How Will Your Team Screw Up In The NFL Draft?
When Drew Magary asks if you’re excited about something, the initial impulse is generally to say yes. The man is large and eager and highly excitable, and when he is excited the instinct is to be excited, too.

At this time of year, the cabal of anonymous NFL scouts loves nothing...
The Lakers Are Exhausted And Depleted And Probably Dead
It can seem a little cheesy and cherry-picked to focus much criticism on LeBron’s play-to-play effort for these fading Lakers. For one thing, this roster is a complete mess, and the team’s on-court chemistry is currently in the toilet, and everyone is screwing up all the time. For another, LeBron is...
DeMar DeRozan Was Cruelly Reminded That The Raptors Are Better Off Without Him
It’s not often that such an on-the-nose metaphor for an event that happened outside of a basketball court takes place in such a venue, but that’s exactly what happened in the dying embers of Toronto’s game against San Antonio on Friday night. ...

Lakers Recover Some Dignity With A Dramatic Road Win Over The Dreaded Celtics
As fun as it always is when the Celtics lose at home, it’s even more amusing when the loss is to their historic rivals from Los Angeles.

Kyler Murray Tries Very Hard Not To Talk About His NFL Future In Awkward Radio Interview
Oakland Athletics draft pick and NFL draft prospect Kyler Murray is in a precarious position, as he has to figure out whether he wants to choose to play baseball or football, or even some combination of the two.

The Young Lakers Are Fucking This Up
LeBron James went down with a groin injury way back on Christmas Day.

Kyle Korver Attempts To Inbound Airball, Laughs At His Own Goof
It’s open season on any clown shooting higher than 41 percent from three.

Good Things Can Happen When Lonzo Ball Is In Control
It’s no secret that the consensus on Lonzo Ball here is that he’s a bad young player. But in the Lakers 138-128 victory over the Thunder, he showed more than a few flashes of not being total ass, and might have proven to coach Luke Walton that the team’s best chance of surviving this LeBron-less per...
