All this talk about Baron Davis' contract got you down? Us too. Curious how much he wants to stay in the Bay Area? So were we. That's why fearthebeard.org challenged him to build up his "contract karma" by doing some random acts of kindness. Guess what? He said yes...

I've been talking smack about how the finals matchup between the Lakers and Celtics was preordained. But my sources are pretty much, well, me. Now disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy has to go and pour kerosene on my little lantern in the form of the following quotables from the...

Paul Pierce was fined $25,000 for the gesture that you can see him make to Al Horford at the 30-second mark of the video above. It occurred during game three of their first-round series with Atlanta. Kurt Streeter of the LA Times threw down his take yesterday. After speaking with him...

Obama's quick hands netted a few Boom-esque steals while hooping with the Kokomo High Schoolers. His 3-on-3 team, which included Indiana Fever player Alison Bales, took the 15 minute game 15-5.
The Eleventh Hour is upon us. Plus, Def Leppard and Tim McGraw ruin The NBA (and my Sunday).

I knew something wasn’t right this morning when I turned on my TV to see Def Leppard singing a song with Tim McGraw as a part of the ABC pre-game show. Who’s f-ing idea was this? The NBA? ABC? Someone’s on notice for that s#@t! Such musical cow plop wasn&rsquo...

“Nothing is more terrifying than the sudden and unpredictable”
That’s why I just about crapped myself when Nelson put Marco Belinelli in yesterday’s must-win game against Memphis with 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Okay- I wasn’t that worried that...

The next member of the honor roll is our main man Diego. He makes the grade for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he's doing more than helping beard up the Bay Area. He hails from New Mexico and thus becomes our first operative in that great state. But better [...]

If my sense of humor equalled my sense of outrage, I would have found a funny way to make an April Fool’s Day thread out of this. Alas, I’m pissed. Instead of the Warriors game tonight, the good folks at Comcast give us the A’s home opener against the Red Sox (okay...

Yep. Player intros in the background. My beard in the foreground. Gave out some paperbeards too. It’s not that hard. Bearding up is easy. And results are almost guaranteed.
Granted, Monta’s 30 helped. But I’d prefer to chalk it up the “playoff intensity&rdquo...

One of them hates on the Warriors, one of them urges running. Pretty easy to figure out where FTB is going to weigh in. This video was banned by the FCC, as it might induce seizures. But that’s only the last 45 seconds or so. If you start tripping balls, make your move for that [...]

There was the "weird science" from Nellie. There was the mysterious absence of bearditude down the stretch. There was Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni's steadfast refusal to show any quarter, riding Nasty Nash and the starters for extended minutes. And in the end, there...

Some years ago, Charlotte teenager Basil Khalil prepared a science-fair exhibit. It has absolutely nothing to do with science. It’s about basketball. Totally bunk, right? No, no. After looking at it under some CSI-type magnification, it apparently predicts the Hornets&rsquo...

After tonight’s disappointing loss to Hackramento, I needed significantly more hopeful than the singularly annoying visage of Mikki Moore’s post-dunk celebrations to ponder before sleep.
Thankfully, Barack Obama stepped in to rotate and fill the lane defensively where...

This is one of the more difficult of Greene’s laws to apply to the NBA. I understand the economics of it, i.e. “create value through scarcity” and “too much circulation makes the price go down,” but let’s look at our friend Mikael Pietrus. By not...

Argue a missed call, or hustle back on D? Well if you know that Mike Miller is going to be open off that screen anyway, the answer is easy. Argue the call! Stack's totally already knowing what is about to go down. And I finally get it. I didn't understand it before. He'...

The defending champions of the NBA versus a team fighting for playoff contention, or a team that already clinched versus an NHL also ran? Really? Thanks Comcast. Punch through to complain loudly to an unsuspecting Comcast customer service guy.

Some of you surely knew this, but for those who don’t, the call made against Monta Ellis in overtime–for essentially being tackled by Derek Fisher–was made by Bob Delaney. Now, I’m not saying Bob Delaney has mob ties just because he once successfully infiltrated...

SITE INFORMATION
Fear the Beard
The beard is a talisman of belief, of a swagger, of a mentality that has been missing from the East Bay in general—and the Golden State Warriors specifically—for far too long. And while the beard is the perfect symbol of the basketball renaissance, we at fearthebeard.org wish to nominate it as a totem of East Bay pride that extends to a culture larger than professional basketball.
