I mean, you could just acknowledge that there’s a problem with police brutality directed towards people of color. That seems like the easiest solution.

The Bucks have been seriously disrespected by the national media.  Replacing Ersan’s minutes with Mirotic’s makes Milwaukee the favorite to lose to the Warriors in 6 games.

I kind of love the idea of the Warriors just capping off this current iteration with the most dominant team ever, before all the pieces scatter to the wind. With their all-NBA players separated, people will again remember their incredible individual talent, while realizing how truly insane it was to see them all play…

Can we add to the dumbness of these takes about two slots and Zion. If they kept KP they could have had KP + 1 max + the same damn pick. Like 2 max plus a good pick is great, but you already had a max player, a max slot and a good pick! You get max slots so you can sign players like Porzingis!

(I’ve literally never gone by “Alberto.” My name is Albert.)

How is it that the Lakers deserve such pettiness? Players have been recruiting each other for years behind closed doors. The only difference is LeBron is doing it which brings attention to it. The media broadcasts everything it knows with all things concerning LeBron and they pose questions about what he is doing that…

And this is why the NBA is by far the best and most interesting league on the planet. You now have a franchise openly admitting to sabotaging a rival franchise because they’re using it as a defacto farm system. Funny thing is even though the Lakers are the scorn of the Pelicans, the other LA team may end up with the…

What top flight free agent was going to sign in New Orleans before this? It’s all happening because their own pending top flight free agent who they drafted first overall made it clear that he wouldn’t stay.

I would think this is the logical next act in The Process. Gut the team of all long contracts, tank and harvest a boatload of draft picks, try to hit on a young core at reasonable prices, then add the missing pieces by trading some of the accrued picks/marginal assets and hope to entice a major free agent with any…

The funny thing about the NFL is that it’s complacency breeds these one-hit-wunderkinds. When you have a league full of coaches all trying to do the same thing, just NOT doing that can oftentimes be successful in the short run.

I, for one, am glad that the smartest white boys with family connections are finally getting their shot. It used to be the dumbest ones.

“For the 76ers ... they’re shooting their shot!”

more than enough assets to potentially make a serious trade offer for Anthony Davis

The Jags have decent talent on both sides of the ball.  What they lack is someone even remotely resembling an NFL Quarterback.  Too bad there are no decent QB’s out there who have demonstrated they can take a defensively-minded team to the SuperBowl.  #TakesAKnee

Football is an intricately complex game at the personnel level as well as the in game tactical level. I really believe that.

You’re right about Destiny, but also that exposes the core dichotomy that is tearing all of these games apart: in essence Bungie designers keep making Destiny like it’s singleplayer content, with an ongoing plot and secrets and puzzles and discoveries. But the player community simply cannot play Destiny that way -…

As a former TV news producer, I can attest that this is the way local TV management thinks.  Relatedly, no one watches local TV news anymore.

The current stretch has featured wins over bottom-dwellers like Atlanta, Orlando, Sacramento, Orlando again, and the Knicks.

If they are going to have the extra week leading up to the Superbowl, my suggestions:

He’s clearly posturing to take over as the Suns head coach by being so respectful and nice to them. This is obvious tampering and I hope the league looks into it.
