Well, it’s a conspiracy. Deadspin is a hive mind that hates your team, hometown, and political party, as well as you personally, and only ever writes stories about things you hate. Duh.

with so much on the line, you would think wired controllers to be a must.

As a former girl little leaguer, I can confirm that aggressively hazing girls off your team works. I could throw a hardball faster and farther than anyone on my otherwise all-boys team at age 9—all I wanted was to pitch overhand—but the boys assigned to catch with me during practice would purposely throw everywhere…

Kudos to Troy Brisard and Kirk O’Quinn - the two coaches who came forward and let Klein know about the other coaches’ disgusting comments/plan.

Dick throws ball into dick and balls.

The NFL loves this shit. We’re talking about NFL drama in April. This is a benefit of the cap. The NFL’s goal is to have deadspin and other sports sites posting NFL stories every day of the year, and they’re doing a great job.

For the rest of time, whenever anyone beats this baby, in any game, they should immediately envelop their controller in a bear-like hug while hunching over, until said baby leaves the area.

Well gaming isn’t a sport for one

Now I want to see shit like this in other sports.

Given that offensive rebounds are generally tougher to get — the Spurs, for instance, don’t really try because the numbers dictate it’s better for them to send more guys back on D — it’s not as simple as having a big under the rim when Russ jacks up shots. Adams gets offensive rebounds because he’s really good at it.…

More like UFC drama. With the WWE being scripted, you know you are watching a performance. With the UFC, and this, you are watching a bunch of grown ass adults act like petulant children with boundary issues.

Are there any video game “pros” who aren’t childish, racist, sexist, homophobic shitstains?

You know, his first year, I didn’t get that sense. Like, he was the guy who figured out that to play the record-setting Warriors better you had to fight over screens all the time. That’s how they got to 3-1 that series. And then the LeBrons used that model.

Compete should crosspost this to the Offspring vertical because what a fucking baby.

I think the argument is that Oscar wasn’t grabbing rebounds solely to rack up triple-doubles, since the stat wasn’t officially recognized until the early 80s.

In a league of incredibly competitive athletic people, he takes both of those things to another level. I’m not saying people have to love the guy, but if you’re a fan of basketball, isn’t that just fun to watch on it’s own? I worked with a guy that would dog on Russ nitpick his game for what it wasn’t That’s like…

People complaining about Russ getting rebounds must think that Oscar was nabbing 10 long rebounds a game. Stop nitpicking and just enjoy the spectacle of one of the most athletic guards in history unapologetically giving it his all every single night.
