This week: the NBA finals continue, the Suns’ sick leave, shoehorned NHL coverage, Spurs DNA, the death of the death lineup and the fight for golf’s soul (lol). Also: can’t feel my feet when I’m with you, the dog and duck, Harvey Norman levels of interest, hiding the spicy cough, floating loaves, fake unicorns, the first of multiple Shoresy references, the Oilers go out as they came in, SNL sketch band names, Basketball Illuminati on CAA pulling strings in Utah, weird bus-driving uncles, Quit Snyder, power-ranking Pop replacements, abusive relationships, weird experiments in central Florida, MDA looks south, the worst people in the world, put some respect on Ettore Messina’s name, having better things to do than watching Boston win, that’s all for small ball, poking the refs, third quarter Dubs < fourth quarter Celtics, drop coverage coverage, Phil Gould’s responsible for everything that goes wrong, and going maybe one night too early on declaring the terminal decline of NZ test cricket. BALLS and tripping balls are available on their own RSS feeds, as well as being found together on Omny Studio, Spotify and Apple Podcasts (feel free to subscribe, rate and review) - and we welcome your reckons via Twitter, Facebook and email.
