    Thank you Newcastle! Now Spurs just need to beat an already relegated Norwich to get 4th.

    Considering they lost 2 of their 3 home games in the series, I’m not sure them not having home court mattered all that much. maybe this is nothing, but it seems like it matters a lot in game 7. i can't imagine the bucks getting blown out like that at home in a game 7. Maybe they don’t get blown out but Boston was pretty clearly the better (mainly due to health) team in the series. Do they lose by 28 at home in Game 7? Probably not. But they could have lost by 13 like they did in Game 6. The Bucks might have lost that series with Middleton too but they probably would have been favored to win regardless of where Game 7 was played.

    When it comes to the 2022 Cubs, that’s a very low bar.

    What do we need Rizzo for when we have Frank Schwindel aka Nelson Cruz 2.0. I mean sure, he’s not slugging .613 like last year but he’s still at .543. That’s respectable. Oh wait, that’s his OPS this year.

    Memphis is obliterating Golden State tonight. They’re up 52 after 3 quarters. The difference is Memphis has 14 more offensive rebounds than Golden State and has only 4 turnovers to 20 for the Warriors.

    That’s a hell of a fake rally.

    I meant more from the National media side. Anytime one of these programs that’s been good in the past but has been struggling starts well, there’s the “Are they back?” conversations. I know it’s hasn’t been but it seems like it happens almost every year with Texas. I know it’s happened with Miami also in the past.

    Texas 83-67 Nebraska 81-68 That’s hilarious. The main difference is a wider range of results for Nebraska. They’ve won 10 games twice and 9 games four times in that span but also had a 3 win season and two 4 win seasons (I’m excluding 2020’s 3-5 record). Texas had only 1 10 win season and 1 9 win season but won at least 5 games every year. It’s too bad they don’t have a decent game this year before they play Bama. Would have been funny for them to have a good 1st win to get people talking about them being back only for them to get tricked by Bama.

    22 runs total in the last 12 games since scoring 21 in one game.

    This is going to hurt when Liverpool come back to win this.

    Ugh. Come on Man City. Don’t want Real in another UCL final.

    After winning the league with Real over the weekend, Carlo Ancelotti is the first manager to win the top flight title in each of the Big 5 European leagues.

    fWAR has Baylor at 3.6 WAR and 24th in AL among hitters With Juan Gone it's 3.5 fWAR and 31st in AL among hitters. Going through the MVP stuff, I had to figure that baseball writers must have just hated Ruth. He led all of MLB in WAR 10 times yet only received MVP votes in 3 seasons. Compare that to Gehrig who got MVP votes 11 times. Mays only winning 2 MVPs is awful also.

    I watched some of the first few games because it was baseball and baseball being back is good. But my interest in following the 2022 Cubs faded quickly. There's just so little to actually look forward to. I do appreciate them falling apart right away this year rather than stringing us along for 3 months like last year giving us hope they might be decent only to completely horsefeathers the bed in late June/July. Saves me a lot of time this way.

    [tweet] [/tweet] I couldn't do just one so I put three teams together. LeBron, Bird, Hakeem, Steph, Allen Jordan, Magic, Garnett, Steph, Bosh Durant, Giannis, Hakeem, Steph, Manu Steph is just absurd value at $2. I'd take him over all the $3 players except Hakeem without thinking twice. And then it would come down to how you put the rest of your team together. Also, Iverson at $4 is absurd. Literally nobody except for the biggest Philly homers is picking him at $4.

    13 runs in 6 games. 6 runs came in 1 game so the other 5 we scored 3 once and 1 in each of the other 4. Solid work.

    The rest of the QBs had quite the fall. Second QB didn’t go until 74th.

    Hmmm. If only there was something very simple that Kyrie could have done to get more time on the court with the Nets. [tweet] [/tweet]

    100% guarantee Javy scores on the Suzuki double. Of course Javy’s probably at third already anyway but still. And as long as we’re comparing to previous players, 100% chance Rizzo tries to score on that play and gets thrown out by 15 feet.

    Got to be close to a record I’d think. Outscoring a team by 17 runs but losing the series.
