He probably loses calls too, though I don't follow his game closely enough to know.

MLB umps are the worst. Incredibly thin skinned.

This fairly new habit of holding his arms out wide like he's going to be crucified when he doesn't get a call also doesn't help. I think the only thing that is going to impact his behavior is his teammates telling him to knock it off.

I thought Shabazz had the tools to be a better player. Too bad it didn't work out.

As everybody knows, I'm far less impressed with the job Tim Connelly has done than most people on this board. His reputation exceeds his performance, IMO. However.... Drafting Jaylen Clark in the second round is a 10 out of 10. Clark is as boring as Ant is exciting. But all he does is...

He's not going to get calls when he acts the way he does.

Tonight is just the kind of game they often lose (even with Ant). It's a talented and immature team, like its leader.

I go up north every summer with a group of friends. One year we stopped at a casino on the way up and I "accidentally" won $60 at the blackjack table. It was an accident because I didn't know what the hell I was doing. It was hard to walk away from the table because greed and delusions of...

Why are you betting on games and what kinds of bets are you making? I'm not being judgmental, I'm genuinely curious. I don't bet, not for moral or budgetary reasons, but because it doesn't interest me. For me, the game is the hook. What's the hook of betting?

I did a quick search of the columns that Scoggins and Reusse have done on Johnson through the years and they are largely quite positive, certainly more positive than his record deserves. So what's the deal? A few guesses: 1. The media in this market tends to go pretty easy on sports figures...

For the sake of 8-10 posters who can’t forgive Ben for being a black coach and who have claimed without providing evidence that Gabel forced the hire and who have claimed without providing evidence that junior Muss and junior Dutcher were fighting for the job, let’s all pray that Coyle doesn’t...

I think "good dude" from the medias perspective is defined as is the person approachable, does the coach provide access, does the coach help you meet deadline, does the coach publicly embarrass you, is the coach a straight shooter etc. I suspect Pitino and Tubby were also good dudes who got...

There is no way Coyle retains him at this point. Your post addresses something that I think is in play here. It's not racial and it's not DEI (oops, bad word!). Ben is basically a good dude, so the media has given him the benefit of the doubt. He hasn't produced, so he's gone, but I think...

He's a $30M player. At least. They are going to have to do something with Julius this summer to keep him. Even if they do get rid of Julius this will be an early test of the ne regime's willingness to spend money.

Not complaining, regardless of number of calls, is always the exception in the NBA. It's obnoxious. If they made the fine for a tech $250K, the players would STFU. Even the ones on max contracts. Another option would be fining every player the team $50K when a player gets a tech.

Dillingham is tracking as Finch predicted at the beginning of the year. Finch said in an interview that he expected Dillingham to play well in about one out of every three games. Last night he didn't shoot well but he avoided mistakes and his +/- was excellent. Finch is only playing him when...

It's the not being able to leave the casino or close the app that's the problem.

Just seeing this now. I read an article sometime in the last year that said she makes $10M/year from the ad campaign. A very ordinary looking person with very ordinary talent is making an extraordinary amount of money starring in a very annoying ad campaign. Capitalism at its finest!!

SGA is allowed to use his forearm and shoulder with impunity when he goes to the hoop. He gets every phantom call. Edwards gets beat up and doesn't get the calls. They are both elite players. What's the difference? Edwards went to the KAT school of referee relations. The refs say to...

It is frustrating
