Making the playoffs in the NBA’s Western Conference isn’t easy to do. Each year, teams that would cause damage in the East are home for the playoffs just because they so happen to play their home games west of the Mississippi River. This is why the Pelicans firing Monty Williams is a huge shock. The [...]

Kyrie Irving was significantly hobbled in game 3 to the point where he was limping downcourt towards the end of the game. He has since been diagnosed with tendinitis in his foot. Despite his injury, he plans to play through it. Even though he’s banged up, he’s still a more than decent spot up shooting, [...]

The extent of John Wall’s injury were both a surprise and a devastating blow, but the Wizards have somehow managed to take the edge on the series vs. Atlanta. Although Wall will not play in game 4 either, coach Randy Wittman remains optimistic about John’s progress. “It’s headed in the right direction,” Wittman said. “Again, [...]

Jimmy Butler went from practically unknown, to all-star, to Most Improved Player. So the next step in that progressions would be a max player. Right? The Lakers think so, anyway. All it takes is one team to think so before you are regarded as such. L.A. will plan on trying to land the restricted free [...]

The writing was probably on the wall for a while, but it’s official: Bill Simmons is leaving ESPN when his contract expires in September, as the two sides could not come to terms on an extension. Simmons is very polarizing and once he became a fixture on the network’s NBA coverage, his popularity grew and [...]

With the loss of Kevin Love and JR Smith, the Cavs can’t really afford to lose any more key guys. So when Iman Shumpert left game 2 vs. Chicago with a groin injury, Cleveland fans held their breath. Cleveland may be without the services of Shump in game 3, but the good news is that [...]

John Wall is something of a dinosaur. He’s his team’s best player, a point guard and a willing passer. Nowadays in the NBA, the point guard is largely shoot-first but Wall can take over a game by being a a distributor. Another thing of note about Wall is that he goes full speed at all [...]

Jimmy Butler came out of nowhere for the Bulls this season. He went from relatively unknown, to all-star and now the league’s Most Improved Player. If now for Butler’s emergence, who knows where the Bulls would’ve been this season. The NBA announced Thursday that Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler has been named the league’s Most [...]

Joe Dumars did great things for Detroit basketball while he was in the front office, but his departure didn’t end on great terms as it seems he was run out of town. But Dumars still has the itch to get back in with a team. He’s a Louisiana native and the Pelicans have gauged his [...]

What glitters isn’t always gold, especially when it comes to coaching in the NBA. Look at Mark Jackson; a successful NBA coach who was let go of reasons that had nothing to do with his team’s performance. Might the same be the fate for the Bulls’ Tom Thibodeau? The Bulls are finally healthy for a [...]
