Kristaps Porzingis’ brother/agent, Janis, said some stuff about some things pertaining to his bro’s future with the New York Knicks. People ran with it, including us, because duh. The Knicks are the Knicks, and it seemed they somehow managed to permanently ruffle the feathers of their most important player since Patrick Ewing. Porzingis downplayed the [...]

Houston Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni has high hopes for Clint Capela. Really high hopes. Speaking with ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon, D’Antoni indicated that the 23-year-old from Switzerland has the chance to be the best center in the league, bar none: “To me, it’s just a matter of time,” Houston coach Mike D’Antoni said. “I’ll be [...]

Eric Bledsoe has only been a member of the Milwaukee Bucks for, like, a half-second, and he’s already underrated Giannis Antetokounmpo. Speaking with ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes after his trade from the Phoenix Suns, the point guard referred to Antetokounmpo as a top-10 player: “You’ve seen him,” Bledsoe said of Antetokounmpo. “I’ve watched him play like [...]

If the NBA playoffs started today, the Oklahoma City Thunder would not be a part of them. Having lost three straight, they’re now 4-6, which currently ranks as the fourth-worst record in the Western Conference.

We are currently experiencing somewhat of a changing of the guard in the NBA and in the eastern conference especially. While there are still the established superstars performing at a high level as per usual, many of the players leading the league in many categories are young stars on the cusp of entering their prime [...]

Things between Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were absolutely as awkward and combustible as you think they were. Paul is now a member of the Houston Rockets, so this doesn’t matter anymore. But the two spent more than a half-decade together on the Los Angeles Clippers, ostensibly jostling for alpha status. And while the tense [...]

Joakim Noah will be eligible to return from the 20-game suspension levied by the NBA against him last season when the New York Knicks face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
