It is so on today in Washington, when Game 4 gets going in primetime between the Cavaliers and the Wiz.
Wizards coach Eddie Jordan is doing his best Pat Riley by pointing out ahead of time how he’d like the game called differently from Game 3. We appreciate that’s part of the job now, but […]

Let’s get this other junk out of the way, so we can charge headfirst into today’s true passion: complaining about Eddie Jordan.
Detroit Bad Boys cared about last night’s loss more than the Pistons themselves.
Jeremy Piven carried Vanessa Marcil out of a bar. We only mention this because we needed an excuse to do that Photoshop […]

We love how they set up the schedule this weekend - basically, all the series we find boring went yesterday, and all the ones we’re into are today.
What that means is we were planted in front of the TV all day Saturday anyway, even though it made us miserable. That said, one highlight […]

Great win by the Kings last night at the buzzer to bring the series to 2-1. Not much chance they win this thing, but at least the air got cleared a bit for Frenchie.

If you’re even a casual NBA fan, we don’t really need to tell you what happened in Cavs-Wizards Game 3.
All three playoff games were incredible last night, and LeBron’s performance was arguably the best. 41 points, game-winning bucket, and - let’s stop there.

Much like the “when will Cleveland get some help for Drew Gooden” question has been nagging the Cavaliers all year, “when will Kobe step aside for Luke Walton” has been an ongoing drama in Los Angeles for years.
Well, last night it finally happened, as #8 took eighteen shots to Luke’s nineteen. If you subtract one […]

If you haven’t refreshed your browser lately, now might be the time to do so - take a look at just how different things are. It’s all changed, as you can see. We’ll have all our thoughts on last night’s action up in a bit, but for now, it’s time to celebrate this blog’s 1000 […]

Enough of this “Brendan Haywood has lifted the Earth over his shoulders and changed the world” garbage.
LeBron was missing layups before Haywood hit him, and he was missing layups afterward. You have to wonder how many people actually watched the game, and how many are trying to retrofit it into their personal agenda they require […]

FoxSports is running a blog contest to find the Next Great American Sportswriter. We’re considering entering, not because we particularly want to write for FoxSports, but because we want to see how many days we can get away with just copying our material from here over to there.
UPDATE: By cleverly disguising our logo, we can’t […]

There are a couple reasons magazines are becoming obsolete.
One is global warming causing things like the Great Neosporin Shortage of 2004, which redered papercuts deadlier than ever here in the future. The other are things like ESPN the Magazine’s NBA Playoff Preview arriving yesterday with the cover story “Why Nobody Wants to Play the […]
