Another rule: all teams that play in the Badlands are called the Browns. Hockey, base ball, whatever. They are the Browns. Browns vs. Browns. Fans are forced to wear brown at the stadium.

I think this is the right route to go. The Rockets could also start Capela on Durant, that way when someone comes over to double KD and he swings it to Draymond or Andre, Capela could be the recovery man and help disrupt anything that would make it to the rim out of the double team advantage. Golden State could…

Golden State checked him just fine after his flurry in the opening minutes, generously accommodating the Rockets’ desire to match him up with Steph Curry

The Rockets decided that they’d beat the Warriors by signing a guy who they’ve depantsed for five seasons. The funny part was that people bought in.

Why, you could almost say that not all isolations are equal.

You can’t flop for the foul if you are putting up a fight.

It wasn’t even an A-game by the Warriors and they still won by double-digits. Crazy.

Mike Tyson Edges Out Michael Spinks

Hot Take: Harden has got to be the guy who shoves Draymond back if he wants to win this series. 

YES. This is my family. They say I’m a liberal elite because I worked two full-time jobs while going to school full-time and then took any job that showed me a part of the world or society I wasn’t familiar with (I worked on film sets). They’ve done nothing to improve/educate themselves or even see anyplace beyond…

Yeah-and I get shit from family for living in the “inner city” but meanwhile all the stabbings and opiod problems are in their outer majority white neighborhood. I also get shit for not wanting a car but I can walk or bus everywhere, why would I want that extra expense when i don’t need it? But that would be logical.…

Sounds like where I grew up. The reason I’m poor and unemployed is because all these other people/groups are holding me down. The reason that black person is poor and unemployed is because they’re too lazy to use the bootstraps god gave them.

Related: As a white person who grew up poor and then got my ass educated and into decent field after taking a look at my family (but who has lived in the evil city all her life), I am sick and goddamned tired of poor white people giving up on themselves, refusing to adapt, having hoardes of children who are not…

You didn’t read the damn thing, did you?

There are common-sense ways to help with this. Example: cool guys have an extra foul to give.

We’ve been waiting for it all year and the wait is finally over: the finals are here.

You’re right that they miss Kyrie in those late situations that require improvisational brilliance; but having no choice but to fend for themselves and not rely on Kyrie has forced all the other players to be better, and they’ve done it.

On one hand they’re not getting defense nearly as good as they have right now if they’re playing Kyrie over Rozier.

Celtics homer here. This game was awesome, but the Cavs looked tuned out. Bad defense and poor shooting killed any hope they had. Celts should be happy, but who knows what Cleveland team shows up next game.
