The Clippers Didn't Have An Answer For Kevin Durant On Or Off The Court

Report: Pretty Much Everyone Is Sure Kevin Durant Is Heading To The Knicks
ESPN’s Ian Begley published a story today about the state of the New York Knicks on the eve of a potentially pivotal summer for the franchise.

There's A Lot Going On In This Jason Vargas Interview
Everyone’s eyes will naturally be drawn to the colonial-seeming fellow sliding into the background of Saturday’s postgame scrum for Mets pitcher Jason Vargas. Fine, that’s understandable. This blog will get to him shortly, but there are other things to appreciate here, too....
The Beef Between Kevin Durant And Patrick Beverley Will Make This Inevitable Warriors Sweep Fun As Hell

The State Of The Warriors On The Edge Of Unrest
If, as has been predicted with almost frightening certitude by anyone who has watched a basketball game since Zelmo Beaty roamed the earth, the Golden State Warriors tromp through yet another field of challengers and re-re-almost-repeat as NBA champions, you outworlders will be pleased to know that ...
Kevin Durant Gets Ejected, Calls Ref "Bitch-Ass Motherfucker" On The Way Out
Finally, we have a challenger for the Warriors. It’s not the two-seed Denver Nuggets, who Golden State pushed aside in a comfortable 116-102 win in Oakland last night, nor is it anyone out East.

Draymond Green Got Fined $35,000 For His Cryptic Subtweets

Steph Curry Taunts Ref After Incredible Buzzer-Beating Three, Warriors Lose Seconds Later On Weird Foul [Update]
After the Warriors leapt out to a 19-point third-quarter lead against the Wolves tonight, Minnesota responded with a nutty 50-22 run, only to falter at the end of regulation.

Dwyane Wade Sought Out A Rookie Who Idolized Him Growing Up To Swap Jerseys
The Dwyane Wade retirement tour has turned the end of every Miami Heat game this season into a guessing game of sorts: who will the outgoing No. 3 give his jersey to in the post-game? Sure, some are obvious: Of course he was going to trade with LeBron James in their last meeting back in December, or...
MLS Linesman Was The First Substitution Of The Game He Was Officiating
It’s not often that a referee is the first person to get subbed off in a soccer match, but that’s exactly what happened in the 33rd minute of the opening weekend game between Orlando City and NYCFC.

Warriors Beaten On Just The Most Busted, Chaotic Dwyane Wade Buzzer-Beater
The Heat beat the Warriors Wednesday night in Miami, 126–125, in an outrageously fun basketball game. The Heat led by as many as 24 points, but the Warriors, who very often cruise distractedly through big chunks of regular season games, roared back into it and had the lead in the final minute of reg...

Kyrie Irving Can't Possibly Be That Naive About How This Works
The latest in NBA Zapruder analysis is this seemingly benign clip of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant talking in a hallway during All-Star Weekend.

A <i>Fortnite </i>Epidemic Would Only Help The Knicks' Cause At This Point<em></em>

The Steelers Are Happy To Let Ben Roethlisberger Feel As Important As He Thinks He Is
The Steelers gleaned no lessons from the Le’Veon Bell fiasco, huh? Not only are they happy to let their relationship with receiver Antonio Brown wither away, but the front office has made sure to emphasize that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the only player above reproach. Take note, upcoming fre...
