The Hawks Met Their Match In Anthony Davis
The Atlanta Hawks, a team that has swallowed up the rest of the Eastern Conference by playing a near-perfect imitation of Spursian super basketball, took their 19-game win streak to New Orleans last night to face Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. The Hawks may be an unrelenting monster, but they met a...
Last Night's Clippers-Nets Game Set A Record For Free Throw Futility
If you were fortunate enough to be in attendance at Barclays Center for last evening's Clippers-Nets matchup, you witnessed history. The two teams combined to miss 27 of their 43 free throws, which set an all-time NBA record for failure at the charity stripe. We're pulling a deep cut for this one, w...
Basketball Hangs On Rim Forever, Delights Jeremy Lamb
Given how fast-paced and fluid basketball can be, it's always funny when some unexpected shit happens and throws off the entire rhythm of the game. That's exactly what went down during last night's game between the Thunder and Magic, when the ball just refused to let go of the rim....

Viewers watching NBA TV's broadcast (via a Fox Sports affiliate) of tonight's Hawks-Pelicans game—one that finally broke Atlanta's win streak—got a special EXTREME CLOSEUP of New Orleans star Anthony Davis's face. The Vine is even better to show your children:...

Boris Diaw Buzzer-Beater Attempt Beans Gregg Popovich
It's probably a bad idea to hit your coach in the head with a basketball, but somehow that happened tonight as Boris Diaw's poor attempt at a first-half buzzer-beater instead hit coach Gregg Popovich in the head as Pop headed toward the locker room, no doubt disgusted by the Spurs' poor play. Pop di...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Obliterates Rim With Thunderous Windmill Jam
It's no secret we're big fans of Giannis Antetokounmpo in these parts. Here's an example why, set tonight against the Trail Blazers. The rim's family requests no flowers....
Kevin Harlan Calls Replay Of Ball Hitting Kevin Harlan In The Face
In the middle of a surprisingly competitive and entertaining game between the Lakers and Bulls, Kevin Harlan took a loose ball to the face. He was a good enough sport to call the replay of it, so that's how we get this clip of Kevin Harlan exclaiming "OHH my gosh, look at the pain!" as Kevin Harlan ...
What Is This Batshit Anti-Nike, Anti-Kevin Durant Website?
This is just one of the many completely insane image macros that can currently be found at townofloveokc.publishpath.com. From what I can gather, this site is run by a crazy person who believes two things very strongly: Nike is an evil, Godless corporation, and Kevin Durant is the devil....
The Suns Are The Fly In The Western Conference's Ointment
The Suns whacked the Wizards, 106-98, last night in Phoenix. The game was never as competitive as the final score makes it look: The Wizards were playing their fourth game in four cities in five nights, and looked like it; the Suns hadn't played since Sunday, and looked like it. The Suns are 27-20...
The Atlanta Hawks Are Too Good For Twitter
The Atlanta Hawks are good as hell, and they are currently riding a 17-game winning streak atop the Eastern Conference. In the early stages of the streak, whoever runs the team's official Twitter account thought it would be fun to add an extra "W" to the account's display name with each successive w...

Report: Markieff And Marcus Morris Under Investigation For Assault
According to CBS 5 News, Phoenix Suns twins Marcus and Markieff Morris are being investigated by Phoenix police for their role in an alleged assault that occurred Saturday outside of a gym.

Kyrie Irving Drops 55 Points, Hits Game-Winning Walk-Up Three
Maybe the Cavaliers are the pretty good team we all thought they would be and not actually doomed? Since LeBron James returned from his injury two weeks ago he has looked like the LeBron we knew—and not the broken down, maybe past his prime LeBron we'd seen previously this season—in leading the Ca...
J.R. Smith: I'm Better Now Because I Can't Really Party In Cleveland
J.R. Smith has been pretty good since joining the Cleveland Cavaliers, scoring 14 points per game and shooting 37 percent from behind the arc. While playing for the Knicks during the first chunk of the season, Smith was scoring just 10 points per game and shooting 35 percent from behind the arc. Acc...
Mayweather And Pacquiao Meet For The First Time
It seems incredible that for all their ducking and dodging and posturing and close calls, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao had never met face-to-face before last night. But with both sitting courtside at the Miami Heat game—directly opposite each other, as it worked out—the two wandered over at h...
What The Hell Did Stephen Curry Just Do With This Pass?
The headline isn't an attempt at hyperbole but a legitimate question. I've watched this on replay four or five times now and I still can't figure out how Steph Curry smoothly pulled this off. I'm sitting on my couch trying to swing an imaginary ball from my left hand to my right and then over my s...
