Practically All The Australian Tennis Men Have Been Dragged Into Bernard Tomic's Beef
The tennis world down under has been roiled by beef.

Pacers Fans, To Kelly Oubre Jr.: "John Wall Hates You"
The Washington Wizards are so richly and floridly toxic that it’s impossible to keep track of which of them want to murder each other at any given time.

Marc-Andre Fleury Got Busted Building A Snow Wall
When they talk about veteran savvy, they are usually referring to little (often unnoticeable) things an athlete does, gleaned through years and years of trial-and-error, but entirely legal. No more. From now on, any mention of veteran savvy will be specifically referring to Marc Andre-Fleury buildin...

The 76ers beat the absolute hell out of the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday night, by the score of 149–107.

Bucks Owner Marc Lasry Breathes Fresh Life Into The Steph-For-Bogut What-If Scenario
Back in 2016, then-San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami debunked a persistent rumor that the Warriors were once set to trade 23-year-old Stephen Curry for Bucks center Andrew Bogut, before the Bucks pulled the plug over concerns about Curry’s balky ankle. As Kawakami laid out at the time, th...
The Warriors Outdid Themselves With A Supernova First Quarter
Technically, the second-place Golden State Warriors were playing against the best team in the West when they took the floor tonight against the Denver Nuggets.

Joe Ingles Remains One Of The NBA's Premier Trash Talkers
Plodding Australian floor-spacer Joe Ingles is part of what makes a weird Utah Jazz team tick. He’s the only above average shooter in the Jazz’s best five-man lineup—a group that’s killing teams on both ends of the court. But his most important contribution to his team might be his uninterrupted str...
Seriously, This Loser Gave Clemson French Fries In Little Presidential Cups
I was ready to move on from Donald Trump’s fast-food dinner for the title-winning Clemson Tigers’ White House visit yesterday, but these shots from AP photographer Susan Walsh are too good to pass by without comment.

Understandably, James Harden’s 57-point detonation of the Memphis Grizzlies and the Boston Celtics’ ongoing weirdness were the main stories of last night’s NBA action. In the background, though, Anthony Davis went off on the Clippers, dumping 46 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and a block ...
The Celtics Aren't Right
The Celtics beat the Pacers 135-108 on Jan. 9. That capped a four-game win streak that was held up as evidence that the Celtics, thanks to a much-needed team meeting after a loss to the Bucks on Dec. 21, had finally rounded into form. Here is what has happened to the Celtics since: a 16-point loss t...
