Sage Northcutt Takes Dark Turn, Beats Ass Of Houston Rockets Mascot
We’ve finally found something that can turn Sage Northcutt, once an innocent apple-ripping MMA-fighting puppy dog, into a ruthless assassin: Mascots....
Shaq Looked Like He Really Wanted To Punch Charles Barkley In The Face
Last night’s edition of Inside The NBA featured a lengthy segment on the great LeBron-Barkley beef of 2017. You don’t need to watch the whole thing—unless you want to see Charles Barkley deploy the “I’m not mad, this is actually funny to me” defense unironically, which, now that I think about it, is...
Report: Jordan Farmar Floated To The Top Of The Toilet Bowl
On Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers went about sorting through a bunch of crap in an attempt to find LeBron James a reliable playmaker who can come off the bench. The tryout was attended by the likes of Lance Stephenson, Kirk Hinrich, and Mario Chalmers, but according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the...

Tim Hardaway Jr. Went Bonkers And Outdueled James Harden
With just over eight minutes left tonight, the Houston Rockets held a 20-point led over the Atlanta Hawks. James Harden was cooking and scoring from wherever he wanted and his fearsome arsenal of shooters were doing their thing. Teams with the best player on the court playing at home against a team ...

Gregg Popovich Gave An Insightful Monologue On White Privilege And Black History Month
The San Antonio Spurs are putting together another excellent season that is flying completely under the radar. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, however, has spent the year righteously fired up about the spate of horrific things that have befallen our country and he’s given speech after speech before game...

Look At These Wonderful Gifts JaVale McGee Got For His Teammates
Deadspin favorite JaVale McGee has found himself a productive and comfortable place on the Warriors’ bench. In addition to providing the team with some dunks and rebounds in his short minutes, he’s also giving solid gifts....
Steph Curry Is Steph Curry Again
It had been something of a down year for Steph Curry—at least a “down year” by the standards of a two-time reigning MVP. His shooting numbers weren’t quite there, and Kevin Durant had assumed the mantle as the Warriors’ biggest threat. Well, Curry hasn’t had to answer any questions about a slump sin...
Whatever Works, Man
The whole Curry family is having a good night....
Isaiah Thomas Is The Fourth-Quarter King
He’s only 5-foot-9, but there’s nobody more terrifying in the fourth quarter than Isaiah Thomas. The Bogues-ian Celtics all-star has scored 15 or more points in the 10 fourth quarters this year, twice as many as any other player. He’s averaging 10.5 points in the fourth quarter this year. To put tha...
Dell Curry's Still Got It
Hey man, if you’re going to ping your dad while he’s warming up for work, you better be ready for him to hit a three in your face....
Goodness, This Blake Griffin Pass
Blake Griffin just returned from a lengthy injury layoff to recover from knee surgery, and it appears that he’s been antsy to get back. He went all And-1 to scoot this pass in to J.J. Redick in the first quarter tonight, and thankfully, Redick hit the layup....
Hmm, I Guess Maybe The Wizards Are Good Or Whatever
The Washington Wizards struggled through most of the first half of last night’s home game against the extremely shitty New York Knicks. If you’ve followed the Wizards at all in ... well, ever, then it was the type of game you’re used to seeing them piss away (or, sometimes even more maddeningly, to ...
Former Refugee Luol Deng Speaks On Trump's Muslim Ban: "That Light Is Turned Off"
Lakers forward Luol Deng was born in what is now South Sudan, and had to flee the country during the Second Sudanese Civil War. He and his family became refugees in Egypt, where they waited for five years before being allowed to emigrate to the United Kingdom. After last night’s game against the Nug...
Kyle Lowry Reminded Everyone That He's Still Good As Hell
The Raptors came into tonight’s game with the suddenly competent Pelicans on a 1-6 skid. One of those losses was to Philadelphia and three of were by two points or fewer, which probably makes a frustrating stretch feel even worse. The timing is especially bad since the swoon came when Cleveland was ...
This Is The Only Dion Waiters Quo—Wait A Second
Considering green-light incarnate Dion Waiters drained a pair of game-winners in the past week, it seems natural that the human heat check would be feeling himself a little bit. After putting both the Warriors and the Nets in the garbage and averaging 22.4 points over his last five games, the Miami ...
Dwyane Wade Is Also Sick Of Charles Barkley's Shit
Last night, LeBron James finally began to retaliate against his round, mumbling harasser, Charles Barkley. This came as a balm to any LeBron fan who’d been exposed to Chuck’s cattle-prod takes on Inside the NBA, which abandon even the veneer of basketball analysis in favor of ahistorical trolling. A...
LeBron Will Find His Extra Playmaker In The Toilet
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost again last night, to the shit-ass Dallas Mavericks, dropping to 7-8 in January. LeBron’s fed up! With Charles Barkley, for one thing, but also and more importantly, with not having any reliable playmakers on the bench who can take some pressure off of him and Kyrie Irvin...
