“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 […]

Yeah, so my parents probably named me after a guy that looks
like Baba Booey,
and who wears white bicycle shorts. So what? Who were you named after? Jerkface McGee? Probably.
There is big internet buzz about this game (get it? BZZZ!), and it’s
deserved. The Trail Blazers continue to play well, and the Hornets show no
signs of letting […]

Commenter MC Welk pointed this out, and it’s worth sharing:
because it’s the halfway point in the NBA season, FOXsports.com’s Charley Rosen
has put together a
bulleted list of unanswered questions about every team.
Actually, he does answer one question. And the answer is,
you guessed it, "Hell yeah!!!" 
Much maligned around the internet, Charley can be wrong a
lot of times, […]

Hawks center Zaza Pachulia has been suspended by Atlanta coach Mike Woodson. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says it’s because of an incident that happened in the middle of Atlanta ’s loss to the Trail Blazers on Monday, but we know better. The real skirmish went down in practice the next day.
Obviously, we’re well connected, and we’ve […]

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.

Flea doesn’t just want Laker fans to stop booing Kwame Brown, rather, he wants all
fans in general to […]

Credit to Jayda Evans of the Seattle Times for
passing this along on her blog. She’s reporting that two writers from Oklahoma City’s Oklahoman newspaper were …
" … dispatched to Dallas, which is about 200-miles south of
OKC, to begin work on features. One is a "get to know your Sonics"
type piece where every player is expected […]

At 10 p.m. all the restaurants in downtown Boise close down. Well, all the restaurants close at 10 except one. Old Chicago Pizzeria stays open ‘til midnight. Although I was not in the mood for pizza at all, I found myself at Old Chicago after my last game with my agent Bill and my teammate […]

I’m horrible at video games, and always have been. The only non-sports game
I’ve ever beaten was Contra, and you
can probably
guess why.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not transfixed by the potential to while the hours
away playing this
game, Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden,
which can
be downloaded here.
Here’s the trailer for this masterpiece:

Charles, jamming, Michael Jordan, […]

We once again apologize for the video quality, but this clip is still worth showing.
Milwaukee Buck guard Charlie Bell missed a lay-up last night, and teammate
Royal Ivey decided to slap the hell out of the back of his head. Charlie, as
you’d expect, took offense.

This was mentioned in the comments of the liveblog
from the other day, […]

Deadspin’s
Will Leitch is still smarting from Mark Cuban’s assertion that Will’s site
is "the Inside Edition of sports." And Mark wouldn’t be wrong effusing that
sentiment, you can only openly question and/or joke about a prominent NFL
quarterback’s sexual orientation (as if leaning toward one side or the other
should be inherently funny to grown-ups) for so long before […]
