Kristaps Porzingis Helped Off Court After Ugly Knee Injury [UPDATED]

The Cavs Are In A Very Dark Place
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who stink real bad, lost to the Rockets in embarrassing fashion last night, by a score of 120-88. A 32-point blowout on national TV is about as bad as it gets, and the Cavs gave no indication that they are in any kind of shape to dig themselves out of this hole....

Blake Griffin Looked Extremely Worth It In His Pistons Debut
Despite barely knowing his new team’s offense, Blake Griffin’s Pistons debut went as well as he or Detroit could have hoped.

In this episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, Tom Ley and I try to find treasure in a pack of 1990 Fleer basketball cards.

For Horrific Injuries, The Image Is The Story
Suns guard Isaiah Canaan suffered an ankle injury in Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks, but “ankle injury” is putting it lightly.
