That fourth set was hard to watch as he melted down. I’m not sure how much I buy into momentum in competition, but to the degree it does exist, it exists pretty strongly in tennis - likely a function of it being one-on-one vs. a team effort.

Damn, that article he wrote really is good! Thanks for the link, I missed that when it came out.

C’mon man, show Isaiah Thomas some respect.

Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that Ainge must mortgage their future on anything. I’m talking about one draft pick. One! And not for an old player in a win-now situation, but for a 27-year-old superstar with two years left on his current below-market deal, who stands a very good chance of still being near the…

Sharapova is more brand than person

Rich and famous people thinking that a shallow, unrevealing look at a small and carefully curated subsection of their lives is interesting is nothing new,

She also wasn’t suspended for roids or Epo. She was suspended for a drug that used to be pefectly legal just a few week prior to her drug test and is still legal in Russia. It was her fault and she paid for it.

With no shoes. That’s the nicest thing I’ll every say about Dolt 45*

Meh, he can’t land a backhand but he hits a reasonable forehand. That said, those pics belong in the FUPA Hall of Fame.

Emma should have watched the play again. Hedges is well in front of the plate, never covered it at any time during the play. Rizzo is also well inside the foul line in fair territory, which is the OPPOSITE of where you want to be to score. You want to catch the back side of the plate to avoid the tag. He ran him on…

It looks like Hedges did indeed give Rizzo a path to the plate. Catchers are sitting ducks...looking at the baseball while a lumberjack barrels full speed towards you.

I dunno, I think this case is an outlier. Whomever organized this fight should be subject to criminal prosecution, or at very least wrongful death liability. This is outrageous, and clearly a situation where an amateur was put in the ring with a professional. Look at the difference in physicality and conditioning…

I’m obviously not a boxing “expert” but watching the video of the actual match and ..........uhhhhh.............at any point in the match can a referee say “Wait, this guy can’t fight THIS other guy. This match is done”

We all have it coming, kid.

God forbid they actually try to run some semblance of a real offense-- asking Lebron to bulldoze his way into the lane for layups or kick-outs works for about 2.5-3 quarters-- if they had more off-the-ball movement to their offense he could get a few breaks on offense. Instead it’s Lebron iso, Irvinig Iso, drive, kick…

 Those kickouts repeatedly created great shots tho. Unfortunately they missed most of them, but they were good looks. I’d rather that again.

Don’t get me wrong, I was one of the people who believed he only had a roster spot due to nepotism but he’s kinda been proving people wrong. He’s improved a ton over the past two seasons and was a legitimately good scorer this year.

In no particular order: Draymond is a dirty player (the dick-and-ball kicking is pretty infuriating for a non-GS fan); Curry, for all of his magnificent (and revolutionary) abilities, has a very annoying brand of arrogance (I want to blow up my tv now whenever that Muscle Milk commercial with the people shimmying…

It’s all in the little things. The Silicon bandwagon vibes, the “crybaby loser lebron” guy, the constant smuggery the organization exudes from Lacob down, the affinity of violence towards other men’s balls, the constant on-court pouting, the coincidence that the other team’s best players always seem to be hurt and…
