Chris Sale's Double-Digit Strikeout Streak Is Over
Tonight, for the first time in six weeks, Chris Sale did not appear to be a hyper-effective strikeout-generating android. Instead, he simply seemed like your ordinarily effective strikeout-generating cyborg. That’s all to say that after eight straight games of 10 strikeouts or more, he finally falte...

Kyrie Irving Put The Celtics In The Toilet
The Boston Celtics got real feisty tonight in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals and went on a decent little run at the start of the game. Despite not having Isaiah Thomas for a second straight game, Boston defied its true home (the trash can) and won the first quarter by 10 points. They saddle...

The Boston Celtics Have A Moral Obligation To Get The Fuck Out
The conference finals have been crud.

In the East, meanwhile, what should have been a deliciously ...

The NBA's Push For Parity Backfired With These Garbage Playoffs
The NBA playoffs, in theory if not always in practice, is the best postseason system in all of sports.

The Celtics Won The Game
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a game I definitely watched, was one for the ages.
