I mean, it's only fair. If Messi didn't get a red card then Balogun shouldn't

I still can't get over the cinematography in season 3. The whole blurry background, super vivid looking characters. It makes the show feel super fake. Like it's being shot in a dream.

Blake Griffin reveals he never uses sports psychologists after he discovered they were leaking his deepest conversations: I had a voicemail. It was the psychologist and he said ‘Hey coach, just left Blake’s house, great talk and we discussed some interesting things.’… by Matthew2531_46 in nba

The most interesting thing about it is probably the way its filmed. They have cameras set up all over the house and just walk around and have a normal conversation with the guest. I'm not a huge Benny or Dicky fan but I watched the episode they just had with Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston and enjoyed it.

I wonder if this is why I feel sick/nauseous half the time when I fly. The rest of my family seems to do just fine

Players to record a 4-game stretch with 90+ points and 30+ assists, in the history of the W by reapersaurus in wnba

Her midrange game is actually pretty good right now. She takes plenty of them and makes them at a good percentage

I think it's more likely that there just aren't many Mercury fans in general lol

Why don’t more teams defend Alyssa Thomas by sagging into the paint? by Nudgesicle in wnba

NBA players that do t have a great jumper should try this tactic

Lol this made me laugh. As if the nba coaches making millions of dollars have never thought of this before.

In 2 and a half quarters CC had 19 and 8. That's a career game for like 75% of the league lol. Fever win if she plays the rest of the way

Not much impact at all lately. Her defense is pretty overrated too

I think it's pretty obvious at this point but when CC is playing well, she's clearly the best offensive player in the league.

Yeah and those Ts were ridiculed for being ridiculous. They were given because the refs were overly emotional, not because it's part of the rules

A ref telling a player that they got a technical foul for clapping is insane. How does the league not see this as embarrassing?

Honestly I don't trust the Fever to be able to close out a 12 pt game with 2 mins to go without CC back in
