Tweet of the Night: Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins stir up two separate late-night Twitter dramas

by

For anyone who saw, it was more amusing than troubling. After losing on the road 101-88 to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, Kevin Durant curiously posted a photo of himself hookah smoking – mostly to the delight of many fans. He quickly deleted the tweet, claimed his phone was hacked, and took the matter very seriously: Yoooo somebody hacked my phone though…it’s blowing me, not my twitter my phone — Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) January 10, 2014   Textin my contacts crazy messages, my mom, dad brother..disrespecting

Tweet of the Night: Jamal Crawford in awe of Blake Griffin’s monster dunk against Kris Humphries

by

Seemingly every year, some poor soul gets viciously posterized by someone from the Los Angeles Clippers. It happened last season when DeAndre Jordan nearly murdered Brandon Knight, and it happened again on Wednesday when Blake Griffin struck against the Boston Celtics. It’s actually been quite a while since Griffin really put someone on a jaw-dropping, signature poster since doing this to Kendrick Perkins a couple of seasons ago. When Griffin rises for a dunk, players simply know better than to stand in his

Tweet of the Day: Spencer Hawes Supports Dan Le Batard

by

Major League Baseball announced the newest members of its Hall of Fame—Atlanta Braves pitchers, Greg Maddox and Tom Glavine, and Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas—on Wednesday. And, with that announcement, came the revelation from popular website Deadspin that ESPN2’s Highly Questionable star Dan Le Batard had turned his HoF vote over to their followers. The idea of a journalist giving his vote to the people is striking enough as it is, yet Deadspin used the term “buy,” as in they bought

Tweet of the Night: Andrew Bogut appreciates kind gesture of the Bucks fans

by

It took nearly two years, but Andrew Bogut of the Golden State Warriors finally got his chance to play in front of the crowd he called home for six plus seasons on Tuesday. The Warriors played the Milwaukee Bucks just twice last year, and Bogut was unable to play in the team’s only visit to Milwaukee back in January due to a nagging ankle issue. Despite missing so much time during his tenure with the Bucks due to a menu of injuries,

Tweet of the Day: DeMarre Carroll Unhappy With Atlanta Weather

by

The intensely cold weather brought on by a polar vortex continues to freeze many Americans from the midwest across the southeast. Temperatures in midwest are so frigid that the penguins and polar bear in the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is being kept indoors. Atlanta Hawks small forward DeMarre Carroll came to the A-T-L as a free agent in the offseason. The past two stops for the “Junkyard Dog” were with the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets—both cold weather cities. Yet, the

Tweet of the Day: Warriors Teammates, Coach Praise David Lee’s POTW Honor

by

The Golden State Warriors have been balling out of control lately. Winners of nine straight, the Warriors are averaging just over 105 points and 49 rebounds per contest. The last four games of that stretch—spanning from Tuesday, December 31st through Sunday, January 5th—have been a clean sweep of four Southeast divisional opponents, including a blazing 123-114 win over the two-time defending champion Miami Heat. Helping to spearhead this phenomenal streak has been the play of nine-year veteran power forward David Lee, who was

Tweet of the Night: Bill Simmons Believes Cavs Will Waive Bynum

by

As Sunday night winds down, the desired time that both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers had hoped to complete a deal involving Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol has almost expired. Bynum’s contract becomes fully guaranteed Tuesday afternoon at 5:00pm EST, so there is still time to complete a deal, but all parties involved would like such a transaction to happen sooner rather than later to allow time for everything to clear. Sometimes that process can take up to 48

Tweet of the Day: Shane Larkin Laments Cincinnati Bengals Loss

by

Dallas Mavericks rookie point guard Shane Larkin, son of baseball Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. So, it would make sense that he’d have attention turned to the AFC Wildcard game Sunday afternoon between the Cincinnati Bengals and the San Diego Chargers prior to his Sunday night game against the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, the outcome was not as he had hoped. Cincinnati, often lampooned as the Bungles after years of inventing ways to lose games,
