Hassan Whiteside did something Wednesday night that hasn’t been done since 1989. He continued his reemergence with the Heat with a ridiculous 29 point, 20 rebound and 9 blocks performance in the Heat’s 95-88 victory over the Spurs. The last player to put up that sort of stat line in the NBA is the one [...]

The NBA appeared to be on to something last year when they implemented a captain-driven draft for February’s All-Star game. Stars choosing which other stars to play with? Regardless of conference? At the risk of potentially spurning teammates? How could that not be compelling? Um, well, if the league decided not to air said draft, [...]

Since the Lakers signed one of the best players in the NBA in LeBron James, experts like Stephen A. Smith and hardcore Lakers fans alike have told us they will make the Western Conference Finals. I just laughed. They have started the season 4-6 and sit 5 ½ games out of first place, and everyone [...]

If Derek Fisher could do it all over again, he wouldn’t accept the New York Knicks’ head coaching position—not unless he knew he wouldn’t have to run the triangle offense.

At 2-7, with a bottom-six offense and defense, along with a locker room forever on the verge of making the tabloids, the Washington Wizards have a problem. Dwight Howard knows it. And he’s hoping to fix it. Improving the Wizards’ play is no doubt part of his plan. He has only appeared in two games [...]

Former Phoenix Suns general manager made an appearance on ESPN’s The Jump Monday afternoon, during which time he discussed the end of his tenure with the team. Apparently, the organization fired McDonough over the phone, a move that caught him by surprise. Here’s an excerpt from his interview in which he describes thinking he had more [...]

Though Larry Drew and the Cleveland Cavaliers may not be long for one another, it does appear their relationship will last through the rest of this season—and, potentially, beyond. Previously billed as Cleveland’s associate head coach, Drew had been quick to note that he wasn’t serving as the interim head coach following Tyronn Lue’s departure. [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have gotten their groove back after a rough start to the 2018-19 season, beating the New Orleans Pelicans 120-115 on Monday night for their 5th straight victory.
