Paul George And Russell Westbrook Got Double Triple-Doubles
How is it possible to notch an NBA-record 10th straight triple-double and still not be the wildest spectacle on your own team? Such is the mild plight of Russell Westbrook, stuffing the box score in the shadow of his happiest-ever co-star, Paul George. Westbrook’s 21-point, 11-assist, 14-rebound lin...
The Stove Is So Cold That Now We Have To Entertain The Padres
Baseball’s hot stove should have burned bright and hot and then shut off by this point in the offseason, given that there are less than two weeks to go until spring training. Instead, the free agent process is all but guaranteed to trudge on through February, as solid potential additions including D...

It Should Still Be News When LeBron James Wants A Coach Fired
As LeBron James looks to return to the court after a prolonged absence because of a groin injury, those closest to him are looking for someone other than Luke Walton to be the head coach of the Lakers.

Steven Adams Unleashes World's Worst Euro-Step
Steven Adams is a big heavy metal-looking Kiwi monster who does cool basketball things all the time, and this season he’s played his way into serious All-Star consideration by being efficient as shit and co-anchoring one of the NBA’s best defenses. Mostly he’s stayed pretty chill through all this, b...
Russell Westbrook Beefed With So Many Blazers
The Thunder beat the Blazers 123-114 last night, and Russell Westbrook finished the game with a 29-14-10 triple-double on 9-of-20 shooting. Games in which Westbrook’s shooting percentage rises above 40 percent are rare these days, so this counted as a relatively hot shooting night, and an excuse for...
Russell Westbrook On If He And Joel Embiid Are Cool: "Fuck No"
Thunder-Sixers has become an inordinately frisky inter-conference rivalry. Last season’s two matchups were marked by relentless shit-talking and mockery on-court and online between Sixers center Joel Embiid and Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. A lot of waving goodbye was involved. The teams pl...

Report: Nick Saban Had No Clue His Assistant Left For A New Job
Nick Saban treats nearly everyone in his life with maximum contempt at all times. His own fans, the media, the college football playoff scheduling committee—everyone is a target for the Alabama head coach when he’s in a pissy mood, which is about 99 percent of the time. Saban rules by fear, and that...
Russell Westbrook's Unsteady Son Is A Very Good Sports Baby
Last night before the Oklahoma City Thunder’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell Westbrook warmed up with his (extremely well-dressed) son Noah. Noah isn’t even two yet and he’s already sprint-toddling down the court and lobbing shots into his dad’s makeshift hoop arms....
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...
The Manny Machado Sweepstakes Is Kind Of A Mess
It was not all that long ago that baseball people—smart, evenhanded baseball people—were wondering if Manny Machado would become MLB’s first $400-million man. Now we’re all wondering if he’s going to make that much more than Chris Davis....
Can Somebody Besides The White Sox Please Give Manny Machado An Offer?
MLB’s slow trudge towards the signing of top free agents Manny Machado and Bryce Harper may at last possibly be nearing a conclusion. It also may not be! But at the very least the speculation concerning those two stars’ final destinations seems to have narrowed dramatically. Unless any of the ubiqui...
Baseball Doesn't Need Collusion To Turn Off The Hot Stove
The baseball panic is rising. With every additional day that Bryce Harper and Manny Machado go unsigned—and Dallas Keuchel and Mike Moustakas and A.J. Pollock and Craig Kimbrel—the drumbeat strengthens: Something is wrong here. After all, as has been pointed out here, every team could use a Manny Ma...
We're Approaching The Endgame Of The Machado/Harper Negotiations
Depending on how much you’re willing to believe the reported rumors, there appear to now be clear frontrunners in what seems to be at best to be three-team races for top free agents Bryce Harper and Manny Machado....
Georgetown Freshmen Mac McClung And James Akinjo Come Up Clutch Against Providence
It took two extra periods of play for the Georgetown Hoyas to take down the Providence Friars this afternoon, 96-90.

San Antonio Is Winning Because Teams Forgot How To Defend The Mid-Range
It looked like they would choke away the game of the year when Oklahoma City went supernova towards the end of the fourth quarter, but the San Antonio Spurs held on and knocked out one of their closest competitors in the Western Conference on Thursday night, in a 154-147 double overtime dreamscape....
