The Cavs Were Scared Enough Of Steph Curry That They Let Kevin Durant Destroy Them
The Cavs, who have to play perfect basketball to beat the Warriors, did not play perfect basketball last night in Game 1, so they did not beat the Warriors. They turned over the rock 20 times and ceded 27 fast break points, which is not all that shocking given their piss-poor transition defense duri...

Steph Curry Calls Out Dewayne Dedmon For "Dirty Play"
The Golden State Warriors won Game 3 this weekend to set up a potential sweep against the San Antonio Spurs. The outcome of this series hasn’t been in doubt since Kawhi Leonard limped out of Game 1 with an ankle injury, but it’s seen more controversy than most uneven playoff matchups....
Fox News Pays Tribute To Roger Ailes By Putting The Worst Possible Shit On TV Today
The Fox News Specialists, the new Fox program that gave the world Joe Namath yakking about Syria with Karl Rove, has blessed us again. Yapping cheshire cat and First Take host Stephen A.

How Better To Celebrate A Game 7 Than By Slapping Stephen A. Smith On The Ass?
The Washington Wizards forced a Game 7 against the Boston Celtics last night with a dazzling, heart-stopping three-pointer by John Wall. The Celtics, dressed for a funeral, were sent away mourning on their own. How best to celebrate? Giving a nice hearty ass-slap to Stephen A. Smith!...
Steph Curry Made Rudy Gobert Look Like A Bewildered Child
You can’t double team Steph Curry on the perimeter. If you go under the screen against him, you are allowing maybe the greatest shooter of all time an open look. You can switch a big guy onto him, but that means Steph gets to go at a larger, slower defender. Maybe it’s not that bad if that big guy i...

I Think Paul George Hates His Team
Paul George was great last night, scoring 32 points to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists in the Pacers’ Game 2 loss to the Cavs. After the game, he seemed very much like a man who is tired of toiling away on a middling team....
Stephen A. Smith: "This Damn Phil Jackson Is Still In New York City!"
For anyone masochistic enough to still care about the Knicks, this weekend felt a lot like rock bottom. President Phil Jackson spent Friday afternoon publicly alienating his star player Carmelo Anthony. He also stated that no Knicks player—including Kristaps Porzingis—was off the bargaining table, q...
Mark Jackson's Church Tried To Heal Steph Curry's Ankle With Oil
Sports Illustrated ran an excerpt from Marcus Thompson’s new book on Steph Curry, and there’s a particularly interesting anecdote involving the Golden State Warriors guard, his former head coach Mark Jackson, and Jackson’s church....
This Steph Curry Sequence Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
Steph Curry is at it again, right in time for Kevin Durant’s looming return and the Warriors’ forthcoming playoff run. In just over a minute, the Warriors scored 11 points, all of which were either scored or assisted by Curry. He nailed a pair of threes, assisted Klay Thompson for another three, the...
Stephen Piscotty Had An Extremely Painful Inning
Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty had a great day yesterday, signing a six-year extension with St. Louis the day after beating the Cubs on national television. He had the opposite sort of day today, as he had to leave the Cards’ game early with a head contusion after getting hit by a trio of bas...
Lance Stephenson Made A Late Layup And Hurt The Raptors' Feelings
The Indiana Pacers were up by 15 with 10 seconds left in their game against the Toronto Raptors when the Pacers’ Joe Young grabbed a rebound and kicked it out to Lance Stephenson, who jogged down the court for an easy layup. Immediately, the announcers started finger-wagging and taking Stephenson t...
Why The Vote To Move The Raiders To Las Vegas Wasn't Unanimous
NFL owners like to project solidarity, even if it doesn’t exist. It’s better for their product and their PR if they present a united front in matters of league import, rather than a group of factious, occasionally squabbling mega-wealthy looking out for themselves and trying to out-earn each other i...
LaVar Ball Vs. Stephen A. Smith Made For Some Profoundly Dumb TV
I suppose the logical apotheosis of the media tour that LaVar Ball, patron saint of loud sports dads, has embarked upon over the past month is an appearance on ESPN’s preeminent shouting match, First Take. This morning, Ball joined the program to discuss his series of outlandish public proclamations...
Steph Curry's Got His Swagger Back
Whatever you make of the dumb beef going on between the Warriors and the Thunder over how the team has yet to pay tribute to Kevin Durant, it’s clear that the two teams don’t like one another. They spent their first three meetings of the season growling at each other and passive-aggressively pushing...
Four T'd Up As Warriors And Thunder "Brawl"
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Semaj Christon, and Russell Westbrook all drew technical fouls as a fight between the Warriors and Thunder erupted near the end of tonight’s first half in Oklahoma City....
Steph Curry Spoke Too Soon
At the end of the third quarter of last night’s Celtics-Warriors game, Steph Curry did some very rude things to Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown. After shaking and faking Brown out of his airspace, Curry rose up for a buzzer-beating three that put the Warriors up 74-71. And then he got sassy, turning tow...
