Jamal Crawford got himself into a duel with Kevin Durant yesterday, answering KD's 42 points with an incredibly efficient 36 of his own on 13-20 shooting. But Crawford didn't just flex his genius on the court, he also proved that his memory is just as sharp as his crossover....
NBC Edited Out 38% Of The Closing Ceremony. Here's What You Missed.
It's no secret NBC makes significant edits to its tape-delayed broadcasts of Olympic ceremonies. We've never seen them leave out as much as they did last night, though, in excising more than 50 minutes from an already brisk Sochi closing ceremony; that left U.S. viewers seeing less than 62% of the e...

Here's How You Know These Aren't Your Father's Celtics And Lakers
At 19-37, only the Sixers, Bucks and Magic are worse than the Celtics in the East.

Clippers Throttling 76ers; Here's An Example Of Their Brutal Nature
It's halftime at Staples Center, where the Clippers are having their way with the 76ers 69-30. It could be worse; they were up 52-15 early in the second quarter. The L.A. weapon of destruction has been, as always, the lob—though a completely inept Philadelphia squad has been a willing participant in...
Steve Nash, At 40 Years Old, Can Still Shake You Out Of Your Shoes
Steve Nash turned 40 last night and had a pretty solid game for the Lakers in a 112-98 win over the 76ers. He had 19 points, five assists and four rebounds. Most importantly, he let (25-year-old) Evan Turner shift his focus to offense when he caught him leaning on this behind-the-back cut to the ba...

Rams Owner Buys Stadium-Sized Site In Los Angeles
There have been so many rumors and pie-in-the-sky dreams about a Los Angeles football stadium that we won't believe it's happening until they actually cut the ribbon. But so far, nothing has come to nothing because those dreams were held by rich men hoping to lure an NFL team to L.A. This one's diff...
