Steph Curry Running Away Before His Threes Go In Is Rude, Wonderful, And Demoralizing
Last night’s Warriors-Suns game was silly with highlights, even by Golden State’s inflated standards; Brandon Knight hit five audacious three pointers in the third quarter to give the Suns a double digit lead; Mo Speights went all Dirk and kept his squad in the game during that run; Leandro Barbosa ...
Monta Ellis Called Out The Mavericks Last-Chance Out-Of-Bounds Play Before They Even Ran It
Monta Ellis took his Pacers (who are kind of on a bit of roll here) down to Dallas where they beat the Mavericks (who are scuffling at the bottom of the Western Conference playoff picture) 112-105. When Dallas had the ball down six with 17 seconds left, Monta Ellis was in charge of keeping an eye on...
The Grizzlies Are Lance Stephenson's Right Now, And That's Entertaining As Hell
You know how Marc Gasol broke his foot, Mario Chalmers tore his Achilles, Zach Randolph’s knee ain’t happy, Brandan Wright has a messed up MCL, and all the Grizzlies had was Mike Conley and some randos? Well:...
What's Wrong With The Oklahoma City Thunder?
After the Thunder collapsed and let the Minnesota Timberwolves come back and beat them in Oklahoma City last night, Kevin Durant took the blame and wore the hairshirt. Even if it’s just KD self-flagellating, this quote sums up the sadness of OKC’s last month pretty succinctly:...
Love Is Real: Donald Sterling And His Wife Are Calling Off Their Divorce
In August, lawsuit-loving former Clippers owner Donald Sterling filed for divorce from his wife Shelly, who he called a “pig” during court proceedings when they were fighting over who would retain control of the Clippers (as it turns out, the eventual answer to that one was neither, thank God)....

Rick Carlisle Calls Out Referee For Baiting Deron Williams Into A Technical Foul
Mavericks point guard Deron Williams was given a technical foul by referee David Jones during last night’s game against the Pistons. According to Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle, the tech was only called because Jones went out of his way to bait Williams....
Warriors Games Should Be On Earlier, Dammit
As you’re probably aware, the Golden State Warriors are currently 57-6 and have a legit shot at beating the NBA’s single-season win record. They’re the sort of once-in-a-lifetime superteam that has captured the imaginations of diehards and casual fans alike, and I would very much like to watch them ...
Chris Paul (Accidentally?) Hits Kevin Durant In The Huevos
That’s a pretty sneaky nut shot if it’s intentional, but when you are known for repeatedly hitting other players below the belt, you aren’t really afforded the benefit of the doubt....
San Antonio Spurs Owner Steps Down, Wife Named Chairman And CEO
The San Antonio Spurs announced tonight that Peter Holt has retired as chairman and CEO of Spurs Sports & Entertainment—the company that owns the Spurs and a number of other San Antonio-area sports teams—which Holt has led since 1996. He will be replaced by his wife, Julianna Hawn Holt, who will als...
LeBron James Would Have Willingly Switched Positions If Joe Johnson Signed With The Cavs
While the Golden State Warriors try to achieve the best regular season in NBA history, LeBron James is in a weird place. He wants a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers so badly, and it’s consuming him to the point where he’s sending abstruse tweets about success and pulling your weight. When t...
Dion Waiters's Little Brother Killed In Philadelphia
The brother of Thunder shooting guard Dion Waiters was one of six people killed during a spate of gun violence in Philadelphia last night. Waiters acknowledged his brother’s death on Instagram this morning:...
Radio Announcer Ejected From College Basketball Game For Vigorous Gesturing
On Monday the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay knocked off Valparaiso 99-92 in overtime to advance to the final of the Horizon League tournament. (They beat Wright State tonight, so they’ll be dancing.) Even more astonishing than Valparaiso’s full-court pass to send the game to overtime was the fac...
If You Like Making Fun Of Dwight Howard, You'll Like This Picture
Dwight Howard, a guy who probably voted himself Class Clown in high school, is apparently not very good at locking his iPad. At least that’s what this tweet from Rockets rookie Sam Dekker implies:...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Is A Point Guard Now, And It's Awesome
There’s a fun thing going on with the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that was supposed to be a spunky upstart but has unfortunately been a big-ass bummer. All those losses have put head coach Jason Kidd in a situation where he can tinker and experiment with the team, and he’s taken advantage of that by put...
Hoo Boy, Take A Look At This Zach LaVine Dunk
Zach LaVine is a fun player. He’s an ostensible point guard who’s got more spring in his legs than Gerald Green, he’s a dunk contest champion, and he’s the type of dude who will throw down a one-handed, 360 dunk in the middle of a game....
Andrew Bogut Doesn't Even Stick Around To See If Stephen Curry Makes Three-Pointers Anymore
Stephen Curry hits three-pointers with such accuracy that we’ve come to create our own, extra-deep three-point line for him. He’s also created a level of confidence within his teammates that they’re now heading back to play defense even before he releases the shot, as demonstrated tonight by Andrew ...
