I grew up in Western Mass. We referred to it as the 51st state. No one wanted a claim to it. You are closer to the state capitals of NY, CT & RI and the newspaper of record thinks the western border is Worcester.

As a complete jealous Cleveland hater, LeBron was totally screwed down the stretch.

Is Lonzo’s starting to hit shots because defenses are letting him shoot?

Browns should say they are picking Darnold and then make the switch after he declares.

Simmons wasn’t interviewing him was just skewering him from afar and was probably told to lay off after the 1st time and kept going after him, on non-ESPN properties.

No... And IIRC in the Bob Cousey days, an assist led to a layup or a dunk.

Clarkson has the best PER on the team but the average Lakers fan want him out of town ASAP.

Is MCW the worst ROY in NBA history?

You are probably right but Dunn can have a long time career in the league as an elite defender. If Lonzo can’t fix his shot, it may be difficult for him to find a long term role.

Lonzo doesn’t have the athleticism to be an elite player. Compare him to another 1st year bust, Kris Dunn. Dunn has elite athleticism that will allow him to succeed if he continues to hit 40% of his 3s

Except that was Kris Dunn that shot it....

You can criticize Schiano for a number of things but coaching Rutgers to a 68-67 record should include induction in the college football hall of fame.

Defenses can’t control defending the 3-pt line?

Go to the Lakers reddit page.... Their fans are not impressed with Walton.

But Rodman made up for a lot of this with his freak rebounding and defense skills

I’ve never been first to the comment section. What a terrible FIRST! Total scumbag. Nothing left to add here.

Can’t fault Lester. He went from a full-fledged rivalry (Yankees-Red Sox) to a fake one (Cubs-Cardinals)

Thank you, Diana. I’ve been waiting for a column like this for years across all administrations. My biggest issue is that ever since Tim Russert died there has not been one member of the media that knows how to ask a follow-up question when the original answer either sucked or was disingenuous.

It’s always fun to give shit to the Patriots, Boston & their fans. I’m going to say that this was a complete oversight and believe them. I’m a Pats season ticket holder and the Kraft family has treated the fans at Gillette very well over the years. Past games have seen them giving out those disposable ponchos when it…

Did Mr. Passive/Aggressive LeBron retweet Trump or just subtweet with the hope of Trump seeing it?
