Windhorst just now saying everything he's hearing indicates Houston isn't likely for Lebron.

Houston was never a real option. It’s Cleveland or LA

If he goes to LA I won't be a fan anymore. I am a Lebron fan but I can't pull for the Lakers.

Yeah I won’t like it but, at this point, I’m all for just about anybody dethroning the Warriors.

For instance, I hate the Celtics but if they’d have won the East I’d have pulled for them in the Finals.

Apparently the Nets are buying Dwight out and he's going to be a FA, with Cleveland and GSW in the mix.

Lol... I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anybody move the goalpost as much as he does in order to make his points. It somewhat frustrated me at first but it’s starting to become fairly entertaining.

He's gotta be just trolling, he's almost as bad as D4H.

Freakaonomics podcast just had an episode about sports and there was some good statistical analysis in there.

Say your odds of winning are 50/50, but the game is on the 2nd night of B2B games, your odds of winning drop to 36%.

They wanted to find the source of home field advantage, and they looked at everything, ranging from field dimensions, to fans psyching players out, etc. and their findings suggested all of home field advantage lies in how the fans influence refs. That's it. If your stadium is full of fans, you get more calls. If it's a small crowd, no advantage. If you have a track around the playing field (so fans aren't right on top of the action) the advantage is diminished.

How does that eliminate intimidation?

How did they eliminate fan intimidation of players from being a factor? They found that on average players perform the same with or without opposing fans doing their worst. For example, they looked at FT% at home and on the road.
