Has had small victories against LeBron’s hairline
Boris is the best guy in the NBA. Not the best at playing basketball, just all around best guy.
There’s only been one player labeled a “LeBron Stopper” who has ever been remotely successful at stopping Bron in the playoffs and it’s this beautiful man right here...
Albert, most sports are a form of controlled violence.
Based off your assessment of Olynyk, you don’t watch basketball
Lots of good lines, but I am shocked no one pointed out these Eagles season ticket holders in the clip.
Kyrie is 2A (at his best, 1B) on the Cavs, though. Lowry is the Raptors most important and likely best player. The Raptors don’t have a true superstar to lead them, was where I was going. Obviously LeBron still turns any team into a contender. No argument there.
A healthy Bucks team (both Parker and Middleton) is the only threat to Cleveland. It begins and ends with LeBron and Milwaukee is the only team with multiple people to throw at him.
Baiting Westbrook into a me-against-world fourth quarter has led to quite a few series victories over the years.
I don’t know who to fault, but I do consider that the Thunder would’ve been better off spending more of the regular season figuring out whether these other guys could do things, given the opportunity and the reps. Does anyone really think they spent this season making a priority of figuring out the best use of Steven…
Not only a limit to marginal benefit, but a rapidly increasing negative return from going to one player. Especially when viewing the 4th quarter, the play style made it impossible to win games that they should have easily won. I wasn’t very impressed with Houston this series. They gave the Thunder every chance to…
I don’t see how this showed us something we don’t know about basketball. If anything, by playing this style to it’s Platonic ideal, and still only getting this far, he’s proven what most people already believed: that there is a limit to the marginal benefit you can get from continually going to one player.
Regression to the mean.
It would be a total misread, though, to see Westbrook’s fourth-quarter bricklaying as the result of some egotistical spasming. Westbrook was only doing what he’d been doing all throughout the regular season, in which he became the best clutch player in the league and singlehandedly won almost too many games to…
I think the Rockets have a better team than OKC but I think people overrate Harden’s supporting cast in order to argue how hard Westbrook has it. Harden isn’t playing with a Big Two, much less a Big Three. Eric Gordon, Patrick Beverly, Ryan Anderson, Trevor Ariza, Nene...I mean these aren’t players that anyone would…
In the last 24 hours, the Celtics went down 0-2 to a laughable Bulls team, Aaron Hernandez committed suicide, and Gronk yukked it up with a propaganda minister nobody respects.
Uhh, no. Maybe 10% of the time. 90%? No. Or do you believe that Sandy Hook was a false flag, 9/11 was an inside job, Comet Pizza is the center of an international pedophilia ring led by John Podesta and Hillary Clinton, and that aliens have landed?
What an asshole.
i spent a decade of my life working on the backstretch of a racetrack and have seen every awful injury a horse can suffer (and Barbaro’s were epically bad). I think you may be onto something but perhaps not for the reason you think.
