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...
James Harden And Clint Capela Are Here To Bless Us With Alley-Oops
Clint Capela is a passable basketball player. But he is very, very nice to pass to if you are the new point guard incarnation of James Harden. You might be surprised to see the third-year center elbow out DeAndre Jordan and—much more to the point—Dwight Howard for the highest field goal percentage i...

The Texans Are Steamed Over Some Questionable Officiating

Houston Is Destroying Fifth-Ranked Louisville Thanks To Some Insane Plays
Louisville came into this evening’s game with Houston with a decent chance of making the playoff. Even if Alabama and Clemson win out, all they had to do was win out and inevitably leapfrog the loser of the Ohio State-Michigan game. Instead, they are in the process of getting turned into jelly by th...
James Harden Is Free To Be Great
The Houston Rockets, while in the final throes of the failed partnership between James Harden and Dwight Howard, transformed from a contender into one of the saddest-ass teams in the NBA last year.

Fast Break Reinvented
One time I was playing basketball and I fell and my shorts came off somehow. That’s about as bad as what happened to Sam Dekker here, or more accurately, what Sam Dekker did to himself....
Will You Remember Andre Johnson?
Yesterday afternoon, Andre Johnson walked away from the NFL. It’s the second such abrupt retirement by a one-time star of the Houston Texans who was living out the twilight of his career with a downtrodden franchise, and like Arian Foster, Johnson was, at best, a bit player on his new team in Tennes...

Texans right tackle Derek Newton sustained one of the worst injures you possibly could this evening, when he tore both the patellar tendon on both of his knees.

The Colts Ended A Dumb Streak In A Dumb Way
Who was the last Indianapolis Colts player to have at least 100 rushing yards in one game? Just kidding, there’s absolutely no reason to know that, but it was Vick Ballard in Week 15 of the 2012 season. Last night, Frank Gore finally snapped the streak. Then unsnapped it. Then resnapped it....
