The Boston Celtics Have A Moral Obligation To Get The Fuck Out
The conference finals have been crud. In the West, what should have been the Golden State Warriors’ first true test became a joyless, perfunctory mercy-killing a little over halfway through Game 1, thanks to a goon doofus’s misplaced foot. In the East, meanwhile, what should have been a deliciously ...

The Ducks Must Be So Sick Of This
Ryan Getzlaf said every season ending hurts if you’re not lifting the Cup, “it doesn’t matter what round it is.” I don’t think I believe him. I think it has to hurt much worse when you’ve come this close, this many times—two conference finals in three years—and when you feel you outplayed your oppon...

The Predators Have Graduated
In their 18th season, the Nashville Predators are going to the Stanley Cup Final. And here’s what a conference-winning goal looks like—or maybe more importantly, sounds like:...

The Warriors Are Playing As Well As They Have All Year And The Finals Await
The Warriors last lost on April 10, when the desperate Utah Jazz beat Golden State by six points in the final week of the NBA regular season. Since then, they have swept their way through three consecutive series, only ever running into occasional trouble and spending most of their time protecting h...

Manu Ginobili Never Slowed Down
The Spurs got wrecked tonight, as most everyone expected they would. Golden State is headed to the Finals, and Manu Ginobili looks like he is probably going to hang ‘em up. While the Argentinian legend has yet to make a formal announcement about his plans, he has hinted that he would probably retire...

The Nashville Predators Are Going To Their First Stanley Cup Final

Nick Ritchie Tags Viktor Arvidsson With The Mark Of The Beast<em></em>
Viktor Arvidsson headed to the bench bearing a crimson R upon his forehead after being boarded by Anaheim’s Nick Ritchie. That’s great, but let us know when one of the Russian guys pulls this off in Cyrillic. ...

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....

The NBA's Push For Parity Backfired With These Garbage Playoffs
The NBA playoffs, in theory if not always in practice, is the best postseason system in all of sports. After a bloated and distended regular season, the playoffs come around and pit the great teams against the merely good ones, the former whittling down the latter until all that’s left is the very b...

Kevin Love Threw A Perfect Touchdown Pass
Hi, did you watch Game 3? We all definitely did. I’m sure you did too. So there’s no need for you to watch these replays of Kevin Love’s full-court outlet pass to LeBron James, which you are totally not seeing for the first time. (And don’t sleep on James’s box-out of Marcus Smart; Smart had no opti...

Zaza Pachulia Partially Blames Gregg Popovich For Spurs Fans Threatening His Children
The Spurs were probably not going to win the West, no matter what. But they definitely were not going to win the West after Kawhi Leonard sprained his ankle in Game 1 when he landed on a closing-out Zaza Pachulia. Leonard tried to gut it out for a couple of minutes; he hasn’t played since, and is qu...

The Celtics Won The Game
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a game I definitely watched, was one for the ages. Due to the absence of Isaiah Thomas and the fact that the first two games of the series were huge blowouts, some basketball fans may have ignored the game and spent last night doing laundry and watching old e...

This Was The Most Dominant Possession of The Playoffs
The Penguins’ 7-0 destruction of Ottawa in Game 5 was such an ass-kicking that it warranted the Jim Ross treatment, a rare honor for an NHL game. But don’t let the brutality distract from some truly awe-inspiring hockey....

Celtics Win On Avery Bradley Last-Second Three
What looked to be another NBA conference final blowout turned into a shocking Celtics win after Boston erased a 20-point deficit and beat the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Avery Bradley’s last-second three-pointer....

The NBA Finals Begin June 1
Kawhi Leonard sat on the sidelines last night, his ankle injury keeping him out indefinitely. David Lee left the game in a wheelchair thanks to a partially torn tendon in his knee. JaVale McGee scored 16 points in the first half while LaMarcus Aldridge scored six. ...

Isaiah Thomas Is Out For The Rest Of The Playoffs
Whatever scrap of hope the Celtics might have had for being able to resemble something competitive against the Cavaliers is probably gone: Isaiah Thomas is officially out for the remainder of the postseason....
