“I think you overpaid.”

--The Brooklyn Nets

Just like the way the Pelicans ripped the future away from the Knicks.

Ray, thank you for pulling out the Chicago Zephyrs reference. I fully support your dream of a Nets-Clippers Finals and only wish that one of the games is played in the throwback uniforms of the New Jersey Americans and the Buffalo Braves.

Celtics sign point guard who acknowledges Earth is shaped like a basketball.

One of my earliest and favorite pro basketball memories is of the ‘76 Celtics-Suns triple OT game. This game is up there with it. Don’t ask me to explain how I think they are similar, but they are. Maybe it’s the huge number of times the events of the games force “you’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding me!” out of your mouth.

“I can’t justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to...exercise their constitutionally protected right.”

Were this a mid-70s World Series, we’d be at that place where the title is decided by someone with a diminutive name: Bucky or Bernie, Davey or Denny. Given the current rosters could this Finals’ Mystery Meat MVP turn out to be... Boogie?

The kid who watched Captain America: The First Avenger wins the trophy, then.

Each kid gets their own trophy and each gets a check for the full, first place prize of $50,000.

Lauren, I applaud your excellent trolling skills. Thank you for distracting the troglodytes who are sill whinging about a four-year old not having the attention span and motor reflexes to stop a foul ball from hitting her.

As to last night’s amazing spelling bee performance by all eight of the champions, it was…

Is it possible Jizyah Shorts blew their wad too early?

With Grumpy Cat dead, Unca Joe should drop out and become the new meme sensation.

Is Stephen A. Smith the Steve Harvey of sports?

Always back the underdog.

What’s also fun to notice is that there is one fan (in the video shot facing the backboard square on) who clearly reacted first, just a split second before everyone else. He (I think) is out of his seat, arms up, and then the whole crowd joins in.

I’d love to get an interview with him, too.

And even though the style in which it is shot is so different in technique, it clearly presages the equally delightful Luis recaps in the Ant-Man movies.

To my mind In & Out is a movie similar to Garry Marshall’s comedic adaptation of Anne Rice’s “Exit To Eden”: both are made primarily for the consumption of people who are outside their respective communities. Neither is meant to be a manual for how to handle coming out if you are queer or kinky. But they each help…

I’m sure Ainge will be able to restock by sending your beloved Wizards Guerschon Yabusele and several 2nd round picks for Bradley Beal.

That did not occur in-game. That HAS to be a cut scene.

You could’ve stopped the sentence at “fool.”
