The Warriors have fallen short of expectations this year as they settle into sixth place in the Western Conference. The Mark Jackson and Stephen Curry-led group has struggled at times offensively even with the addition of Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut’s return to health. That has been the big surprise. The Warriors have won 10 […]

Hopefully the Spurs mascot, “The Coyote,” gets hazard pay because he definitely earned it versus the Nuggets in San Antonio.
During the game, Denver’s Aaron Brooks went chasing after the ball out of bounds only to have the Coyote standing in his way. The result was some “road kill” as Brooks barreled over him resulting in the mascot losing his eyes… literally. (h/t Project Spurs)

Well, they did it. The Sixers tied an NBA record with 26 straight losses. The 26th came in Thursday’s 120-98 loss to the Rockets in Houston. Philadelphia can set the record with a 27th straight loss Saturday night in Philadelphia against Detroit.

Any time you throw the word “rape” around it is loaded and usually uncalled for. Bob Knight should know this better than anyone. Yet, he did it again. In no way should Knight have used the term in this context. All flak he receives for the comparison of a professional sports league taking the best […]

Wouldn’t that be nice. That family would get a lot of stuff done.

The Knicks were looking like they found their groove. Winning eight straight games, and even hiring Phil Jackson to the front office. Then they fell apart versus the Lakers, as LA defeated Knicks. Yes the lowly Lakers beat the Knicks.
So leave it to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith (devoted Knicks fan) to go on air and lose his mind over NY and their bi-polar play all season long.

Oh Nick Young.
You may be one of the better three-point shooters in the NBA but sometimes you still need to make sure the ball falls through the net before rejoicing.
During the Lakers-Knicks recent game (or embarrassment for New York) Lakers’ Young was on fire from behind the arch. He hit 5-6 from long range but the lone miss ended in a way he probably wishes he can do-over.
See, Nick felt very confident the shot was going down, he turned away from the basket, started to celebrate but little did he know, he missed.

ESPN had its full hashtagging glory out for this third matchup between the Heat and Pacers last night. You would be excused if you did not feel the same buzz however. Both teams are comfortably one and two in the Eastern Conference and do not have a whole bunch to play for. They both have […]

When NBA officials revisit sleeved-jerseys after season, they want input from several players, including but not limited to LeBron James. — Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt) March 26, 2014
“I heard a baby in his room. There was somebody or something in his room, yeah. I definitely heard something. It wasn’t creepy, because I assumed it was really somebody in the room, and they gave him the wrong room. But when they told me the story the next day about calling up there and no one in the room, it’s at that point you get chills. I totally agreed with him. There was a baby there, absolutely. I heard about the history of the place, and I’d rather not (stay there again).”

Anderson was only able to play 22 games this season before going down with a brutal neck injury

When the then-New Orleans Hornets acquired Ryan Anderson via a sign-and-trade with the Magic in the 2012 offseason, they expected to get the sharpshooting power forward who blossomed into a star in his final year in Orlando. For the 2012-13 season, New Orleans got exactly that from him, as the former Nets draft pick scored […]

The NFL has officially banned goalpost dunking as touchdown celebrations. Particularly after Jimmy Graham broke the uprights and delayed a game in Atlanta.
Graham was one of the best NFL dunkers thanks to his time as a star player on Miami’s basketball team. He just lifts up and dunks with as much ease as he scores touchdowns. (more…)
