Yeah, that was a bummer. I liked Zarko. To be fair, though, if you're really meant to be a contributing NBA player, how can you let one hard hit destroy your entire career? I know it injured him, but it wasn't the kind of physical injury a guy should be unable to come back from.

The other day a large (~6'4" ish) African American dude came into my office hours at Stanford. He wanted to ask me about some computer science stuff he and some friends are interested in. Told me his name is Anthony Goods and he used to play for Stanford's basketball team. You guys remember him...

I liked this article previewing the Finals.

They can trade for him, don't doubt it. ... (snip) Nobody can make a better offer without commiting franchise suicide, unless you consider giving up parts of a core of the future, like say a Bradley Beal. You're right that they can make a good offer in terms of picks and cheap young pieces. Not a t...

I hear Mark Cuban has his team of cartoonists working overtime to draw up a 147-page graphic novel starring Kevin Love and Dirk as we speak.

Oh, one more thing I meant to say about GoT and the trial by combat. I haven't read the books, but it seemed to me that both combatants were going to both end up dead. The Mountain obviously killed Oberyn, but then he himself collapsed to the ground. He seemed to have been wounded but not killed, bu...

Why would he want to play there? They have almost no talent and not a particularly bright future. I also don't really see how they could possibly trade to get him. What assets do they have? I guess they have some high picks, but do they have anything to package with them? Rondo? (Wolves don't want o...

I think I've said this a hundred times, but I would love to see the Heat lose this one and the Spurs win. I just don't want Lebron to win 5-6 titles and end up getting compared to MJ. And I think Duncan and Pop and the Spurs gang deserve that 5th title for working so hard and for the way they play. ...

BTW, how much of a rip-off of Inigo Montoya was Prince Oberyn in the end? "Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" "You raped her. You murdered her. Say her name!" etc. The scene and the character as a whole were delightful, but I thought it was ba...

(SPOILERS) My girlfriend was totally disturbed. She couldn't fall asleep after we watched that. It was SO graphic, LOL. Most shocking thing they have ever shown, and that's saying a lot. Wow. This has to be the best season of GoT ever, doesn't it? Others have had more chess-piece movement and larger...

Aaaaaaack!

Looking forward to game of thrones tonight. Is this week's episode the finale?

I just made a post in the ECF thread saying that I thought personnel, not coaching, was the Pacers' problem. I think the opposite here. Scott Brooks needs to kick these guys' asses a little more. Particularly Westbrook, who is an amazing talent but has not had anybody show him how to really harness ...

To me it's really simple. You aren't going to win an NBA title if you are not good at shooting, passing, and defense. These are simple basketball skills. The Pacers are a pretty good defensive team, but they don't shoot all that well, and they don't have a lot of high-assist passers on the team, eit...

I want the Spurs to take this one and the title, too. They got the title torn away from them last time but I feel like their team is even better this year and they're hungry. Plus I hate the Heat.

Side note: Lance Stephenson is really getting on my nerves. He's needling Lebron over and over, poking him in the face, stepping onto him, pushing and shoving him, etc. It's totally unprofessional and unsportsmanlike. He's a free agent this offseason. If I were a team, there's no way I would risk bi...

Heat really taking care of business. The halftime score isn't even close. Pacers look like they just want to go home.

Love that image. "Sir, um, we were asking about your handwriting?" LOL.

Who you guys got tonight? I think the Heat will take care of business and send the Pacers home.

I haven't been paying attention to who the refs are our how many fts each team is shooting. Is it home cooking? Or does the home crowd matter that much?
