A Hobbled Ben Bishop Is Good Enough
You could make the argument and not be laughed out of the room that Ben Bishop at 100 percent is not preferable to Andrei Vasilevskiy, let alone Ben Bishop with whatever knee/groin/mysterious lower body ailment had him looking like an old man every time he struggled to regain his skates or go to his...

The Cavaliers' Defense Deserves All The Love
If you had traveled back in time to Sunday morning and shown me a snapshot of the Game 2 box score as it stood with three minutes left to play in the fourth quarter, I would have assumed that something cataclysmic was in store—that Steph Curry was going to lose his right hand right before tip-off, o...
LeBron James Played The Best Kind Of Hero Ball
I’m still not entirely sure what we saw last night, only that I loved it. This was not a good game by any means—it was sloppy and disjointed and featured as many bad misses as missed calls—but it was the most single most viscerally entertaining game since at least Game 7 of Clippers-Spurs. And it fe...
LeBron's Cavs Outlast Warriors In Overtime For Improbable Game 2 Win
The end of regulation looked familiar. Once again the Cavs found themselves with a potential game-winning shot, having once again blown a late-game lead, and once again LeBron missed, sending Cleveland into overtime looking old and broken and just short. This time, though, the Cavs absorbed the Warr...

IT'S REALLY TRUE, AMERICA WON FIFA, WE ARE THE BEST!
Right now I couldn’t care less if this was some pointless post-season friendly (and it really wasn’t, both on the USMNT’s end, who want to prove themselves against the world’s best, and for the Netherlands, who wanted to use this as a warmup for next week’s crucial Euro 2016 qualifier), and sure, th...
Fuck Yeah Andre Iguodala Deserves All This Shine
Watching Andre Iguodala bust his ass in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, scrambling around screens and harrying LeBron post-ups, totally thriving within the confines of his game, was one of the happiest and unlikeliest things to happen this postseason. Andre, who’s been laboring on the outskirts of NBA not...
When The Warriors Play Small They're Unstoppable
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, neither the Warriors nor Cavaliers were able to perform for more than a couple of minutes at a time.
