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 ...
The Cavs Got Beat By Something Resembling The Memphis Grizzlies
If the Cavaliers were sending cryptic tweets before losing to a Memphis Grizzlies team missing most of the players you’ve heard of, I can’t even imagine what they’re going to send out tonight....
Man Who Tries To Grab Home Run Ball From Kids Gets What He Deserves
Today’s spring training excitement comes to you from Arizona, where a Cactus League classic between the White Sox and Angels resulted in some lucky kid walking away with a Mike Trout home run ball—and an adult walking away with a random baseball he thought was a Mike Trout home run ball....
James Harden, Just What The Hell Are You Doing On This Play?
There are two critical facts that need to be laid out in order to establish the context of the above play: 1) When this happened, the Rockets were up two with less than three minutes left in the game, and the game had just resumed after a timeout; and 2) The Rockets have yet to mention anything abou...
Holy Shit, The Warriors Lost To The Lakers
In what is the greatest statistical upset in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers somehow beat the Golden State Warriors 112-95 this afternoon. Before the game, the Lakers had a .190 winning percentage and the Warriors were sitting pretty at .917. That’s the largest gap between winning percentages an...
Get A Load Of This <i>Chicago Tribune</i> Columnist's Bad Steph Curry Take
Whatever your opinion on the Golden State Warriors—whether you think they can eat shit, or believe that their haters should shut the fuck up, or [untangleable mess of puns], or you love them—it’s inarguable that they are good at basketball. That’s sort of a ridiculous premise to have to establish, b...
Manu Ginobili Is Stronger Than Ever After His Ball Surgery
On February 4, the San Antonio Spurs announced that Manu Ginobili would miss a month after requiring testicular surgery to repair whatever happened to his Ginobilis when Ryan Anderson plunked them with a stray knee....
John Wall, Goddamn
The Wizards lost a close one at home tonight to the Indiana Pacers. The end of the game was bad and dumb and full of nothing but free throws, but John Wall went and hit one of the wackiest circus shots of the season late in the game to keep the Wiz boys in it....
Wisconsin Investigated Bo Ryan After Extramarital Affair, Denies It Caused His Resignation
Following allegations made in February 2015 by a woman who claimed she carried on a lengthy affair with then-Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan, the university conducted an investigation into his conduct and concluded in May that Ryan did not misuse university resources. According to a statement from u...
Carmelo Anthony Sounds So Sad After The Knicks' Latest Collapse
The Knicks have had a rather tempestuous last month. They fired Derek Fisher, got into just the dumbest heckling controversy, and had to hold a press conference denying that Kurt Rambis was, in fact, horny online. On top of all that, they’ve lost 16 of 19. Kristaps Porzingis’ continued delightfulnes...
Timberwolves Fans Sue Team Over Bullshit Ticket Policy
It’s not just the Yankees that are trying to shake down their own fans via oppressive ticketing policies. The Minnesota Timberwolves are doing their part to speed us toward a future in which all games are played in front of crowds consisting only of rich people and paid-for empty seats....
LeBron, You Okay, Bud?
LeBron James might be going through some shit right now....
The Knicks Made Carmelo Anthony Apologize For The Dumbest Thing
Ah yes, we’re finally right back where we belong, in a world where the New York Knicks aren’t a surprising feel-good story, but a bumbling franchise that specializes in pulling bad PR out of thin air. I’m actually surprised it took us this long to get back here....
Let's Throw Some Ideas For Stopping Steph Curry Against The Wall!
After the Warriors stormed back to defeat the Thunder 121-118 in overtime on Saturday night to improve to 53-5 (16-0 against the top 10 teams in the NBA), and with NBA legend Oscar Robertson’s grousing fresh in everybody’s minds, our Kevin Draper and Albert Burneko exchanged some emails about how to...
