I'll give him this. If you are dumb enough to pay for Kings or 76ers tickets, a DVD on any topic is probably going to have some impact on you.

Even if they rally to make the playoffs, they aren't making it through the west playoffs winning three consecutive road series. 1995 Rockets title defense is not a good comp, the Thunder's role players are not going to regularly perform well in big playoffs road games and Scott Brooks. The Thunder haven't spent big…

The ESPN v Simmons Cold War enters another phase. The next 8 months should be fun.

Comment in an interview about wanting to be on a league with the NBA TV deal aside, Fox makes the most sense, right, as: he'd draw traffic to their ghost town website, where he could have massive control and poach Grantlanders as their contracts come up; oversee and manage Fox Sports TV documentary division; his and…

As a practical matter, it does mean they won't play. The NBA wants to further crush the NBAPA and get a hard cap, but they don't want to be the side to opt out. When the NBA doesn't play games, it will technically be a lockout and you are right about that. Most of the public and a lot of the media will call it both…

I'm sorry that you have also been banned from playing a sport you love. Would REALLY like to meet you. Sincerely, Alex Rodriquez

So, NBA may not opt out of the CBA in 2017 (solely for the strategic blame reasons to follow); NBA players opt out looking for 55% and to saber rattle on issues like max deals; that makes the work stoppage a players strike and not a lockout by the league, which Adam Silver and ESPN will parrot every day and say that…

As the podcast ran with the "motherfuckers" already bleeped out by Grantland, I think it's a stretch for others to call it profane. I know many people including the author clearly know this. But many news outlets botched this point. The podcast never ran with any obscenities actually being said. Not bitching…

Simmons contract is up again in 2015, right?

"without leasing a teen," is this story about L.T.?

This explains why the Kings keep trying to trade for him.

Look if people want to be upset with Hope, my list is: (1) the last round of photos that hit the web. You are doing that wrong. Those were not keepers; (2) married Stevens; (3) much cooler sounding fake name; (4) seems like an odd duck; and (5) maybe how the media is covering this messy story.

Carlos approves!

"I mean Stevie Ray Vaughn is dead and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi into a helicopter? Come on folks." Leary

Geale did provoke him.

I recall their first run at them in the late 90s. They leagues loved it for the TV rights bidding wars, but in the end people were just trained to get TV sports from ESPN. 15 more years of that and 2-4 ESPN Channels in most homes ... they can make a dent and slowly grow a share if they make better TV ... but they…

A trade would be super easy because of the Haywood contact they traded for which is a 10 million cap hold that is waivable for new team. As such, they could do Wiggins and Haywood for Love and extend him with Bird Rights.

Yes

No, that violates HIPPA

Brad Millard who had a good sophomore season at Saint Mary's in the late 90s, stayed in school instead of declaring for the 1997 draft, kept breaking his feet, and never played in the NBA.
