If you wonder why animal experimenters must be stopped at every term, here’s a real life story going on in the Army.
HERE’S PETA UNDERCOVER VIDEO SHOT DURING A DMI TRAINING SESSION. IT’S VIDEO SOME NEWS ORGANIZATIONS WOULDN’T SHOW.
Disclosure: My wife headed the department at PETA that began the initial inquiry into Hagmann’s activities.
Analyst Michael Wilbon said it after the game. The Warriors just “goof” around too much, and play in a “loosey-goosey” way. I’ve noticed that for some time. They have this cool, nonchalance, a devil-may-care way about them that transforms high-percentage plays into risky ones and inevitably leads to turnover, after turnover. Dunks? Alley-oops? Fails. Some successes. But on Sunday, fails. And when you shoot terribly to boot, forget about winning game 2 against LeBron James.
Everyone can see LeBron James is the best player on the court, period. He cheats with his physicality and bullies his way to the hoop. But he made Game 2 a bit more about team, and the Cavs found their way to beat the Warriors. Put tall defenders at the three point line. Get Dellavadova to mark Curry like a soccer player. Get Mozgov involved inside to beat Bogut at the basket and on the line. And then let LeBron invoke his will and distribute.
The downfall to that strategy will be fatigue. The Cavs aren’t that deep. The every other day schedule could limit them.
Warriors should be able to counter easily to steal back home court advantage.
But as we’ve seen the first two games, they are prone to slow starts and a lack of intensity. If they play to their season best, they’d be 2-0 now. The pressure really is on Barnes, Speights, and Livingston to pick up when Curry isn’t showing up. The bench strength is the X factor.
But overall, the Dubs need to start caring about the ball like men on a mission.
They’re just too loose for their own good. They get sloppy. And loose leads to loss.
If they don’t tighten things up, LeBron will make them pay.
That about sums up my feeling about American Pharoah’s (sic) win at the Belmont. It wasn’t Affirmed/ Alydar. It wasn’t Secretariat. It was a colt going wire-to-wire against an undistinguished field. Is that really worth celebrating.
That it took nearly 40 years to have another Triple Crown winner isn’t really about the greatness of A.P. It’s more that the game, the breed has degenerated into a drug-mired enterprise that has changed the nature of horse racing in America.
I wrote this last year amid the California Chrome hype around the Belmont, and it all still applies.

If the Triple Crown really mattered it would be on the tip of everyone’s tongue
Astonishing how little if any buzz the victory had.
Here’s what really happened at Belmont yesterday. One horse died, one was vanned off, and American Pharoah won the big race. That’s some crownless triple.
