yeah cool, he’s only averaging 23.6 points/gm for the playoffs (on 44% shooting). which would tie him with larry bird for career playoff average, 25th overall in nba history. and this is a relatively POOR performance by his own standards (he’s 9th overall on that list). also he dislocated a finger and is averaging 40

uhh..lets not get too crazy. Walton was massively more athletic before all the injuries. Jokic is great and hes his own thing but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves here. 

They seriously had no idea what those photos with the rowing gear was all about?  These kids had to actively participate in the scheme for it to work. 

It’s really adorable that you think the kids will learn anything from this. 

Calm.down dude. Your star is 24 and you have the youngest team in the playoffs. No need to despair. Win or lose this will be good experience for them.

Houston seemed by far to be the Western Conference team best suited to disrupting Golden State’s march to a third consecutive championship

The real death lineup is the friends we make along the way.

The Rockets are fully the most unlikeable team in the NBA.

It is a measure of just how much Harden has bastardized the game that I will gladly root for a villainous dynasty with obscenely unfair levels of talent to beat him by any means necessary for no other reason than that I fear too many players growing up in Harden’s image if he has success.

Wouldn’t perfection include going further than the Quarter-finals in the Champions League?

City set the league on fire, orchestrating easily the greatest Premier League season of all time

I will take accuracy over your feels any day and twice on Sunday. VAR ensured the right result in the Juve vs. Ajax match, again in the Porto vs. Liverpool match, and yet again in the City vs. Spurs match. Take away VAR and a whole slew of injustices could have and probably would have occurred. Yeah, no thanks. You

I love the implication that all neutrals were siding with oil-money-owned Man City, and underdog Spurs and their fans don’t count as real people, or something.

Now playing

VAR is devaluing the single most important moment in soccer: when the ball goes in the net. This instant used to be the most powerful moment in maybe all of sports. Now, one waits to see if it means anything. This can’t be good for the game in the long run. It just can’t.

Aaron Gordon’s appeal to the emotional aspect of a goal has a logical conclusion that we should just ignore any rules that would take a ball out of the back of the net. If a player starts celebrating a goal and never bothers to look over at the linesman who’s raised his flag for offsides, then that goal should stand

I don’t think it’s hyperbole in the slightest. Staring down a 3,000-foot cliff face and choosing to climb it with zero assistance is truly astounding. Literally just you against the Earth itself. There are less than a handful of humans to ever exist that could have pulled this off and only one with the balls big

the most impressive athletic achievement of our lifetimes

Pinnacle of human achievement? Meh, you’ve never seen me repeat back exactly what my wife just told me even though I am clearly not listening.

After a belaying mistake causes Honnold to fall and get injured, he floats the idea of breaking up with McCandless on the spot. She has to break through his wall and get him to see that he can, in her words “have it all,” while she simultaneously copes with the ever-present possibility of Honnold crashing to the

I can relate. On way to work today my shoe became untied. I faced the uncertain fear of stopping to tie it and risk being run over or push on. I decided to press on in constant fear of possibly tripping. Barely made it.
