Dion Waiters Has The Perfect Quote For This, Just Give Him A Second
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters has helped his team beat two opponents this week, both times with ill-advised, game-winning threes, and he’s feeling good. The situation reminds him of something a great thinker once said ... hold on, it’ll come to him....
The Stock Market Sure Is High

The Carmelo Anthony Saga Just Keeps Getting Messier
All of this is just so embarrassing for the Knicks, who for whatever reason just can’t seem to have a boring, dignified losing season like so many other teams. Oh no, this has to turn into open discord between their best player and the man running the shots, as a series of leaks have revealed that t...
The Bulls Are Melting Down
A whole season’s worth of frustration came to a head for the Chicago Bulls tonight. Chicago is 23-24, just a hair ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the eighth seed, and they have an indisputably worthy all-star starter in Jimmy Butler. Yet the team is clearly harboring some internal tensions and toni...
Dion Waiters Is A Clutch Genius Now, I Guess
Dion Waiters has never met a contested three-pointer that he didn’t want to kiss on the mouth, and somehow, that tendency has helped him knock in a pair of game-winners this week against the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets, the opposite of the Golden State Warriors....
The Cavaliers' Bad Week Just Got Worse
What’s a bad way for the Cleveland Cavaliers to follow up a 2-5 lull and a very public callout of the front office?...
Malcolm Brogdon, The NBA's Second-Best Rookie, Has A Habit Of Dunking On People
Joel Embiid and his historic season aside, this class of NBA rookies hasn’t looked all that strong yet. One half of a season is not enough time to come to a conclusion about anyone’s career, but so far this class has been, as NBA.com’s Scott Howard-Cooper put it a month ago, bad. The number-one pick...
Mike D'Antoni Joins Ongoing Roast Of Alternative Facts-Peddler Sean Spicer
The Rockets have gone 3-5 over their past eight games, but if you look at those numbers in a different light, they’ve actually gone 8-0. Most cowardly media elites won’t tell you this....

This Is What Ads Will Look Like On NBA Jerseys
Advertisements on NBA jerseys were inevitable, and we just got our first glimpse of the logos that will appear on the upper-left corners of jerseys starting in the 2017-2018 season, when the league begins its apparel deal with Nike. Here’s a look at the Celtics, Kings, and Sixers uniforms, courtesy ...
Now The Wizards Have A Hole In Their Wall
The world of professional sports is plagued by holes. First there was that big hole Odell Beckham Jr. put in a wall near the Packers’ visiting locker room (hole’s fixed, by the way), and now the Washington Wizards have their own hole situation to deal with....

Marcus Smart Got Into It With His Coaches, Hit The Showers Early
I am disappointed. Anything short of a bench-clearing brawl would have been disappointing, after the Wizards wore all black (for the Celtics’ “funeral”) ahead of the teams’ third matchup of the year, after the first two features all manner of beef. But last night provided no fireworks, just a domina...
Paid Political Hacks Are Scum
Turns out that Robby Mook was the perfect campaign manager for Hillary Clinton after all. He’s just like his boss: can’t win an election, but can get rich giving revolting speeches afterwards....

These DeAndre Jordan Free Throws Are High Art
DeAndre Jordan stands to have his production decline as much as anyone on the Clippers in Chris Paul’s absence. Jordan is Paul’s primary alley-oop muse, and his offensive rebounding skills are a lot less handy without Paul’s penetration. However, that has nothing to do with Jordan airmailing two fre...
Dan Gilbert Has Had It Up To Here With These Landlines That Won't Receive His Text Messages<em></em>
This weekend, the New York Times published an article on Dan Gilbert and his scam mortgage factory, Quicken Loans. It reads like a typical Times business article for the most part, but whenever it touches on Gilbert himself, he comes off as a paranoid business guy keen on digging up conspiracies aga...
