I don't spend a lot of time listening to what butt-faced shitbags are up to for fun, but what the fuck is this? Seriously? He's just allowed to say that on an ESPN radio station?

Hate to be the wet blanket here, but I'm betting heavily in several types of pools on these guys for all of the above reasons, so expect an early flameout.

I'm confused: he doesn't want to "uproot his family" from their baller place in San Diego to slide a hundred miles up the coast to Los Angeles (he could probably commute if it were really that big a deal), but he's willing to be traded to Houston or sign with, I dunno, Tennessee? Either he's really fucking stupid, or…

Interesting. Thanks for the response.

Can you elaborate on your hatred of nitro? Or at the very least provide a link to where you've described it before?

Ease up on the "regret not knowing" talk. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's 24, not 18, and while a lot of 24 year olds working in restaurants don't know what they want to do with their lives (I sure as hell didn't), that's a lot different than a 24 year old who played at a Big Ten powerhouse and had a great year…

It wasn't exactly meaningless. It was on national television, it had tons of big stars (including the league's biggest individual star and its defending champions), and both teams could use the W for what's becoming increasingly contentious playoff seeding in their respective conferences. As the NBA continues to rise…

Gentry's face in that GIF is pretty great, too. He's not even into the make, but what can you do?

"Gordon Hayward Better Get The Fuck Out Of My Face, Or Else We Fuckin'" wins. Well done, Bill.

That's amazing.

True story.

I'm pretty new to going to a bunch of games in a given season, but one of the coolest parts is watching the visiting teams interact with one another and their coach. It's equally apparent when a team is having a great time with each other and when a team is not. One of the weirder aspects, though, is when a team seems…

Steve Hyden had a good tweet about that when Robin Williams died. It went something like, "This is your periodic reminder that it's okay to say you like someone's work when they're alive to hear it."

I applaud you for writing this entire, beautiful piece without once mentioning the hair.

It was always that speed burst that got me.

Or the face of a man who has just decided to work on a buyout and hit the road because fuck those clowns, he wants no part of being on a team where beating a bad Eastern Conference team at home in overtime is reason for that kind of celebration.

And don't forget about the point guard prospect that came in and ran the team for a year and a half at its lowest point and almost made the All-Star team. That trade couldn't have worked out any better, considering who went out.

I'm on-board through next All-Star break. He won't have Parker until next season and he'll be running a slimmed-down version of the offense for the remainder of this one. The big things for the current campaign will be playing defense, getting out in transition, and finding guys as they come open, which they do often…

Which I'm going to choose to hope has a lot to do with not having very good teammates and often finding himself in less-than-ideal situations. And anyway, he can't be any worse than Brandon Jennings was two or three years ago.
