Grizz gets revenge on Blazers’ Lopez

0 comments by on 3/22/2015

The mascot strikes back! Blazers’ Robin Lopez has had a running fued with NBA mascots. For some reason, Lopez just doesn’t like the mascots that bring a smile to fans in the stands. Up until today, Lopez had the best of mascots but Memphis’ mascot – Grizz – got some revenge on Robin on behalf […]

Are you ready to get out of your seat? Because you might set your eyes on what is arguably the dunk of the year. Against the Hornets, the Kings’ Derrick Williams obliterated Hornets big man Bismack Biyombo with a dunk that ranks right up there with any humiliating dunk the Clippers’ Blake Griffin might serve up. […]

0 comments by

You don’t mess with the “Red Mamba.” Ever! And Boston’s Marcus Smart found out the hard way when he hit Matt in his “red mamba” in the second half of the Spurs-Celtics game tonight.  Coming off a pick, Smart and Bonner got tangled up when Marcus took a jab at Matt’s groin. The result… “Red […]

Many considered the Big 12 the best conference in the country this season. I wouldn’t disagree. While previewing the conference for USA Today Sports this fall, I looked at team after team — Iowa State to Oklahoma State to West Virginia — and thought “Wow, the Big 12 may get eight teams in the Big […]

Yeah this is going to sting a bit for Utah’s Rudy Gobert. Against the Wizards, Gobert was on the wrong end of a powerful, ego-crushing dunk courtesy of Nene. Check out Nene making Gobert look silly and the Wizards’ bench jumping out of their seats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGbcS6SeuQ

Lou Amundson’s airball is glorious

0 comments by

Justttttt a bit short there Lou! NYC’s Lou Amundson may have been the hero for the Knicks in their recent win over the defending champs Spurs when he forced overtime with a game-tying layup but versus the Wolves that was a different story. Heading right to the rim, Lou found himself with the easiest layup a player […]

Bulls’ Noah celebrates too rough with teammates

0 comments by on 3/18/2015

Hey take it easy there Joakim! It’s bad enough the Bulls don’t have their point guard Derrick Rose on the court due to injury, but if Joakim Noah keeps abusing his teammates after every great play, their injury list may grow. After the Bulls’ win over Indiana, Noah decided to punch and push around his […]

Hawks’ coach Bud is utterly stunned at ref’s call

0 comments by on 3/17/2015

Usually when an NBA ref makes a bad call, head coaches go right at the ref and spout out a verbal tirade, hoping to either get the ref to reverse the call or just to voice their opinion at a bad call. But not Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer, who gave the ref the stare […]

Why NBA fans love Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz

0 comments by

The NBA is full of fantastic mini-barometers used to measure just how closely one person is following along or not. Unlike following a popular TV show, where “I’m not caught up yet” is a permissible excuse for abbreviating any discussion (i.e. every dinner/coffee/party conversation in my proximity that ventures near Breaking Bad), sports fans are expected to […]

Will the Thunder Make the Playoffs Without Serge Ibaka?

Oklahoma City’s season has been complicated by injuries from the beginning. Kevin Durant has missed approximately half the season with foot/ankle injuries, and MVP candidate Russell Westbrook has missed 16 games with various injuries.
