Yeah, city population is a very bad metric for trying to determine a market size, because of course fans come to games from the suburbs. More important is that TV market size you cited, and the fact that the San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area is just 25th biggest in the country. Read more

I checked, and this is the first time Deadspin has ever tagged him in a post, which is a very, very good sign. Read more

This was on Sunday night. I was working off the clock! Read more

This is a good and completely valid question. As a general principle, we believe in publishing as much as possible—including our investigative materials—and responding to our readers. We almost always include docs like police reports in our stories, detail our interactions with PR officials (sometimes to humorous… Read more

No, zone is a terrible idea. Besides the fact that they just don’t work in the NBA more generally, zones shut down the lane but concede a lot of three-pointers (which is why specialists like Michael Redd have found themselves on Olympics rosters in the past). Doing that against Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Rush, Iguodala,… Read more

Okay, I’ve narrowed this down some. The top distraction (and I believe those same women are in the second one) is the work of the Houston Rockets mascot. Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and here is the group posing together on Facebook:

The Pelicans made all three free throws above, and went 9-13 on the night, below their overall free throw percentage of 78 on the season. Read more

I kind of do too. What I was most impressed with by their game today is that it was at home. In the previous matches where they have pressed the best, they’ve come away from home, when the other teams were attacking and a counter-press style is more effective. But considering that Liverpool have barely had any chance… Read more

As disgraced former Deadspin blogger Rohan Nadkarni annoyingly points out on Twitter, I’ve undersold the chances that somebody (specifically: the 76ers) claims Udrih on waivers. Read more

Christ this is the dumbest comments section I’ve seen in a long time. We have multiple angles of Moreno clearly not getting a lick of the ball, and a lot of Aguero’s leg, and there are numerous people saying “he got the ball!” Read more

This is a terrible take. Nobody that has any sort of power, influence, or stature in the league or the media says that Michael Jordan would only be a rotation player or that the 76ers would go 82-0 on the 80s, and people like Oscar Robertson are objectively wrong and dumb here. This isn’t anybody being reflexively… Read more

Yeah, there are a couple that don’t look 28 feet. That’s how Basketball-Reference and NBA.com/stats categorizes them, however. Read more
