Russell Westbrook Throws Up A Half-Court Shot That Is Total Nonsense
He was clearly trying to draw a foul here, and although he may have actually succeeded—Gary Neal's hands were right on Westbrook's chest when the shot went up—this shot was ill-advised. You can't really expect the referee to be ready to call a foul on a half-court shot with 18 seconds left on the s...

Don Cherry loves his fish. We know this, because back in January he went on a multi-Tweet rant about the little guys.

This DeAndre Jordan Alley-Oop Is Disgusting And We Should All Just Go To Bed Now
Honestly, this is just ridiculous. Chris Paul, from essentially the three point line, tosses an alley-oop that Deandre Jordan catches in the middle of the key and, well, yeah. It was authoritative, let’s say....

Days later, Towson parents flew a plane over Ravens stadium trailing a ba...

Off To See A Snoozer. <em>Oz, The Great and Powerful</em>, Reviewed.
1. The notion of doing a prequel to The Wizard of Oz focused on Oz himself isn't an inherently terrible idea. The wizard, after all, is the one character in that story who's neither completely good nor bad; he's full of shit, sure, but he also means well for Oz and ultimately tries to grant everybod...

Who Shot? J.R.: Why We Love The Knicks' Gunner
Here are all the players in NBA history who shot 29 or more times in a game but attempted two or fewer free throws. It's quite the list, really. Among other things, it's also a pretty good list of the best fadeaway artists in NBA history. You can almost see these games in your head. Catch-and-shoot...
The Wizards Moved Broadcasters Off The Floor To Sell An Extra $1 Million Worth Of Seats
We noted over the weekend that the Wizards' broadcasters, both home and away, TV and radio, are no longer anywhere near the court. Gone from the scorer's table, where crews at virtually every other arena call the game from proximity, the TV crews now sit at the very tippy top of section 110. (They w...
