Andrew Bogut Hit His First Three-Pointer In Three Years
March 8, 2013, was the last time Warriors center Andrew Bogut even attempted a shot from beyond the arc. Since then he’s been waiting, watching, judging the angles, observing the Splash Brothers. Finally, in last night’s 125-107 win over the Pelicans, Bogut let ‘er rip....

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

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 ...
