Love ESPN saying you really need the veteran presence of James Johnson followed by him immediately getting thrown out lmao

Eddie King Jr comes through again!! Love that he just tried to get one to the outfield, that’s all they needed

Time to walk it off Cards

What a comeback by Spaun!! Might be the coolest final putt I’ve ever seen

Somehow makes the Finals broadcast look even cheaper now. They heard all the criticism and said “instead of showing the player intros, we’ll put CGI stickers on the court”

Most shocking Game 1 of the Finals since when? Maybe 2001 Sixers over Lakers? Not just for them to win but the way it happened is jaw dropping

Hali!!!! Unreal finish, how do they keep doing this

TJ Friedl!! John Sadak was spot on, that was the play of the season for the Reds. Would have been crushing to lose that after strike 3 was called a ball

Is there a matchup in the NBA with more flopping than Mathurin vs Brunson? Would love to see the percentage of their possessions that ends with them falling down

Between the fouls, turnovers, and just overall sloppy play, this has been one of the ugliest quarters of basketball I’ve seen in the playoffs. Pacers have a golden opportunity to push this to 20 and just can’t take advantage of it

ESPN could have absolutely taken a serious run at Sports Illustrated and supplanted them as the gold standard sports magazine. But I remember trying to read this back in the day and it was nowhere near as good as SI.

Feels like Game 4 determines the Knicks Pacers series. Thought Indiana had a good chance to close it out at home but they’re still in a great position if they can go up 3-1

Anyone outside of SGA like the midrange jumper more than TJ McConnell? At this point I’m just assuming it’s gonna go in every time

See now is when we need TNT to show us all the famous Knicks fans. I wanna see which ones are devastated, which ones don’t seem to care. Now’s the time

Ohhhh man shades of Durant all over again. That would have been the coolest ending ever but at least we get OT

Man I don’t need Awful Announcing to turn into another site that just posts clickbait. Think we got enough of those, who’s asking for this

Very curious to see what the Thunder do with SGA in the 2nd half. Thought for sure he’d get pulled with 3 fouls, but does he even start the 2nd now?

Not sure how hot of a take this is but it feels like this Thunder Nuggets series is the NBA finals. Everyone’s saying it’s wide open this year but I don’t see any team outside of these 2 winning it

Not a fan of the early bye but I love the Thanksgiving game against the Lions. Wish we could do that every year

This isn’t the worst Reds team of my life but it has to be the most boring

Bridges has been unreal down the stretch. Can’t even remember the last time he missed a shot

Can not imagine the atmosphere at MSG for game 3. Most anticipated Knicks game since ???

The upside to not liking the Celtics or the Knicks is that at least one of them has to lose every game. Didn’t love the comeback but always good to see the Celtics choke

Sengun has been so bad down the stretch. Missed layups, missed free throws, terrible body language. Gotta get him out here if you’re the Rockets and play someone who isn’t so frustrated

Body language for the Clippers after they give up a bucket is so bad. Really need to be more locked in for a game 7

These Journalism jokes on the timeline are getting sad. Just years of pent up frustration coming through tonight

So it won’t be on Fox for the Big East anymore? Can’t say I love that

a good example of how bad the media is at handling Trump: he lies in a very clear, provable way and instead of focusing on it Terry Moran tries to move the interview along

The Knicks just spend way too much time arguing calls. I know they’re far from the only team that does this but seems awfully excessive given how many calls they get to begin with

104-57 Cavs in the 3rd quarter of Game 4! Miami doesn’t want to be here! Who is this game for??

They should change the first round of the NBA playoffs so that going up 3-0 ends the series. It can still be a best of 7 unless one team wins the first 3 games. No reason for the Cavs and Heat to play again, no one needs to see that

I don’t know much about this pick but I’m all in on it if Mina Kimes says it’s her favorite pick of the draft

Any reason why TNT would choose to air OKC Memphis over LAC Denver? The latter is clearly the better series, there’s more star power, and they are both bigger markets. Am I missing something here?

I thought it was a play on in real time but yeah if anything this is a foul on Brunson. Refs really need to go back to not falling for guys jumping in to their defenders

Does Brunson always fall and flop this much? I know he’s a great player but what an unappealing style of basketball

Easily my favorite Masters ever. On the edge of my seat for a solid 5 hours, incredible stuff

That was the most intense Masters Sunday I’ve ever seen. Love that Rory finally got the Green Jacket, absolutely perfect

I also can’t believe that Kelvin Sampson didn’t take the 2 for 1 opportunity with like 48 seconds left. Could have easily gotten a decent look in 10-12 seconds if they had more urgency

I don’t understand that last play by Houston. They haven’t shot well all night from outside, why not go to the bucket and try and tie?

If Houston wins, they might set a record for number of air balls by the winning team in the title game

The cut to the Houston student section going wild is giving me flashbacks to the Louisville students after Trez’s dunk in 2013. Best feeling in the world to get a big alley oop in the title game

Nothing against Florida but definitely want Houston to win tonight. Always nice to see a new school win it, and they’re just cool as hell to watch

First time all March that Walter Clayton actually looks human. Think Florida needs to work to get him some easier looks

I know Bluesky is more political than into sports, but I absolutely love seeing the timeline come together to shit all over Duke and them choking away a spot in the title game. Beautiful night for this space

2 made shots by Duke in the final 13 minutes!! That’s insane! Just an all time choke job
