The Desire To Be The Best Ever Is What Let The Warriors Achieve It
Seventy-three wins is unfathomable. Seventy-two wins is barely fathomable, and that’s only because the record books say the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls actually achieved it....
Mike Trout Can Dunk And Shoot
A few Angels players went to the Golden State Warriors’ practice today, and the world learned that Mike Trout can do more than just mash taters (he’s still really, really good at that, by the way). Trout can also ball a little bit....
Warriors Tie The NBA Mark For Wins, Screw Spurs Out Of The League's Home Wins Record
The Golden State Warriors pulled off a fantastic triple tonight with their 92-86 win over the Spurs. They won straight-up as the greatest 3.5-point underdogs the league may ever see. They handed their fiercest rival the only home loss of the season, denying San Antonio a chance to top the ’85-’86 Ce...
Crabby Warriors Vs. Bulls Take Contains Zero Evidence, Is Probably Right Anyway
The Golden State Warriors are one hell of a formidable basketball crew, insanely fun to watch, versatile, and with three games left on their schedule, they’re likely to tie or set the league record for wins in a season. The team they’re threatening is arguably the greatest the league ever saw: the B...
Steve Kerr Wants To Rest The Warriors, But The Players Don't Want To Sit
So that’s one question answered. With last night’s surprisingly handy 112-101 win over the Spurs, the Warriors have now clinched the top seed in the West and home-court advantage for as long as they’re still playing. The final three games—at Memphis and San Antonio, then home against the Grizzlies—m...
Harrison Barnes Put Kevin Martin Into The Damn Blender
Tonight, the Warriors became the second team in NBA history to win 70 games, as they comfortably held off the Spurs 112-101. Steph Curry was as omnipotent as he usually is, and the final scoreline is perhaps a bit generous to San Antonio. Kevin Martin had an okay game off the bench for the Spurs, bu...
Kyle Schwarber Carted Off The Field With Leg Injury After Crashing Into Dexter Fowler
Kyle Schwarber and Dexter Fowler collided with each other while chasing a popup that Arizona’s Jean Segura sent into left center in the second inning. Fowler tried to go low, but Schwarber didn’t get out of the way quickly enough and his left leg looks like it got mashed up pretty bad during the col...
The New <i>Star Wars</i> Trailer For <i>Rogue One</i> Looks Cool, I Guess?
If you thought we could get through two consecutive months without some big to-do about Star Wars, you were wrong! The teaser trailer for Rogue One reveals a whole new standalone story from the galaxy far, far away wherein a brand new heroine named Jyn Erso—or that’s what it sounds like, give me a b...
Do You Have Sam Hinkie's Stupid 13-Page Resignation Letter? Give It.
Philadelphia 76ers GM Sam Hinkie resigned this evening, after 76ers ownership attempted to reduce his role even further and bring in additional front office executives....
Breanna Stewart Is A Woman Of Her Word
To nobody’s surprise, the UConn women’s basketball team finished its perfect season with an 82-51 victory over Syracuse in last night’s national championship game. If you’re the kind of jerkass who is constantly looking for reasons to slag women’s college basketball, you could point to UConn’s wire-...
The Warriors Are Ready For The Regular Season To End
After a 124-117 overtime loss to the Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors have lost two out of their last three, and looked rough getting there. They turned the ball over a season-high 24 times, saw Minnesota attempt 28 more free throws, and allowed the T-Wolves enough open looks that they shot a...
Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, The Weeknd, And More Iso Vocals From Last Night's Awards Shows
While you were busy watching Wrestlemania or The Walking Dead or something, a pair of second-tier awards shows aired—one sponsored by a bullshit media company tied into this weekend’s Final Four, and the other just another one of country music’s 184 occasions upon which to celebrate itself. We picke...
Steph Curry Is Some Kind Of Jedi Or Wizard Or Some Shit
At this point, there’s really nothing Steph Curry can do on the court that would genuinely shock anyone. Perhaps aware of this fact, Curry turned last night’s postgame interview into a highlight of its own....
If You Don't Much Care About UConn Women's Hoops, The Feeling Is Mutual
Connecticut is about to win its fourth straight women’s basketball title (heretofore unprecedented in all of college hoops) and all the questions facing coach Geno Auriemma seem to amount to: Why doesn’t anyone care?...
The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa. Six for six he was, the kind of eruption that literally changes the dimensions of the game: He buried one trey from just ...
Please Be Careful When Reaching For A Steph Curry Autograph
Or else you might end up at the bottom of a big pile of rabid Jazz fans....
Cubs Spring Training Game Overrun By Bees
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. I say it will end when our bee overlords choose to end it. That might already be underway at Sloan Park during this afternoon’s Cubs-Mariners game. Jason Heyward was the first victim, and he had to climb the outfield fence to avoid them....
