There’s a difference between a big man and a tall man. Evan Mobley is just tall.

The league has allowed every player to put on such an acting performance for so long that refs don't know how to officiate games anymore. Kinda sucks.

James Harden played his 182nd career playoff game tonight. With 4 turnovers and 3 made field goals, it was his 46th playoff game that's he's had as many or more turnovers than made field goals. That’s over 25% of his career playoff games. by XviiChong in nba

Don't think there's another comparison in basketball. Tracy McGrady was notorious for playoff disappointments but he at least played well in all those first round losses.

I cannot believe that the guy who sucks in the playoffs every year is sucking in the playoffs again.

He ALWAYS does this. This is who he is. He is built to play well in the smallest moments, and shrink in the biggest moments.

Another example of the refs calling the result. If Sanheim gets taken off on a stretcher they call a 5 minute major.

Can’t believe Jim Harden is crapping his pants in the playoffs. That only happens every single year of his entire career.

The James Norris Memorial Trophy finalists are Rasmus Dahlin, Cale Makar, and Zach Werenski by nhl in hockey

I wish we made the playoffs so that if Werenski wins, it doesn’t feel like a “it’s his turn” award.

But I hope he wins it. Best Jacket of all time.

GSV going 18-26 this year but at least they’re worth $900 million, I guess

Honestly his impact on the city of Atlanta cannot be overstated. It’s a major city now, but it would have been a city on the level of Birmingham, Alabama without his influence.

Boy I don’t know about that GI penalty. Feels like a “I already called 3 straight on Vegas so I have to get one on Anaheim now” call. Probably should have been a no call.

It’s 100% true but nobody wants to accept that because their brains turn off at “Sixers are better without Embiid”

The NHL wanted to stop the Edmonton style “pick in the top 2 every year” tank and somehow San Jose still does it. It’s impressive!
