"I'm Coming To Kill You": OKC Ball Boy Not Happy With Westbrook Injury
When Russell Westbrook went down earlier this week with a potentially season-ending knee injury, basketball fans everywhere sighed loudly. Crazy, stupid and crazy-stupid people shouted at Patrick Beverley, the man who ran into Russell Westbrook's knee during the second quarter of Game 2 between the ...
Stephen Curry And Jarrett Jack Are One-Upping Their Way Past Denver
It's the first round of the NBA playoffs, and a good series is kind of like finding a good mechanic you trust, but we've got it in Denver-Golden State. Nuggets-Warriors is the best series going and it isn't even close....

Matt Barnes Has Ice Water In His Veins
They say the best way to survive a bear attack is to stare the beast down as it charges you. Maybe that's what Matt Barnes was thinking about last night when Zach Randolph came charging toward him after a hard foul. ...
Russell Westbrook Will Undergo Surgery For A Torn Meniscus
The Oklahoma City Thunder announced today that Russell Westbrook tore his meniscus in the second quarter of Game 2 against Houston on Wednesday and is out indefinitely. There's no timetable for his return yet, which potentially leaves the West wide open and sets up the Heat for an easy run to the ti...

Here's Steve Nash In A Wheelchair, So Good Luck With That, Lakers Fans
We knew Steve Nash was a wreck. Injuries made him look like an old man last night, so he's getting an epidural for his <strike>hamstring</strike> back today in the hopes of playing in Game 3. He also has a bad hamstring, and nerve damage in his hip, which probably aren't good things for a basketball...

The Hawks-Pacers Series Is Boring, But These Dunks Are Not
Don't give a shit about who wins the first-round playoff series between the Hawks and Pacers? Don't worry, neither does anyone else. But you should give a shit about what Roy Hibbert and Gerald Green did last night. Each threw down a dunk that was more than worthy of the playoff stage....
The Lakers Are Breaking Down
The Lakers lost, 102-91, to fall down 0-2 in their matchup with San Antonio. The game was unremarkable: the lead was eight at the half, 10 after the third; the Spurs were their usual, relentless, efficient selves. The Lakers were directionless, and with two more possibly significant injures, it migh...

Harrison Barnes Is Still Very Good At Dunking
We haven't really heard much from Harrison Barnes ever since he opened the season with a vicious posterization of Nikola Pekovic. But last night Barnes played the game of his career, scoring 24 points and grabbing six rebounds while playing as an undersized power forward. He also threw down this sp...
Stephen Curry Finally Makes His Playoff Splash
Last night's Warriors-Nuggets game ended the way you'd expect it to end when the Nuggets play atrocious defense and the Warriors shoot somewhere around 125 percent from the floor. But the bigger factor–bless his heart and his shaky ankles–was Stephen Curry finally getting a chance to show us what he...
The Knicks Smother The Celtics Into A Historically Bad Second Half
This one looked like the last one. The Celtics came out strong in Game 2, as they did in Game 1. Then, at halftime something happened. Maybe New York mixed up its defensive looks, or maybe Boston felt the effects of its thin roster, or maybe they just forgot how to shoot. But the Celtics once again ...
Mike Brown Is Coming Back To Cleveland
According to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, Mike Brown and the Cleveland Cavaliers are finalizing a five-year, $20 million contract that will see Brown return to the bench in the city where his head coaching career started.
