Kyle Lowry Abuses Deron Williams, Gets His Signature Highlight
You wouldn't be blamed for not knowing a whole lot about Kyle Lowry before this year. He's a 28-year-old point guard who's averaged 11 points and five assists per game throughout his career, and who has toiled away in relative obscurity in Memphis, Houston, and now Toronto. This year, he became the ...
Big Al And The Bobcats Deserved More Than What They Got
For a few short minutes during the Bobcats' Game 3 loss to the Miami Heat, Al Jefferson did his thing.

For Real Though, We Need To Talk About Thomas Robinson's Block
I, like most basketball fans, have been thinking about last night's game between the Rockets and Blazers pretty much all day. But out of all the amazing shit that happened in that game—Wes Matthews torpedoing the ball and the win out of Patrick Beverley's hands; that brief stretch when Nic Batum, D...
Donald Sterling Thinks He Owns His Players; He's Not Alone
Whatever else you say about Donald Sterling, give him this: the man has defeated criticism. There is no way to say anything about this spectacular American grotesque that doesn't amount to congratulating anyone who happens to be less racist than he is for being less racist than Donald Sterling. So, ...
Mitch McGary Declaring For NBA Draft, Victim Of NCAA Reefer Madness
After missing most of last season with a back injury, University of Michigan forward Mitch McGary seemed likely to head back to Ann Arbor for another year of work on his sketchy offensive game and another deep run in the NCAA tournament. Instead, he'll be declaring for the NBA draft—all because he g...

Oh Hell, Root For The Wizards: John Wall's Brave, Stubborn Playoff Run
If you have watched much Washington Wizards basketball over the past four seasons, first of all, why, and I am so sorry—but also, you have seen John Wall chase down a ballhandler in transition, take off like a fucking F/A-18 off a carrier deck, and swat the absolute shit out of the ball. It's reall...
It's So Hard To Escape The Blazers
It's a question that we've asked before, and after falling to the Blazers in overtime last night, it's one that the Rockets are probably asking themselves a lot this morning: How the hell do you beat the Blazers?...

Israeli Basketball Is Kind Of Insane
This is what happened at the close of last night's chapter of Israel's biggest rivalry, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv. After a close away win for Maccabi, center Sofoklis Schortsanitis—a former Clippers draft pick—charged into a hostile crowd to try to beat up a Hapoel fan. You can see the fa...
The Pacers Have Hit Rock Bottom
The good news for Pacers fans is that things can't get much worse than this. The team's month-long tailspin seems to have finally ended with a crash landing in Indiana last night. The Pacers lost 107-88 to the Atlanta Hawks while putting on a miserable performance that featured just 23 first-half po...

Dirk Nowitzki Gives Conan O'Brien A "Texas Citizenship Test"
Conan O'Brien is taping his show in Dallas this week, and last night he invited Dirk Nowitzki onto the show to test just how much of a Texan Conan really is. It's a pretty funny bit, but mostly it's just a reminder that Dirk is awesome and that the NBA will be a much worse and humorless place when ...
