The Denver Nuggets Are A Burning Clown Car Plunging Into A Gorge
The Denver Nuggets have lost 10 of their last 11 games; last night, they trailed the putrid 76ers by as many as 28 points before cobbling together enough dignity to make the final score look competitive. They're 19-30 at the moment, 11th in the stacked West, and 8.5 games out of the final playoff s...
Carter Hutton Preserves Win With Save Of The Year Contender
There is something in the water that is causing an epidemic of diving stick saves, and it is glorious. Here is Carter Hutton firmly declaring his candidacy for save of the year with this amazing reflexive swat, keeping Nashville's 4-3 lead intact late in the third period. ...
What In The World Was DeMarcus Cousins Thinking On This Inbounds?
Did he think he was on offense? Did he think the Warriors were shooting on the other basket? Did he think the ball was being inbounded from behind him? Did he think he was guarding somebody who hadn't yet walked onto the court? Sometimes players make the wrong decision on defense, or react too slo...

The Hawks Met Their Match In Anthony Davis
The Atlanta Hawks, a team that has swallowed up the rest of the Eastern Conference by playing a near-perfect imitation of Spursian super basketball, took their 19-game win streak to New Orleans last night to face Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. The Hawks may be an unrelenting monster, but they met a...
Last Night's Clippers-Nets Game Set A Record For Free Throw Futility
If you were fortunate enough to be in attendance at Barclays Center for last evening's Clippers-Nets matchup, you witnessed history. The two teams combined to miss 27 of their 43 free throws, which set an all-time NBA record for failure at the charity stripe. We're pulling a deep cut for this one, w...
Basketball Hangs On Rim Forever, Delights Jeremy Lamb
Given how fast-paced and fluid basketball can be, it's always funny when some unexpected shit happens and throws off the entire rhythm of the game. That's exactly what went down during last night's game between the Thunder and Magic, when the ball just refused to let go of the rim....

Jermaine Kearse's Insane Super Bowl Catch, In Extreme Slow Motion
Jermaine Kearse completed one of the wildest catches in Super Bowl history, one that won't be remembered due to the inexplicable decision that followed. Here's our attempt to make the memory last just a bit longer; we recommend watching it in HD and fullscreen, just to take advantage of all the fa...
Boris Diaw Buzzer-Beater Attempt Beans Gregg Popovich
It's probably a bad idea to hit your coach in the head with a basketball, but somehow that happened tonight as Boris Diaw's poor attempt at a first-half buzzer-beater instead hit coach Gregg Popovich in the head as Pop headed toward the locker room, no doubt disgusted by the Spurs' poor play. Pop di...

Benzema Golazo Puts Real Madrid Truly Out Of Reach
Karim Benzema's gorgeous 76th-minute goal put Real Madrid up 4-1 on Real Sociedad in a powerful performance that suggests Los Blancos won't really miss the currently-banned Cristiano Ronaldo if he seeks bluer waters. ...
UMass Player Completely Blindsided By Crushing Screen
UMass guard Trey Davis is probably still upset with his teammates this morning, because not one of those assholes thought it would be a good idea to call out the screen and save him from getting planted into the hardwood by Kendall Pollard. ...
Tuukka Rask Makes Stunning, Sprawling Stick Save
I wish we had a close-up of Michael Grabner's face to see the disbelief that he did not score a goal spread across it. ...
Who Would Win If A Hippo Fought A Rhino? A Question For The Ages.
This morning, in the Deadspin staff chatroom, we found ourselves debating whether a hippopotamus or a rhinoceros would win in a head-to-head battle. Since the question wasn't settled there [even after, like, six hours—ed], Albert Burneko and Greg Howard have decided to air the question in a public ...
Atlético-Barcelona Game Goes Insane When Player Throws Shoe At Ref
Non-stop action from kickoff, an opening-minute goal from the all-of-the-sudden rejuvenated Fernando Torres, a dubious penalty call, two more incidents that could've easily led to pens, and five total goals made for a bonkers first half in today's Atlético Madrid-Barcelona Copa del Rey match. Then...
Charlie Coyle Stuns Edmonton With Breakaway, Soft-Handed Goal
The body control from Charlie Coyle is my favorite part of his game-winning goal in the third period against the Oilers. His entire body is beginning to whip around the net like he's going to attempt a wraparound, but he somehow manages to tap the puck backwards and then throw his stick out to knock...
