Jabari Parker Is Turning Into A Nice Sidekick For Giannis Antetokounmpo
If not for the fact that he shares the floor with a lovable 6-foot-11 point squid, Jabari Parker would get a lot more of our affection. Last night he feasted on the Pistons for 31 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists:...
Carmelo Anthony Got Ejected For Whacking Thabo Sefolosha
The Knicks fell to Atlanta in overtime last night, 102-98, and they did most of it without Carmelo Anthony. Anthony was ejected in the second quarter for a forearm to the face of Thabo Sefolosha while the two were tangled up under the basket....
Andre Iguodala Passes The Ball Between His Legs And Behind His Back For No Good Reason

It's Never Draymond Green's Fault

Kevin Durant On NBA's Referee Reports: "I Think It's Bullshit"
On Christmas, the Golden State Warriors blew a big fourth quarter lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first Finals rematch game.

Thanks To A Randy Foye Buzzer-Beater, The Nets Are No Longer The Worst
Last night I brought my young cousins to watch the worst team in basketball. What a relief to watch them improve to the second-worst, and in such electrifying fashion, too:...
DeMarcus Cousins Really, Really Likes Joel Embiid
DeMarcus Cousins and Joel Embiid went at each other all night in an entertaining battle of the bigs as the Kings beat the Sixers 102-100. Cousins’ 30-7-5 stat line just topped Embiid’s 25-8-1, and judging by the jovial butt slaps and Boogie’s comments after the game, our two protagonists had just as...
Rockets Rookie's Campaign To Bring Back Granny Free Throws Finally Reaches NBA
It’s been a long journey for our intrepid hero, the free throw retro-innovator Chinanu Onuaku. The first-year Houston Rocket managed to toss up a couple of his trademark underhand free throws in a preseason trip to China earlier this year, but tonight was the first time he managed to display his bea...
NBA Admits That Refs Blew Two Calls In Favor Of Cavs; Warriors Remain Chump-Ass Chokers
The Golden State Warriors had all but the killed the Cleveland Cavaliers, and then they lost. This was famously the case back in June, and it was just as true last night. No amount of well-actuallying—not even after tonight, when the NBA owned up to the referees missing two critical late-game calls ...

Richard Jefferson Gets Technical Foul For Dunking On, Winking At Kevin Durant
Richard Jefferson dunked all over Kevin Durant during today’s big Warriors-Cavaliers game, and winked at the young man as he headed back up the court. That earned the 36-year-old a technical foul in today’s increasingly no-fun NBA....
Steve Kerr, Like Everyone Else, Blames The Millennials
Millennials, amirite? Don’t know what fabric softener is, don’t drink enough orange juice, put the Warriors down 65-49 to the Nets at halftime tonight....
Now, A Beautiful Song About Kristaps Porzingis From His Grandmother And Aunts
Kristaps Porzingis was named Latvian Athlete of the Year at the annual Latvijas Gada Balva Sportā ceremony today. He was unable to accept the award in person, as his Knicks are playing the Magic right now. This was ultimately a good thing, however, as it meant that we got to see some of his relative...
Melo Starts 'Em Young
You’ll have to wait a decade to complain about his ball-stopping tendencies, but you know Phil will still be around to do it. ...
I Hope The Beef Between Meyers Leonard And DeMarcus Cousins Lasts Forever
DeMarcus Cousins dropped 55 points on Tuesday, but not before dropping a platter of hot beef on Meyers Leonard’s lap. In the decisive seconds of the fourth quarter, he spun his way into a pretty and-1, walked over to the Blazers bench and let some choice words and a mouthguard fall out of his mouth:...
George Karl: I Struggled Because My Players Didn't Have Good Dads
Longtime NBA head coach George Karl has written a book, titled Furious George, and in it he partakes in the time-honored and always-wack tradition of coaches talking shit about players they used to coach. (Or so we are told by the New York Post, which got its hands on a copy of the book.)...
