Add Andre Roberson To The List Of Important NBA Players Lost To Season-Ending Injuries
Andre Roberson takes a lot of shit for being among the worst non-center shooters in the NBA, and for how that lack of shooting has, in the past, badly cramped the spacing for certain Oklahoma City Thunder lineups. Those inclined towards giving him shit will be relieved, then, to learn that he will b...

The Warriors narrowly edged the Celtics last night in Oakland, 109-105, in a game that was within a couple possessions most of the way. As if plucked directly from the hopes and wishes of fans sick to death of this stretch of NBA basketball being defined by injuries and conflict, the game Saturday n...
Mike Conley And The Grizzlies Are Done For The Season
Injuries are chewing up this NBA season. Mike Conley, of the Memphis Grizzlies, played in just 12 games before heel and achilles pain put him out of action, and all but ended any hope of the Grizzlies continuing their seven-year streak of making the playoffs in the loaded West.

DeMarcus Cousins's Injury Fucking Blows
Last season, the trade of DeMarcus Cousins from Sacramento to New Orleans realigned the league just in time to lend some shape to the NBA’s annual trade deadline; the feelings of Sacramento Kings fans notwithstanding, that was a vastly happier way for Cousins to find himself functioning as the start...

The Only Fun Miami Marlin Is Probably Better At Basketball
Even in a shamelessly slow offseason, the Miami Marlins have clobbered all competitors in a race to become the least interesting team in baseball.

Bucks rookie Sterling Brown was subdued with a taser and arrested in the parking lot of a Milwaukee Walgreens early this morning, after cops claim he had parked his car across a pair of handicap spots.

Walking baseball almanac David Roth and I have spent a lot of time remembering the vaguely known guys of the diamond, but today, we’re switching it up. While we’re sticking around in the same dawn-of-grunge/golden age of hip-hop era (the late ’80s and early ’90s), the shorts are shorter, and the ret...
