This Is The Rudest Thing I've Seen In My Whole Life

The Sassy Clippers Once Again Made The Warriors Look Like Frauds

When the Warriors dropped Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers, it seemed like it might’ve been because they were overconfident, lackadaisical, and maybe even a little tuned-out. This would seem to have been confirmed by their subsequent 27-point demolition of ...

Goddammit, DeMarcus Cousins Is Probably Done For The Playoffs With A Torn Quad

DeMarcus Cousins might be the unluckiest player in the NBA. After eight seasons on two of the NBA’s most cursed franchises, Boogie’s first-ever playoff run is almost certainly over after 25 minutes and 11 points, as the Warriors announced Tuesday that Cousins has a torn left quadriceps. ...

Robert Kraft Is Challenging The Florida Constitution To Keep You From Seeing Video Of His Hand Job

Can billions of dollars buy permission not to abide by a state constitution?

He hired some of t...

Put Lou Williams In The Hall Of Fame For What He Just Did To The Warriors

The L.A. Clippers pulled off an absurd comeback victory against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, tying the first-round series at one-all by winning 135-131 after being down 94-63 in the third quarter.

The Beef Between Kevin Durant And Patrick Beverley Will Make This Inevitable Warriors Sweep Fun As Hell

When it came to the Warriors-Clippers series, the prevailing prediction seemed to be that the Clippers hardly had a snowball’s chance in hell of stealing at least one win from Golden State. However, the caveat to that pessimistic prediction was that Los Angeles could at least make things interesting...

Holy Shit, Chris Davis Actually Got A Hit

A historic weight was lifted off of Chris Davis’s shoulders on Saturday.

The State Of The Warriors On The Edge Of Unrest

If, as has been predicted with almost frightening certitude by anyone who has watched a basketball game since Zelmo Beaty roamed the earth, the Golden State Warriors tromp through yet another field of challengers and re-re-almost-repeat as NBA champions, you outworlders will be pleased to know that ...

Chris Davis Is Now Officially Part Of Miserable Baseball History [Update]

Chris Davis has done it, it being a thing he definitely didn’t want to do.

In doing so, he reached an 0-for-47 mark which began Sept. 14 of last season, ...

The Knicks Are In The "Let Mario Hezonja Cook" Phase Of Their Tank

The 16-64 Knicks have locked up the NBA’s worst record, which translates to a 14 percent chance at Zion Williamson and the assurance that their pick will not fall outside the top five. Insofar as the team could be said to have any goals this season, they have now all been achieved: offload unhappy ...
