Luis Scola Wins Game By Inbounding The Ball Off Paul Pierce's Ass
Depending on your point of view, this is a pretty brilliant way to end the game. With .4 seconds left, the Pacers had possession at midcourt and a slim 97-96 lead.

Tracy McGrady Wants To Play Baseball
During last night's near-unwatchable Thunder-Nets game, Jeff Van Gundy dropped some interesting news about Tracy McGrady.

Drunk Dude Sings Lil Jon's "Get Low" On D.C. Metro
This is fantastic. This hammered dude belts out a few lines from Lil Jon's "Get Low" while rocking back and forth in his Metro seat, setting off little impromptu sing-along in the car. After the initial flurry, he goes silent for a good two minutes. And then:...

Brooklyn Nets Hold Kevin Durant To Just 26 Points
And Scott Brooks held Durant to just 3o minutes. Still, everyone in Brooklyn, even the Nets, watched Kevin Durant in awe. Minus context, his line—26 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists—sounds just OK. His numbers in Brooklyn were not nearly as impressive as they had been during the 12-game streak where...
