Michael Beasley Leaves Game After Gross-Looking Knee Injury [Graphic]
The Bucks have played the Cavaliers tough this year, and they somehow ended the first half against Cleveland up by two. They had to play a bit of the half without Michael Beasley, after his leg buckled and he had to leave the game with a knee injury. The Bucks announced that he’d suffered a left kne...
Let's Check In On Phil Jackson's Big Offseason Moves
Phil Jackson, a guy who probably owns a lot of books he’s never even opened, has not been having a very good year. Most of his troubles have come in the form of off-court shenanigans, but let’s not forget that the Knicks’ on-court product has also blown up in his face this season....

Kevin Durant And The Warriors Are Fed Up With Shaq's Troll Act [Update]
Shaquille O’Neal and Warriors center JaVale McGee, who are perpetually beefing over McGee’s appearances on Shaqtin’ A Fool, spent the wee hours of the morning arguing on Twitter.

DeMarcus Cousins Thinks Vivek Ranadivé And Vlade Divac Pulled A "Coward Move"
DeMarcus Cousins has left Sacramento, but he still has choice words for the simmering poop stew he left behind, and especially for the two stirring it: Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé and general manager Vlade Divac. In an entertaining interview with Boogie over at The Undefeated, both come across as inc...
Now Let Us Heap Scorn Upon The NBA Trade Deadline Fuck-Ups
So the NBA trade deadline was a big dud, again. It featured one blockbuster deal—the New Orleans Pelicans just straight-up robbing the Sacramento Kings for DeMarcus Cousins—and then a handful of minor deals, none of which seem likely to shake up the standings all that much. That’s butt....

JaVale McGee And Shaq Beef On Twitter After Shaq Roasts McGee On TV Again
Human lowlight reel JaVale McGee and Shaq have had beef for a while now. Shaq loves to make fun of the silly stuff McGee (who, it should also be said, is having a really good season with the Warriors) regularly does on the court. McGee, in contrast, hates it. Last night, the beef reached all new, m...
The Pelicans Are Playing With House Money
The DeMarcus Cousins era did not get off to the best start in New Orleans last night, as the Pelicans were blown out by the Rockets 129-99. No need to panic in New Orleans, though, because the Pelicans still have plenty of time to figure out how Anthony Davis and Cousins can fit together, and if eve...
The Warriors And Clippers Still Don't Like Each Other Very Much
What was once an intense rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers has cooled some lately. Last night’s Warriors victory—in which the Clippers were up 12 at the half before the Warriors dropped a 50-point third quarter on them and took over the game—was their tenth in a row ...
Ty Lawson Found A Great Dumb Way To Burn A Ton Of Clock
The Sacramento Kings, the team that everyone spent the whole weekend mocking for their nonsensical DeMarcus Cousins trade, came out swinging in their first game post-Boogie and blew the doors off of the Denver Nuggets. The win puts them just half a game out of the playoffs somehow, and two games ahe...
