Blake Dunks! Also, Thunder Lose Big
It’s All Their Fault!
The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost twice in 13 games. Each time, it was easy to find scapegoats. Step 1: look at the box score. Step 2: blame everyone not named Kevin or Russell.
Durant and Westbrook each rose to the challenge of tonight’s intense battle with the host Los Angeles Clippers. They combined for 67 points on 58 percent field goal shooting and...

Durant Plays the Strings, and Every Other Instrument
The numbers tell us that Kevin Durant is one of the most potent offensive weapons in NBA history. They don’t lie, but neither do they sum up all that makes the man Twitter knows as @KDTrey5 such a unique athlete.
Durant’s smoothly-flowing style would earn him multiple comparisons to jazz soloists, if anyone under the age of 45 still listened to jazz. In honor of this obsolete...

It's a little campy, with background music for the yoga, but fun.

With NBA owners and player’s association about to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, we will finally see an end the NBA lockout and get to see our former UK Cats live out their NBA dreams. If the deal is agreed on by a majority on both sides, the NBA will fully reopen for business Friday with the beginning of training camps and free agency. Its worth noting a joint NBA...

Days of NBA Lives: Wherein Roy Hibbert is afraid of zombies

How does a K-Love work out? Here's one example.
We talk a lot about Kevin Love's "working out" to lose weight, or getting his game legs, and all that. I've wondered before about how players' workouts look. Randy Foye's rehab process, which really occupied all his time here, is familiar, but how would our Wolves be keeping in shape during the down time?
Nazr Mohammed's tweets about the lockout have impressed me -- he's straightforward...

NBA players' blind viewpoints during lockout
Nazr Mohammed and Etan Thomas are two of the sharpest knives in the NBA players drawer. But in recent days, as both men issue viewpoints on the lockout, they're demonstrated an acute disconnect from the financial realities that separate them from basketball fans and the real economic world. And these 'sharpest knives in the drawer' come across like a couple of sporks...

For starters, it should be noted that at least the players are willing to talk about these things. They’re brave enough to go on Twitter, to talk to reporters, to have conversations about the state of the lockout and the potential end of the season. Their position is obviously as biased as it can be,…

I don't know how many times I've said it, but gag order on NBA personnel regarding the lockout and threats of heavy fines for contacting players is absurd. Yet, they exist, even on Twitter, which Miami Heat owner Micky Arison found out the hard way.
So quite a few people found it interesting that the NBA's new, verified Twitter account decided to contact players on Twitter yesterday...
