What's Gotten Into Grim And Gritty Ricky Rubio?
Have you seen Ricky Rubio lately? This isn’t the jovial, dime-dropping Spaniard from way back when. This is a man who’s seen things, who’s learned things the hard way, who’s decided to take matters into his own hands. This is the gritty reboot of Ricky Rubio....

Lance Stephenson Slaps LeBron In The Dick And Balls
Cleveland must have experienced some bizarre time warp tonight, because it’s the year 2017, and the Pacers’ Lance Stephenson is still making life extremely unpleasant for LeBron James.

Kristaps Porzingis Is All Right
This feels like a weird thing to say given how much attention has been paid to Kristaps Porzingis since he entered the league two seasons ago, but we are just now starting to see what the big boy can do—not because he’s suddenly unearthed some skills we were previously unaware of, but because he’s f...
Carmelo Anthony Explains Why He Screams While Rebounding
Arriving on a new team must be tricky; you’ve got to get acclimated to new surroundings and personalities. Happily it took Carmelo Anthony roughly zero regular season games to get comfortable screaming, “Get the fuck out of here!” at his teammates while gathering rebounds....
The Cavaliers Stink!
Append all the ordinary caveats, of course: It’s October; they’re without Isaiah Thomas; they’re integrating what seems like a small army of new players; the East is so godawful shitty there’s basically no floor to playoff contention; and so on.

Pickle Some Stuff

Rick Pitino couldn’t believe his good fortune.

I Hope Dennis Smith Jr. Keeps Trying Big Dunks And Ruins Someone's Life
Dennis Smith Jr. is just 6-foot-2, but the audacious kind of 6-foot-2, the kind that wants to put the ball directly into the hoop no matter what bodies stand between him and it. There’s not a whole lot else going on in this Mavs roster, so it’s exhilarating when the rookie launches himself off the f...
