“Coach…it hurts when I suck.”Cleveland Cavaliers: The Cavs hit a missing rung in their climb back to semi-respectability, losing 90-81 to the Atlanta Hawks. Lebron James scored more points in the fourth quarter (14) than any of his teammates did in the entire game. Seriously, the Cavs (James excepted) shot the ball like they were […]

We’re going to try another
liveblog tonight, from the United Center in Chicago,
and we’d truly appreciate it if you’d swing by and leave a comment or 14.
Chicago is coming off their best game of the season, a
30-point thrashing of the Miami Heat that was only notable for its emphasis on
the repetition of the premise that […]

I’m going to try and be delicate with this, even though I’m
pretty sure as to where this sort of post will lead. One group of fans is going to dominate the other in this instance, because for over a decade, the
Toronto Raptors have boasted an enthusiastic and devoted fan base rivaled only
by outposts in New […]

A look around the league and the web that covers it.
It’s also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren’t
always listed in order of importance. That’s for you, dear reader, to figure
out.

past, and once recorded an album that […]

I had to shove all other posts aside and get this up as soon as
possible, because America
(nay … the world) needs to see this as soon as possible.

Larry Hughes, purportedly signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2005 to offer
spacing and second scoring option behind LeBron James, is in the midst of a
miserable shooting slump. And we’re being generous with the "slump"
designation, because this guy has a different approach to the whole "jump shot"
thing every time he leaves his feet, and the results […]

I can’t stand the block/charge call. I think the NBA calls too many charges,
I think the NBA calls too many blocks, and I think that the game has suffered
immensely because an entire generation of "defenders" has been disabused of the
notion of moving their feet and/or trying to block shots. Why? Because they
keep getting bailed out […]

Phoenix 106, Los
Angeles Lakers 98
The Suns may have shot 52 percent and scored 106 points, but it was the
Laker offense that failed on Thursday night.
21 turnovers, 38 percent shooting against a sometimes-lousy defensive team,
a gaggle of missed layups and a 16-25 mark from the free throw line … there’s
no excuse for that. The Lakers are […]

This clip has a bit of a Zapruder film quality to it, and
I’m guessing that as far as Kevin McHale is concerned, he feels that the slight
against him was nearly as significant. We’ll let you decide:

OH MY GOD!

Johnny Most losing his mind over a […]
