Not that there's anything wrong with that.

This is not for the IT post, but the headline before it.


What a freaking baby. And who writes a headline 3 months in advance saying you expect ANYONE to play besides the two teams? You have no idea who will be on either team or who might be injured. Stop trying to be a baby here.

I am bothered by 'writers' who can't write. It seems with the dwindling staff and pay of newspapers, more and more real writers are not at local papers anymore.

I thought the headline was clever and funny. It was a dig without being too overtly mean. I want more of that in the NBA, more rivalry and friendly jabs like that. Why should their paper treat Lebron with kid gloves after he leaves?

Right. Because David Griffin has tons of NBA owners trying to knock down his front door to run their teams.

You don't treat him with kid gloves and you don't throw jabs. You report. You are a reporter.

Just back to Griffin. I'd pass. Maybe he's not looking for a FO job and likes being an analyst, but there have been plenty of good jobs available that he doesn't seem to have been interviewed for. He interviewed for the Knicks job, but that was a courtesy as he was never in true consideration.

Personally I think he's overrated and wouldn't want him back.

In 2018, reporter and clickbaiter are synonymous.

Im counting the Phoenix Mercury Playoff run as "around the league". Heck of a game going on tonight. Its nice having someone from the Arizona area do something in the postseason.
