Maybe playing with Westbrook and for the Knicks doesn't inspire the try hard in him?

Kanter looked like he was going to die or start weeping or start weeping while he died. It’s sort of amazing he’s gone from a defense-free punchline to a fucking unkillable gritlord in the span of two months. 

I’ve had long-standing man crushes on Dame and C.J., and I recently added Enes Kanter to the list. I guess I need to make room for Rodney Hood now too. I’m probably going to start writing some really strange slashfic.

ITS* YOU SON OF A BITCH

I debated going to bed with about 7 min left in regulation, but decided it had been such a fun game that I should see it out. By the end of the first OT, I was really glad I had stayed up.

Anyone else notice that when James Harden pushes off defenders he uses his wrist instead of his hand so that it doesn’t look like a push-off?

Yeah nope they could hit Harden over the head with a steel chair and I wouldn’t give a fuck

If officials do a bad job applying a rule that nobody likes towards a player that abuses the hell out of it, should we be upset?

You mentioned uncalled closeout fouls and then show two videos of Harden moving forward into the defender’s space during the shot. How can a defender be jumping into Harden’s space when he himself is closing the gap?

Zero sympathy for a pair of professional flop merchant crybabies who play the basketball equivalent of Let Me Speak To Your Manager and apparently have never heard of the boy who cried wolf. Let them lose in 4.

Watching James Harden not get the foul calls he’s used to is the most reliable joy the NBA playoffs can offer.

Wow! Cool story bro! I’m glad that you brought that up because it turns out the NYT must kind of be on to something with their subtle and blatant antisemitism unrelated to his policy positions!

We’ve come so far in terms of antisemitism, what a set back! Can’t we get back to the halcyon days of last week when the New York Times was mocking Bernie Sander’s accent?

This is reprehensible and Ilhan Omar should apologize immediately.

Where’s the un-redacted version, which we have a right to see?

Don’t hold back, LTC, tell us how (I) REALLY feel!

I don’t even know what that has to do with anything. Obama isn’t running. And I—as a black person who voted for Obama (and Bernie in the last primaries, actually)—would still vote for Warren in the primaries right now over him if he WAS running. I have serious complaints about Obama, but shitting on the past black…

I think Sanders does much better with younger black voters but definitely not with older voters. And Even if they “like” him does it matter if they will vote for somebody else?

Around the same time he marched with MLK, Bernie was also conducting sting operations on behalf of CORE to expose racially-discriminatory housing practices. But I guess that probably doesn’t reveal as much about his values and character as the hand gestures he used when answering these questions.

Bernie Sanders would be a better president for black people than Obama.  At least he isn’t COMPLETELY in the corporate/banking industry/corporate pocket.
