I'm enjoying those in the media trying to convince us that OKC doesn't rely heavily on an imbalanced whistle. We should really believe them instead of our lying eyes.

Still think the Nuggets are somehow one loss away from anyone with an NBA podcast reconsidering the actual quality of their team and season.

This is why it was so important to win game three. Winning this one was going to be tough with the shorter turnaround. They all look gassed. #lakers

A lot of people were taking it as fact that Houston had five of the six best players in this series. I gotta know which 5 are better than Marcus Smart.

People looking at Bam’s achievement askew is the implied cost of the shenanigans it took to achieve it. It also helps explain how a guy like Bam could do it.

Congrats America. You earned this.

KAT is a sleeper agent for USA. Cost us the game. #nbaallstar

Can’t find the sign to tap, but it bears repeating that, minus the one you’re on, every big social media site in the US is run by a defense contractor or intelligence partner.

posting is harmless provided you don't take it seriously- the second you start believing you're doing Important Work, that's when the madness takes hold

I don’t know how, but the Mavs are gonna have to find a way to fire Nico again.

I get how the content game works, but I promise you that it's not worth getting upset that coaches decided that naming LeBron James as an all-star when he's averaging 22, 6, and 6. This is fine.

Our dumbest annual post is now available.

John Guesses the Premises of the 2026 Best Picture Oscar Nominees Andy: Welcome everyone to this year's edition of "John Guesses the Premises of the 2026 Best Picture Oscar Nominees", a game that's exactly what it says on the tin. For those that don't know, John does not follow movie news at all…

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

Every time some mean spirited conservative dies they’re like, "Please show some respect for this piece of shit who hated you"

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

A thing that was driving me nuts in all the "are the Thunder one of the greatest teams ever?" talk early in the season was how no one wanted to discuss how easy their schedule had been at that point.

Great point. It's hard to enjoy Thunder games as a neutral observer because their dominance sucks out any drama from it. I bet it's great fun if you're an OKC fan though.

The thing about retirement tours in the NBA is that they aren't promised. If you want to decide when it's over, you need to make that decision early.

Both came out on the same day. What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

The best time to fire Nico Harrison was, of course, the day he suggested trading Luka Doncic. The next best day was every subsequent day after that.

Trying to explain to my dog that it is NOT dinner time, because someone randomly decided to change the artificial construct of time. She is not buying it.

It may be cowardly to IBB Ohtani 4 times, but this game would already be over if they had started walking him earlier.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

it is ok not to post folks

Watching Hamilton at the end of the American experiment is a different experience.

"All Kawhi had to do was promote Aspiration once and he'd be in the clear" misses the point: he didn't do any promotion for them because they were trying to avoid anyone noticing that he was being paid under the table. Do you also think pre-NIL athletes should have cut ads with car dealerships?

Remember these guys? These were some guys.

I talk about one every week for about 8 months a year.

Debaser by the Pixies. And yes of course the pun is intended.

The very concept of a phone book, delivering everyone's phone number and address to every house in the city, blows my kids' minds. For very good reason.

I appreciate that the new Jurassic World series shares its predecessor's inability to understand money. ScarJo's team of mercenaries initially agrees to go to Dino Island for NBA backup center money.

If you're not yet sure how to celebrate Canada Day tomorrow, you could do worse than sitting out on a deck and hitting shuffle on this playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/2pB...

List is dominated by my pre-parenting years.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. (“god mode” no franchises or films with any sequels)

the thing about not liking sports is that you're wrong

This could legitimately make it easier for Lu Dort to make the all-star game than Jalen Williams, depending on the format. That seems less than ideal.

I feel like Bluesky might be overestimating how often they used em dashes when they were teenagers.

Shout out to everyone who spent #Survivor48 bitching about Kyle never making a move that... he never had to make.

Always the worst when my wife’s genuine concern and empathy forces me to reconcile with the fact that sports visibly alters my mood.

I already see this narrative taking shape and it will drive me nuts. The #Clippers were NOT milliseconds away from going up 3-1. They were milliseconds away from going to OT. Just like Joel Embiid was not four bounces away from the Conference Finals. Scores matter.

It’s one of my favourite times on the #NBA calendar: when the people who spent the season lecturing everyone about the greatness of James Harden get reeeeeeeeeally quiet.

Like we predicted Lakers (season over) in 5.

"If you or any other Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere." Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation issues a scathing rebuke of Danielle Smith's talks on a national unity crisis.

Normally it's annoying when Americans frame Canadians news as a off branch of America but... this is exactly what happened. This was a repudiation of Trump in Canada. None of the other things this election was going to be about ended up mattering.

Maybe there was a reason why we didn't used to allow 10 seeds into the playoffs.

So great that we had a mini-tournament prior to the playoffs that helped make this happen.
