Despite playing the entire season without their leader Derrick Rose, the Bulls have played very well. But Derrick Rose’s brother isn’t impressed with the roster.

The Lakers stumbled out of the gate and have had a mediocre record ever since. They are currently 3 games under .500 and are in 9th place in the Western Conference. It isn’t impossible for them to make the playoffs, but they can ill afford any losing streaks from here on out. But if nothing [...]

As if the Kobe Bryant/Dwight Howard dynamic needs another wrinkle, now this. Apparently, during all-star weekend in Houston, Dwight mocked Kobe behind his back to other members of the West squad.
