Dear “The Cavalier”,
Over the course of the last 2 NBA seasons and the 2005 NBA Eastern Conference Semis we have grown fond of your […]

We’re going to tread carefully here with what follows, as we’re not in the mood to jump to conclusions regarding the guilt of Sacramento forwards at the moment.
Ron Artest was arrested this morning for allegedly beating up and/or injuring a woman in his estate type place in the suburb of Loomis.

There’s a war brewing in Dallas, friends.
No, it’s not between the Mavs and Spurs, the latter of whom beat the former last night.
The war we’re speaking of is between Mavs owner Mark Cuban and NBA Commish David Stern.
(Background: Cuban is “energetic” and counter to the typical owner, both on and off the court. Stern […]

We have to question a few things, and we’ll have a lot to say in the next 15 hours or so, as you can imagine. The […]

As reported first by brand new Mamba T-shirt owner Becky, Nets SF Richard Jefferson will play in Game 2 tonight.
Just for kicks, let’s get some confirmation on that. Nope, that’s just another “Shaq is old” column. Capitalization aside, we’ll believe Becky, although she doesn’t approve of RJ’s decision:

Sorry to have to go Philly on another thief, but when Chris at End of the Bench noted that he’s been having a back-and-forth with this dildo, our interest was ignited. You see, we’ve been aware of this latest one for a couple weeks, and have sent a bunch of emails, all of which get […]
