Switch the coaches in this series and Milwaukee wins. Middleton, Giannis, and Bledsoe would look like a Big 3 in Stevens’ hands, but Milwaukee’s sets didn’t get anybody open. Eric Bledsoe going 1 on 5 was their best offense last night, and that’s not sustainable. Giannis didn’t get nearly enough touches in the flow of…

Thank you. I think Simmons is for real, but how about Embiid plays anything close to a full season before we decide that they’re about to take over the league? I’m watching this series thinking that if you took Steph, Klay, and Durant off the floor, I’d still pick Golden State in 6 over both these teams. Future is…

Hamilton, how can you write this without mentioning the zoning restrictions in “progressive” cities like NYC and SF? Those are the markets where housing supply is restricted by zoning regulations and red tape, and those are the markets where costs have risen the most dramatically. There are plenty of developers who…

I love the preemptive racism claims. Apparently imaginary racist basketball fans will like this kid but hate Russell Westbrook. How does the scene play out in your head? I don’t know anything about this kid (and neither does 99.99% of the rest of the country) but if he’s good he’ll probably have fans, and if he’s…

Haha yes, Chinese healthcare is much better than American healthcare, said someone who had no clue what they were talking about.

Remember when we all thought that more instant replay was always an improvement? I think we’ve hit the threshold, particularly in hockey and basketball, where that just isn’t the case. I don’t want goals constantly disallowed for being one micrometer offside or see every goal in traffic turn into the Zapruder film. I…

I’ll call bullshit on this one. Even the Browns aren’t dumb enough to draft a QB and not have a bunch of coaches focused on getting him whatever he needs to study the game and their system. I guarantee that there were a half dozen video coaches and assistant coaches putting together film for him all the time, and I…

Nerlens Noel turned down 4 years $70M? That is stupefying. There should be another level beyond firing (possibly a firing squad), and that’s what his agent should’ve gotten. The contracts that were given when the cap went up were hilariously dumb (look up Tyler Johnson’s cap figure). There’s never been a time when…

Hot take - Cooks isn’t that good. Not a bad player obviously, but I wouldn’t consider him among the 20 most best at his position in the league. The Saints didn’t seem to miss him much this year, and I bet the Patriots don’t miss him much next year. Both teams preferred to add a first round pick instead of keeping…

Yep, I’ll sign off on that too. I’m excited to watch him start the year hot again, soak in all the hype, then hit .240 the whole second half with average power. He’s the classic fast start that everyone remembers, super slow finish that no one remembers guy.

Liberal solution - something is terrible, so we just need more of it and it will be good and people will learn to love it. Or maybe instant replay has nothing to do with politics. It is possible, even on this site.

Zlatan is so awesome. I hope he plays forever

The heel turn for Durant has been really amazing. Can’t believe I actually root more for Lebron at this point than KD. And sorry Kev, I know that as an American in this beautiful, freedom-loving, capitalist country you had every right to do so, but joining a 74 win Warriors team after you were up 3-1 on them and…

Just remember whenever you hear a European (or an American) talk about “ugly American tourists” or how uncivilized we are, etc, soccer hooligans, in every country of Europe, make our worst sports fans look like Mr. Rogers. Big games have separate entrances for the opposing supporters because otherwise there will be…

***Who hasn’t been signed by anyone and is crashing pro days to plead with teams to sign him.

The picture of white privilege? Manziel has been out of the league!? He hasn’t been signed by anyone and his name is practically synonymous with hard drinking douchery. Why did Tebow not get signed as a backup QB? What was the reason, if not the fact that NFL teams didn’t want the press attention that came with it?…
