On Wednesday night, the Suns and Rockets got in a brawl in Houston, though we use the term "brawl" liberally when grasping for how to describe the fray. Really, it was more like a spirited shoving match until Shaq Daddy took...

The Celtics lost their first game of the season last Saturday night in the second-leg of a back-to-back set of games. The early setback brought a couple doubts about the team's toughness a year after they'd won the title that...

Dikembe Mutombo is a universally likable NBA player, donating nearly his entire salary to African relief funds and traipsing across the league as the human personification of the Jolly Green Giant. Minus the green part, of...

There are too many cheesy marriage proposals thrown out there every year at sporting events, and quite frankly, we're sick of it. We can't go to a NBA or NHL game anymore without a second period interruption from some...

What do you get when you combine the woeful reactions of Tracy McGrady in Houston and an overwhelmed Kirk Hinrich in Detroit after the Bulls were totally railroaded by the Pistons? Well, you get a lot less drama than we've...

Before the series, Tracy McGrady said that if the Rockets lost, it would be on him. Well, it's on him. Houston finished a baffling Game 7 loss to Utah with ridiculous defense, passing up a foul on Deron Williams with 10...

In Orlando they called Tracy McGrady the big sleep because his eyes were always so sharply slanted it looked like he was nodding off. But in Game 5 against the Jazz, he put Utah on the edge of nodding off for the summer....

It was awful hard to watch at the time, as two of the classiest NBA superstars in history went head to head, and the Admiral had the floor mopped with him. Houston's Hakeem the Dream dominated David Robinson, Sean Elliot, the...
