Tyronn Lue did not lose the Cleveland Cavaliers’ locker room before getting fired. He lost general manager Koby Altman. Speaking for Watch Stadium, Shams Charania relayed that the disconnect shared between these two ultimately led to Lue’s demise: As Charania states in the above clip, Altman had apparently told Kyle Korver and J.R. Smith they [...]

The game has changed for the better over the past decade as the NBA game is more fast-paced and open than ever with teams spacing the floor out and moving the ball like a whirring machine with most seven footers launching three-pointers, something that seemed unimaginable even a decade ago. The league is full of [...]

Fresh off of a 66 win season and a collapse away from their first NBA Finals appearance in 23 years, the Rockets have gotten off to a rough 1-4 start in 2018-19. Harden has been hampered, Paul has been suspended, and the Rockets defense has been atrocious in the aftermath of losing Trevor Ariza and [...]

Canada has emerged on the international basketball scene in recent years and Andrew Wiggins may be the most gifted player to come from that emergence (until R.J. Barrett, watch him at Duke this year, he is special). Wiggins is a freakishly athletic wing who can light up the score sheet and has done so since [...]

15 years into his legendary NBA career, LeBron James is still operating at essentially the same level that he has for the past 12 to 13 years. While his new look Lakers have struggled out of the gates with a 2-4 start, King James is still playing at an MVP level and climbing the all [...]

Here we are, fewer than 10 games into the NBA’s regular season, and all almost everybody wants to talk about is 2019 free agency. It’s kind of annoying. At the same time, it makes total sense. Next summer’s free-agent class is awash with stars, many of whom are considered flight risks. From Jimmy Butler and [...]

Paul George admits that some players have a hard time coexisting with LeBron James, which clearly explains why he didn’t grant the Los Angeles Lakers a meeting in free agency before re-upping with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Well, not really. Speaking with ESPN.com’s Royce Young, George made these comments as part of a defense for [...]

As expected, life has been tough in Cleveland post-LeBron. The Cavaliers are 0-6, being outscored by 10 points or more per game looking far closer to the top of the lottery than the NBA Finals. Because of the slow start (and Dan Gilbert’s pettiness) the Cavaliers have decided to fire Head Coach Tyronn Lue. Lue [...]

Courtney Lee has yet to make his season debut for the New York Knicks. And it doesn’t sound like he’s going to anytime soon. Lee has officially been listed as out with a neck injury. Many have taken that as code for “The Knicks are trying to trade him and clear more cap space for [...]

Jimmy Butler’s relationship with the Minnesota Timberwolves’ youngsters is supposed to be part of the reason why he wants out. More specifically, his interactions with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins are supposed to have soured his Minnesota experience. Ask Wiggins, though, and he’ll tell you that’s not the case. As he told reporters before the [...]
