This is the first game in these conference finals (both conferences) that was decided by less than nine points and included ANY lead changes in the fourth quarter.

I assume this will get its own dedicated Dead Letters.

After Dave left Chappelle’s show and started doing interviews again, he essentially admitted he felt like people lost the perspective and were just laughing at black people living up to stereotypes. I think the PFTCommentor schtick is sort of the same thing, except it’s a bunch of angry white dudes using him as a…

In total agreement. I have to think that every moderately athletic boy/man over 6'3" has likely attempted dunking and been at least partially successful. I understand that the question and the authors response are supposed to be a mild dig on Brady for humor. Despite always getting ripped on his speed/athleticism you…

Deadspin shits on Clay Travis every chance they get.

Are you ... purposely being dense?

His boss harasses Laura, he says “no comment” and you think she’s being petty?

I’ve loved his schtick since the KSK days, but Laura’s correct with that Colbert/Fox analogy. We have to draw the line somewhere, and it’s probably long past time we stopped trying to separate him from Barstool.

It’s as if Stephen Colbert, to use an existing comparison, had taken his “Stephen Colbert” character to Fox News and enjoyed glowing press for doing satire at the network.

I wasn’t saying he couldn’t dunk. I happen to think he probably can (although he does look awkward as fuck when he runs). I was just saying if his arms add 3 FEET to his height, he’d be looking like fucking gumby out there.

Laura, good article, you bring up really solid points and I 100% agree with you.

Yeah I was gonna say looks like we found Giannis’s burner account

Well one’s about the social contract and the other is about high school graduates who play a game.

Right? I mean as far as takes go, “This expansion team will be bad” is freezing cold, yet you’d think that these fans were referencing some storied history.

Man, Vegas has some smug fans for a brand new franchise.

OTOH, most were well-contested by some of the best defenders in the NBA (Green, Iguodala, Klay). The Rockets missed a handful they 100% should’ve made; the rest were far from gimmes.

Mathematically, Game 4 will not decide the series.

They went 1-2 in the first series against Atlanta. One of those losses was by a score of 15-2.

It’s weird that the whole season everyone’s been saying “The Rockets were built to destroy the Warriors,” and then they finally get their western conference matchup, and their big plan is... tire out Stephen Curry
