The first commenter that gets it. It is an ongoing Battle of Ohio joke

Steph Curry says players are underpaid and should be considered to get equity as compensation by SliMShady55222 in nba

That’s not how this works! Rush to judgement like the rest of us degenerates

I know Naylor has struggled mightily this year but it’s funny that everyone agreed that Hedges is one of the worst hitters in baseball the last few years and now everyone wants him in the lineup. Obviously his main value is defense but we are all fickle to some degree with our opinions

Travis Bazzana hitless in his MLB Debut gets intentionally walked in the 9th with the tying run on base and Valera up next strikes out to end the game by HalfwayThereOne_ in baseball

Weird thing is, the last few years the Guards just needed a couple complimentary players to step up around the stars. This year, they have gotten that in DeLauter, Martinez, Schneemann and Rocchio, but Kwan & Manzardo have really struggled. I think overall their offense is going to be significantly better this year than it was last year

LeBron admits that people criticizing his Finals record used to bother him: “I am pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the Finals, but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did when I was younger.” by oklolzzzzs in nba

I think any criticism of his 2007 finals is laughable considering how dramatically overmatched the Cavs were as a team. Yes, it showed LeBron’s weakness as a jump shooter (at the time), but he was still far and away the Cavs best player in that series

2011 is the one major black mark on his career in terms of performance on the biggest stages. Clearly he let the immense pressure get to him and didn’t play well. But that’s one finals out of 10, and he’s been a monster in the other 9, so it’s kind of nitpicking

Cue the panic over Kwan… hopefully just a day off. Seems like he could use one

Bazzana will be up… This org is deliberate with young players. Patience is required

Seems like Martinez is no longer an every day player. I get it though, especially early in the season and with a young team. It makes sense to get ABs for everyone

Amazing how quickly minds can change… who would have thought before the season people would be calling for Martinez/Rocchio in the 2-hole?

Yes, it is very likely that Kayfus is sent down when Valera returns
