That hit on Draper was disgusting. So, so bad. Those teams HATED each other. I can’t imagine how good it must have felt for Detroit to hang 7 on them in Game 7 of the conference final in 2002.

“the mind of a fourth-line pest is stuck inside the body of that 100-point man”
Can you literally think of any better way to describe what would be any coach’s dream in any sport? A star player with the mindset of a fringe guy?
I’ve never had a more love-hate relationship with any pro athletes than I do with this guy and Bergeron. I love them both as players, both for the Bruins and Team Canada, and Marchand is a hometown boy for me, who also played for the hometown Major Junior team for a brief stint, but I’m a Leafs fan...
You hate him, but you want a pest like this on your team for this reason. No less than three CBJ players tried to line him up on that shift shortly after this, if one of them had tripped him, or taken an interference for that, his ploy would have worked.
That’s tremendous.
The “I don’t see the problem” commentary coming from mostly male readers is exactly how and why this was created in the first place.
Silly liberals, the founding fathers intended for the first amendment to only apply to alt-right media provacators to be able to speak on college campuses for a profit where the students and faculty don’t even want them to speak at...
To be honest, the shot wasn’t the most impressive thing. It was the presence of mind to keep that face when he was being mugged by teammates. “they are going to take pictures of me here and play this on TV, I’m going to make a totally blank expression. I’m a killer, I don’t feel like I did anything out of the ordinary…
I know a lot of people are thinking The Rockets can and will take out Golden State but fuck that, we need a Golden State-Portland series. We need seven games of Lillard-Curry. We just fucking do. We need Ennis Kanter and Draymond Green exchanging elbows. We need Klay Thompson & Cj McCollum going at each other. If…
Jay, this article is so wonderful. Thank you for filling my morning with laughter and joy. Always read you!
This is WONDERFUL...Thank you for this article Jay....#BLACKBOYJOY =D
He did pretty much the same shit five years ago against the Rockets to avoid a Game 7. That one was a just a “regular-ass” three and he didn’t score 47 before it. But the Blazers were down two when he did it to the Rockets. Anyway, Lillard is rude as hell. With a history being rude as hell. Fucking awesome but also…
“I don’t always chuck up disrespectful 40 footers to win playoff series, but when I do, they go in”
At 10 seconds, I was wondering when Lillard would make his move. At 5 seconds, I was screaming at him to make a move toward the basket! When the shot left his hands with two seconds left, I thought, “what a terrible, stupid shot.” Then it went in. I rewound the DVR to watch the last two minutes at least five times.…
This is so stupid, and I just did a beverage-less spit take. Take your fucking star and get outta here.
The best part of it was it’s the shot he wanted the whole time. Over the best wing defender in basketball, from almost 40 feet away.
One of those truly seminal moments* that justifies all the dumb shit involved in following sports.
It takes a mad-dog psycho killer to even go to a step-back from the logo when the final possession left plenty of time to work closer to the basket.
That was some horseshit NBA JAM eat-your-money cheating-AI shenanigans of a shot... And it was fucking AWESOME
Chris, that was awesome. Fuck.
