Dallas isn’t down and out yet from the playoff race

0 comments by on 3/14/2015

Because the regular season is way too long, because the West is beyond every basketball fan’s wildest dreams, because the Mark Cuban/Rick Carlisle/Dirk Nowitzki train has been chugging along longer than any organizational foundation outside of San Antonio and because Rajon Rondo attracts blame like super models attract teenage boys. These are among the many reasons the […]

0 comments by

Usually coaches don’t get loose before games, but the Clippers’ Doc Rivers needed to get his neck warmed up as well and went to town on the bench as […]

0 comments by

0 comments by

It took just six seasons, but Clippers center DeAndre Jordan nailed his first career three-pointer versus Dallas. Jordan had gone 0-7 prior to tonight’s three but from the video below, he showed off he can hit the deep shot even when he’s a couple more feet beyond the arch. See, he is more than just […]

Hornets’ fan takes a face full of basketball leather

0 comments by on 3/11/2015

Oh man! During the Kings-Hornets game, the ball went sailing out of bounds and into the stands where one Hornets fan found out what a basketball tastes like. Instead of paying attention to the game, this fan was too busy checking on a cell phone and had no idea the ball was on a trajectory with […]

Kevin Durant is not going to play for this man, and even if he’s fired at the end of the season, that will surely be much too late to change KD’s mind. No star player is going to look at Scott’s handling of D’Angelo Russell and conclude that the Lakers are a good place to chase championships.

Lakers’ Byron Scott’s got playoff jokes

0 comments by

At a current record of 17-46, the Lakers are all but eliminated from the postseason, even though they were practically eliminated from the playoffs since Game 1 of their season. No Kobe Bryant, no Julius Randle, and a roster full of players who don’t have the chops to lead L.A. to the playoffs, all but […]

Growing Giannis Antetokounmpo

Revisiting old drafts is an intoxicating habit for any sports dweeb fan. The 2013 NBA draft class has been fascinating to watch for this reason — it’s less than two years later and the entire lottery would be ripped up and thrown out if the GMs (and former GMs) could do it all over again. It’s […]

0 comments by on 3/10/2015

99 percent of basketball fans this season wouldn’t know the Pacers’ record if you gave them three guesses. That’s what happens when Paul George, one of basketball’s great talents, goes down with a freak injury, derailing a perennial contender’s chances before the season starts. But wait! With Indiana’s 118-86 thrashing of Orlando on Tuesday, the […]

Kawhi Leonard puts Toronto’s Valanciunas on a poster

0 comments by

At 7’0″, 255 pounds, you would think the Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas would intimidate anyone who dared to drive to the rim. I mean look what he did to the Cleveland Cavs’ LeBron James! But even though Jonas slammed to the court LeBron, didn’t intimidate Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard as he flew right at the big man and […]
