Certain things in the NBA seem sacrosanct — the 82-game schedule, the 48-minute game. These are some of the most basic things the game has to offer. The preseason is time to experiment and the league is experimenting away. You might have noticed the Bobcats and Pistons playing an 11 a.m. tip off Wednesday as […]

Sarver says over the PA that this isn't the team (Spurs) that fans paid to see. He said he'd send a gift to fans who mail him a ticket stub. — Paul Coro (@paulcoro) October 17, 2014

Thursday, Jimmy Butler scored 29 points on 8-for-14 shooting and 12-for-16 shooting from the foul line in 30-plus minutes. His game-winning 3-pointer sent the United Center into a frenzy and even got Tom Thibodeau pumped. Of course, why were the starters playing in the fourth quarter against the Hawks’ second unit in the fourth quarter? […]

Tinder is a thing. It is a thing people do to get dates (apparently).
The simply swipe and instant gratification of judging people and meeting people has value for some people.
It is also a great way to get some hard-hitting NBA analysis. This is clearly the only place to go for the best there is in basketball thought on the 2015 season.
That is where World Wide Wob went because it is clearly the only place to go (warning, some of the language gets salty):
Anderson was only able to play 22 games this season before going down with a brutal neck injury

Forget about Michael Jordan for a bit. Bill Murray is the deciding factor for Ryan Anderson. Space Jam is the greatest basketball movie of all time according to the New Orleans Pelicans forward, upsetting Hoosiers on its way to a championship. Even though Anderson himself is a white man who cannot jump (his words, not […]

The NBA agreed to a new television deal which will nearly triple the television rights coming into the league starting with the 2017 season. Ostensibly, there are very few changes. Games will be on ESPN and TNT still. The nights will change very little too. TNT may get a few off-Thursday nights and the schedule […]

In 1997, Michael Jordan signed a mega contract. Sure, it was only two years, but a two-year $63.3 million contract paid Jordan more in one year than he had made with the Bulls his previous nine seasons in the NBA combined. This was a monster contract now, and it was a monster contract at the […]

The answer… it beats me.
The Thunder has announced that Kevin Durant has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture in his foot. He'll need surgery and miss 6-8 weeks.

Doc Rivers is a master motivator. He devilishly asked his Celtics to give him $100 while they were playing at Staples Center during the 2010 season. He then hid the money inside the visitor’s locker room and said they would get the money back when the team returned to Los Angeles for the NBA Finals. […]

Championship windows are notoriously fickle. Not every team gets to be the Spurs and sit through a decade-long window of championship contention with a never-ending, revolving door of great players that fit a role and stars who are completely selfless. Those just do not exist everywhere — and they all seem to be in San […]
