This will go down with “Blacks Rule” and the girl who scratched the backwards “B” into her face and claimed it was a deranged Obama-loving black man who did it to her.

I don’t know if it’s the same guy, but I believe this was the blog that created a mini-controversy last year when they posted that the Warriors were disrespecting the up-and-coming Jazz for, like, laughing and having a good time in their own locker room. It was weird.

I’m not at all into this signing. Can a player like Young contribute? Maybe, but in some pretty limited situations where you just need some cold-blooded scoring (generally not a weakness for the Warriors). But to eat into the minutes of Iguodala, Livingston, or Patrick McCaw? Javale McGee made sense because the…

It may suck to be the Utah Jazz today, and your points are dead on re: the CBA screwing over teams like this, but traditionally, being the Utah Jazz has been pretty awesome. For most of my youth, they were a maddeningly tough and consistently very good team. They had like 20 consecutive playoff appearances until they…

Well, I guess we’ll know Boston is off the table if Ainge-friendly media starts reporting that Ainge offered 7 first round picks and 200 million a year, but Hayward’s demands were just outrageous.

I suspect that this goes on right up to the extent it’s allowable under the CBA, but not much further. It seems like the penalty for fucking with the salary cap in the NBA has always been harsh. I remember the Joe Smith deal, with Minnesota, I think, where they lost a bunch of draft picks and it set them back.

I was stunned by how much of a pay cut he took. Throughout the season it was a foregone conclusion that the Warriors would most likely to lose either Livingston or Iguodala, maybe even both. That they’ve managed to hold onto both is quite the coup. I think the expectation was that KD might sacrifice maybe 3-4 million…

In the end, all it did was focus even more ire on JoePa. Had they just accepted that JoePa’s (in)actions were a major, personal failing, everyone might still remember some of the good things he did. But because the truthers kept insisting that JoePa did nothing wrong, it made people madder and madder, and was clear…

Interesting to note the players in the pitch included 2 day Clippers like Pat Beverley and Sam Dekker, but did NOT include Austin Rivers, eh? Maybe that

Maybe that would have been true during the LBJ-Heat period, when that was just such an incredibly stacked team in terms of star power, and nobody else really matched up. But even though the Cavs are a super team in their own right, it would seem foolish to duck them considering there are TWO dominant teams in the…

I totally agree with this. Both the NBA and NHL invite too many damn teams into the playoffs (and why does the NHL start a month earlier, but end at the same time?). Ideally, the playoffs should be a reward for the best regular seasons, not just a sort of second season in and of itself.

I think this is an ideal solution. Division winners get in regardless, with 10 wild cards chosen based on record.

I am sure that in previous talks, Indiana wanted a better deal, and maybe they’d have always wanted a steep price from Boston.... But a lot has happened since the trade deadline, with PG flat out telling Indiana he wouldn’t re-sign. I mean, did he check in after that happened? Ainge seems to have a lot of enablers in…

It is just mind-boggling to me that the Warriors are the biggest thing in the NBA. Just an incredible turn of events over the past 5 years.

I thought it was Marcus Smart and what amounted to two late-ish 1st rounders?

Ah, the natural order of things has returned, as Russ will again be paired with a more efficient offensive player, that he will still, nevertheless, take more shots than.

Well, this is a dang bummer. Turner is super exciting, and he’s paired up with the perfect manager for him in Dusty Baker who believes in the running game. Hope he’s able to come back soon.

The NCAA needs a hating family member exception for cases like this or Laremy Tunsil. No allegations can be acted on if coming from a spiteful, fuckup family member.

LOL

Coach’s kids have always been a source of resentment, and brother, can I see it with Austin Rivers. From being selected in the lottery, to being acquired and extended by his Dad, he has definitely gotten more than he’s earned in his NBA career.
