A lot of people don’t know this, but “Tim Duncan Makes Citizen’s Foul Call” is the most perfect sentence in the English language.

There is one instance in which I’m okay with video review. You can check if a shot was a two or a three, but only during a stoppage in play. Otherwise, stop wasting our time. Even if replay was useful in getting calls right (which it isn’t, as this article points out), that usefulness would be offset by how terrible…

As someone who is at least moderately good at Pharah:

Get good at using Concussive Blast for movement. It’s your get out of jail free card when someone jumps on you, and it’s the way you close distance on the hit scans who are keeping you out of the skies. You should be using it probably 80% of the time to move…

God, that gif is like basketball porn. It took me like 5 minutes to actually get to reading the article because I couldn’t stop watching that pass.

Do independently standing Sbarro’s actually exist? I’ve only ever seen Sbarro’s in a mall or an airport.

To give you a genuine answer:

One of the things I really like about this episode (in combination with the last) is how much Tyrion we got, and how it emphasized the strengths and weaknesses of Tyrion as Hand. He’s a character we love to cheer for, but he’s not a great military strategist. He’s clever (the Wildfire at King’s Landing, the secret…

Since seeing clips of him in high school, I’ve described DSJ as Westbrook-esque. I’m not saying he’s going to be as good as Westbrook, but his strength, speed, explosive athleticism and love of dunking on peoples’ heads always reminded me of Russ.

It boggles my mind that people knocked him down for his time at State,…

Agreed. It felt like a game built for speedrunning. Made me want to get Titanfall 2. The runner and the couch were really engaging and informative as well.

This is the most perfect 14 seconds I’ve ever seen. Everything about it is incredible.

One of the things that always bothered me about Hearthstone, and is a large part of the reason I gravitated towards Arena over Constructed when I was still playing it, is that you’re locked into one class for a deck. There is variation within those classes, but I can’t play a Warrior/Priest deck, or a Mage/Paladin…

I haven’t read The Vertical once, but I know that Jonathan Givony from DraftExpress does some writing for them, and he’s one of the best NBA draft guys out there. I’ve never needed to check The Vertical though, cause DraftExpress still exists.

Since Andre Miller (the undisputed king) retired last year, the 3 best might be West, Diaw and Joe Johnson, and they’re all in a series together. What a magical time for basketball dads.

Here’s where I stand: If you’re playing quick play, you don’t get to complain about team comp. You don’t get to complain about off-meta picks. You don’t get to insist on a 2-2-2 comp. That’s what competitive is for (and there are times when it can be misplaced and shitty there too). And competitive can be toxic and…

Here’s my explanation:

1) It doesn’t really have to do with depth of talent. There is a slightly lesser talent pool for women’s ball than men’s, and it does tend to be more concentrated at the top, but as some others have pointed out, it’s not as if UCONN gets all the top recruits. Look at the top 10 or 15 recruits…

I don’t really have a problem with it. That gif happens because the attacking team didn’t do well enough to capture the point even a little bit, and they didn’t adjust for that fact by defending back on the point. They should have lost, and they did.

I’m more offended that he said that after claiming last week that he was a “lifelong [N.C.] State fan”, as if those two things are not completely incompatible.

I have, unfortunately, spent a lot of time thinking about Gottfried. I did a whole series of blog posts about the team’s defense early in the year, which was as depressing as you’d expect.

Featherston’s piece is great. Andrew Carter in the N&O also had a really good piece correcting misconceptions by the national…

I don’t necessarily agree with you entirely, but I think you’re being overly simplistic and overstating your point. A few observations.

1) Plus/Minus is notoriously a stat that has a lot of noise in it. Great defenders often have years where their plus/minus seems out of whack because of the variance inherent in the…

Hey Nick, this is a real shitty article. Let’s talk about why.
