Your NBA Finals Game 3 Open Thread
The adjective of the night is static. Russell Westbrook ain't changing. The Thunder ain't changing. Will these refusals to change, result in changes themselves? Or will the Heat remain true to form and blow the doors off the place early only to slowly bleed to death? That's why we watch and talk, d...

Yes, LeBron James Fouled Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant's shot with 10 seconds left to tie last night's NBA Finals Game 2 didn't drop, and now the series is tied 1-1.

Tonight No One Will Remember Hockey, Not Just Los Angeles

Here Are All Of LeBron's Unspectacular 45 Points
Watching a supercut of LeBron James's scores in last night's parquet floorwiping of the Celtics, you're struck at how rote it seems.

LeBron James Destroyed The Celtics To Force A Game 7 (And Got A Beer Dumped On Him)
Oh, this wasn't how it was supposed to be? LeBron James wasn't theoretically capable of delivering a devastatingly effective performance in Game 6 at the TD Garden? Fuck all that.

Dwyane Wade Copes With Brutal Game 5 Loss By Wearing Stupid Glasses
First it was Russell Westbrook, and now it's Dwyane Wade rocking a pair of glasses without lenses in the postgame locker room.
