Engelbert approved the sale of the Sun to Tillman Fertitta?! After blocking two almost identical offers to keep them in New England (one in Hartford?) That stinks.

Bball Paul is the Zadig of the NBA.

omg that news about Brandon Clarke is gutting.

Gotta be Such Great Heights. And Chicago for the slightly more hipster contingent (or I Am Trying to Break Your Heart).

If Harden is going to do this then it is what it is. Won't last.

The pistons are so wholesome.

Backstreet's Back just played in this establishment and I would just like to object to the idea this song is a "classic". It's insane I'm more likely to hear this in public than, say, Wannabe.

He was calling for invading Canada 3 weeks ago.

WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS MAZULLA DOING???

THE SIXERS WON???

The Nuggets using assets to dump Cam Johnson so as to sign Peyton Watson would be incredibly foolish, my god.

Rockets join Nuggets as this year's sad trombone team in the West.

Pretty sure the Cavs win the series, but Harden and Mitchell on the floor is a lot of the same thing. Harden can't get by a good defender anymore and there was limited (not zero) bailing him out with calls.

What a comeback for the Pistons, wow.

This is just so embarrassing.

Deandre Jordan’s video about winning teammate of the year is so good, he has a future in Doing Bits whenever he’s done being a professional teammate

The Nuggets should and will let Bruce Brown walk, and then pray to the flying spaghetti monster that nobody offers THJ above the minimum. I don't see a path to them keeping Watson and they are locked into the same starting 5 unless they salary dump Cam, which they shouldn't.

I watched a lot of Denver this year and the team really just did not have it together at any point. Maybe without the injuries they could have found something that worked but in the end they were an offense-oriented team that couldn't score under pressure.

Well, this is probably it for the Jokic Era.

It's lost in the mists of time but the real Democratic screw up of the past 25 years is not ramming Harriet Miers through the Senate the instant Bush nominated her and before the rest of the Republicans caught on to who she was.

My only American politics opinion right now besides the modern right being a cancer on society is that Platner looks terrible but people should stop rending their garments about him, he will still be miles better than who he is replacing.

Man, Adam Silver sucks. The NBA rules, on court and off, just keep getting more complex without addressing any of the league's actual problems.

Denver looks much better against this lottery version of the Wolves, maybe they can use this to get their mojo back.

Denver should play this bench lineup with anybody else in for Bruce, and then play Bruce exclusively with Jokic.

If I see a WORD against Rudy after this 40 point Nuggets win...

Nuggets are going to blow the Wolves out of the water here.

The Wolves are starting Mike Conley, who they dumped earlier this year. There is no excuse, Nuggets.

Refs are off the hook but every call on Stew is correct.

Um ... blood rule???

Detroit's defense has tightened but they can't score. They were obviously a cute story but they should not be this cute.

Detroit is the sort of team that needs to be elite at rebounding and just isn't.

lol at the idea there was no foul on the last possession.

It's extremely funny that the only old-guard star in the NBA who is not washed in this playoffs is Bron.

Happy for the Raptors but still bummed about Jokic disgracing himself at the end of last night's game.

Jokic has gotten ruined by Gobert, but let's not forget that in the previous game Adelman tried to close with Bruce Brown -- who would not have a contract except with Denver and cute-story Spencer Jones -- because Braun and Cam are essentially unplayable.

Watched a lot of Ayo and I'm not surprised.

Cam Johnson backcourt turnover basically the story of the Nuggets this post season.

The Wolves are going to flatline in Round 2 but Rudy's victory over Jokic is hilarious, just total domination.

There is zero excuse for the Nuggets here.

A hopeless task but book has not been good enough.

That was an awful Jokic game but the Nuggets role player situation is so bad they were closing by choice with Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown.

Ant has been out with foul trouble basically the whole quarter, the Wolves can score, and the Nuggets have made up not an inch of ground.

Rudy has Jokic in hell my god.

Upsetapalooza

That Gordon news is crushing for the Nuggets, at this point he might never get really right again.

So much for Celtics in 4, but they are still coming out of the east.

Detroit's defense has been terrible -- they don't anticipate the plays and are constantly late. They can't win like that.

Celtics are coming out of the east.

Refs have been rewarding contact-seeking all game, now it's backfiring on Randle.
