A Taxonomy Of Calls For Unity In The Hardcore Scene
On Leap Day several years ago, Bold, the hardcore band, played the East Village coke den Lit Lounge’s packed basement in front of a hundred or two hundred people. The band, well into their middle age, hadn’t released a record since 1989, and are best known for punk songs they wrote as teenagers. Sin...

Woof, The Thunder Really Cannot Make A Bucket
It’s only four games, but man, it’s been a discouraging start to the season for the Oklahoma City Thunder. They’re now 0–4, with a home loss to the Sacramento Kings on their record, and what’s ailing them, very simply, is they just cannot put the ball into the basket. They’ve opened the season on a ...

Daryl Morey Is Daring Tom Thibodeau To Say No
Jimmy Butler’s trade demand has yet to be fulfilled at least in part due to a conflict of priorities inside the Timberwolves organization. Owner Glen Taylor reportedly favors a quick resolution and may be willing to trade Butler for players or picks with more long term than immediate value. Head coa...

Bucks Owner Wes Edens Is Being Subpoenaed In The Wall Street Sex Dungeon Lawsuit [Updated]
In two separate civil suits, multiple women say that Wall Street portfolio manager Howard Rubin—infamous for his role in Merrill Lynch losing $275 million dollars in one quarter in 1987, later documented in the bestselling book Liar’s Poker—paid people to lure them to a Manhattan penthouse, where he...
Donovan Mitchell Woke Up And Lit Up The Rockets
Donovan Mitchell had still been kneading the sleep out of his eyes during the first week of his sophomore season. Coming into last night’s game against the Rockets, he’d been unable to get any offense going—not from any region of the court, not off-the-dribble, not catch-and-shoot, not getting to th...
The Only Thing Left To Do Is Yell About The World Series
This can be said in variously Ken Burns-ian tones and with varying degrees of reverence, but October baseball really is different. There is less of it, for one thing, and the few games that remain are more meaningful and more tense, but also everyone is cold and tired and stressed out. In that sense...

Oh Yeah, Duh, Kawhi Leonard Is Still The Shit
There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical that Kawhi Leonard would show up in Toronto and immediately resume life as a superduperstar. He hadn’t really played hoops in a year, the severity of his quad injury was a matter of quantum uncertainty, and all signs before the fateful trade last summer p...
Let's Briefly Check In On The Minnesota Timberwolves
Now seems like a time to pop in and see what’s going on with the T-Wolves, and specifically Karl-Anthony Towns, who spent the last few weeks of the offseason getting shat on by teammate and supreme cheesebutt Jimmy Butler....
<i>Emergency Football Show Weekly</i>: The Eagles’ Super Bowl Hangover
Just a few weeks ago the Eagles were still on top of the football world. They’d won their first Super Bowl in February, and then appeared to reload in the offseason for a shot at another one. The team would be healthier, it seemed; Carson Wentz would be back. They upgraded at a few positions and did...
Steph Curry Is The Master Of G-Rated Humiliation
Steph Curry was in the mood for smiley annihilation last night. After he tossed up the ball that would net him his 41st, 42nd, and 43rd points, he backpedaled into the opposing bench to pay a visit to Austin Rivers....
Giannis Is Also LeBron Now
The best thing about the early days of the NBA season is checking in on Giannis Antetokounmpo and discovering how his world-destroying basketball abilities have evolved over the summer. Remember last season, when he came out of the gate playing like Shaq? Well, he’s still doing that—the season is yo...
Public Service Announcement: Do Not Tug On Steph Curry's Brother's Shorts For Any Reason
Steph Curry seemed like he was in a frisky mood in pregame warmups, but no one could possibly have anticipated just how frisky. Steph put 51 points on the board through three quarters against the Wizards, on an absolutely insane selection of wild-ass, irresponsible shots:...
Clearly Steph Is Bored With Basketball As We Know It
When you’re Steph Curry, and there’s no shot available in the normal course of a basketball game that you can’t make with your eyes closed, eventually you reach a point where you need to invent strange and avant-garde forms in order to feel alive. This is the weird outer realm of galactic-brain shot...
Pelicans Brass: Please Stop Calling Our GM A Pile Of Poop
Dell Demps has not had a great run as general manager of the New Orleans Pelicans. Mostly he has squandered the early part of Anthony Davis’s career, weighing down the roster with stiffs like Ömer Aşik and Alexis Ajinça, and making years’ worth of win-now moves that never actually produced a sustai...
NBA Admits Refs Were Suckered By Joel Embiid's Theatrics
Joel Embiid got Andre Drummond ejected during the final minute of regulation in Tuesday night’s eventual overtime Pistons win, by throwing himself on the floor like a big old goof after incidental contact with Drummond’s hand. The two behemoths have spent the hours since chirping at each other throu...
