I remember a happier time when the internet was young and I discovered the “Sports Guy” on ESPN’s page 2. There wasn’t much free, entertaining sports content on-line, so Simmons was a “fresh voice” Yeah, he was opinionated, insufferable, and a blatant homer. But I had some really great office poops while reading his…

No mention of Iguodala’s absence from the line-up and the resulting reliance on K Looney? Would the outcome have been different if he’d been healthy, considering his play making and tight D throughout the playoffs?

As they say/chant in the Greek Orthodox church: “WISDOM! Let us be attentive!”

My inner 13-y.o. very much likes the urban camo. Would that callow bastard overrule my mature 53 y.o. brain? I honestly don’t know.

This comment has made me incredibly happy. Thank you, kind sir, for this moment of levity in a day filled with bullshit.

Yeah, 9 of those boxes applied to me .... aaaaaannnnd now I’m on a list.

Being white must be fucking horrible.

Poor Nene knew what he was about to get when he checked in to the game. It went just as we all expected!

Can we take a minute to appreciate the HOLY SHIT factor of the play at the 35 second mark of the Durant highlight video? Harden shoots, Durant rebounds, takes a dribble and then tries to pass, the pass is deflected, Durant picks up the ball right on the half court line, takes ONE dribble, and dunks the ball! One…

The Rockets showed flashes of “competence” that should give them hope: Harden was unstoppable, a few nice lobs to Capela, and they seemed to frustrated Curry with some tight D. But their lack of depth and inability to stop Durant seemed like two things that will seal their doom.

who is the victim of more uncalled fouls than any player I’ve ever watched play basketball

Clearly you, and the good commenters of Deadspin are missing the issue at hand. If the MLB overlords allow this free-spirited individuality, at some point somebody will put something on their shoes that <gasp> offends somebody.

“and going into Embiid’s chest”

Waaaaaaay back when this year’s All-Star team selection was underway, I posted “my selections” for the East in the Reddit NBA sub. I included Al Horford and, despite all of the really dumb takes I’ve championed over the years, that selection garnered the most on-line criticism I’ve ever received. You’d have thought…

Some day I hope to experience that difference in person!

RIP your tires.

I felt that same feeling standing next to a Shelby Cobra as the owner blipped the throttle. Not wide open, just “gently” revving the engine. I’d never been that close to an engine that was that viscerally raw.

Wow... that... ummm, I’m physically aroused now.

Vanilla Coke Zero??? (quick google search)

Wow, I know I’ve led a sheltered life but I can’t imagine how I missed this. A thousand thanks to you!

Chris Paul is my Exhibit A for when friends say “Lebron can’t go to (NBA Team) because he won’t be able to play with (Ball Dominant Star) “Hey look, Paul and Harden work wonderfully together and apart. Maybe having a great basketball IQ allows you to incorporate another players strengths to make something truly…
