When the NFL takes away the right to kneel during the anthem and you are given a literal platform for a photo op with the President of the United States where you can kneel and then talk some bigtime smack to basically your worst enemy you.... boycott?

Bringing back bullpen cars was clearly a huge mistake.

If I read this right the deceased was trying to keep the driver from escaping by closing a gate that confined her on a little league field with a bunch of kids?!??

Incomplete analysis is conjecture by definition so I’m not sure of your point.

I’ll give you that he is so controlling as a person and player he contributes to a dynamic where players may be in awe of him and overly dependent on him, but a 15 year vet’s gotta be accountable for basic basketball plays.

This is great parody. I hope.

Because clearly this can be reduced to statistics to predict what would happen in one of the most psychologically, physically, and emotionally unusual situations seen all year.

When JR walks back on the court for OT and points up and kisses his fingers I like to think he is saying “Scoreboard, baby!!” to the Warriors.

I have fan blinders on but do the Warriors really have a joyless efficiency rap? I get the super team from fancy Bay Area with douchy venture capital owners who kick you in the dick and smile too much but they arent joyless

With all the mouthguards out there that’s probably what everyone calls him anyway.

You are right he won’t stay this hot but do you not see how much he creates for his teammates between turnovers and misses?

John Starks is the James Naismith of professional Airball.

Agree that would be a good strategy a la ML Carr (?) Clothslining Kent Rambis to let the Lakers know it was a dogfight. The Warriors are not rookies so mentally they can handle it but physically... its gotta stay with you to get laid out on a clean hard foul from these big guys.

“It went in, because of course it went in.”

“I mean, it’s like the unspoken rule in the NBA: If you’re up 10 or 11 with about 20 seconds left, you don’t take that shot.”

Yes, he is, Giri. I like the way he found Klay those two times late. He was hunting for Klay and it means so much to get they guy going. Little things like that make him great.

Enough with the gadgets! Put the toys away! Video replay should NOT be allowed for judgement plays. It should only be for foot placement (in/out of bounds, restricted, kicked ball, 3 pointer, etc) and all fouls like this should be called by the wonderful, subjective, and shitty human eye.

One real silver lining for me was telling my teenager “this is what happens when you smoke a lot of weed.”

Yeah I’m calling that a bad call at a critical time based on what I saw and as you read in my post the bigger issue was the warriors lack of execution and strong defense from houston.

My Japanese sports report from 6th grade is so awesome it is still on my bookshelf 4 decades later. You probably know kendo is a martial art using wooden swords and cool ninja like robes and that Saduhara Oh hit 800 home runs but did you know Joe Lefebvre played in Japan?
