Stephen Curry and the jaded Warrior fan...
Frustration levels surrounding the Golden State Warriors in their home region have never been higher. Just check out what people are saying about Stephen Curry. Chris Cohan (the fake one, not the real one) refers to Curry as “GQ” and constantly points to statistical evidence which paints...

NFL starters sent to slaughter
NFL starters sent to slaughter...
There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal. Then NFL starters who should have been resting for the playoffs started dropping like WNBA players on slippery...

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…What am I missing here?
Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…...
I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

Did Kobe finally learn his lesson?
Did Kobe finally learn his lesson?...
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Kobe Bryant last night that meant passing. In his postgame interview with ESPN’s Doris Burke (who’s so good at her job as a sideline reporter that it’s unsettling, both for the viewer and Phil Jackson, who’s used to treating...

If you gave Rick Adelman truth serum tonight and asked him if he wished Derek Fisher wasn’t suspended for Game 3, he’d surely say yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Jordan Farmar has played games where he’s been more technically proficient, games where he’s shot better and made more...

Did Derek Fisher go too far?
Did Derek Fisher go too far?...
Oh, he’ll be suspended for Game 3. Two quick steps and a forearm shiver will do that, regardless if you’re Ron Artest or future Lakers head coach Derek Fisher. When Fisher blew up Luis Scola and his pick at the same time, Lakers/Rockets morphed from the best series in the playoffs right now...

LeBron James hit a half-court bank shot at the halftime buzzer on his way to a 38/8/7 performance in his first game. Kobe Bryant’s Game 1 didn’t include the same type of videogame statistics, but his thunderous dunk over Paul Millsap in the fourth quarter punctuated a Lakers win that was...

The Neverending Story: Close NCAA Games
The Neverending Story: Close NCAA Games...
As a kid, the commercials didn’t bother me. I’d watch every NCAA Tournament game I could get my eyes on, and even without the luxury of a DVR or more than 30 channels I’d sit through every commercial as if each break were filled by the most amazing movie trailers ever created. Meanwhile,...

Bay Area Forecast: Wind, with chance of ...
As I sit here at my desk, watching a storm zoom towards San Francisco from the west with a windswept quickness that can only mean a weekend full of rain showers, the always changing sports cycle comes to mind, particularly when it comes to the (understandably) cynical fan base around here. Mike Singletary...

Lakers and Spurs Good, but not Perfect...
As good as both the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs are — and both teams are a class above what the Eastern Conference Finals has to offer — neither team is infallible. The Spurs are the defending champions, but have seen no improvement from last year, when the Suns took them to...
