Now that the second podcast has hit, this is a foundational moment in Adam Silver's legacy, some sort of . . . like an event that changes everything or a catastrophe that will be remembered forever. Damnit, why am I so bad with metaphors?
Silver recently responded to complaints about how much it costs to subscribe to all the services that carry NBA games with a suggestion to just watch the highlights, since those are free online. So I am sure he will handle this with the gravitas it deserves.

I'm watching this Sixers Heat game but it's driving me nuts. Its like an old folks home for elderly con men, watching Lowry and Butler trying to cage free throws without ever putting up an honest shot.

I suppose if you'd told me early in the season that Murder Kornet and The Hausitzer would play > 10 minutes in the NBA Finals for the Celtics, I would have taken that deal just to see what the hell happened.

The Celtics seem insistent on ending their season like it started. That's frustrating as hell. That said, obviously most of the problem can be credited to the Warriors.

I got so annoyed with Derek Rae's pronunciation of "Bruno Fernandes" (it doesn't jibe with my decades-old New England understanding of Portuguese) that I discovered this IPA pronunciation tool and will now waste the rest of these Euros taking the spellings from players' Wikipedia entries to judge the commentators' accuracy.

As a huge fan of the Celtics and #34, I can't say I will miss hearing his takes, though, sadly, he might improve the quality of discourse in Boston sports (though not on NBCSN which is pretty solid depending on how you feel about Scal. Oh and if you can tolerate Perk. God help us.)

This should happen everywhere. If you think the anthem needs to be played before sporting events, then play it before every movie, concert, church service and the start of every work day at every business. What good reason is there to play the anthem before a game? https://t.co/HvnBtXhgGS
