    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that Gruden’s lawsuit against the NFL must be resolved in arbitration. That’s a loss for Gruden, who would have preferred to press his case in a public forum (or, perhaps, he thought the specter of a public trial might allow him to negotiate a more favorable...

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Exactly. The problem isn’t that they won a close game; it’s that the game was close despite Cleveland missing their best player, not playing terribly well, and probably getting the short end of an uneven officiating performance. C’s were lucky tonight more than they were good.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    The offense was fine. The goal was to run 24 seconds off the clock; the quality of shot he ended up getting was secondary. The foul, on the other hand, was inexcusable.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Seemed like a textbook example of a call that might be made in the 3rd quarter of a game in January but is never called in the last 2 minutes of a playoff game.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    That’s either a no-call or a foul on Jaylen.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Not counting unhatched chickens, but it looks like we’re going to get a road win where only two guys (Tatum and Holiday) played well.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Very lucky he wasn’t hurt. He’s playing badly tonight.

    Plummeting Ticket Prices

    MLB attendance peaked in 2007. There are obviously reasons specific to the Red Sox why demand for tickets at Fenway is down now, but demand would be down from 15-20 years ago even if ownership and the front office had done everything right.

    5/11 - G3 @ CLE - Scott Wedman: Hero of Watertown

    C’s got more easy buckets than the Cavs. CJM and his staff deserve a lot of credit for that. I think that was the difference on a night when Mitchell was probably the best player on the floor (32 points on 22 shots, 0 turnovers).

    4/29: Game 4@Miami

    Who’s the last guy on the bench tonight? Send him in to guard Bam.

    4/29: Game 4@Miami

    I know. Hoping it’s a cramp, because any other non-contact injury is bad.

    4/29: Game 4@Miami

    We had the same thought. No one sets more moving screens than Bam.

    4/29: Game 4@Miami

    Any criticism when you’re up 16 is bound to be nitpicking, but excellent 3-point shooting is covering what has really not been a terrific overall offensive performance so far. Edit: White aside, obviously.

    Who are the league's "#1"s

    Reading the whole discussion here, I think we’re trying to create a tier 1B between pantheon guys (i.e., players we will eventually discuss as among the 10-20 players in the game’s history) and garden-variety Hall of Famers — a distinction which, given Springfield’s relatively lax standards...
