Only Kevin Durant Can Make Dropping 40 Look This Easy
Before we get to the highlights of the hyper-efficient 19-shot, 40-point eruption Kevin Durant put on the Nuggets last night in Denver, let's make a deal. I'll grant that, yeah, it came against a terrible team whose own coach has accused it of tanking, if the sorts of readers who'd be inclined to d...
The Phoenix Suns Have Lost An Awful Lot Of Games On Buzzer Beaters
The Phoenix Suns are humming along okay, barely ahead of New Orleans and Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the West. But they would be in a much better position if they hadn't gotten punched in the gut at the buzzer approximately a million times this season. A Blake Griffin three? An o...

Man City Saves Draw With 92nd-Minute Free Kick Goal
James Milner helped Manchester City avoid an embarrassing home loss to lowly Hull City with this gorgeous stoppage-time free kick goal.

So, The Wizards Aren't Handling This Slump All That Well
Shit's rough for the Wizards these days, man. After a few months of hanging steady near the top of the East and raking in national praise for their fun young backcourt duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal, they've dumped five in a row, seven of nine, and have been overtaken by the refurbished and newl...

Alley-Oops Are The Best Inbounds Plays
If last night saw the nadir in inbounds plays, tonight presents the zenith. A nice play call saw Gerald Henderson peel around a Cody Zeller screen unguarded, and help defender Marcin Gortat was only able to react in time to foul Henderson, not prevent the alley-oop. This is how all inbounds play...

Did you forget about Ricky Rubio? You probably forget about Ricky Rubio, because he's been out of action since Nov. 7, and nobody cares too much about what's going on with the Minnesota Timberwolves. But Rubio's back, and he is still his dazzling self....
Heat Shoot Themselves In Foot With Dumbest Possible Play, Lose By One
Down one with 40 seconds left, the Heat should've had two possessions to win the ballgame. Instead, Norris Cole accidentally inbounded the ball when he was really just trying to throw it to Hassan Whiteside so that he could inbound it. Cole ended up getting the ball exactly where he wanted, but for ...
Don't Stand In The Way When Le'Bryan Nash Is Rumbling Down The Lane
Poster dunks are great, but inevitably that guy comes along and says, "we should cheer the guy that was willing to contest the dunk, not laugh at him." That guy is mostly just a smarmy highlight truther, but he does spout a kernel of truth. ...
High School Coach Misses Alley-Oop, Breaks Backboard At Pep Rally
There was a pep rally at River Ridge High School in Woodstock (Ga.), and it was certainly more exciting than any pep rally I ever attended. A boys basketball team assistant coach tried to pump the crowd up with a sweet (on an eight-foot hoop) alley-oop dunk and, well, I'll just let you watch....
