Duncan Keith Might Be Superhuman
I was pulling hard for Chicago last night, not because I want them to win this series or because I want Anaheim to lose, but because I wanted to see the Blackhawks play the Ducks one more time. Chicago’s hard-fought 5-2 win, which required holding off yet another attempted Ducks comeback, means we g...
Messi Loops In With Finesse For 399th Barcelona Goal

Celtics fans are hoping Marcus Smart is the next Kevin Garnett, and if this blast to Matt Bonner's nuts is any proof, the rookie is already embracing some of KG's finishing moves. This one, in particular, finished Smart's night; he earned the ejection, and Boston fell 101-89 to the Spurs....

Marco Belinelli Sinks Game-Winner To Give Popovich His 1,000th Win
Gregg Popovich won his 1,000th game tonight, becoming just the ninth coach—and only active one—to reach the mark. And at the risk of deifying the man, the way his Spurs beat the Pacers tonight was perfectly Popovich-ian. Tied with 15 seconds remaining, the unheralded draft choice that developed in...

Ralph Lawler Has The Flu, Broadcasts Most Of Clippers Game In A Mumble
Normally this is where I'd make a couple of jokes, but I'm honestly a bit concerned about longtime Clippers play-by-play man Ralph Lawler, who announced much of the second half of tonight's blowout win over the Lakers like the clip above, in a barely understandable mumble.
