If they can control the pace, they have a shot. They might be the team most discipline left. They have remade themselves into an effective half court team rather than rely on their guards speed to run everyone.  Read more

Draymond is at 4 technicals, right? I guess Durant and Boogie could still be basically hobbled and he could earn a 1 game suspension?

Or like, some sort of magical meteor could pass over the city of Portland and bless all the Blazers with magical powers for a week. Read more

I’d watched it 399 times without noticing the buzzer turned OFF before the ball went in. Read more

Well, I’m really glad it happened. Not just because Toronto sports has just been a stink-filled orgy of painful losses the last decade or how much a miss would have mirrored Vince’s miss against the Sixers 20 years ago. Read more

It is the same as turning toward second base after you cross first base playing baseball. In youth hockey, before the 2nd period starts, one of… Read more

Absolutely nailed it with the line changing analogy; it’s the first thing I thought of during the replay at the time it happened. There’s no difference between the two scenarios. Read more

I pine for a few weeks ago when some people suggested all those first-round upsets were “bad for the NHL.” Just had to wait for a half-dozen byzantine rule fuckups in elimination games to remind us again that this league will step on its own dick every time. Read more
