The Spurs are going to make the Lakers look like the hopelessly dysfunctional, sad lost puppies they truly are. Sorry to break it to you, I really and truly am. Everyone knows I’m a lifelong Laker fan and while I’m often accused of being a homer, I’d insist I’m unfailingly practical and shit.…
Yep. I named my award after a 20 year old rap skit. Hey, my site, my rules. Anyway… The JD’s Gafflin’ Award for excellence in one-sided trading goes to… Daryl Morey, for getting James Harden from Oklahoma City for about 40 cents on the dollar. Listen, we’ll never really have the full grasp of how…
I never cared much for end of the season awards. It’s alot like your ranking articles or whatever. I’ll be the first to admit I can never resist reading any “Top 50 players of all-time” article. I’d read “top 50 left-handed point guards under 6 feet tall” if someone could be bothered to write it,…

Sorry, but the backlash is in full effect. I expect to be actively rooting against Louisville by halftime. 2. Louisville in your…
I just. I mean. What the. Is it racist? it sure feels like it, somehow, but don’t ask me, I’m still trying to figure out what the fuck it is. The beard has a horizontal braid. The mohawk looks like two day old poop. They couldn’t even get their shit together enough to put the…
Basketball is all soft and cuddly and fight-free now. I mean, all sports are these days, mostly as a result of what the world now knows about head injuries and such. For that reason at least, I see nothing wrong with the people in charge putting rules in place to keep athletes safe. That said,…
