IDK what play it was on, and I couldn’t find it in a video, but somewhere around the 4-minute mark left in the game, Hardin did his patented step-back move, picked up his dribble, faked, hopped to the left without a dribble, then shot. It was gross.

Ahhh...so he’s a spineless opportunist. Thanks for clarifying that he’s actually worse.

I had one of these types of coaches in high school. I was playing summer league the year before I would start my freshman year. The coach said he saw some potential in me but told me he wanted to toughen me up to help me earn a starter spot by my sophomore year. I thought that meant showing me techniques to dive…

From the angle on these videos, I can’t tell if he’s 6'2" or “6'” “2"”.

Does this make Eli an accessory to killing God?

Reminds me of my 8th grade dance rehearsal, DAD! 

Man, that dong plunged deep into the gorge.

It’s true. This country is truly being influenced by the Soros, the CNN, and the fake news. That’s why Republicans control all three houses of government and the Supreme Court now leans right.

I don’t have great faith in Houston to beat Cleveland in the Finals. Harden tightens up in the playoffs when his foul-drawing schtick doesn’t draw calls. Paul is similar and was on a squad with one of the greatest flops in playoff history (Clipper fourth quarter meltdown to Houston).

That 8-foot running hook is magnificent! I will say, that 1 assist is a little glaring, but his role on the team is to score and only score.

1) The Cavs would be on the road if they face Toronto in the ECF anyway. Why not just get that over with and take a chance that the Sixers lose in the second round?

Not that this would happen, but what if Cleveland considered dropping to the 4 seed so that you can get Toronto earlier? Like, why wait for the ECF for Toronto? And if they get by them, they could be getting some scrub or young team (Phili, Miami, or Washington) that they could easily handle in 5 games. If might help…

Man, Johnny Cueto has really changed.

This might be the problem with this team from the start. Even at nearly 80 games, there still is an air of an offense that is a mix of iso-ball and straight-forward on-ball pick-and-rolls instead of having any kind of offensive flow or movement. It’s similar to the Westbrook-Durant tandem but a third player.

True. No teams wants nor needs baserunners in the first.

I suggested this strategy last week in the article on the Astros shift when pitching to Gallo. It was amazing how many “cool story, bro”-type responses there were:

Autumn is usually a noice time to travel.

How do I unlock unlimited dongs mode?

At some point if you are Gallo, or whoever, you just slap it until they realize they defense has to play you normal again. I hate to say it’s a free hit, but if they can simply stick the bat out and slap it to third (easier said than done), it’s a free base! (Also, crack is whack!)

I wonder if some left-handed hitter tries to simply slap at the ball rather than take a full swing. Like, hold it like a bunt, then slap it in the general direction of third base.
