Game 4 was.......something. That was just about the craziest thing I've ever seen. New York fans are flooding San Antonio for this game. They might be a majority of the crowd. Can the Spurs win and push it to 6? I think they probably can...

After an amazing Game 1, most of the games between OKC and San Antonio haven't been that interesting, but as a series it has been totally fascinating. I of course.

I was at the Blazers-Jazz game last night--hot times in NBA action there!--and who should walk by me but Nosferatu himself! Why was the commissioner at this garbage game (which was still fun for me but objectively, it was a garbage game)? Because the state...

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.
