How The Hell Did The Jazz Lose By 50 To The Mavericks?
Before the season started, the Utah Jazz were considered a lock to finish top four in the Western Conference, and many prognosticators even thought they could surpass the Rockets and finish second. Theoretically, Utah seemed likely to rip out of the gates because of continuity, some internal improve...

The Eagles Suck!
Last week Dom Cosentino and I discussed one simple truth of this NFL season: The Dallas Cowboys were a mess. Naturally, the Cowboys went out and beat up on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night....
LeBron James Is Here
Perhaps it’s a function of the fact that the Lakers started the season with some bad losses, or that he’s been banished to late-night television on the west coast, or that this clip exists, but before last night’s game between the Lakers and Blazers, it felt like LeBron James had yet to put any sort...
LeBron James Remembers How To Play Defense Long Enough To Put Nik Stauskas On The Floor<em></em>
LeBron James’s defense this season has been, let’s say, below average. The lowlights have ranged from letting Serge Ibaka blow by him, to missing his assignment entirely because he was too busy sticking his foot out while trying to stop a pass. It would have surprised no one if James had let Nik Sta...
Dwane Casey Gets His Revenge On The Raptors
With 1.2 seconds remaining in regulation, José Calderón found Reggie Bullock five feet from the basket to hit the buzzer-beating shot that gave the Pistons a 106-104 win over the Raptors. It was Dwane Casey’s first game back in Toronto since the Raptors fired him at the end of last season, and he d...

This Is Just What It's Always Going To Be Like Now
It never takes much. Tubbs started when some power lines blew over. All it took for Carr to roar to life was a flat tire. Thomas was born of a utility malfunction. Camp was probably the same. Their beginnings almost don’t matter, since the story of each of those historic wildfires, and all the fires...

Kevin Durant And Draymond Green Are Beefing Over A Lot More Than One Bad Possession
Quick recap: Draymond Green botched the final possession of regulation against the Clippers on Monday night, Kevin Durant yelled at him on the sideline, Green yelled back, one or both of them did some more yelling in the locker room, and Green got suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the Wa...

The Mavericks finally got DeAndre Jordan this year, three years after ... well, you remember. It’s possible this was a Monkey’s Paw–type situation....
Tracy McGrady: Carmelo Anthony Should Just Retire
Soon-to-be former Rocket Carmelo Anthony missed his third straight game tonight with what the team is calling an “illness,” though he’s really been held out since a disastrous game against the Thunder because the Rockets are in the process of getting rid of him and want to save face as they unceremo...
Marco Rubio: The Recount Is Like Booting The Helmet Sport Ball Through The Yellow Poles
I’m not going to subject you to this entire embarrassing conspiracy theory-pushing thread posted tonight by bloodless dipshit Marco Rubio—a man who would finish off the podium in a Marco Rubio lookalike contest—but I would like to draw as much attention as possible to the fact that Rubio tried to pa...

The Warriors' Only Weakness Seems To Be Them Arguing With Each Other [Update]
Draymond Green and Kevin Durant had themselves a nice spat Monday night over some bad decision-making by Green in the final seconds of regulation, a game that the Warriors lost to the Clippers in overtime. Earlier today, ESPN’s Marc J. Spears and Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the conflict continu...

Ass Team Of The Week: The Buccaneers Were Killed By Their Own Hot, Compressed Farts
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 16-3 to Washington on Sunday, but just about every number save for the final score says the Bucs were the better team. They out-gained Washington in yards nearly two-to-one—it was 501 to 286 when the final whistle blew—and yards per play (7.5 to 5.2), and had nearly dou...
Despite That Gruesome Ankle Injury, Caris LeVert Might Return This Season
Caris LeVert, who’d been enjoying a fantastic third season with the Nets, went down with a horrid ankle injury in last night’s loss to the Timberwolves. He was taken off the floor in a stretcher; his teammates were openly weeping. Today, an evaluation from team orthopedist Dr. Martin O’Malley held e...
Jrue Holiday Will Punish You For Worrying About Anthony Davis
The Toronto Raptors came into last night’s home game against the New Orleans Pelicans as the hottest team in the NBA, with a league-best 12-1 record and on a six-game winning streak. They had third-best offense and eighth-best defense in the league, and have done all this with Kawhi Leonard already ...
Draymond Green Blew It And Kevin Durant Got So Mad At Him
The Warriors and Clippers played a thriller last night, in which the Warriors made an 11-0 run in the last five minutes of regulations to tie the game, only to lose 121-116 in overtime. But who cares about any of that shit! We’re here because Kevin Durant and Draymond Green looked like they wanted t...
