CBS Reports Kevin Durant Signs With Warriors, Is Probably Full Of Shit<em></em>
Kevin Durant has agreed to a max deal with the Golden State Warriors, according to a CBS Sports report this morning that either features people broadcasting from the future or reporting a story before it actually happened....
Shut Up, Joe Lacob
The Warriors spent all season strutting around the NBA with their chests puffed out, telling anyone who would listen that they were better than the elite teams of the past, were horny for trophies, and had successfully re-engineered basketball from the circuits up to create a new, unforeseen way of ...
The Warriors, Uh, Reportedly Want Dirk Nowitzki
The NBA Finals have come and gone, and it’s now officially NBA silly season, a wonderful time for fake trades to surface, GMs to draft mysterious Surinamese power forwards, and outlandish free agency plots to bloom and die. If you’re a fan of a dogshit team, this is your Christmas. Your team is tota...
Draymond Green Was So Damn Good Last Night
Glancing at a box score from last night’s game, it is actually sort of incredible that the Warriors only lost by four. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for just 31 points on a ghastly 36 shots, Harrison Barnes was 3-of-10, and the injured Andrew Bogut didn’t play. And then you get to Draymon...
LeBron Had More Important Things To Do With His Shirt And Hat Than To Promote Nike
Yes, J.R. Smith is still shirtless from his night in Vegas, but look away from his booze-glazed torso for a second and focus on LeBron James. Here’s the hero of the Finals, at the moment he literally brings home the trophy Cleveland has been awaiting since before he was born. And he’s wearing—well, ...
Warriors Fans Are Herbs
I’ve been thinking about this all season long, and now that it’s over it’s just time to say it: Warriors fans are herbs....
Kyrie Irving Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night
For as nearly as basketball realizes the ideals of an individual sport—due to the outsized impact a single transcendent player can have on his team’s fortunes and the fact that opposing greats can and often do line up right across from each other to test the potency of their powers in direct opposit...
Kevin Love Is A Goddamn Hero
The Warriors knew exactly which matchup they wanted, after Kyrie went Steph in Steph’s face to put the Cavaliers up three with less than a minute to play in last night’s mind-blowing Game 7. They didn’t call a timeout to talk about it. They didn’t give Tyronn Lue a chance to make a substitution. The...
The Golden State Warriors Were Finally Figured Out
Over the past two seasons, Golden State had both a gear no other team possessed, and destructive weapons no other team could stop. But increasingly throughout the playoffs, and especially during Game 7, the Warriors couldn’t find them....
Hey Warriors, You Are Choking Shitbags
Today is Cleveland’s day, and I join with the rest of America in obnoxiously glomming onto the city’s moment even though I don’t deserve to. (In fact, I have spent much of the past decade joyously shitting on Cleveland for its miseries … but really, I’m so happy for you now!) Last night was one of t...
What Sporting Event Not Involving Your Team Made You The Happiest?
I’m still high off basketball. Last night I felt like I was on drugs, alternately near tears and euphoric. I think I slept with a huge grin on my face. This is weird, because I do not care about the Cavaliers in the least....
The Moments Mean Everything
It could not have been a better ending, and it could not have been a more incredible path to get there. This is the stuff sports movies are made of, only no movie could possibly provide enough backstory, enough pathos to make the Cavaliers’ championship mean what it does; only real life can give pro...
Stephen A. Smith Thinks Ayesha Curry Should Act More Like LeBron's Wife, And Be Quiet
Stephen A. Smith has weighed in on Ayesha Curry’s thoughts on the NBA being rigged. The First Take goon called her classless and said she shouldn’t bring attention to herself....
The Warriors Played Like Dunderheads, And Why Not? It Usually Works.
Every team has bad habits and bad patterns of play into which they frequently fall due to their specific makeup. The Golden State Warriors are hardly exempt from this; what makes them nearly unique is that their bad habits are the exact same thing that makes them great. Most of the time this is fine...
Tristan Thompson Is The Cavs' Secret Weapon
Whether they win Game 7 or turn back into pumpkins on Sunday, the Cleveland Cavaliers have already put in a better effort than they did in last year’s Finals. Even though they got extinguished like a bug against a fly zapper in the series’ opening games in Oakland, they’re back again for Game 7 with...
Eleven Very Important Takes About The Golden State Warriors
1. They are not the best team ever....
The Currys Snapped, Just Like Everyone Else
After he got his sixth foul and ended his Game 6 early Thursday night, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry lost his shit. A few minutes later, his wife Ayesha Curry lost hers....
The NBA Finals Have Blessed Us With Dank Memes
LeBron James and the Cavs just dunked all over Steph Curry and the Warriors, providing the fuel to run a thousand take machines for a century. While the games in the NBA Finals have been lopsided, the bizarre subplots—Draymond’s dick and balls violence, LeBron’s utter dominance, Steph Curry’s terrib...
LeBron James Is Omnipotent
Shortly after Steph Curry left the floor, grinning in embarrassment over getting ejected, LeBron James shot a pair of free throws to deafening “MVP!” chants. He is not, of course, the MVP of this 2016 season, but make no mistake: He is very much still the best player in the NBA, and after a glorious...
