The Cavs And Warriors Flexed On The NBA Last Night
Part of the fun of paying close attention to the early part of the NBA season is picking out the trends and performances you didn’t quite see coming. This part of the year is all about asking questions like, Whoa, Kristaps is a star now and the Knicks might be pretty good? and Wait, can the Clippers...
Actual Body Expert Says Draymond Green's Excuses For Balls-Kicking Don't Hold Up
Draymond Green, whose feet regularly find the sensitive fleshy bits between his opponents’ legs, has taken a pretty self-righteous tack in his response to critics: Green says the people who make the rules for the NBA just don’t get how human bodies work....
Liberals Cheering On The Electoral College Dope Who Won't Vote For Donald Trump Is Really Frightening
Last night, the New York Times published an editorial written by Christopher Surpun, a “Republican presidential elector” from Texas who says that he will not cast his electoral college vote for Donald Trump, despite Trump winning the state by nine points. Surpun doesn’t say who he will vote for, but...

This Is How The Warriors Will Destroy The World
In three seconds: two passes thrown, roughly 72 feet of hardwood spanned, zero dribbles taken, and suddenly Kevin Durant has yammed it hard. This season we’ve been blessed by frequent instances of Russ and Giannis singlehandedly wrecking shit on the run, but this, um, heartwarming display of teamwor...
The Nationals Are All-In On Chris Sale
From multiple media reports, the Nationals appear to be the team most likely to land White Sox ace Chris Sale in a trade this offseason—possibly as soon as this week’s Winter Meetings. The only thing that might scuttle the deal? If the Nats get Andrew McCutchen instead....
Klay Thompson's 60-Point Night Was All Too Easy
What was most striking about Klay Thompson’s 60-point beatdown of the Indiana Pacers tonight was how easy it all was. The Warriors already had one of the best offenses in NBA history last season and they replaced their worst starter with a former MVP during the offseason, so the amount of available ...
Klay Thompson Just Dropped 40 Points In A Half
The Warriors are on pace to finish the season with the best offensive efficiency in NBA history, thanks primarily to the pyrotechnical shooting prowess of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. Klay Thompson started the season out slowly, but tonight he broke all the way out and scored 40 points in the first...
That's Not Meyers Leonard's Name, Bulls PA Guy
The Portland Hale Blazers are playing their only game of the year in Chicago tonight, so the odd mistake of nomenclature is forgivable. Meyers Leonard was misidentified as “Miles” (perhaps it was “Myles?”) tonight and he loudly offered a correction....
Here's A Guy Scoring On A 65-Yard Volley
Universidad de Concepción beat O’Higgins 3-1 today in Chile’s Primera division, with the final goal being this stoppage-time screamer by Alejandro Camargo—a 65-yard volley that left O’Higgins keeper Miguel Pinto looking awfully foolish....

Oregon To Investigate Athletic Department For Response To Reports Of Violence By Football Player Pharaoh Brown
The University of Oregon’s president has called for an investigation of “free-speech policy violations” by the school’s athletic department—two weeks after department officials threatened to pull credentials from the student newspaper for an article on reported acts of violence by a football player....

Broken Tiger Woods Now Reassembled For Golf Functionality
Not long ago, noted golf lecher Tiger Woods looked to be limping out of the game, his luminous career snuffed out by the back injuries that required surgery in March. “My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be,” he said as recently as October, while...
Draymond Green Needs To Get A Grip
Last night’s double-overtime game between the Rockets and Warriors was perhaps the most entertaining game of the season so far. The level of star power, shot-making, and end-to-end intensity made this one feel like a playoff game that had been transported to December, and that feeling was particular...
This Was A Hell Of A Sequence From Kevin Durant
The Rockets are up at halftime against the Warriors thanks to some strong shooting and rebounding, but Kevin Durant has been fantastic for Golden State. This sequence here was particularly great. First, he easily swatted Clint Capela, a center, then ran down the floor and made this silly pass to Dra...
Charles Barkley Doesn't Like How The Warriors Play "Little Girly Basketball"
Charles Barkley’s role on Inside the NBA is to spout unfiltered takes and tell viewers how the NBA is stupid now because nobody punches each other. Occasionally he lays down a good take but, more often than not, he grumbles out crotchety opinions about back in the day and straddles the border betwee...
Oakland Public Ethics Official Accuses Bay Area Politicans Of Abusing Free Warriors Tickets
Just before the NBA season started, the San Jose Mercury News reported that several Bay Area politicians had been abusing their access to Warriors tickets, using them to grease political wheels and pay off personal debts. The stadiums that the Warriors, A’s, and Raiders play in have clauses in their...
