Paul Silas is out as Charlotte Bobcats head coach

It was just a matter of time until Paul Silas was shown the door. Unfortunately for Silas, it comes just as there may be some light at the end of the tunnel in the person of Anthony Davis.

Silas was fired earlier today after ending the season on a 23-game losing streak and leading the Bobcats to a horrible 7-59 record. Which just so happens to be the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Things got so bad that Silas got into a late season physical altercation with Tyrus Thomas because Silas did not like Thomas’s on court fraternization with the Celtics.

Even with Anthony Davis possibly on the horizon, good luck to whoever takes that job.

Certainly we need something much more lighthearted after that last post and this will certainly do the trick.

The Phoenix Suns Gorilla was doing an event at a local Dave & Busters when he attempted to high five a man by the name of Timothy Austin. Austin refused to high five the mascot strictly because he’s a Miami Heat fan.

Which totally makes sense, right? No? Okay, you’re right.

After being snubbed, the mascot “playfully” kicked Austin. To which Austin responded by punching the mascot in the face.

Which totally makes sense, right? No? Okay, you’re right again.

Of course Andray Blatche is throwing a ‘Grand Finale’ party

It shouldn’t surprise you that Andray Blatche is throwing a “Grand Finale” party after the Wizard’s season finale on Thursday. A game that he won’t be playing in might we add.

This man has challenged his Twitter followers to a fight, hosted “Lapdance Tuesday, wore Uggs, and whined openly about being booed. So there is just no way that this man would ever pass an opportunity to celebrate the ending of a horrible season that he couldn’t even finish out.

Oh no. This is certainly par for the course for Andray Blatche.
