By sending arguably their most popular player since Baron Davis was dunking on [...]

July 27, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Yesterday the NBA released its 2012 regular season schedule. This is a pretty freaking great day, as it sets up what you’ll be doing on such holidays as Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day. It’s always good to plan ahead.

July 10, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Yesterday it was reported by Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star that the Indiana Pacers will be keeping their man in the middle, Roy Hibbert.
