Mozgov Mozgovs Millsap
This is how bad it has gotten for the Hawks: they’re getting Mozgov’d by Mozgov on alley-oops. They’re down 17 at the half, and don’t show the faintest sign that they can comeback and win....
LeBron James Defeats Gravity
LeBron James announced his intention for there to be no Game 5 just three minutes into Game 4, grabbing a steal and flying past everybody for a monster dunk. The best angle comes 31 seconds into the video, or you can just check out the Vine below, where you can see James just rising and rising as he...
Bah Gawd! It's An Al Horford-The Rock People's Elbow Mashup!
After Al Horford’s ejection for dropping The People’s Elbow on Matthew Dellavedova last night, it was only a matter of time before we compiled every angle of Horford’s move and mixed it in with some vintage footage of The Rock. And, yes, there’s the usual presence of “J.R.” Jim Ross in there too....
LeBron Notches Triple-Double, Cavs Beat Hawks In Mostly Bad OT Game

Hawks star Al Horford earned a Flagrant 2 and ejection from the game for dropping an elbow on the Cavs’ Matthew Dellavedova late in the first half of tonight’s Eastern Conference Finals Game 3....
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
When Hawks small forward DeMarre Carroll buckled his right knee last night and spent the next few minutes writhing on the floor in agony, it sure as hell looked like the Hawks had just lost their best perimeter defender to a catastrophic knee injury. But today brings good news!...
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...
Kyrie Irving Has One Father, And It's Not LeBron James
Today’s adventure in hilarious interview exchanges comes via whoever asked Kyrie Irving what sort of “parental role” LeBron James plays with him (starting at the 1:04 mark). ...
Corey Kluber Takes No-Hitter Into The 7th, Fans 18
Corey Kluber was a very good pitcher last year. So good, in fact, that he won the American League Cy Young award, narrowly edging out Felix Hernandez. This season, though, has been a very different story. ...
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. ...
Report: Johnny Manziel Released From Rehab
After over two months spent at an inpatient rehab facility, Johnny Manziel has been released, according to ESPN. Manziel entered the Cleveland-area facility at the end of January, meaning he spent over two months in rehab, presumably (though never officially announced) to address his problems with a...
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. ...
Joakim Noah Will Always Be There To Shit-Talk LeBron James
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...
