J.R. Smith Finishes Off Cavs' Historic <em></em>First-Half Blowout With Incredible Buzzer-Beater
Isaiah Thomas insisted yesterday that the Cavs are “not the Monstars.” A 72-31 first half decapitation sure would seem to disagree with his assessment.

I'm Still Laughing At That LeBron James Performance

After getting his first two buckets of the night by blowing right by Jae Crowder—exactly the kind of brawny forward people have spent years tricking themselves into...
Seems Like LeBron Is Ready For The Finals
LeBron James spent the first half of Game 1 destroying the Celtics. He was the best player on the court to such a comical degree, and watching him and the Cavs roll through the weak-ass Celtics was like watching an older sibling pull the “Stop hitting yourself!” routine.

Tiny Soccer Birthday Boy Is The Sports Highlight Of The Day
The accuracy of this tyke’s shot is obviously impressive as hell, but what I am here for is the taunting of the candle. This child is going to have a long and polarizing career, at least unless the candle comes back at him studs-up....

Rays’ Corey Dickerson Reaches Over Wall To Rob Homer
It looked like Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer hit a home run today against the Tampa Bay Rays. His long fly ball to left was slicing toward the foul pole and would’ve gone over the fence for a run, if not for outfielder Corey Dickerson reaching over the short fence to rob Hosmer....
