I hope that because these teams have depth that Houston doesn’t have and some great starters that the Clippers don’t have that the Warriors won’t absolutely blow past them. The Warriors’ bench is not very good, less so if Iggy is starting. Kerr can obviously stagger those five guys in a lot of ways but both the Read more

I don’t know if this is entirely fair, but it’s almost certainly correct. How would the Warriors stop Jokic? With Draymond? As resurgent as he has been, I don’t think so. For the Blazers, I don’t think the Warriors have any glue guy as good as Gary Harris has been on Lillard, so that match-up would turn in to a Read more

Not even blood eyes and fingers that are in a different time zone from their fellows keep these dudes off the court. All my hopes for minor injuries are meaningless. Read more

The game is uglier than one of Ratto’s sweaters.

forget the rabona, that the two starters are Wainwright and Sanchez is some kind of throwback Obama-era pitching matchup. First term, even! Read more

Now playing

I’v been commenting on this site for an embarrassingly long time and am always sad to see a long-timer go. And though Marchman’s music taste is fairly copacetic with mine, this piece of utter trash is for you Tim. You’re the finest kind. 

I sat there after the game rewinding this play, at least a dozen times, thinking to myself, “Nah, he slipped. He definitely slipped.” Read more

The title’s clear, the GIF is clear, the video is clear, yet I’m still not sure this isn’t another James Harden flop. Read more

Coming into today, Chris Davis has an OPS of 1.073 in the ten games since he snapped his record streak of futility.  Baseball is weird, man.

My Twins, who are anything but a lumber company, have broken all kinds of team dinger records in the month of April. I wonder if having all six of their games against the Orioles this season in that month. Read more

We need more of Giannis dunking and less of Giannis getting dunked on, and buddy, we need it now Read more

Chris, it is my civic duty to share this with all my friends who have annoyingly and smugly camped out for Endgame tickets to remind them that their little universe of entertainment is a sham. Read more

I would like to see Giannis dunk the basketball over a helpless, isolated, half jumping kyrie Irving, with such force that there is an ensuing sonic boom, and then scream in his face. Read more

If Lou Williams can do this to the Dubs, Harden is going to destroy them, if they get there.  Warriors can’t play defense anymore. Read more

I used to wonder if Doc Rivers was a good coach, or just a lucky one. After today, I get it. He’s top 3 in the NBA and players love him for a reason. Read more

What a touching tweet from Vlad to his son. Really puts into perspective how little my own worthless progeny have accomplished in their lives. I mean, sure, they’re 7 and 9, but still... Read more

I think rehab assignments (of limited length) do not need to be approved. He probably could file (and win) a grievance about being placed on the IL, but honestly it would be face saving for everyone. They probably couldn’t just make something up without getting MLB angry with them, but even a blister might be enough Read more
