After Nazr Mohammed shoved Lebron James in chest and he stumbled back and hit the court, the Bulls were immediately telling the refs he flopped.

The New Orleans Pelicans’ (yes, that’s what they are called now that the season has ended) guard Eric Gordon has had a rough go ever since being traded for Chris Paul. He hasn’t been healthy enough for long enough to truly make an impact. But if he is ever able to stay healthy, New Orleans [...]

Luol Deng of the Bulls has been out for a while with what was originally diagnosed as the flu. But obviously, it was much worse than that. He underwent a spinal tap and he body didn’t respond well to that. The good news is that he’s now out of the hospital and apparently on the [...]

Ever since J.R. Smith was suspended for elbowing Jason Terry during the Knicks – Celtics series, he hasn’t been himself.
