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 […]

0 comments by on 3/14/2015

Although I wouldn’t know, I am sure there’s nothing like posterizing someone. Knowing you humiliated them in front of thousands of people, with the adrenaline pumping, and knowing you just overpowered another human. Yes I am sure one can get very hyped after such feat which is probably why the Hawks’ Dennis Schroder upped the […]
