Warriors Get Their Asses Kicked Once Again As Steph Curry's Three-Pointer Streak Ends
For their first week of the season, the Golden State Warriors largely looked like another data point to support the theory that new superteams need some time to gel—a blowout loss to the Spurs, followed by wins over the Pelicans and Suns that were far closer than they should have been. But the last ...
Durant Versus Westbrook Was Fun, And Then It Was A Rout
For about nine minutes last night, it looked like the Thunder might beat the Warriors. But then Jerami Grant dunked and screamed in Kevin Durant’s face, Durant went supernova and scored 39 points, and the Warriors won by 26....
Russell Westbrook Says There's No Particular Reason He Dressed Up Like A Photographer

For One Quarter Last Night, Steph Looked Like Steph Again
In the grand tradition of LeBron’s Heat and, uh, LeBron’s Cavs, the Warriors’ new superteam has gotten off to a bumpy start.

I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...

Andrew Bogut Dunked On, This Time On Twitter <em></em>
Dallas Mavericks and former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut’s political beliefs are exactly what you would expect them to be.

Bobby Bowden Rambled For A Few Minutes At A Trump Rally Tonight

Todd Graham Confronts "Chickenshit" Mike Leach During Post-Game Handshake
The Pac-12 fined Washington State head coach Mike Leach $10,000 earlier this week for claiming Arizona State steals signals from opposing teams—something Sun Devils head coach Todd Graham admitted to last year.

J.T. Barrett Swarmed By Three Defenders In Backfield; Somehow Turns It Into 19-Yard Gain
Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is an absolute magician. Here he avoids three Penn State defenders surrounding him in the backfield and gets 19 yards in a play that looked so impossible officials decided to review it (and upheld the results after getting a second look)....
