The Charlotte Hornets are doomed to run the ‘treadmill of mediocrity’
The “treadmill of mediocrity” is a term coined by former Portland Trail Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard in 2011. It’s pro basketball limbo — being good enough to sneak into the playoffs but not good enough to win, yet not quite bad enough to earn a top-5 draft pick and select a serious game-changer. And ...

The Atlanta Hawks Are The Sorriest Fucking Losers In The History Of The Universe
Give credit to soft, washed, buster-ass piss-baby Paul Millsap, I suppose, for successfully whining this series into unwatchable whistle-ball, for that is all he accomplished. Despite the referees doing everything short of hogtying D.C.’s frontcourt on his behalf, his Hawks, entering the final days ...
Mozgov Mozgovs Millsap
This is how bad it has gotten for the Hawks: they’re getting Mozgov’d by Mozgov on alley-oops. They’re down 17 at the half, and don’t show the faintest sign that they can comeback and win....
