LeBron James looked exhausted. Jordan Clarkson was tasked with running the offense on far too many possessions. The Celtics’ rotation of hyped-up young dudes absolutely hounded the Cavs to death on defense. Watching the best player in the world trying to keep his team from going down 3-2 in the Eastern Conference…

The NFL made no effort to disguise the bait and switch at the root of its national anthem policy, which was approved Wednesday by a near-unanimous vote of owners (49ers owner Jed York abstained). Just read commissioner Roger Goodell’s statement:
Lenny Dykstra has long since ceased to be a former baseball player with the Mets and Phillies. Now he’s just a semi-famous man who is occasionally in the news for something. Usually it’s not great.
