YAYsports! NBA

If you think we’re not seeing this this weekend, you’re crazy. That, and yes…we’re going to watch the Cavs on Sunday. Promise.

By the way, the All-Star jerseys are awful - we don’t see this two-tone front/back thing as anything but confusing.

One of the most exciting things for the 15 people who can call themselves official members of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the opening of the team’s new training facility, which happened lasterday afternoon.
(Tons of pics of the place here.)
Located across the street from the curiously named “LePeep” cafe, and also full of wonderful opening day […]

If you visit the Houston Rockets’ website on a daily basis like we do, you’ll note that they’ve announced a new color scheme to their court.
This may not be as exciting as Phil Jackson going into the Hall of Fame, or learning the real reason why Gilbert Arenas didn’t have his passport to go to […]

Just as most Boston fans, if they follow their typical patterns, have between last night and this morning convinced themselves the Ray Allen deal is for the best, we too have re-evaluated it.
Difference being we still feel the same about it - it stinks.
THAT SAID, the Celtics have some options here - namely, completely ditch […]

We sat and looked at this picture for a long while before scrounging up the courage to find out where it came from.

Such is the case with the Milwaukee Bucks, who unveiled their new home floor yesterday, to the delight of yuletide well-wisher types everywhere.

Looks like they’re going with the PHX style […]

The world was stunned yesterday when the Bucks unveiled their shockingly different new logo and colors.

Bobby Simmons and Michael Redd were there to explain the vast, and again - SHOCKING - changes to the team’s identity.
“The historical Bucks forest green and the silver introduced in 1993 remain in the identity, but purple has been replaced […]

Joe Smith nominates himself for “What the f–k?” treatment
We mentioned on Friday that Vince Carter was trying the half-tight, but we had no idea this thing was the epidemic it actually is. ESPN Page 2’s Paul Lukas is all about tights today, including a timeline explaining just how this whole situation came to be.
It’s […]

Six players, including the Knicks’ Stephon Marbury and Nate Robinson, already have been fined $10,000 apiece for wearing shorts that exceed […]
