C.J. McCollum Gets Into Mild Online Spat With Recent Podcast Guest Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant—who joined the Warriors after squandering a 3-1 lead over them in the Western Conference Finals and also cultivated burner accounts to defend himself online—went on his friend C.J. McCollum’s podcast to dispense giggling wisdom such as, “Just keep playing man, don’t worry about what goe...
C.J. McCollum Got Tormented By Kevin Durant On His Own Podcast
Behold: a conversation between two NBA players in which Kevin Durant somehow does not emerge as the whingy and corny one. On today’s episode of his Pull Up podcast, C.J. McCollum speaks honestly about his frustrations with DeMarcus Cousins’s move to the Warriors, only to open himself up to a blister...
Why Didn't The Rockets Use Their Mid-Level Exception On Luc Mbah A Moute?
Luc Mbah a Moute is leaving the Rockets. And, to use one of the more cursed sentences in the English language, he’s going to be a Clipper. The former Houston forward signed an artificially deflated one-year, $4.3 million contract with the L.A. team that doesn’t have LeBron, in a deal that the Rocket...
Oh Come On, The Lakers Passed On DeMarcus Cousins?
It’s undeniably wack that the Warriors, with the signing of DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year, $5.3 million deal on Monday night, have managed to assemble an entire starting five that, when healthy, could run the Eastern Conference All-Stars off the court. But what makes the earthquake of the Cousins s...
This Is Wack
Maybe your first thought was of the insanely overpowered Boogie-Draymond-Durant-Klay-Steph lineup the Golden State Warriors now can assemble, and of what never-before-seen levels of basketball excellence that group could unlock together. Mine was. But neither of us will ever see that....
DeMarcus Cousins Says He Had No Other Offers
The one thing everyone wants to know when an NBA free agent lands at an unexpected destination for a bargain price is simple: They want to know how the hell it happened....
Dear God, DeMarcus Cousins Is Signing With The Warriors
If any Warriors fans were the least bit scared of a LeBron-led Lakers squad, they probably don’t have to be anymore. Multiple outlets are reporting that New Orleans Pelicans beast DeMarcus Cousins is heading to Golden State, signing a contract for considerably less money than he’s worth (despite his...
Klay Thompson Gets Owned In China, This Time By A Sharpshooting Little Girl
Klay Thompson is once again doing a tour of China, the country where he seems to get sapped of all his basketball-playing ability. While he hasn’t appeared to have humiliated himself dunking, after his very sad attempt last year, this time Thompson got owned at his chosen speciality—shooting....
Very Chill Rockets Fans Are Already Leaving One-Star Reviews For Ayesha Curry's New Restaurant<em></em>
Celebrity chef Ayesha Curry, wife of the Golden State Warriors’ Steph, is opening a second location in Houston this July for her and Michael Mina’s BBQ restaurant International Smoke. For Curry, the new location must represent a good opportunity to expand her business. But if you’re a Rockets fan st...
Nick Young Was Just Joshing When He Said Everybody Should Do Cocaine
As a shoot-first, think-second gunner off the Warriors’ bench, Nick Young is already the closest thing the NBA has to a human line of cocaine. But when Swaggy P calls for the legalization of coke on a TMZ camera while leaving the club on a Tuesday night, he wants y’all to know he’s just kidding....
NBA Auctions Off What J.R. Smith Wore When He Lost What Was Left Of His Dignity
A token of J.R. Smith’s eternal shame is up for sale on the NBA’s auction site. “He played 38 minutes and registered 10 points with 2 assists and 6 rebounds,” reads the very charitable caption. In some sense, this is the greatest piece of LeBron James memorabilia that money could buy....
Beer For Herbs Calls Itself "Lebron Tears"
An undeniable spoil of victory is the unassailable right to talk mad shit about your vanquished foes, forever, no matter their prominence nor how splendidly they performed. The Warriors are very good at this, as in the case of Draymond Green using t-shirts to mock LeBron James after each of the last...
It Seems Like Draymond Green Truly Dislikes Tristan Thompson
It is not uncommon to see two NBA players who just spent a game or even an entire series scrapping and talking wild shit to each other suddenly shaking hands and hugging once the buzzer goes off. It’s a particular quirk of the NBA, a league in which guys can say truly vile things during the game and...
Jordan Bell Might Be The Drunkest Golden State Warrior
In the immediate aftermath of Game 4, Warriors rookie Jordan Bell wielded two bottles of celebratory champagne. These were the results:...
Draymond Green Has Once Again Mocked LeBron James With His Championship Parade T-Shirt
When the Warriors took to the streets of Oakland a year ago to celebrate their championship, Draymond Green marked the occasion by donning a “Quickie” t-shirt featuring the logo from the Cavs arena. There’s a long history of sartorial beef between the Warriors and the Cavs, and highlights from the o...
Listen, It's The Offseason Now So We're Going To Talk About This Dumb Basketball Idea
A galaxy-brained NBA Reddit user posed a reasonable question this morning: Why can’t four Golden State Warriors link arms in a circle around Steph Curry, so that no defenders can get near him to contest his shot?...
We Now Live In A World Where Nick Young Is An NBA Champion
It was otherwise a shitty, forgettable NBA Finals series, but at least it produced this fascinating outcome: Nick Young (!) joins fellow Cinnamon Challenge hero and former Wizards knucklehead JaVale McGee (!!) as an NBA champion. The sheer improbability of Nick Young finding a role on a championship...
Thank God That's Over
Man, Game 4 sucked. Just as a basketball exhibition, it sucked, in exactly the way that all blowouts suck, before we even get to the part where it was an elimination game in the NBA Finals. However valiantly the Cavs fought earlier in the series, Game 4 made clear just what a ghastly, hilariously lo...
The Cavs Made The Right Adjustment
It was the third quarter, and the Warriors, already ahead on the scoreboard and up 3-0 in the series, were doing their third-quarter thing. That is to say, they’d decided to apply the 12 minutes of focused full-bore effort it takes to render them effectively invincible. A game they’d led steadily pr...
Warriors Heroically Overcome Jeff Green, George Hill, & Rodney Hood To Claim NBA Title
Despite facing a Cavaliers superteam of NBA legends like José Calderón, Cedi Osman, and George Hill, the Golden State Warriors fought their way past the odds to claim their third league title in the past four years and their sixth overall with a 108-85 win. ...
