While there’s plenty of material to mine in people calling out Isiah Thomas’ coaching ability during jury selection of his sexual harassment trial, we feel something of greater importance must be noted on this Tuesday.
No, not the fact that we’re posting on a Tuesday. That’s normal. (If this were early 2006.)
Number one overall draft choice […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he would’ve written it, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids.)
Cleveland fans aren’t in the best of moods right now. The Tribe is playing its first home games in Milwaukee since Major League (though they won last […]

Couple notes here - we’re still sick over the loss to the Seventy-Sixers last night, and also busy today. Thus, we will likely not post anything.
You can get some hot YAY action over at The Big Picture (oops!) however, who interviewed us earlier this week and posted it this morning.
You’ll learn a great many […]

NBA Commish David Stern has probably his busiest weekend of the season ahead of him (especially if it’s Pistons-Spurs again), but he took a few hours to sit down in his office with ESPN’s Sports Guy Bill Simmons.
Great interview, although where are the pictures? We find it hard to believe Bill didn’t demand the opportunity […]

InsideHoops recently sat down with Damon Jones to ask him all about his claims that he’s the greatest shooter in the world. We’ve always liked InsideHoops because they once said this about us:
“Without YAYsports!, oxygen and hydrogen would not form water molecules, and life on planet Earth would cease to exist.”
While that’s […]

Eric Pincus, known on many Laker message boards as “emplay”, regularly covers the team over at Hoopsworld. We skewered him pretty badly almost two months ago when we accused him of making up Kevin Garnett-to-LA rumors.
As you surely remember seeing on CNN and reading about on hundreds of sites from across the world, that single […]

Jamie and the crew at Sportsbloggers Live had an interview with Ron Artest last night, in which the Indiana Pacer fully exposes himself as what we term a “rational/crazy”. That’s someone who is clearly crazy, yet puts it forth in a manner that makes it seem perfectly normal and logical.
He also freestyled for them a […]

Chris Sheridan, the new man on planet ESPN, has a lengthy sit-down with David Stern posted this morning, wherein we hear his thoughts on the public’s view of the NBA and some “dress code” thing. We also get a peek into the silent, deadly methods employed by the man who inspired EXPLOSIONS.
“We’ve gotten more ink […]

When the Raptors traded guard Rafer Alston to the Rockets a few days ago, many Toronto fans breathed a sigh of relief. The rest of them screamed “Jesus Christ, Babs! Do we have any players left on this team!?”
Alston was somewhat of a problem child during his stay up north, although he contends it’s his […]

The Sporting News is a magazine. In that magazine, there is an NBA section. In charge of that NBA section is one Sean Deveney, who Saturday in his mailbag answered your questions, but not before spending four paragraphs talking about hot dogs.
This all transpired after Sean agreed to answer a bunch of questions for […]
