SGA does some foul baiting nonsense that’s frustrating to watch but a) it’s nowhere near as bad as prime Harden, and b) the criticism is largely misplaced at him rather than NBA officials continuing to give him those calls. If the refs simply stopped making those calls, the players would adjust...

Here come the zebras trying to get OKC back in this one.

The 4-seeded Pacers had a 2-1 series lead in the finals after knocking out a 60-win Cavs win earlier in the playoffs. I’m not sure this is the year to be beating the “NBA is predictable” drum.

Comical whistle in favor of OKC already.

Last night’s game was really fun, but I’m going to have to wait to see the ratings before deciding whether or not I enjoyed it.

It probably wouldn’t matter tonight with how OKC is playing, but it’s crazy how much fouling they get away with.

Tough night to be an NBA hater.

I kind of get it if you’re building a team to win in college. His lineup gives you two elite shooters (Ray and Ben), two elite ball handlers (Kemba and Ben), and one do-everything forward (Caron) around an elite defensive center and lob threat (Emeka). If it were up to me, Rip would be in my...

Not everyone can make the Mount Rushmore - it’s a simple numbers thing. Tina is in that tier right below with the likes of Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo, etc.

Sue was an all-timer, but I don’t think she had the same dynamism or ability to impact the game as Paige. We saw Paige go from being a pure point guard as a freshman, when she led the team to the final four, to playing both forward spots last year out of necessity and still carrying the team...

Not the worst thing in the world for them to go through some adversity before the Final Four, but it goes without saying they have to play levels above this to win next weekend. That all starts with Azzi being good for more than one quarter, and they’ll need more from their role players across...

Agreed. I’m all for continuing to run the sets that won them back-to-back titles, but this team doesn’t have the personnel or the skill to run that offense all game long. It’s inexplicable to me how they haven’t figured out a two-man game with Liam/Solo or Liam/Karban that they can go to when...

Progress isn’t linear, but this team is clearly getting better. At the same time, it’s baffling that they haven’t moved KK into the starting lineup already. Her speed provides such a spark defensively, and she’s one of the only ones on the team who consistently pushes the pace, which helps them...

I’ve been on the “Reed should start” train, but Samson’s been slowly getting better week after week. The box score doesn’t tell the story of how good he was today.

It’s not a huge mystery - given his inconsistent playing time last year, he’s basically somewhere between a freshman and sophomore right now. He’s got a ways to go, but he’s flashed enough potential to know there’s a good player in there. My hope is that he puts most of his focus on defense...
