Awesome buzzer beater from a little league game in Iceland. He hits it from waaaay back. Not exactly bawful but worth a look.

Nyets sign Mario West to 10-day contract,


God, it would be so perfect if he gets a Super Mario in his first game back... like fate or some shit.

Nominated for the Citizenship award this year: Ron Artest.


This is part basketbawful and part basketbawesome. What a turnaround -- the guy was all kinds of unstable, got treated, and decided to raise awareness and raise money to help others deal with the same issues. But still, a guy whose name is synonymous with "going into the stands to beat on a fan" being nominated for a citizenship award is kind of shocking.

Wanna party with Mark Cuban AND win a HTC Thunderbolt for good measure? :)


I'm sure there must be some people here who follow Cuban's twitter

Talk about setting a playoff attitude precedent...

There will be blood if the Lakers and the Mavs meet up in the postseason.

Matt Barnes should get suspended. I think he threw one of the Mavs' assistant coaches into a woman on the front row and she needed medical attention. Barnes is a total asshole.

And what exactly did Brendan Haywood do to get thrown out? From what I saw, he was just keeping everyone apart.

Throw Brian Cardinal in the "should be suspended, what an asshole" list, too. Provided nothing during garabge time but swings at Pau Gasol and baiting Shannon Brown into getting tossed when he'd finally seen enough. I was going to make fun of Gasol for going "White Swan" and taking the high road, but in this case, good move in not taking Cardinal's head off when they're within striking distance of the Spurs. Can't get suspended now.

And let's face it, aren't games like these the reason no one takes the Dallas Mavericks seriously? Even when they try to throw down the punk card, they just end up throwing out the Lakers' bench (which ended up being a positive for the Lakers) and could only put up 12 points in the 4th quarter.

Nice statline for DeShawn Stevenson. Four missed shots and a plus/minus -7 in zero minutes!

I don't think Jason Terry will be on the "should be suspended" list, he should be on the "will be suspended" list. That was one punk-ass foul.

Regarding Haywood, as best I can tell from the replays (which always ended right before I wanted them to), I think he got tossed for not shutting up. Haywood followed the ref toward the Mavs bench, ref seemed to tell him to back down, but Haywood didn't. He kept pointing at Barnes and mouthing off at the ref, then he got thrown out.

Almost everything gets tired after a while but the Raptor Mascot video ages like a fine wine.

He needs to be in the banner.

Ugh, Calipari. I call BS on excusing him because NCAA hoops is corrupt (and it is). He's the NCAA corruption trendsetter, the worst of the worst, and somehow he's OK because the system is rotten? Isn't that sort of like excusing Bernie Madoff because Wall Street is so rotten?

I tease a friend of mine who went to Kentucky that they'll win a championship soon, and have it taken away a few years later after Calipari has left. At what price victory? He's like the devil in Damn Yankees, going from school to school and bringing temporary glory to those willing to sell their souls. By this time, everybody knows it; no excuses. You know what you get when you hire him. So what does that say about UK? And how do you stay a fan?

Say what?! It was Dallas assistant coach who grabbed Matt Barnes twice if you watch the video carefully. He was already walking to the bench. You just can't grab the opponent team's player like that. J Terry should get two game suspension and one game for the rest.

@Marylander - I'll concede that it was a pretty bad move by Terry Stotts to grab Barnes from behind, Barnes didn't know who was touching him. But Barnes should have never been near the situation in the first place. This is his move, first shoving Jason Terry in retaliation (which is why Joey Crawford threw him out), then walking towards the Dallas bench. If he had turned around to see that it was an assistant coach, maybe he would not have immediately started throwing people into the stands. He was clearly looking to make things worse than they were. Then he caps it off by throwing his shirt into the crowd. Newsflash, he is not Dennis Rodman or Rasheed Wallace. Those guys were headcases who just happened to be really good players. Not getting the same sense from this clown.

Jason Terry is definitely sitting out a game.

at least theo ratliff didn't get ejected and won't be getting suspended.
