I would say that people who believe in curses are the same ones that say “we won.”

And somehow, the regular season becomes even more worthless...

“It, is happening, again.”

Basketball at its most basic is nearly impossible to officiate. Now, add in the NBA’s “entertainment variables,” and you have a real tire-fire on your hands.

Nadal is like the suspicious caretaker of the “haunted house” in Scooby Doo.

I support the 61* line of thinking, but accept that it is the clear minority view.

“Fuck’em all”

After paying attention to GS for the first time this year. I’ve come to the conclusion that Wilt would average 40/25 against them.

Baseball is probably the only major sport that is immune from this. This is due to this simplistic/binary game design, safe/out fair/foul... (studies have shown that they are 90% accurate with the strike zone)

You’re burying the lede.

“Extend the $eries.”

Naismith never could have imagined a guard with Westbrook or pre-Simba Rose levels of athleticism. The game is broken when it comes to the rulebook.

it’s rarely called, but it is illegal.

It’s Taco Bell, everyone gets the runs!

This series has been begging for the return of: Deadspin Contributor, Tim Donaghy.

Is it sad that I assumed they did call the foul on Leonard, but with a 30ft/3 second continuation call?

Baseball is the only major sport where you could call everything by the book, and it would still be watchable.
