NBA Playoffs

Stop what you’re doing. Stop everything you’re doing. This is important. Before the Portland Trail Blazers tipped off Game 2 of their second-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs, sophomore forward Thomas Robinson found an “intruder” in their locker room. It was a rattlesnake. True story. Heather Cox of ESPN elaborated on the situation [...]

Russell Westbrook is on record for record three triple-doubles in the last five NBA Playoff games for the Thunder. Even if last night’s triple-double wasn’t authentic Westbrook’s Player Exclusive pair of the Air Jordan XX9 months before the shoe’s release in any color is definitely real. Seen in last night’s Thunder win over the Los [...]

The Toronto Raptors continue their streak of good decisions. Trading Rudy Gay sparked a movement, a playoff berth, a shift in culture. General manager Masai Ujiri and friends have been making awesome decisions—not trading Kyle Lowry, for instance—ever since.

A very, very unfortunate rite of passage. This past weekend was no different. We saw Tim Duncan give the San Antonio Spurs a [...]

Name five things more difficult than playing in the NBA playoffs. Pogo-sticking nude down the busiest of causeways during rush hour in blizzard-like conditions. Tap dancing across a tightrope that’s strung across the mouth of a volcano. Riding on the back of Gustave, the man-eating crocodile. Sitting through any Jamie Kennedy movie for more than [...]

There’s nothing like seeing a multimillion-dollar investment go up in flames at the worst possible time. Why yes, we are referencing the Golden State Warriors’ relationship with the injury-prone Andrew Bogut. How did you know?
