Where Five-Point First Quarters Happen

A Fitting Tribute To Larry O'Brien, If Larry O'Brien Was A Drunk
It lacks the Stanley Cup's charming ability to serve as a giant alcohol dispenser, but the NBA's Larry O'Brien trophy can be surrounded with what appear to be empty beer cans.

Your Gripping NBA Champions
It is probably not a good sign that the morning after we crown a new NBA champion — and we do congratulate the Spurs, sure — more people are emailing us about a guy who hasn't been in the NBA for 11 years than they are about the game. (To be fair, the story did involve masturbation.) When's the draf...
Our Long National Nightmare Could End Tonight

Trying To Salvage What's Left Of The NBA Season
As we sift through the carnage of a mostly D.O.A. NBA Finals, we wonder: Can anything save it at this point? The popular theory is that Cavs coach Mike Brown is destroying any slim hope his team has — maybe he should play Eric Snow more — and, in addition, he's making the games excruciating to watch...

This picture kind of sums up why the NBA Finals, after the brief hope of LeBron's ascension, has become a must-miss: People flailing around, grabbing each other, and the Spurs efficiently cruising along. Last night was closer, we suppose, but we just can't fire ourselves up that much for an NBA Fina...
Will The Cavs Make This Even Slightly Interesting?
The ratings are down, the excitement level is low, and the day after Game Two, every sports site from ESPN to us was talking more about "The Sopranos" than yet another Spurs dismantling.

We Congratulate The Spurs On Their Fourth Title
Well, it's certainly starting to look like we're all witnesses to Tim Duncan methodically steamrolling to his fourth NBA title. (That would tie him with Shaq, by the way.) What was most distressing about the Spurs' 103-92 Game 2 win over the Cavaliers last night was that it was over so early; the ou...
