Julius Randle Is Getting In People's Heads
Have you been watching any Lakers games this year? Perhaps you haven’t given them much thought ever since Kobe Bryant finally fucked off and took all the schadenfreude-driven reasons to watch the Lakers with him. Well guess what, the Lakers are kind of fun now!...

<i>Inside The NBA</i> Crew Talks Politics; EJ Wrote In John Kasich
Instead of previewing the upcoming game between the Heat and the Bulls, the hosts of Inside The NBA instead spoke for a solid 10 minutes about the election of Donald Trump and how they felt a day removed from it. None of the panel supported Trump, but everyone urged their fellow disaffected citizens...
Hero Teen Takes Her Loss On <i>Jeopardy!</i> Like A Champ
Sabrina here didn’t know the answer to tonight’s Final Jeopardy! question about the Great Barrier Reef. That did not, however, stop her from chinning up, staring straight into the camera, and delivering the best answer of the night....

A Crowd Marched Up Manhattan To Yell At A Big Ugly Building<em></em>
The protestors were mostly gone by the time I arrived at Union Square on Wednesday night. They had begun to march towards Trump Tower, stalling traffic as they held signs, phones, and contempt for the next president of the United States....
How Are You Keeping It Together?<em></em>
I slept two hours Tuesday night and woke up with feeling some of the worst grief of my life and no substantial way to alter its source. I ate nothing but an açai bowl and most of a family size bag of nacho cheese Doritos. I went outside once, briefly, and it was drizzling and shitty out and I snappe...
President Obama Notes That The Warriors Blew A 3-1 Lead In The Finals
In these, the precious final days before the title of Leader of the Free World is officially handed over to an unhinged megalomaniacal trash TV star, it is important to treasure the relatively good times we have today. To help us at least temporarily forget about this lost world we find ourselves in...

New York Basketball Is Perfect And Pristine
We’ve been blessed with a few sequences of perfect basketball already this season, and last night the Knicks and Nets served up a hot slice of authentic “Big Apple” hoops. This encapsulates everything you need to know about the state of basketball in this city, whose crown prince is Brandon Jennings...
The Clippers' Bench Has Somehow Gone From Terrible To Amazing
For five seasons, the Los Angeles Clippers have been the exact same team. In the regular season they win 50-something games, and in the playoffs they flame out before the Conference Finals. But things might just be different this year, because their previously worthless bench unit is dominating game...

We Went To Rural Georgia And Smoked A Ton Of Meat
This week’s episode of Foodspin finds me and Drew in the small town of Unadilla, somewhere in what sure felt like the wilds of rural Georgia, where we visited what can only be described as the compound of famed barbecue master Myron Mixon. (Cue “Dueling Banjos.”) There we learned how to build a pit ...
Donald Trump Is The Leader America Was Promised
In the end, the warnings got the story all backwards. Beware, the political analysts said—Donald Trump may be an incompetent, bigoted buffoon, but after he loses, a cleverer, more subtle, more respectable Trump will come along....

James Harden Is Free To Be Great
The Houston Rockets, while in the final throes of the failed partnership between James Harden and Dwight Howard, transformed from a contender into one of the saddest-ass teams in the NBA last year. Now Howard is gone, Mike D’Antoni is the new coach, and James Harden is, uh, holy shit, look at James ...
Steve Kerr Rips Donald Trump And The Whole Damn Election
The Warriors ran the Mavericks 116-95 in Oakland last night, but way more interesting and important were Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s pregame comments on the campaign and the new President-elect: “The man who’s going to lead you has routinely used racist, misogynist, insulting words. That’s a tou...
End Of Motorcycle Chase Features Excellent Play-By-Play Announcing
Tonight a clearly unexperienced motorcyclist led L.A.-area cops on a chase that ended when he ran into a car and took off running. That led to some wonderful commentary from the KCBS chopper man as he painted a picture with words of the gent trying, and failing, to escape. Here’s an alternate angle ...
DeMar DeRozan Is Off To A Historically Hot Start
DeMar DeRozan is an outlier among NBA shooting guards, in that he can’t shoot. The Raptors wing is a career .282 three-point shooter, which is lower than DeMarcus Cousins’s career mark, and he’s shooting even worse this year. Dwyane Wade had a distinguished career without being able to stretch the f...
