having drake on commentary WAS incredibly annoying b/c it was putting an amateur commentator on national tv of a national basketball association game between two very skilled teams and he also couldnt even stay on basketball-related topics most of the time anyway regardless of your thoughts on whether his comments were sexist or not

It's called "hope" and it means you can feel pain again when it gets taken away from you.

But then again feeling pain means you felt good enough to feel it in the first place.

You're getting poo poo because of how clumsily you tried to bridge the gap between "dweebily adhering to patriarchal norms that reduce women to their physical attractiveness" and "literally bragging about sexual assault."

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Oh yeah I gotta mention that NBA League Pass Audio is pretty lovely. The android app sucks and forces an ad anytime you start up an audio stream, it requires focus to play the audio so you can't check twitter or something or even lock your phone, and it's just super choppy whereas other audio streaming I get is smooth.

I also don't think the NBA website is able to know I bought LP Audio because every time I try to listen to a game on it, it takes me to the buy page.

It shouldn't be this hard :(

It used to be a wonderful product, but it's so loving awful this year. Tying the audio player to the video player was a loving terrible idea. If you drag it to the video player though the audio starts to work, and it lets you choose which stream you wish to listen to. Unless it's a national game and then because it's tied to the video player the dumbasses didn't leave an option in to choose the audio stream of the visiting team.

And now it's a good ten minutes behind the televised game. Which is crazy because that's already on a three minute delay.

Drake's comments on Doris during the broadcast made me cringe. He clearly thinks that praising her for her beauty and playing up the crush angle is honoring her, but it minimizes how good she is at her actual job and was really only a short hop away from the Tr*mp Access Hollywood tape. I realize that I'm taking Drake's off-the-cuff lighthearted statements too seriously but it was almost like he was giving her backhanded compliments while pretending to love her.

A debate ending in a resounding "lol no," even factoring in Chandler's gold medal and Miller taking Utah to a championship game.

Andre Miller is one of seven guys to have 8,500+ assists and 1,500+ steals. Along with:

John Stockton
Magic Johnson
Gary Payton
Jason Kidd
Mark Jackson
Isiah Thomas

It's highly unlikely that the 2011 Mavericks win the title and defeat evil LBJ without JET and Chandler.

No one picked CP3 as WS leader because he didn't publicize that he got LASIK this summer.

I thought you were joking but he did do it. All elite NBA players should probably undergo the knife if they haven't. They can afford it.

I know LBJ did it sometime back. If he didn't have the surgery who knows where he'd be.

Somebody has to get the blame for all NBA technologies going down the toilet. NBA.com in 1996 was LIGHT-YEARS ahead of this. Maybe Adam Silver should be fired into the sun.
