Played to the tune of yakety sax.

Yeah, it really goes to show how unpredictable the league is. Ever since that Nets trade, really, the narrative has been that the Celtics are ascendant and it’s only a matter of time before they’re winning multiple titles (some of this, of course, is because of the media’s default assumption that the league is only in…

It is a scorching hot take. I’d like for West to refuse the award from Trump, but the rest of the thing’s attempts to vilify him are just trying so damn hard. Sometimes Deadspin is a fun place to call out the idiocy of sports journalism, sometimes it does everything it likes to make fun of.

I don’t really understand the point of this nasty hit piece.

This is a strange takedown. 

I’m a Cavs, Browns, and Indians fan.  Go ahead and prove every Boston fan stereotype correct.

I sometimes find myself nostalgic for the Walter McCarty/Tony Battie era

but man, this is not at all how it was supposed to go!

Right? Who pays attention to passive investors?

but would they? a team could have dozens of people classified as minority owners.

One site says there are 17 total owners of the Warriors. Beyond Lacob and Gruber, why would a beat writer absolutely know who the other 15 are on sight?

Drake: I’m going to be the most dislikable courtside presence ever!

It’s certainly not an easy place to hide, but I’ve always felt like there’s far more local pressure on players across all sports in cities like Boston, Philly or Chicago than there is here. And I’d think Yankee players can avoid detection on the street far easier than any NHL player on a Canadian team. 

That’s the one! Stayed to the very end because you never know when Abreu might hit a 13 run homer

I brought 12 people to a game earlier this season and all I got was a 15-2 loss

Heeey... I resemble that remark. I was at this game. 

I especially like the part where he fakes the pass to the corner and is wearing a Clippers jersey when he spins back to the lane.

“And bedbugs uptown!”

Rats are moving in and taking over.  Pay attention!

I was about to answer that I often put it on as background when I’m, say, folding laundry or cooking dinner so I can stay current with sports I don’t follow closely, but then I realized that I don’t actually do that anymore.
