Cam Newton Vs. The Packers Banner Has A Happy Ending
Banners! Let’s talk about banners. It’s much more interesting than talking about how the Panthers are 8-0*, and with a two-game lead plus the tiebreaker over the Packers, are firmly in the driver’s seat for homefield advantage in the NFC. Because homefield isn’t so great if you’ve got a bunch of a v...
The Packers Were Mad At Their Tablets And Each Other
The Packers have lost two games in a row with Aaron Rodgers starting at quarterback, which hasn’t happened since 2010. Green Bay was contained against the Broncos last Sunday, and yesterday, the Panthers held on for a 37-29 win. Multiple players showed their frustrations on the sideline....
Timofey Mozgov Hit First Cleveland Three-Pointer
Timofey Mozgov is strongest, also largest. Mozgov dunk; Mozgov rebound; Mozgov block shot. But Mozgov is not oaf! Mozgov have skill. Mozgov shoot three!...
Kobe Bryant On Knicks' Offense: "That Ain't No Fucking Triangle, That's A Square"
Kobe Bryant played the Knicks in Madison Square Garden yesterday, which of course means he got to spend some time talking shit with Spike Lee. Thankfully, another fan sitting courtside recorded a bit of last night’s meeting between the two:...
Kobe Bryant, What Are You Doing?
This is not a long video, nor a particularly great quality one, but it is very illustrative....
A Blown Goaltending Call Might Have Cost The Clippers Their Revenge Against The Rockets
With just about a shot clock’s worth of time left in the fourth quarter in last night’s Clippers-Rockets game, Blake Griffin rose and missed a layup that would have tied the game at 107. His follow-up also missed, thanks in part to Dwight Howard tipping it away when it was above the cylinder....
Andrew Wiggins Dunked All Over The Bulls Last Night
For a maybe-bad team, the Wolves are really fun to watch. Karl-Anthony Towns looks good and tall and spry, Ricky Rubio is finally healthy, and Young Cock Andrew Wiggins has, so far, done a better job converting his all-world athleticism into production than last year. And he won Rookie Of The Year l...
Fed Up Spurs Color Commentator Draws Dick & Balls On Broadcast
Sean Elliott, a terrible color commentator for the Spurs, was fed up yesterday for a series of technical difficulties and took his revenge here in the fourth quarter. Perfect execution for the Spurs, as always....
Latvian Dunks Basketball
Kristaps Porzingis, a Baltic giraffe who plays for the Knicks, is already cool and fun, which is a welcome surprise after a summer where he was tabbed as quite the project. Turns out being the size of telecommunications infrastructure, reasonably agile, and in possession of a shooting stroke are all...
LeBron James And Kevin Love Have Resolved Their Beef
Remember those subtweets, stilted interviews, and posed Instagram pictures that had a lot of people wondering if there was a rift between LeBron James and Kevin Love last year? Well, according to the Akron Beacon Journal, there was indeed some fire behind all that smoke....
Will Kobe Bryant Survive This Season?
The early part of the NBA season has been defined by a torrent of incredible Steph Curry highlights and an alternate, uglier torrent of Kobe Bryant lowlights, wherein the Lakers superstar is hopelessly air-balling shot after shot as his teammates—still regarded by Kobe as mere assistants—look on hel...
This Shot May Not Have Counted, But It's Still Cool As Hell
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Jae Crowder, there’s some sort of rule against heaving a full-court inbound pass straight into the bucket. This rule is clearly stupid, and Crowder should have been awarded five points. ...
Kobe Bryant Gets The <i>NBA Jam</i> Treatment, And He's Not Exactly On Fire
I can’t tell if these tears coming down my face are ones of laughter or sadness, but I’m crying all the same....
The Clippers Are Good, But The Warriors Were Better
Wednesday night’s contest between the Warriors and Clippers was more hyped than some playoff games, a highly anticipated match-up considering it was an early November game. They were two of the three remaining undefeated teams in the NBA, and spent the offseason engaged in a heated war of words, the...
Bradley Beal Sinks Spurs With Game-Winning Three
The Wizards are a popular dark horse pick to emerge from the Eastern Conference and they showed why tonight, beating the Spurs 102-99 on a Bradley Beal three-pointer with just 0.3 seconds remaining. LaMarcus Aldridge does not look good on this possession, likely because of some sort of blown communi...
Reports: Miami Heat's Gerald Green Had To Be Restrained, Hospitalized
Heat swingman Gerald Green was hospitalized today after an ambulance and police were called to his Miami condominium. According to witnesses who spoke to TMZ, Green was “screaming at the top of his lungs” and causing a disturbance. He had to be restrained on a stretcher before the ambulance took him...
Warriors Owner: I Did Some Fuck Stuff With The Larry O’Brien Trophy
Here’s a bone-chilling collection of words from Haute Living’s new profile of Warriors owner Joe Lacob:...
Andre Drummond Is A Hilarious Monster
After scoring 25 points and yanking down 29—twenty-goddamned-nine!—rebounds against the Pacers last night, Pistons center Andre Drummond’s per-game numbers are looking downright stupid. He’s averaging 20 points and 19 rebounds per game, and he’s the first player since 1985 to score at least 80 point...
Emmanuel Mudiay Trades Shots With Byron Scott
Last night’s Nuggets-Lakers game wasn’t really anything worth getting excited about—both teams are bad, you see—except to see what Nuggets rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay was going to do or say about Lakers head coach Byron Scott’s pregame sniping....
