The Warriors Deserve Your Awe
I won’t argue that the first two games of these NBA Finals were great television, or that last night’s Game 3, which was thrilling and spectacularly played and felt like a Game 7 from the perspective of someone rooting for the Cavs, did a whole lot to salvage this series. The Warriors are now up 3-0...

The Cavs Were Scared Enough Of Steph Curry That They Let Kevin Durant Destroy Them
The Cavs, who have to play perfect basketball to beat the Warriors, did not play perfect basketball last night in Game 1, so they did not beat the Warriors.

No Mistakes Allowed
Close one eye and squint with the other, and last night’s Game 1 box score starts to look like a positive one for the Cavaliers: The Warriors only had two players score in double figures; Klay Thompson and Draymond Green combined to shoot 6-of-28; LeBron James and Kyrie Irving did their thing. Open ...
I'm Just Here For The Rihanna-Kevin Durant Feud
After waiting roughly 50 weeks for basketball that was both close and meaningful...we did not get that. We got destruction, a 113-91 Warriors win led by Kevin Durant’s 38-8-8. What we did get was the start of a pretty great athlete-celebrity beef, and neither is going to fold as easily as the Cavali...
Warriors Look Disgustingly Unstoppable In Game 1 Blowout Victory
For the better part of a quarter, the Cavaliers and Warriors gave us the gloriously competitive game these playoffs have so been lacking.

Kevin Love Threw A Perfect Touchdown Pass
Hi, did you watch Game 3? We all definitely did. I’m sure you did too. So there’s no need for you to watch these replays of Kevin Love’s full-court outlet pass to LeBron James, which you are totally not seeing for the first time.

Last year, Kevin Kiermaier hit .246 with 12 homers—nothing stellar—but he won a Gold Glove for his second consecutive season and anchored the Tampa Bay Rays’ outfield defense. He has quite a hole to dig himself out of if he wants to repeat for 2017....
