A perfect example of 76ers fans’ delusion is calling a player, who is mediocre at the absolute very best, Big Shot Bob. That nickname is taken by somebody much, much better and much, much more accomplished, buddy. Read more

Both the Times and AP named Erica Kinsman as the accuser, and here is AP’s explanation for doing so, which makes a lot of sense to me: Read more

Sure. Here is the full indictment. Quite boring.

It me. Read more

If there were...like...any pictures of Tommy Hutton in the numerous photo services we subscribe to I would’ve...like...used a picture of Tommy Hutton. Read more

Watch that video again and tell me when the whistle is blown. Read more

Nope, here’s the definition of loose ball. Read more

Yeah, that’s my best guess of what happened here, though the language of the peeping tom charge reads “visual surveillance of another person in a private place without the consent of that person in that place.” Read more

It might not appear in the statute, but it certainly appears to be the official charging language in Maryland courts. Read more

It’s not the bonus that matters, or else intentionally fouling couldn’t even be a strategy (because the whole point is to intentionally foul your opponent while they’re in the bonus to send them to the line). Read more

If only this had been predictable... Read more

I’m uncertain (and FanDuel isn’t returning my email). It either refers to that, or refers to employees seeing a customer’s FanDuel lineup, and then playing against that same person on DraftKings or another site. Read more

I think that’s a little bit of it, but mostly just that it’s not sustainable for anything more than 6 minutes at a time or so. Green and Barnes do a tremendous job guarding bigs, but it’s murder to ask them to go out and do that for 36 minutes a night or whatever. Read more

During a fourth quarter against the Raptors a couple years ago, the Warriors averaged over 2 points per possession. Read more

I didn’t get into it at all, but this game was another demonstration of how unstoppable the Warriors’ small-ball lineup is. They cut the Clippers’ lead to 1 in the fourth quarter, but with Festus Ezeli and Mo Speights both in, it ballooned back to 10 with 5:41 left. Read more

Yup. Copa América usually happens in non-World Cup non-Euro summers, when people might take a month off from watching soccer. And for those in Europe, games are pretty late at night. Read more
