LeBron James’s regular season is over. He came out of the game after the third quarter, with the Cavs up 15 on Atlanta in an eventual 109-94 win, and now that Cleveland has clinched the No. 1 seed in the East, James and the rest of the starters will sit out Wednesday’s finale.

Steve Kerr Wants To Rest The Warriors, But The Players Don't Want To Sit
So that’s one question answered. With last night’s surprisingly handy 112-101 win over the Spurs, the Warriors have now clinched the top seed in the West and home-court advantage for as long as they’re still playing.

The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa.

The Cavaliers' Head Coach Might Have A Mutiny On His Hands
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach LeBron James was typically hands-on and vocal while leading his team to a loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.

These Tweets During Last Night's Mavericks Game Are Probably Going To Cost Mark Cuban Some Money
Mark Cuban complains about everything all the time, which makes him a lovable rogue among boring owners sometimes, and also makes him pretty damn insufferable other times.

Madison Bumgarner’s on-mound demeanor could be described using many different words; I’ll go with “cantankerous,” but depending upon your perspective anything from “fired-up” to “dickish” can be appropriate. So when Jason Heyward stood around seemingly staring at Bumgarner after taking a called thir...
Oh, This'll Really Reassure People That The Browns Have Turned Things Around
Robert Griffin III is a Brown. (As he was, on some level, always destined to be.) The Browns’ football people, especially head coach Hue Jackson, apparently loved what they saw from Griffin in a workout last week. A workout that was attended by shitbag owner Jimmy Haslam. We now learn, from this NFL...
LeBron James Can't Do It All Himself
The team with the best record in the East got rolled in the fourth quarter by the team with the second-worst, and if it’s not quite time for the Cavaliers to panic, it’s well past time to worry about a roster that seems primed to fail at any time....
