Who Ever Could This Anonymous Lonzo Ball Source Be?
The Los Angeles Lakers received the second pick in the NBA draft this evening and the future’s looking up for the franchise.

The Lakers Narrowly Avoided Total Catastrophe At The Lottery
The Los Angeles Lakers will get the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, which is a fine return for a shit-filled season of tanking that very nearly went up in flames thanks to an inexplicable five-game winning streak at the end of the year. Not only is the team in the driver’s seat to pick Lo...
Police Appear To Shoot Stolen Van Suspect On Live Television
KTLA in Los Angeles broadcast what appears to be a live shooting this afternoon as a suspect police say stole a van was taken down by police.

We're About To Find Out If The Dodgers Have Another Young Stud On Their Hands
On Tuesday night, Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles tore his ACL while chasing down a fly ball in left field. It was more of the same for the Dodgers, who have been one of the most injury-plagued teams in recent memory. Also more of the same: They just keep finding good young players to plug the holes...
Yasiel Puig Did A Whole Bunch Of Cool Baseball Shit Last Night
The Dodgers lost to the Giants last night, 4-1, and their only run of the evening was scored by Yasiel Puig, who spent all game doing cool baseball shit. In the fifth inning, Joe Panik slapped a double off the wall. It should have been an easy hit for Panik, but he almost got caught at second thanks...
Jerry Jones Is A Great Guy Until He Fires You
Jerry is really personable. I mean, you’ve got to like Jerry Jones. If you’re around him, you’ve got to like him, unless you hate the Dallas Cowboys, which some people do. But as a person, he’s likeable. He’s fun to be around. His whole family is working with the team. They are a great family. I’m p...
Let This Be The End Of The Clippers<em></em>
The Los Angeles Clippers got eliminated on their home court by the Utah Jazz yesterday, in Game 7. The Jazz were the lower-seeded team, so nominally this qualifies as an upset—though of course it wasn’t really, in the dual sense that, A) even before the Clippers lost Blake Griffin to a season-ending...
Dodgers Come From Behind With Back-To-Back-To-Back Dingers In The Bottom Of The Ninth
Down by three in the bottom of the ninth against the Phillies last night, the Dodgers didn’t stop swinging for the fences. Philadelphia closer Héctor Neris, pitching for the third time in four days, didn’t have his best stuff—and L.A. jumped all over him. ...
LaVar Ball Sucks, But That Doesn't Mean He's Wrong
LaVar Ball—the supremely annoying father of upcoming lottery pick Lonzo Ball, and two younger basketball teens—is in the headlines yet again. Darren Rovell reports that Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour—the three companies that combined control 99 percent of the basketball shoe market—have all declined...
Yasiel Puig Absolutely Snipes Brandon Belt At Home<em></em>
After Buster Posey smacked a hard grounder to right field, Dodgers defensive marvel Yasiel Puig launched this throw from the outfield, somehow zinging it straight into the glove of catcher Yasmani Grandal in time to cut down Brandon Belt, who was trying to score from second.

Old Man Joe Johnson Is Still A Thrill
If you flip on the game at just the right moment, you might confuse the Clippers-Jazz series for pickup ball at a ritzy nursing home. Witness Jamal Crawford (37), Paul Pierce (39), and Joe Johnson (35), all getting serious minutes in a closely contested playoff series. And in Johnson’s case, not mer...
Something's Off With Kenta Maeda
Kenta Maeda’s start to the season has been, to put it simply, pretty ugly. In four games so far, he’s failed to make it past the fifth inning; last night’s performance was the worst yet, allowing six runs and putting 10 men on base. Now, the Dodgers are saying that they might skip his next start in ...
