NBA, NBAPA Agree On New CBA And Draymond Green Is Also Mad About Something [Update]

Kristaps Porzingis Was Ready To Scrap
The Knicks took on the Suns last night, and despite losing this matchup of dysfunctional defenses, Kristaps Porzingis posted 34 points (including a perfect 4-of-4 from the arc), eight rebounds, three blocks, three steals, and the feistiest moment of his brief career. In the third quarter, Porzingis...
Lakers Decide Not To Stay At Trump-Branded Hotel Over "Security Concerns"

James Harden Made A Quiet, Leisurely Meal Out Of The Nets
In last night’s win over the Nets, James Harden dropped a bloated stat line that, by week eight, feels routine: 36 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds. He served the usual slew of crafty pocket passes, cottony lobs and floaters, crossovers and pull-up threes. If there’s anything worth noting, it’s that h...
Steaming Mad Luke Walton Curses Out Officials After Ejection

DeMarcus Cousins Does Beautiful Impression Of Joakim Noah's Shooting Form
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Joakim Noah’s shooting motion can be awkward as hell, but most basketball players do not acknowledge this truth by mocking it to Noah’s face in the middle of a game. DeMarcus Cousins is not most basketball players:...
DeMar DeRozan Dunks Physically On Ricky Rubio And Verbally On Kyle Lowry
Last night, DeMar DeRozan somehow materialized above the rim to turn DeMarre Carroll’s missed layup into Ricky Rubio’s funeral: cowering, hands clamped over head, palpable fear and awe of a more powerful being. As always, it’s nice to watch someone close a sizeable gap and fuck someone’s day up....
Gregg Popovich Still Isn't Happy With His Team's Effort
A few weeks ago, after the San Antonio Spurs nearly coughed up a game to the Dallas Mavericks, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich unleashed a mini-rant about his team’s “pathetic performance.” After dropping a road game to the Bulls last night, Pop was similarly perturbed....
Carmelo Anthony Sure Seems Tired Of Phil Jackson's Shit
Phil Jackson, a guy who would look a lot dumber without his glasses, continues to emit ill-advised takes that make good NBA players angry. For his most recent target he chose his own star forward, Carmelo Anthony. Now feels like an odd time to seed resentment among Jackson’s Knicks, who, last night’...

The Cavs And Warriors Flexed On The NBA Last Night
Part of the fun of paying close attention to the early part of the NBA season is picking out the trends and performances you didn’t quite see coming. This part of the year is all about asking questions like, Whoa, Kristaps is a star now and the Knicks might be pretty good? and Wait, can the Clippers...
Actual Body Expert Says Draymond Green's Excuses For Balls-Kicking Don't Hold Up
Draymond Green, whose feet regularly find the sensitive fleshy bits between his opponents’ legs, has taken a pretty self-righteous tack in his response to critics: Green says the people who make the rules for the NBA just don’t get how human bodies work....
The Wizards Are Dead, Ernie Grunfeld Has Killed Them
John Wall scored 52 points last night in a mostly empty arena against the Orlando Magic, who defeated the Wizards anyway, despite not being good or playing all that well. Below is the full highlight reel, if you’re into seeing one of the NBA’s most thrilling players deliver the best scoring performa...
Phil Jackson Still Doesn't Get It
Last month, Phil Jackson referred to LeBron James’s group of friends as his “posse,” which angered both LeBron and his business partner and friend Maverick Carter. Both men took specific issue with Jackson’s use of the word and noted the perceived racial undertones of what Jackson said. Whether or n...
Of Course Andrew Bogut Has Bad Pizzagate Takes
A certain subset of the dumbest people alive are riled up over an unbelievably specious conspiracy theory that posits Hillary Clinton and her associates are secretly running a pedophilia and child trafficking ring out of the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Washington D.C. It’s known as...
