I have never recovered from this syndrome.

ah, thanks for this fix, forgot about that match. Agreed re: the winners. Though even when Shapo is going for broke and spraying, you can usually detect an intelligent instinct behind the shot, which is more than can be said for a lot of other ESAW sufferers, who whale at the ball badly out of position. It’s early,…

That Berdych match at Queen’s club last summer was highly competitive and hugely entertaining, and, in my mind, really kicked off his excellent summer. It was one of his first really good pro matches, despite being a loss, against a top player. He won a Challenger or two after this (though he bombed at Wimbledon) and…

Well played. Well played.

Y is Dwane?

Everyone except Dwyane Wade knows it was just the wrong moment.

I’d say what was missing was the w.

The y in this Case is Casey.

That’s part of it, but these are still small sample sizes. The Pacers played well and the non-LeBron Cavs played historically poorly against Indiana and historically well against Toronto.

Yeah, I think the nail in the coffin was seeing Lebron have to turn on every afterburner he possessed just to barely squeeze by in seven games a middling team nobody had a lot of expectations for, only for 48 hours later an even more tired Lebron to show up in Toronto, miss a bunch of shots and not really try to win…

I understand the how, where and when Casey got fired. What seems to be missing is the y.

We’re done here, people. We can all go home for the day. Bravo.

I mean... Mike Brown is sitting right there

I starred this because it is funny. But it isn’t funny because it is true. I think Blatt is actually a good coach, and it didn’t work in Cleveland because Lebron is an asshole.

This is the first kinja comment I have ever seen that I want screen printed on a t shirt

I can’t wait to check back in later today and see this with 1000 stars

Is there some available coach out there who has a secret plan for making James less good at basketball?

This feels like one of those “you can’t fire the players but you can fire the coach” deals.
