The 1975 Cincinnati Reds started the season splitting the first 40 games, 20 wins and 20 losses. Then Manager Sparky Anderson made a fateful move. He moved Pete Rose to third base, replacing John Vukovich, who couldn’t hit his way out of a paper bag. The move enabled Anderson to insert George Foster–a power hitter [...]

One of the greatest NBA traditions is the Second Banana. The guy that stands behind the man. It sounds a little degrading, but many of the NBA’s greatest players, even at their peaks, were the second best players on their teams. Take guys like Kevin McHale, Scottie Pippen or a young Kobe Bryant, those guys weren’t good enough to be the best player on a championship team, but they fit perfectly...

LYNNE SLADKY Associated Press Jimmie Johnson says, "I don't expect the fan appeal … to come easy. I've always had to earn it." The walk from the Arco Arena floor to the loading dock where the visiting team's bus routinely parks is a short one. But that didn't keep former Kings swingman John Salmons from losing his way Tuesday, veering more toward his old team's nearby practice facility...

Lawrence Frank is a very good coach, and he just so happens to be the longest-tenured coach in the Eastern Conference. But there comes a point when a team's record is so bad that not even the "rebuilding" excuse can possibly save you -- take it from Doc Rivers, who the Orlando Magic fired in 2003 en route to a 1-19 start. The New Jersey Nets are off to a miserable 0-13 start, and after losing...

by Lisa Olson Filed under: NBA EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Desperation oozed from every pore. If New York-area basketball hasn't reached its nadir, it's only because the NBA has a silly rule that some team must win. Otherwise, who knows how low this charade might go? The players might be the ones slipping paper bags over their heads, to match the fans' embarrassment as they sit in the stands and try...

More photos » by Alonzo Adams - AP Browse more photos » I've preached patience all year because, let's face it, there is an unbelievable amount of newness to this team. New coach, new superstar (essentially), two new players, new system, new injuries to overcome, a new tough schedule, etc. Without a transcendant player on the roster, and with a system that preaches ball movement and making...

LOS ANGELES -- If ever there were a team and a head coach in desperate need of a win, the Los Angeles Clippers and Mike Dunleavy were it. The Clippers had lost five of six games entering Friday night's game against the Denver Nuggets, all without their most efficient player second-year guard Eric Gordon. Over that stretch, which included a couple of embarrassing blowouts and a gut-wrenching fourth...

Tim C. made the logo for hacks like me who don't release TWSS on its supposed Friday schedule, so thanks Tim. Anyway, we have our first (and hopefully last) three-game losing streak in the bag, we're depressed as hell but that doesn't mean we won't care about basketball in general, or to checking out Ice Thrown-cool links. Make the jump with me to ease that stinging losing feeling a little bit. Mood...

INDIANAPOLIS – Jermaine O'Neal had 22 points and 12 rebounds against his former team, and the Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 96-83 on Friday night. The Pacers traded O'Neal before the 2008-09 season as they focused on rebuilding with younger players.
