Maybe Now The Cavs Can Just Let LeBron Cook?
The Cavs did well at the trade deadline, shipping off several of their worst defensive players and returning a group of guys who seem better suited to playing alongside LeBron, for however long he’ll be around. LeBron himself said the changes “should be fun,” which probably means nothing but certain...
The Cavs Are Getting Pretty Much Everyone The Fuck Out Of Here<em></em>
Not only have the Cavaliers given Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye the boot today, but they’re now trading four more players.

After just 15 games as an active member of the Cavaliers, Isaiah Thomas is on his way out of Cleveland.

LeBron Puts Together Goddamn Ridiculous Final 30 Seconds For Cavaliers Win
Tonight’s Timberwolves-Cavaliers game was stupidly fun on several fronts—an NBA record 40 three-pointers, for one thing; a total of 34 lead changes, for another—but the fact that it ended with an insane series of LeBron James plays, each more dazzling than the last, was maybe the most fun of all. ...
Paul George Is Everything The Thunder Need Him To Be
Last night, the Thunder traveled to Oakland and were the best version of themselves, a team that overwhelms and antagonizes the opponent while producing bushels of cool-ass highlights. If you’re into Warriors schadenfreude then you probably relished Draymond Green getting ejected for yelling a whol...
A Tearful Dustin Brown Retires From Match After Back Injury
Germany’s Dustin Brown, the wackiest motherfucker in tennis, was only three points away from winning his first-round match at Montpellier against Nicolas Mahut when a crafty one-handed, backhand passing shot appeared to cause his back to seize up.

The Cavs Are In A Very Dark Place
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who stink real bad, lost to the Rockets in embarrassing fashion last night, by a score of 120-88. A 32-point blowout on national TV is about as bad as it gets, and the Cavs gave no indication that they are in any kind of shape to dig themselves out of this hole....

Appalachian State Tennis Player Suspended After Being Accused Of Directing Derogatory Comment At Black Opponent
This past weekend was supposed to be little more than a warm-up for Appalachian State’s men’s tennis team. Facing Lees-McRae and North Carolina A&T, one of North Carolina’s storied HBCUs, the home match was one of those early-season contests the Mountaineers scheduled against low-tier local program...

Philly Columnist Puts Out Some Incomprehensible Shit About Aaron Hernandez And The Patriots
Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been dead for nearly a year. He’s been out of the NFL since 2012, was put away for life in 2015, and realistically, the time to litigate Aaron Hernandez has long since passed. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Bob Brookover disagrees....

Russell Westbrook Mistakenly Thought He Was Picked Last In The All-Star Draft, So He Went Out And Scored 46 Points
Russell Westbrook went off last night, scoring 46 points and adding six boards and six assists in the Thunder’s 121-112 victory over the Wizards. Westbrook, it seems, was playing angry. And his teammates appear to have been happy not to disabuse him of his motivation....
