The worst thing about hockey is the fans that have to poo poo on other sports to make you like it for some reason (the LIKE MY SPORT!!! people on twitter).There are plenty of reasons for people to like hockey. You don't need to poo poo on basketball to convince them.

But how else will people know that they are in fact the toughest?

It's the right decision. Prospects of taking 4 of 5 from Warriors are infinitesimally small anyway. Punt and start planning for next year.

He didn't go back to Turkey, he was traveling from Jakarta to Bucharest but his passport was canceled by the Turkish government, so they're not letting him in Romania and may deport him back to Turkey.

Apropos of nothing, I was trying to remember who Portland's pgs were between Brandon Roy and Damian Lillard, and found some very strange rosters

Does anyone remember Jamal Crawford's single season as a trailblazer?

Or Roy's last season, when Andre Miller took over as starting pg
