It is no secret things aren’t going too well in Cleveland as of late, the Cavaliers are 3-9 in their last 12 games since losing to the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day. Their already leaky defense has been borderline historically bad over the past few weeks, and the Cavaliers were embarrased on national TV [...]

The Charlotte Hornets find themselves in the position no NBA franchise wants to find themselves in, an NBA purgatory of sorts, with a capped out roster that is not good enough to contend or even make the playoffs and not (quite) bad enough to bottom out. So what is an NBA team to do in [...]

With one of the league’s seven highest payrolls, yet only the 12th-best record, the Portland Trail Blazers find themselves in a weird spot as they barrel toward the NBA’s Feb. 8 trade deadline. Some will argue they should begin a quasi-teardown, dealing away some of their larger salaries in favor of cap relief and, if [...]

Despite leading by as many as 23 points, the Cleveland Cavaliers needed all 48 minutes to put away the Orlando Magic on Thursday night. And afterward, LeBron James wasn’t so much relieved as exasperated. As he told reporters, per Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon: “We want to play better and we know we have the ability to [...]

In spite of their somewhat bizarre decision to load up on veterans in the off-season, the Kings are still sitting at 13-31 and in last place of the western conference standings. Also, by the numbers, the Kings are technically the worst team in the NBA as they are currently last in the NBA in offense [...]

Great news for a Jazz team in desperate need of some. Their star center and the best rim protector in the league, the Stifle Tower himself, Rudy Gobert is likely to return for the Jazz this weekend. He could suit up for the Jazz home game against the Knicks on Friday night or their home [...]

Welp, that didn’t last long. Less than a week removed from NBA Hallwaygate 2018, the beef festering between the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets appears to be quashed. Or rather, at the very least, whatever tensions exist between Trevor Ariza and Austin Rivers are a thing of the past. Both Ariza and Gerald Green [...]

Thursday night turned out to be a bittersweet one for the Boston Celtics and Kyrie Irving. On the one hand, the point guard was named as an All-Star starter, validating both himself and the team’s direction. On the other, he was unable to go for a nationally televised tilt with the Philadelphia 76ers—which Boston lost—due [...]

The NBA’s annual popularity contest has ended and the prom kings of each coast are…. you guessed it, LeBron James and Steph Curry. LeBron was the leading vote getter with 2,638,294 votes and Curry was 2nd with 2,379,494. Here are the remaining pool of fan voted starters that each captain will pick from to fill [...]

Damian Lillard is universally recognized as one of the NBA’s elite-most talents—a top-25 to top-30 player in most seasons, and a borderline top-15 to top-20 player this season. So why is it he only has two All-Star appearances to his name, and none since 2015? Well, mostly, the backcourt ballot is incredibly stuffed in the [...]
