RIP To Matthew Dellavedova And His Terrible, Beautiful Lob Passes
For a minute there, it looked like Matthew Dellavedova, little try-hard that he is, was going to become a Finals hero for the Cleveland Cavaliers. That didn’t really work out, but that’s not to say that Delly didn’t provide us with a great deal of entertainment, because oh man did this guy do some h...
Draymond Green Found His Cockiness And Saved The Warriors
Draymond Green certainly didn’t deserve to win the Finals MVP award (neither did Andre Iguodala, for that matter), but it’s hard to imagine the Warriors putting this series away without his resurgence, which began in Game 4 and ended with last night’s championship-clinching triple-double....
MVP Award Be Damned, These Were The LeBron Finals
This is a statistical accomplishment I honestly never considered was even possible: in the NBA Finals, LeBron James led all players on both teams in points, assists, and rebounds. That’s a Finals first—obviously—and in the first two categories, it wasn’t even close. The Warriors won as a team; the C...
J.R. Smith's End-Of-The-Season Handshakes Are Sadder On A Hoverboard
Look at this man, just slowly rolling through a crowded arena as he heads off to wherever he is going to spend the offseason. ...
The Golden State Warriors Are Your 2015 NBA Champions
This is the most sportswritery thing I’ll ever write, but all season long the Golden State Warriors won as a team. Sure, Stephen Curry was the MVP of the league, but he was far from a one man band. Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Bogut all won league-wide awards. After two stagnant season,...
WWE Trolls Cleveland With "You're Never Going To Win A Title" Promo
Reigning WWE heavyweight champ Seth Rollins poured on the heel-tastic mic skills tonight in Cleveland, taunting the crowd and telling them that neither LeBron James nor Johnny “Idiot-Face” Manziel—who was in attendance—would ever bring them a title....
Steph Curry Stinkface Shows He Always Chooses Luigi In <i>Mario Kart</i>
Stephen Curry brought some of the swagger back during last night’s Game 5 win against the Cavaliers, at one point delivering the stinkface following a fourth-quarter contested three-pointer—a shot that responded to LeBron’s long-range bomb seconds before, and one that gave the Warriors the lead for ...
Here Is Another Picture Of Timofey Mozgov For Us To Cherish
At first glance, this picture of Timofey Mozgov doesn’t seem like much. It’s from his Facebook page, and comes with the caption “With my Russian agents (ProTeam Agency). Before the game,” which doesn’t signal anything special, but then you notice Mozgov’s SpongeBob shirt. And then you remember that ...
LeBron James Is Confident "Because I’m The Best Player In The World"
If he was a pitcher throwing this absurd a number of innings or pitches, we’d fear he was going to blow his arm out. If he were a hockey player double-shifting constantly, we’d assume he’d be gassed and ineffective. If he were a running back being run into the ground, we’d worry about his career bei...
For The Undermanned Cavaliers, Fatigue Has Set In
What the hell else are the Cavaliers supposed to do? In Game 5 they conceded that the Warriors’s small ball unit was too good, and barely played Timofey Mozgov. LeBron James went off for a monster 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists (and only two turnovers). J.R. Smith finally (at least for awhil...
David Blatt Presser Accompanied By Weird, Porny Music
We have no idea what’s going on here, but viewers across the country heard it: porno groove music from the band Voodoo Village playing over the top of Cavaliers head coach David Blatt’s presser following his team’s Game 5 loss. ...
Shawn Marion's Ready To Go Whenever, Coach
Shawn Marion’s on the Cleveland Cavaliers. This might be news to anyone watching the playoffs, since the 37-year-old has logged 25 total minutes in the postseason, none of those coming in the Finals. Since the Cavs’ depth is so shallow, a new Brian Windhorst report asks, why not Marion?...
Who Was Andre Iguodala Trolling Last Night?
Andre Iguodala played a hell of a game last night, scoring 22 points as a key component of the Warriors’ deadly small-ball unit. He also sprinkled some not-so-subtle trolling into his performance late in the third quarter....
You Can Tell J.R. Smith's Mood By The Speed Of His Hoverboard
J.R. Smith got his new toy on Thursday. (It was a gift from Jamie Foxx. Seriously.) So he just had to roll into the arena on it. Luckily for us, that meant he had to roll out too....
Are The Warriors Just Too Deep For The Cavs? (Probably)
Even before Kyrie Irving was injured, the Cavaliers bench more closely resembled a basketball old folks home than something that could actually help a team in 2015. Kendrick Perkins? Brendan Haywood? Shawn Marion? Mike Miller? I’m not even sure who Joe Harris is....
Cleveland Weatherman Might Just Be Losing It, You Guys
Fresh off his bizarre antics a few days ago, WEWS chief meteorologist Mark Johnson turned his Cavaliers fandom up another notch on tonight’s late local news, as the ABC station’s weatherman brought a weed-whacker and a concrete block onto the set with him in reaction to tonight’s Cleveland loss. ...
Watch "Nature Boy" Ric Flair Attempt To Pump Up The Cleveland Crowd
On a day when we mourn the death of one of Ric Flair’s biggest rivals, the “Nature Boy” himself took the court during a first-half time out to try and pump up the crowd at Cleveland’s arena. He still has it... some of it. “WOOO!” ...
LeBron Cracks Head Open, Stays In Game
Despite falling into a camera and busting his head open, LeBron James managed to stay in tonight’s game. James’s head clearly sported some lacerations, but apparently owing to NBA rules he had no choice but to remain in the game and shoot his free throws....
Hey, Look: It's LeBron's Dick! (NSFW, Probably)
It sure appears ABC caught LeBron James making an adjustment just before tipoff of tonight’s Game 4:...
LeBron Has Been A Damned Statistical Marvel In The Finals
There’s a way to look at Steph Curry’s stat line as an artifact of not just box score accounting, but his style. If you look closely, there are traces of the visceral experience of watching Steph double axel around a screen and fire up a three from the hip in arcane statistical whimsy, like fast bre...
