Surely there must be some mistake. My white American liberal friends inform me there is no racism in Europe.

Bryce Harper has never encountered an ump with a wide strike zone? Sounds pretty clowny to me.

I still don’t get why balaclava are supposed to be a terrible purchase. Anybody who rides a bike or motorcycle in winter in a city with actual seasons is always losing or wearing out those things.

“The US is one of the few countries where the women’s team is actually better (in terms of consistent world ranking) than the men’s team.”

Or maybe they just figure a year of Hibbert is better than re-signing an over-achieving Jordan Hill to four or five years for too much money. Not everything is the zero-sum game Deadspin makes it out to be; they chose a point guard with the 2 pick and ignored a big man in the classic Laker mold. And they know that…

“Serena overreacted.”

I know you guys think you’re being acerbic with this kind of stuff but like have you seriously considered the possibility that you’re just assholes?

But then you couldn’t Instagram yourself next to a melting ice cube. How would anyone know you were there?

“I just don’t know what will come first: the tourist demand that will weaken Antarctica’s strict environmental protocols, or invasive king crabs that wipe out Antarctica’s fragile ecosystem. But a sinking feeling in my gut tells me we’ll be facing one or both.”

He’ll make a tremendous Yankee or Red Sock one day.

Considering [Plashcke], I think Plashcke can kindly shut the fuck up.

That’s why coaches get on players about at least troubling shooters and why James Harden is sometimes (deservedly) lambasted for his occasional complete disinterest in guarding his man. The more work you do making a shooter look for an open shot, the less chance that shot has of going down, since so much of shooting…

Well, it doesn’t need to be permanent, but from the Cavs perspective, it does just need to last two more games.

I think you might be overstating the public’s antipathy toward the man. People were down on him after the Hawks and Bulls series, but it feels more now like a grudging respect edging into burgeoning oddball legend.

The best part about all this is watching Deadspin have to walk back everything they said about the Cavs in the first half of the season: they stink, hahaha Mozgov, the team hates Blatt, who is a terrible coach (well, this still might be true), LeBron is old and washed up, they can’t play defense. It’s like walking…

Very salty in here tonight.

Because God treats Cleveland like Lucy treats Charlie Brown trying to kick a football, the Cavs will probably go up 3-1 and have a sizable lead late in game 5 before the epic collapse begins.

Yeah, the Historically Great Warriors beat LeBron James and seven scrubs. Oh wait, they didn’t.

Yeah, it’s not fantastic basketball but man, is it ever fantastic basketball.

LeBron had 11 assists and Mozgov, as has been pointed out, had 17 points, so obviously they were working the limited angles they had once in a while. And considering that 65 Cavs shots came from people who didn’t have “James” written on the back of their jerseys, I’m thinking you’re suffering a bit of confirmation…
