Lakers center Andrew Bynum is at again. Last seen clobbering a guy half his size in last year's playoffs, he's graduated to taking handicap parking-spots in L.A. Now, we know this guy is obviously mentally handicapped, but I don't think that qualifies. Los Angeles' NBC 4 caught Bynum on video parking in a handicap-spot when there [...]

This is not a post about Jeff Green. This is not a post about getting another big man (or four). And this is not a post suggesting we move Ray or Paul to the bench. This is a post about our most pressing need, to solve a problem the Celtics have faced for years. We [...]

Now that the Dallas Mavericks have wrapped up the 2010-11 Finals with a thoroughly satisfying win over the Miami Heat, the wicked smaht people have released their championship odds for next year:   Cantor Race/Sports Bodog Heat 2-1 5-2 Bulls 6-1 6-1 Lakers 7-1 11-2 Mavericks 7-1 10-1 Thunder 7-1 8-1 Celtics 8-1 12-1 The [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump Mark Jackson has agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract to coach the Golden State Warriors. Jackson, who has no coaching experience, is one more signature hire of [...]

Via CSN Bay Area: The Warriors have been purposely quiet about their head coaching search, so no wonder it's been tricky separating the frontrunners from the also-rans. Mike Brown was considered a leading candidate, but then he took the Los Angeles Lakers head job. Dwane Casey, Lawrence Frank and Brian Shaw are now said to be on [...]

Twenty-six years ago… the Celtics throttled the Lakers 148-114 in Game 1 of the 1985 NBA Finals. (Click here to watch NBA.com video) What a game. Danny Ainge with 15 points in the 1st quarter. Robert Parish with a statue-worthy bitch-slapping of Kareem. Mr. Perfect Scott Wedman was 11-11. How about that crowd? An intense [...]

Mike Brown is the new Lakers head coach… a result of team VP Jim Buss' search.  It's part of a new push to distance the Lakers from the Phil Jackson era and move in a new direction. Now… I know what a lot of you are thinking.  That new direction will involve Dwight Howard because [...]

Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images A lot of voting for post-season awards in sports… not just the NBA… is based on reputation.  Kobe Bryant has a reputation as a pretty good defender who can lock a guy down if he wants.  The problem is… he can't do that anymore.  And I don't care that he [...]

We could all definitely use a laugh right now, and at who's expense better than old friend KB24. Via the folks at Funny or Die: (warning, NSFW language)   [...]

The Lakers season came to a spectacular end this afternoon in Dallas. Nothing screams "quitting" like a 36-point ass-whooping in an elimination game. Rather than go out with an ounce of class, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom chose to drop a few cheap shots on the Mavs in garbage time. Even die-hard Lakers bloggers are [...]
