There’s been no stranger team in the current generation of college basketball than the Jock Landale-led Saint Mary’s Gaels. During Landale’s career (he’s now a senior), the small California school has run an offense that looks straight out of the 1950s. They give it to the tall guy under the basket,...

Jordan Bell’s first start of the month started in the cruelest way possible.

Not only did Bell not quite reach Lopez, he injured himself on ...

Per Adrian Wojnarowski, Houston’s Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green will be the only players getting discipline from the NBA after the Rockets’ reported invasion-by-secret-passage of the Clippers’ locker room following their loss in L.A. on Monday night.

In a truly inspiring instance of perseverance through pure failure and godawful struggles, 12th-ranked Cincinnati basketball scored only 15 points in the first half, yet still won their game against UCF tonight.

Mike D'Antoni To Blake Griffin: "Fuck You"
Things got chippy at the end of the Clippers’ win over the Rockets on Monday, and at the center of it all was Blake Griffin. The L.A. big man eventually got ejected for a little tie-up with Trevor Ariza, but before that, he got some hate from Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni....
Carmelo Anthony After Russell Westbrook's Ejection: "I'm Done With The Refs"
Russell Westbrook got ejected from Monday’s Kings-Thunder game with just one very sudden traveling call. With under three minutes to go in the game, Westbrook drove and thought he got fouled.

Ben Simmons And Kyle Lowry Plan To Meet In Tunnel After Ejections, Deny Any Actual Meeting
Ben Simmons and Kyle Lowry were both ejected with less than 10 seconds to go in today’s Raptors-Sixers game.
