Larry Bird Calls His Indiana Pacers “Soft” Following Team’s Physical Game 5 Loss to Miami (from Ball Don’t Lie)
I’d slow your roll, Larry.  Sure, the Pacers got beat the fuck up in Game 5.  It is also true that the Heat were more aggressive and physical than the Pacers were, but that’s where it ends.  Isn’t it possible that the Heat were just tougher, rather than the Pacers being soft?  What the fuck were the Pacers going to do?  Injuries are starting to catch up with them and need every talented warm body they can have on the court.  Chill out, Larry Bird.

The Cost of Kobe Bryant (from True Hoop)
As much as I really am not a fan of some of the writers on True Hoop, Beckley consistently kills it.  This is a really interesting look at the true cost of Kobe Bryant.  Interesting how different this would look if emotions weren’t attached, huh?
