Far be it for me to criticize Richard Sherman, but if he’s still going to be grumpy with Wilson about SB 49 he might want to consider that they had a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter of that game and his number 1, bad-ass, we-never-take-blame-for-anything defense couldn’t hold it. 

Then change the photo. I’d have sex with Kate Beckinsale under almost any circumstance I can think of, and many that I have not.

Hmmm....something tells me Raptors don’t survive a scorched Earth approach.

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...

“This player is soft because, instead of allowing another player to knock him around without consequences, he tagged him back.”

It’s funny that one of these guys hid his shove behind a play-act of basketball and then ran to the ref to complain about a whistle, while the other one came straight at him and did not pretend to be doing anything other than shoving a motherfucker, and you think the one who did not bother to hide behind the rules…

It is fucking unbearable to go through the comments on here anytime a Boston player/team is rightfully criticized - either Deadspin gets a huge # of readers from there or they’re just more vocal/annoying.

It would be jaw-dropping to see Lowe forced out of ESPN less than a year after ESPN won a bidding war for his services. They’re starting to give him TV exposure (notably Rachel Nichol’s show, but also producing videos of his pieces). Also, he seems like a sweet guy who doesn’t cause any problems the way Bill Simmons…

He’s way too good for ESPN to cut, in my opinion

Lowe just signed a contract last summer, but like the article noted, Stein recently signed a contract too. I don’t think Lowe is in jeopardy, because his work doesn’t over lap with Woj as much and he still has a pretty good niche. (Also I don’t think ESPN doesn’t want to eat his 2 million a year compared to Stein’s…

One thing this article doesn’t reference is the status of Zach Lowe.

“ESPNers have been told that Wojnarowski will be a reporter, not an editor, and that ESPN has learned from the mistakes it made in granting power to Bill Simmons”

Naturally this is their lesson learned, given that the only thing ESPN ever did right with Bill Simmons was to make him an editor and allow him to hire and…

Yeah. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Simmons talk about and acknowledge Boston’s racism on numerous occasions.

I dislike Simmons as much as the next Deadspin Commenter, but this pretty clearly reads to me as him being pissed that bystanders let this go on.

I think that the Jazz could consider themselves having a brilliant season if they somehow manage to push the Warriors to 6 games.

Deadspin’s constant obsession with shitting on Bill Simmons is getting a bit tiresome.

we can’t talk about how truly insane the Clippers collapse was in 2015. That was Their Year. They were relatively healthy (I know Chris missed some games in the Semis), and it felt like the Warriors were still coming into their own, and it was the only time that it felt like all of DeAndre, Chris and Blake were at…

An equally valid question: Can Gobert hang with the Warriors’ smaller players in the pick and roll? That might go as far in determining how long this series goes as Hayward’s performance.
