If the sidelines seems significantly less snazzy so far this postseason, it's because they are sans Sager. Craig Sager, TNT's roving, resplendent reporter is undergoing treatment for leukemia. Allow us to pause while we dab our eyes with a paisley pocket square. No media member dons more distinctive duds - and make no mistake, some of them are duds (his aren't the suit and tie Justin Timberlake was singing about*). Thus, the network's commentators coordinated clothes in a pin-striped suit salute to Sags - and we were never so glad to see plaid^.
His son subbed in his stead Sunday (Popovich was kind enough to handle the kid with the kid gloves), but junior can't fill his father's two-tone shoes. There are those who want you to get better clothes, we just want you to get better.
*on the suit scale, Sager is closer to Tom Wolfe than Tom Ford
^it was Easter, the one day men besides Sager put on pastels
