Rumors

When he was acquired by Houston from Denver, Ty Lawson was thought to be that one piece to bring the Rockets over the top. Sure, Patrick Beverley is a more-than-serviceable PG, but Lawson is widely thought to be much more dynamic. However, the Rockets have struggled severely this year, and Lawson’s not to blame. So, [...]

Jahlil Okafor has barely played a months-worth of NBA games, but he’s already creating headlines both on and off the court. He’s averaging 18 and 8, roughly, and he’s also averaging some interesting behavior. Over the weekend, video surfaced of him getting into some sort of scuffle and was also recently stopped for driving 108 [...]

Prior to the start of the season, Steph Curry sarcastically apologized for the Warriors’ health. He grew tired of people almost giving them a hard time for remaining healthy on their quest for a title. And a few weeks ago, LeBron said the Warriors were the healthiest team he has ever seen. That can certainly [...]

After struggling for the majority of this season to score at an even half way decent percentage, and telling the media on more than one occasion that he is struggling with the aches and pains his body is feeling with the nightly grind, today Kobe Bryant announces he will retire at the conclusion of this [...]

With their win over the Nuggets on Sunday night, the Warriors tied an NBA record with 15 consecutive wins to start a season. And by the looks of things, there’s no sign of that coming to an end anytime soon. Aside from being offensively prolific, the Warriors don’t ever seem to deal with health issues. [...]

New York City is big enough for more than one star and Carmelo Anthony seems to be embracing that.

He’s also aware that this will be Porzingis’ team when he decides to hang [...]

The league is still somewhat in shock after yesterday’s surprise firing of Rockets head coach Kevin McHale. The Rockets made the Western Conference Finals a year ago, so this season’s 4-7 start can’t entirely be pinned on his shoulders. Or, at least, it shouldn’t be. But luckily for him, he has friends in the league. [...]

Rumor has it that DeMarcus Cousins has “matured.” But that doesn’t at all appear to the case. At some point, we just have to realize that people are who they are that’s just how it’s going to be. As such, Cousins mixed it up with Al Horford last night in Atlanta. Actually, he mixed it [...]

The Rockets were one of the best teams in the Western Conference last season and nearly had an MVP. The roster has improved, but that hasn’t exactly translated into wins. Earlier today, Head Coach Kevin McHale was fired after a 4-7 start, which probably isn’t his fault. Nonetheless, the coach has to go in this [...]

Jabari Parker may end up being the best player form the 2014 draft at the end of the day, but the start to his career has been slow. A knee injury claimed most of his rookie season and he’s now dealing with a foot injury, just a few games into his return. Milwaukee Bucks forward [...]
