James Harden is a key reason Cleveland reached the ECF
He’s also a reason why they had the worst possible record along the way
This is the Harden Paradox and it’s why people have a hard time discussing his worth as a player
All the Guardians water-carriers talking about how they were still tied for the 3rd best record in the AL were technically correct.
Now it's 6th-best and 2 bad days way from being 10th-best.
The people who are upset about how the team is playing are upset for a reason.
Cavs are now running a Donovan Mitchell nostalgia act for a Cavalier era that had a 20-25 record in the playoffs. That's a very disappointing way to spend the next 5 years.
LeBron loves shooters, shooters love LeBron.
If LeBron wants to play in an environment most conducive to shooting, there's a clear best choice: Cleveland.
The Lakers have a new jersey patch sponsor, the team announced. Albert, a personal financial assistant app, will replace Bibigo starting in the 2026-27 season. A league source familiar with the sponsorship told ESPN the deal will bring LAL an annual value north of $30 million.
@JoshTheLink It's a great call.
Bloody Hell and The Nun also hit my "best Evil Dead movie that isn't an Evil Dead movie" list. Always hope for more.
When Evil Lurks is its more serious cousin, but definitely has ED1/2013 vibes for me.
This does not interest me for the Cavs
They need athleticism and versatility just as badly as they need size. Valanciunas doesn’t check enough boxes and they’ve whiffed on this archetype for years
