Trade Marc Gasol To The Lakers
The Memphis Grizzlies are swan-diving at a high rate of speed to the bottom of the West, and according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski they’re finally ready to see about trading away the two aging faces of the franchise, guard Mike Conley and center Marc Gasol. The team would likely need to get a lot b...
Russell Westbrook Beefed With So Many Blazers
The Thunder beat the Blazers 123-114 last night, and Russell Westbrook finished the game with a 29-14-10 triple-double on 9-of-20 shooting. Games in which Westbrook’s shooting percentage rises above 40 percent are rare these days, so this counted as a relatively hot shooting night, and an excuse for...

Boxer Badou Jack Suffered A Truly Gruesome Facial Injury [Graphic]
Light heavyweight boxer Badou Jack lost to the undefeated Marcus Browne in a unanimous decision in the co-main event of Pacquiao vs. Broner on Saturday night, though it’s impressive he went the distance after suffering a nasty freak injury. In the seventh round, Jack and Browne smacked heads, which ...
Russell Westbrook On If He And Joel Embiid Are Cool: "Fuck No"
Thunder-Sixers has become an inordinately frisky inter-conference rivalry. Last season’s two matchups were marked by relentless shit-talking and mockery on-court and online between Sixers center Joel Embiid and Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. A lot of waving goodbye was involved. The teams pl...
The Time A Guy Punctuated The Worst Shooting Performance Of All Time By Declaring War On Bill Laimbeer
Russell Westbrook scored 26 points in Oklahoma City’s loss to the Lakers on Thursday night, including the three clutch free throws that sent the game to overtime. Start there and work backwards across the box score, and you will go from feeling pretty good about Russ’s contributions—hey, 26 points, ...
Russell Westbrook's Unsteady Son Is A Very Good Sports Baby
Last night before the Oklahoma City Thunder’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell Westbrook warmed up with his (extremely well-dressed) son Noah. Noah isn’t even two yet and he’s already sprint-toddling down the court and lobbing shots into his dad’s makeshift hoop arms....
Good Things Can Happen When Lonzo Ball Is In Control
It’s no secret that the consensus on Lonzo Ball here is that he’s a bad young player. But in the Lakers 138-128 victory over the Thunder, he showed more than a few flashes of not being total ass, and might have proven to coach Luke Walton that the team’s best chance of surviving this LeBron-less per...
Here Is The Most Predictably Depressing Part Of A Predictably Depressing Fight (So Far)
Okay, so, on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao—a semi-washed 40-year-old homophobe and ally of a murderous dictator—will fight Adrien Broner—a somehow-even-more-washed occasional creep and an all-the-time dick. Broner was supposed to be the next big thing, but instead he’s lost and drawn h...
Kyrie Irving Called LeBron James To Apologize For Being A Young Butthead
The Boston Celtics prevented a bad week from becoming a disastrous one by beating the conference-leading Toronto Raptors last night. Kyrie Irving played particularly well, scoring 27 points and handing out 18 assists while making some big plays in the fourth quarter. The win must have had him feelin...
Teams Are Getting More And More Shameless About Defending The Rockets
The fun and frisky Brooklyn Nets deserve enormous credit for their overtime road win in Houston Wednesday night. Even with almost every useful non-Harden Rockets player either on the shelf or suddenly a member of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, that’s still an impressive outcome, especially on a night...
Bruce Arians Breaks Out The Dreaded "Diva" Label To Describe Antonio Brown
Bruce Arians was on the Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff back when the team selected Antonio Brown with the 195th pick of the 2010 draft, and Arians worked with Brown for two seasons before he was fired following the team’s Wild Card exit at the conclusion of the 2011 season. That connection was ...
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...
I Am Very Excited About The Freddie Kitchens Era
Freddie Kitchens beat out a host of strong candidates for the Browns’ head coaching job, including Joey Bathrooms, Bobby Closets, and, of course, Gregg Williams. ...
Snoop Dogg Should Call More Hockey Games
The L.A. Kings brought Snoop Dogg to a home game against the Penguins to drop the ceremonial first puck. Unlike most guests, however, he was allowed to call part of the game too. The results were about as delightfully on-brand as you’d expect....
The Broncos' Arrangement With Gary Kubiak Has Deteriorated Quickly
Two days after Gary Kubiak was tabbed as the next offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos, Gary Kubiak will not be the next offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos....
San Antonio Is Winning Because Teams Forgot How To Defend The Mid-Range
It looked like they would choke away the game of the year when Oklahoma City went supernova towards the end of the fourth quarter, but the San Antonio Spurs held on and knocked out one of their closest competitors in the Western Conference on Thursday night, in a 154-147 double overtime dreamscape....
The Thunder And Spurs Preview What The Second Half Has In Store For The Western Conference
If you missed Thursday night’s Thunder-Spurs game, you missed a doozy. It went to double overtime, and the teams combined for 301 total points, which made this the first 300-point NBA game since 2006. The superstar players were mostly fantastic, but there was enough time and room in the game for guy...
Great, The Steelers Are Going To Do This Whole Shit Again With Antonio Brown
The Pittsburgh Steelers spent a significant portion of their 2018 season alienating running back Le’Veon Bell for wanting job security, then the players who were there argued with each other, and then they had to hope for the Browns to win in order to get into the playoffs. (The Browns did not win.)...
Sergei Bobrovsky Sent Home By Blue Jackets After "Incident"
The Sergei Bobrovsky situation in Columbus has been a simmer, a slow-motion breakup. Bobrovsky, 30, has been one of the most consistent goalies over the last few years, and is a free agent this summer. He reportedly wants to be paid like the league’s elite netminders, and the Blue Jackets don’t seem...
Kyle Kuzma Is Making The Most Of His Chance To Lead The LeBron-Less Lakers
Every Lakers game without LeBron James is an adventure. Los Angeles is 3-5 since the King went down on Christmas Day, and they’ve looked like three-day-old trash at times—they even lost to the Knicks. ...
