We used to call massed Winstons “the barrel of monkeys” but have since renamed this hilarious tactic to “Harambe’s revenge.”

Straight-line foot speed isn’t a great measure of defensive athleticism. Irving is small, not particularly long, can’t jump that high, not particularly quick laterally. He’s a wizard at getting through traffic, drawing contact and finishing around the rim. That’s his biggest NBA skill. He’s not a freakish athlete by…

In fairness to Kyrie, he’s way too small to guard either Livingston or Barnes. Listed at 6'3" but he’s more like 6'1" without a lot of length or explosive leaping ability. He worked his ass off on some of those Livingston shots, but he just can’t get high enough to challenge them.

This game is a giant glorious con and I can’t wait to see the marks’ reactions at the end.

This is rich considering Russell Westbrook, with all the talent in the world, routinely declines to play defense for entire quarters at a time.

ACTUALLY THEY’RE FROM PORTUGAL BLAAAAAARRRRRRR

Shouldn’t you be filming a commercial, Mr. Paul?

I rolled my eyes at Toronto for most of the playoffs, but these last two games were impressive by any measure.

Oh shit we better ban bicycles and stop watching cycling and preen and moralize over our choices

I was the cranky captain who’d see a mack line at practice and shout “Maybe you guys could be working on actual Ultimate skills.” If you can mack it, you damn sure could have caught it. Also, intentional macks are illegal in games.

The game was tied at 40-40 a few minutes into the second quarter and the Thunder went +25 over like 8 minutes to end the half. It was an insane burst that ended the game early, not 48 minutes of dominance.

Draymond Green is a psychic ninja who can deliver devastating blows to any region of his opponent’s body with pinpoint accuracy even if he’s in mid-air off-balance with a basketball in his hands looking at the rim.

So, it’s a poop thing?

Lebron teams always look good when things are easy and they’re pounding nobodies from the feeble Eastern Conference. Not so good when games and dunks are contested by actual playoff-caliber NBA talent.

Especially since Barnes (while a very good defender) can be beaten off the dribble. I think part of it is the Warriors switching so many guys onto Durant. Iggy, Livingston, Draymond, Barnes, Barbosa, even Klay sometimes—each bothers Durant in a different way and he’s not able to settle into any one move or…

If the sex sucks, bow out. However much you like this person, the planet is full of other people you’d like JUST AS MUCH and enjoy fucking way more. Sex is important. It’s not shallow to say so. Just move on and you can both find people who make you happier.

This happens with a lot of one-man projects. Rare is the artist who can write.

Nice.

Boston. I mean, they’re hyper-aggressive maniacs, but they know what they’re doing.
