One of the funnest players in NBA history, a hugely important figure in the growth of African basketball, and one hell of a dominant defensive player. RIP.

Hey, another NBA game! I am too surprised that the Mavericks obliterated the Celtics on Thursday, but it was a terrible, poopy game to watch and I hope it will.
Luka Doncic is a great player. Luka Doncic is also a bum. It's hard to square all of that, but it's also hard to see otherwise given his performance this.
I said before the Game 1 thread that I thought a healthy Porzingis would make the difference for the Celtics, if he was indeed healthy. Well, it did....for 2 games. Porzingis is now out with yet another leg injury. I feel so bad for the...
The Logo has left us. Other than West being a great, great player, he came back into the public consciousness with Winning Time, a pretty good if certainly not great.

All Hail King Jokic! A week after it looked like Denver was on the ropes, having sleepwalked through the series with the Lakers and then getting their asses handed to them twice at home by Minnesota, Nikola Jokic has simply reminded everyone that he is...
Another night of playoffs means another NBA and general sports open thread. The games tonight are not necessarily that interesting--the Celtics are going to eviscerate Cleveland again. Mavs-Thunder could be.
Time for an NBA playoff open thread (feel free to talk NHL too if you are so inclined or MLB too). Boston is presently up on Cleveland toward the end.
