I’m on team Raptors/Bucks. I can’t stand this Sixers team. They’re a bunch of assholes and they’re not particularly fun to watch. Plus Kawhi’s been the best or second-best player in the East in these playoffs and I want to see if he can keep it up.

Everyone outside Philadelphia who couldn’t give a shit about the 76ers and their incredibly unlikeable starting 5?

I feel like that sort of ignores the realities of these guys’ life in those cities though. They’re not living in dirty, cramped conditions. They’re not digging their cars out of snow. They’re not concerned about rent costs.

So...what was the ranking?

What I liked best about this Funbag is the “appetizer for an appetizer” question comes after the “It sucks to be called fat” question. America!

Zero sympathy for a pair of professional flop merchant crybabies who play the basketball equivalent of Let Me Speak To Your Manager and apparently have never heard of the boy who cried wolf. Let them lose in 4.

If I looked like that I wouldn’t even own shirts.

I think a part of it is that Durant is a sensitive dude, and I think that’s okay. I respect it. And all the money and fame and success won’t turn someone who’s naturally insecure and introspective into Russell Westbrook. Some of the most successful people in all industries are walking around with imposter syndrome.

Vegas reached out to their fans and apologized for their PK. They also said it would not be playing in the next round.

22 seconds left and 5 fouls a piece, drive on them then. They will either be soft on d or take a foul and are gone for OT or you’re shooting from the stripe for the win. Like I love Dame and that was a ballsy shot, glad he made it. But jeez.

I swear I could actually hear Lillard thinking “Fuck it. I’m going deep” as though Rex Grossman was his personal Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I gotta come back for more, this take was so bad...This blog is a prime example of pointless contrarian hackery. YOU BLEW MY MIND WITH SUGGESTING A 37 FOOT SHOT IS A GOOD SHOT. THE PARADIGM IS WRECKED. DAY IS NIGHT!

Wtf are you talking about? It is a horrible shot. Had he missed (which was highly likely) we’d be laughing at Dame because of the following...

All jokes about the OKC meltdown aside, I don’t really understand why listing Lillard’s small sample stats this series from 30-34 feet is relevant at all on a contested 37 foot shot. 3 more feet even from 34 to 37 is a huge difference. Seems pointless here.

I’m old.  Please forgive me.  I’ll be dead soon enough.

Hot Take - Kyle Lowry will have to score more than 0 points for the Raptors to win this series.

All of this information is obvious, and I don’t know why this article clearly ignores all of it just to stand by Deadspin’s pro-labor (as long as that labor is millionaire athletes) agenda.

The guy goes “I demand you blow up this team midseason and wreck the future of the franchise by not being able to get close to fair value for me, because I demand to go right now during the season instead of after it” and the people responsible for the toxic environment are the executives who quite correctly told him…

Pretty sure he would have missed all of them anyway.

It’s low self-esteem. He thinks he is not important enough for people to care what he thinks and that’s why he feels free to say mean things about people.
