i don’t care what anyone says.

How in the actual fuck does Ross—who fails horrifically in attempting to recreate a Hulk and ends up destroying most of Harlem in doing so—fail upwards to the point that he’s the goddamn Secretary of State by Civil War?? Who signed off on this? He is objectively awful at his job!

One of those truly seminal moments* that justifies all the dumb shit involved in following sports.

That was some horseshit NBA JAM eat-your-money cheating-AI shenanigans of a shot... And it was fucking AWESOME

Is there a better coach in the NBA or any sport at adjusting his system to fit the players he has in a given year than Popovich? I don’t think Belichik is the answer, because that’s more about constantly cycling through players to fit the system.

Huge improvement on the regular season’s Derrick Grey

How in the FUCK does Pop continuously manufacture these previously unknown dudes into what look like all stars.

I am very interested to see what happens with Dejounte Murray’s return next season. With the two of them in the backcourt this team will be scary defensively and super young.

I also have a job and I never try my best.

Ricky Rubio is one of the very best defensive guards in the NBA, and probably should have found his way onto an All-Defense team already. That Harden is just toying with him so ridiculously really just underscores how incredible of an offensive player Harden is. I don’t think it’s crazy to say that he could go down as…

Ricky Rubio knows full well he is going up against one of the all-time great scorers and a league MVP. The fact that he continues to pick himself up and go out there and try his best should be celebrated.

Yeah, none of the reputable basketball analysts are predicting the Sixers to come out of the East. It’s mostly Toronto over the Bucks because Toronto has a better #2-4 and theoretically play a more “versatile” style (even if it’s really just an iso-heavy Kawhi style and a ball-sharing Kawhi-sitting style).  I’m still…

For the life of me, I couldn’t understand why people were falling over themselves to anoint the Sixers or the Raptors or, God forbid, the Celtics. Milwaukee’s season reminds me a lot of the first Golden State championship in that every indicator says they’re a Finals team. They have a transcendent star. They have the…

I’m still shaking my head at his steal/breakaway dunk. He gathered the ball just beyond Detroit’s 3-point circle, took ONE FUCKING DRIBBLE to get him about 1 foot inside the free throw line, and then dunked the ball like he was on a nerf hoop above his door.

Except Griffin is actually still good.

The Bucks won by 35 points, and amazingly, that doesn’t even do justice in showing what an utter beat down this was. Giannis, Middleton, Bledsoe, and Lopez pretty much sat out the entire 4th quarter - after the Bucks had built a 36 point lead after 3 quarters. The lead got as high as 44 at one point. This was a…

Mike, it’d be funny if I said your mom was phoning it in. But I won’t.

I don’t know. Looked like they were phoning it in to me.

This is the correct take. He’s a great option for (what the Lakers are hoping becomes) a multi-superstar team. He’s an ego-manager, not a developer of young talent, which is why the Cavs canned him after LeBron left.

Fun fact: did you know that KD is shooting below league average from three this year? I know he’s still KD but I’m surprised I have never heard this once all season.
