Yet Again, We've Reached Peak Mets
On Tuesday, Mets co-ace Noah Syndergaard underwent an MRI exam that revealed a strained ligament in his pitching index finger. A few hours later, Steven Matz left in the fourth inning of his start with finger discomfort. After taking a 6-2 lead into the seventh inning, the Mets’ bullpen completed it...
The Yankees Got A Ridiculous Out Thanks To Their 10th Fielder Mr. Backstop
In the 10th inning of a thrilling Yankees win over the Astros, the New York battery of Aroldis Chapman and Gary Sanchez used a ricochet off the backstop to force a threatening runner off the bases. Chapman’s 100 mph fastball missed Sanchez’s glove at first, but bounced right back to the alert catche...
Steph Curry Breaks The Game
The Golden State Warriors won Game 7 on Monday night because—naturally, and as usual—they dominated the third quarter. In this case, they won the third by 18 points both because Houston missed 27 straight three-pointers and because Steph Curry took control of the game and mercilessly buried the Rock...

Embrace The Spectacle Of Stupid Fun Hockey
They have been telling us for decades—a necessarily nebulous “they,” but one that includes the NHL itself, needing to sell the present brand of hockey shaped by rule changes and coaching revolutions and swollen goalie gear, and certain fans, trying to convince themselves that we’re watching the peak...

The Rockets Missed 27 Straight Threes Because Sometimes Shit Happens<em></em>
Thirty-six point two. That’s the percentage of the 3,470 three-point shots attempted by the Houston Rockets in the regular season that went through the hoop. It’s the number that should have lifted the Rockets, a team that spent the entire season building a 65-win monument to the power and truth of ...
The Warriors Bulldoze Their Way Back To The NBA Finals
For the second game in a row, the Chris Paul-less Houston Rockets held the upper hand against the Warriors after one half of play. And for the second game in a row, Golden State took away all the Rockets had over a commanding final two quarters. Not even a raucous home crowd could save Houston from ...

Rudy Giuliani Celebrates 74th Birthday By Getting Booed By Yankees Fans
Today is Rudy Giuliani’s birthday. The former New York City mayor and lifelong buffoon and current lawyer to Donald Trump decided to put on a Yankees cap and a World Series ring and head on down to the Bronx to celebrate the big 7-4 by taking in an Astros-Yankees afternoon game. So how’d it go? ...

Kyrie Irving Missed Game 7 Due To Corrective Nasal Surgery
A mild hubbub was made by Mark Jackson out of the absence of Kyrie Irving from Boston’s bench in Game 7. Jackson was het up, complaining that Kyrie is “more important than an assistant coach” and that it would be a real problem if Kyrie was “just at home chilling or somewhere not important,” instead...
Jayson Tatum Is Already A Monster
Jayson Tatum’s best highlight from Game 7 was a savage, driving, one-handed dunk directly over LeBron James, in the fourth quarter, when the Celtics needed a spark. This was certainly one way of doing it!...
Even Gassed LeBron Is Too Much LeBron
There was a point, relatively early in the second quarter of Game 7, where Terry Rozier peeled off Kyle Korver in the short corner to double-team LeBron James in the high post. It looked like an improvisation by Rozier—I can’t imagine Brad Stevens would ever script an action that leaves one of the N...
After Just One Season Playing For The Knicks
Poor Enes Kanter. Once so youthful and sturdy, with a shock of the darkest, most luscious hair. Still just 26 years old, and now grey as a heavy November sky. Playing for the Knicks will age even the strongest of us prematurely, I guess....
It Is Time For The Cavaliers To Unleash, Uhh, Jeff Green
Tyronn Lue announced during Cleveland’s Sunday shootaround that Jeff Green will start in place of the injured Kevin Love. This was sort of a foregone conclusion—the only other options on the roster are Rodney Hood and Cedi Osman; Hood hasn’t touched the floor since Game 2, aside from a couple minute...
