The Thunder Are The Thunder Again, And This Is A Brand New Series
I suppose we can go ahead and forget about the first two games of the Western Conference finals, which saw the Serge Ibaka-less Thunder getting swallowed whole by the Spurs while Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did their best to fight off the inevitable. We can forget those two games because Ser...
The Thunder Got Back Serge Ibaka, May Have Gotten Back Into This Series
Now this is more like it. When the Thunder announced they'd lost Serge Ibaka for the remainder of the playoffs to a calf injury, it seemed like we'd all miss out on another classic clash of age vs. youth, savvy vs. athleticism, creative offense vs. "dribble around, then someone shoot!" Ibaka's retur...

Paul George Says He Blacked Out After Taking A Knee To The Head
NBA fans saw something they aren't really used to seeing during last night's game between the Heat and Pacers: a player lying motionless on the floor after taking a blow to the head....
It's Westbrook And Durant Vs. The World Now
The Spurs, because they are the all-consuming, unrelenting Spurs, did everything they were supposed to in their Game 1 matchup with the Thunder last night.

In 33 minutes against the Wizards, Hibbert scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and once again started looking like a functional basketball p...
Now <em>That</em> Was A Russell Westbrook Game
If any player in the NBA can accurately be described as basketball cocaine, it's Russell Westbrook. When things go badly, like they did when he shot 9-of-26 in Game 3 against Memphis, he can make you regret that you ever even considered him a viable source of fun. But when things go right, like they...

Chris Paul Reminds Us Who The Point God Is
The real bummer about last night's game between the Thunder and Clippers is that it turned into a blowout fairly quickly, and not just because blowouts suck. See, if the Thunder had managed to keep it close, Chris Paul probably would have dropped 60 on those suckers....
Gilbert Arenas Lives To Hate On Roy Hibbert
Roy Hibbert pooped the bed again last night, failing to score a single point or pull down a single rebound in 18 minutes against the Wizards. Watching Roy Hibbert play like shit for the last eight games has been the most depressing thing about these playoffs, but his struggles have also brought a gr...
Mike Tirico Raps About Drake, Achieves Supreme Dadness
It's not the rapping that makes Mike Tirico the biggest dad to have ever dadded in this clip, it's the ensuing faux-embarrassment, the point-by-point explanation of his joke, and the gleeful mention of his son and whatever extracurricular activity that son is currently engaged in. That's what we ca...
New Footage Shows The Based God's Curse On Kevin Durant Is Real
I don't know what kind of hidden frequencies or imperceptible light waves this Vine can pick up on, but we now have the best evidence yet for why Kevin "The Servant" Durant's shot wasn't hitting like it usually does last night....
