If Only Kevin Durant Had Beaten The Shit Out Of Draymond Green

Patrick Beverley Mercilessly Taunts Warriors Fans After Clippers Ruin New Arena's Opening Night
Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers opened up the Warriors’ shiny new San Francisco arena by hanging 141 points on the hapless Dubs. That’s the most in almost a decade.

You Can’t Turn Steph Curry Into James Harden
Stephen Curry is one of the leading conduits of migraine headaches in modern American sports. That is to say, his name is invoked when migraines are inspired, which is correlation rather than causation....

Draymond Green was ostensibly talking about Marquese Chriss.

Steve Kerr Reminds Us Who The NBA's Unifying Powers Really Serve
“The world is a complex place and there’s more gray than black-and-white.” That is how Steve Kerr rationalized his refusal to comment on the not-actually-all-that-complex topic of the NBA bowing to the Chinese government’s rage over an American in America exercising of one of America’s most fundamen...
Andre Iguodala Before Being Traded To Memphis: "I'll Probably End Up In Memphis Or Some Shit"

Shaun Livingston Outlasted Everything
Given everything we know and can reasonably surmise about where the organization was and the people in charge of it, it seems safe to say that the Los Angeles Clippers didn’t have anything specific in mind when they drafted Shaun Livingston out of an Illinois high school with the fourth pick of the ...
Kevin Durant, In His Cheesiest Cheesebutt Voice: "Shit Happens"
Kevin Durant has a long, long way to go before he’s back on an NBA floor, and likely has far further to go before he’s anything like the player he was before he ruptured his Achilles tendon in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The circumstances that led to the catastrophic injury were highly suspect, but wh...

Back in 2005, Shaquille O’Neal thought no coach would ever match what Phil Jackson did with the Lakers between 2000 to 2004: guide a team to the Finals four out of five years. “It will never be done again,” Shaq said, promising to kiss the cheese-covered feet of any person that did it, on a TV show ...
It Appears That No One Wants DeMarcus Cousins

Bobby Portis Is A Lesson In The Cost Of Doing Business With Bad NBA Teams
A crappy side effect of the NBA’s salary cap is it’s usually better business for your favorite team to have a cheap good player than an expensive one, so you are conditioned to think of cheap contracts for good players as “good” and pricier contracts for comparable players as “bad.” Sticking with th...
