That [Hayward] struggled to hit shots in the key all series is a testament to Draymond Green and the Warriors’ swarming defensive ability.

It’s not just that they’re all white, mostly old, men. I mean, look at each face. On its own. Does that guy look like a nice grandfatherly guy? The kind of old guy who might be into woodworking or lawn bowling or telling funny, half-true stories to little kids with a gleam in his eye? Fuck. No. They all look like…

I’m sure ESPN knows its business a lot better than me but if “more breaking news, less analysis” is really what’s driving this, I don’t get it at all. The only NBA news I really give a shit about learning in real time is what’s happening on the actual courts. I’ll take smart analysis and in-depth behind-the-scenes…

Glad you wrote this article; West’s passing was easily the best thing in that game, and has been phenomenal all season. I could watch a highlight reel of just West-to-Clark assists over and over.

Oh yeah, it’s deeply rooted in a profound misunderstanding of biblical teachings. cf. Job 4:7-11.

You missed linking to this one, which was my favorite in the Brooks-as-Never-Trumper oeuvre. But I guess the temptation finally got to ol’ Dave. I wonder - will he ever acknowledge that in May 2017, he made the exact Faustian bargain that he, in January 2017, had boldly predicted would cost his fellow conservatives…

Some of them even think that the poor and sick DESERVE to suffer and die.

Have you actually watched the Clippers play the Warriors in the last three seasons? It’s typically a bloodbath. Draymond tends to embarrass Blake. It’s a delight.

This kind of attitude is why these motherfuckers, for all their stars-and-stripes sanctimony, are totally cool with Trump’s obvious yearning to be exactly the sort of strongman dictator the founders despised so much they fought a bloody guerilla war against their own countrymen and then argued passionately for a…

John Wall is great; the rest of that series was garbage.

Some of these workouts involve very silly positions and motions

While that’s to a large extent true, you can’t reach very many old people with inscrutable Twitter memes; Trump definitely needs cable TV.

Nope. I hate the Clippers; like the Jazz; enjoyed watching Utah-LAC; think Gordon Hayward is, like, Paul George level good and is underestimated for all the reasons I mentioned; have watched every Warriors’ game for the past couple years and am pretty confident Utah matches up better with GSW than do the Clippers,…

I wasn’t really precise enough here; I think his athleticism is underrated because he’s white. (Though, moreso it’s because he looked 11 years old when people first learned his name.)

This is probably the end of these Clippers. Good fucking riddance.

Jazz-Clips was easily the best first round series. As a Warriors fan I watched most of it, knowing that the Jazz will give the Warriors a lot more trouble* than the Clippers would have (even before Blake got hurt), but constitutionally incapable of rooting for the Clippers.

You think Hatch will be even worse? Fuck.

Some of them know; some of them don’t; few of them care; some of them may think they can literally change the way it works through sheer force of will; others are probably just scared to rock the boat.

Listen NYT - the credibility you earn by refusing to cry wolf at the sight of every rambunctious labrador isn’t really worth shit if you’re gonna insist on trying to convince me that AN ACTUAL FUCKING WOLF is just, like, an especially rambunctious labrador.

Is anybody starting to worry that all these fuckers who are being removed from the WH and re-routed to as-yet-unspecified jobs elsewhere within government are actually starting up Trump’s answer to the SS?
