It’s not just reporters. Let me tell you about the wonders of Delsym, the only cough syrup that works for me.

I’ve been playing Arkham Knight a smidge on Xbox GamePass and the Batmobile stuff is just awful. No, I don’t want to winch a car up the side of a building so I can drive around on rooftops, thankyouverymuch. Why is the Riddler suddenly interested in dumb driving challenges as opposed to actual riddles? I loved Arkham…

Seems unlikely. Doesn’t the Ringer have physical offices most of these work in already on an hourly basis? Those aren’t the types of folks who usually get the “independent contractor” tag slapped on them. (More likely, they’d try to reduce the clout of the bargaining unit by arguing anyone who is involved in editorial…

Shoutout to Ratto for knowing it’s Clear Lake the lake as opposed to Clearlake the town.

So the ESA is dumb for the vulnerability, but Sophia Narwitz, who publicized it and then didn’t take down her video even after being told she was MAKING IT WORSE, sounds like a fantastic person.

The Arena is right next to the freeway, near the airport and the Coliseum. Major acts play there. It’s a stop on BART. Pretty sure everyone knows where it is, and the Warriors were a top drawing team in the league even when they were horrible. I used to pay $20 to watch Antawn Jamison and Jason Richardson drop…

I saw the headline and thought this was going to be about how the people who work at the East Bay Times don’t get a chance to buy the new East Bay Times-themed Klay Thompson shoes.

The Warriors may have been a rusty fire hydrant, but the Raps were a glass-eyed tiger. There’s two types of teams in this league, and they’re one of ‘em. You never thought you’d have to prove a great disturbance in the Force.

Wish this piece didn’t take so long to acknowledge that there are lots of fans who would have happily stayed till the end and cheered longer than it made sense, but most of those folks have been priced out and were watching the game at home or in bars. I grew to love this team as a Bay Area transplant during the lean…

I’m actually loving these wacky, tense finals, though I’d prefer that it wasn’t just Steph Curry and some guys on offense and Draymond/Iggy and some guys on defense. Klay is a pretty crucial piece if the Warriors want to have a chance to win.

As for the bigger California papers, I enjoy what the LA Times has been doing on a pretty regular basis, and the SF Chronicle does some impactful work, as well, though they don’t cover Silicon Valley as aggressively as I’d like. The Sacramento Bee has been gutted but does occasional work of impact, as well. The Fresno…

They went on an 18-0 run to build a huge lead and played fantastic defense. You can play “If team X made three shots they missed they would have won” for 80 percent of all NBA games. The Warriors also went cold and missed shots they normally make at the end of that fourth quarter. It was a brutal but suspenseful…

Of that ragtag bunch, Cook was the only guy who reliably can score. I mean, a healthy DeMarcus Cousins who’s in shape can get 20 or 30, but not the version we saw in Game 3. He needs his teammates to set him up.

Hard to say for sure because you can play “what if” all day, but I think the Warriors would’ve won Game 3 with Thompson. Certainly Lowry/Green/Van Vliet wouldn’t have all murdered them shooting 14 of 25 on 3s. The defensively limited Quinn Cook got a lot of run in that game, and Shaun Livingston was a team-worst -14…

I would argue that the Mercury News does a half-decent job at writing critical articles, but they don’t do as many big takeout pieces as the outlets you mentioned because that institution has been absolutely gutted by hedge fund types and I assume their tech reporters are in a constant state of crunch to feed the…

I kinda disagree with this? I haven’t been a beat writer, but expecting them to immediately recognize a minority owner on sight during a game when they’re largely focused on the court and working on deadline seems like a big ask. I’ve been a Warriors fan for 15-20 years, and I’ve never heard of this guy. Unless this…

I mean, dudes get injured. The Kawhi injury was lame AF, but let’s not go overboard and suggest that a half of great play in one game means the Spurs would’ve won that series. James Harden has “destroyed” the Warriors in similar fashion multiple times, and how many times has he beaten them?

If Cousins is something resembling in shape and healthy maybe, but he’s not going to get 20 against the Raptors, and Green only gets that if people are sagging off him to guard Curry + Thompson or Durant, or if there are tons of transition opportunities. If you stuck Cousins on the Raptors team that lined up tonight,…

You probably should’ve looked, as the Warriors beat the Pelicans, Grizzlies and Rockets on the way to the finals that year, and Zaza was a Milwaukee Buck.
