J.R. Smith Is Quite Possibly Too Real
J.R. Smith is a gift. Not only did we receive his 28-point, 8-of-12-from-downtown night in the Cavs’ Game 1 win, but we got to hear him talk about it. And there’s nothing quite like J.R. Smith explaining what he does....
DeMarre Carroll's Knee Is Going To Be Okay

Kyle Korver Just Wants To Live, Man
One of the fun things about LeBron James is that he is so impossibly big, fast, and strong that he can turn a crunch-time possession in a playoff game, one which his opponents desperately needed to end with a stop, into a basic fight-or-flight situation....
Tonight Was The Good Kind Of J.R. Smith Game
Tonight was a J.R. Smith Game. That is a terrifying sentence to read for anybody who has ever been a fan of a team that J.R. Smith played for. A J.R. Smith Game is one in which he does something inexplicably stupid, like elbowing somebody in the head. A J.R. Smith Game is one in which he plays terri...
Who Needs Hitting When You've Got Corey Kluber And Chris Sale?
Chris Sale and Corey Kluber pitched against each other last night, and they each turned in performances that lived up to the Best Pitching Matchup of The Week billing that games featuring two great starters always get but often fail to live up to. In fact, Kluber vs. Sale represented everything that...

Corey Kluber Takes No-Hitter Into The 7th, Fans 18

There's Still Nothing Quite Like A LeBron James Chasedown Block
Watching LeBron James suplex the Bulls last night felt like bumping into an old friend. He does this at least once every postseason, but the first big LeBron Game of the summer is always a pleasant reminder of just what the greatest player in the world is really capable of. Hey guys, LeBron is here,...
J.R. Smith: LeBron Is "The Real MVP"
You expect guys to stump for their teammates for MVP. (Except if it’s Kevin Love being asked.) But J.R. Smith went above and beyond with his praise for LeBron James, declaring his Cavs teammates “the real MVP,” and positing that James should probably win the award every season. ...

Kendrick Perkins, With The Classic Nine-Step Move
NBA truthers, this is your moment. Kendrick Perkins’s shuffle is your chance to say “He traveled,” and not be seen as a joyless penis. No one will hate you. Well, they probably still will, but not to the usual degree. ...

One of the most endearing things about Joakim Noah is his continued insistence on just not having it with LeBron James and whatever team James happens to be on. There was the time he called out James for his dancing in the middle of a game, the time he called the Heat “Hollywood as hell,” and there...
David Blatt Just Stands There Like A Buster And Parrots LeBron's Calls
ESPN NBA writer Brian Windhorst, who is as connected to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers as any reporter can be, was a guest on Bill Simmons's latest podcast, and he dropped some juicy stuff about the various melodramas that have been hanging over the team all season. The whole thing is wo...
Browns Fined And GM Suspended For Being Supremely Dysfunctional
Because it's only like the 16th most interesting thing to happen to the Browns in the last year, and because the Falcons are being punished—more harshly—at the exact same time, this latest Cleveland mini-fiasco threatens to fly under the radar. Do not let it. It's a perfect example of the team bein...
