It's signicicantly cheaper vs interest and you still get to your destination in time? Read more

Literally nobody since 1984 (when this started being tracked on BasketballReference, I think physical scorecards have Wilt at something like 42-62 in Hershey but don’t know of any other games that would come close) has put up 50 shots before, including Kobe, who on five other occasions put up 60 or more. This is… Read more

My man, this is a sports blog known for its sometimes-cynical analysis of sports. You can’t be mad when you come here to be upset when you find that they’ve blogged some (not really that cynical!) content about the first or second biggest sports story of the night. Read more

I mean, there’s a solid three Sacramento Kings that would be recognized on any given street in America, plus a fourth that can live off the cachet of being the best player in the NBA’s brother alone. That’s more than any single Sixer can say, unless the given street has some Clippers fans who look back fondly on Elton… Read more

True as this may be, recent #1 picks also include Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Davis. There’s franchise-changing potential in every draft (even the 2013 draft, which looked terrible at the time, produced a now-point guard the size of a small house), and openly tanking to grab it isn’t the worst idea. Hinkie just… Read more

How absurd is it that John Calipari’s Kentucky teams have not only put out three top five centers (probably the top three centers in the league by 2018!) already but also contributed two very young elite defensive centers in Noel and Cauley-Stein that could develop into good offensive bigs too?

Because the Final Four means you won something (a bracket corner, in this case). The real issue is teams that have never gone that far with banners celebrating their deepest run. Read more

Hey, 30 wins is the most the club’s had in a decade, shout out to 30 wins Read more

...Or a lanky, ungainly 6'9'’ 18 year old spent three years in an NBA weight room in a time span in which he also grew two inches Read more

Barry, how long have you been waiting to find an excuse to tell people you read Infinite Jest? Read more

The concern is fixed cost. You have to charge to pay for the machine (or whatever the supplier has you paying in the agreement), and you have to amortize that cost through sales of drinks. Stealing soda takes little to no money out of anyone’s pocket, but it also takes away an opportunity to pay for the machine and… Read more

As neutral observers, does UConn women’s basketball dominance ruin the sport or make it more fun? Personally, 59 point spreads are the main reason I’m watching the women’s tournament this year, but apparently I’m an outlier. Read more

Iowa only has three public schools and all three are in the NCAA tournament round-of-62 for the second straight year. Read more

True, but if there was a team with a Kyle Korver type that just sort of sits in the corner and allows movement to happen around him I'm sure the two of them could go on a little 18-6 run before Perry Ellis notices and starts dunking all over some poor sap from Florida Gulf Coast Read more

The Spurs are the most complete team I’ve seen in my lifetime. The fact that it might not be enough is kind of terrifying. Read more

Lunardi is low on the PAC-12 in general, though. Seems like he’s the only one that doesn’t think all that much of Cal as well. Read more

And I’m still up on the west coast! What a world it is. Read more

Souplantation, but bad Read more

They won one game. By that metric, the Mavs have solved the Warriors and could stand to take them down in a best-of-seven. The Spurs are still a team that’s undefeated at home and still has single-digit losses in March. This is a team talked about as historically great if they weren’t sharing a conference with a team… Read more

I mean, basically, that’s what Dwight Howard is now and he seems like he’ll get another max deal this offseason. Read more
