Rumors

Coming off a decent over-matched first-round effort against the top-seeded Golden State Warriors, the New Orleans Pelicans are going to be dealing with a number of things as they head towards the off-season. And one of them (which undoubtedly should be their top priority) is securing their superstar, Anthony Davis, for the long-term. With that [...]

Kevin Love left Sunday’s game 4 clincher for the Cavs with a dislocated left shoulder. His arm got locked up with Kelly Olynyk’s and the result wasn’t favorable for Love. Olynyk denies any ill intentions, but the video clearly shows him yanking down on Love’s arm. In any event, Love said he arm felt fine [...]

Despite missing much of the season due to injury, the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard has won the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award. He finished ahead of Draymond Green and DeAndre Jordan. Frankly, it’s nothing short of incredible that DeAndre Jordan has never won this award. He should probably have two now, as he’s in [...]

It has been speculated for a few weeks now, but today was D-Day for Scott Brook. He has been relieved of his duties of head coach of the OKC Thunder after seven very successful seasons. The irony in all of this is that if the Thunder would’ve won just one more regular season game, they [...]

Rajon Rondo being traded to Dallas was supposed to make the Mavs instant title contenders. However, the move has done anything but as he has looked disengaged for most of his tenure in Dallas. And his recent spat with Rick Carlisle, that landed him a 1-game suspension, didn’t help the perception either. Then there was [...]

Scott Brooks may be on the outs in OKC; a move that has been rumored for years now. The Thunder missing the playoffs isn’t Brooks’ fault, but coaches have shelf lives. UConn’s Kevin Ollie is rumored to be of interest in OKC. If you recall, after winning a national championship last year, Ollie was rumored [...]

The first of many individual NBA awards has been handed down at Lou Williams of the Toronto Raptors has been named Sixth Man of the Year. Williams leads the second unit’s charge for the fourth place Raptors with an average of 15.5 ppg. He was followed by Isaiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford. The Toronto Raptors’ [...]

It’s strange to take a look at the Western Conference playoff teams and not see the OKC Thunder listed. Injuries to key players proved too much for them to overcome as the narrowly missed the postseason by one game. Despite not playing with a fully healthy roster this year, Scott Brooks’ job security is reportedly [...]

James Harden needs all the help he can get to be named MVP this season. Steph Curry is probably the favorite, but it’s no slam dunk. Where the Rockets ultimately finish in the West (could be 2nd, 3rd or 5th) may play a role in that and perhaps whether or not Harden wins the scoring [...]

Russell Westbrook is a longshot for winning the MVP, but that doesn’t stop former players from siding with him. Gary Payton said he’d vote for Westbrook as this year’s MVP over Harden, Curry and James. Like Westbrook, Payton was a shoot-first PG (not quite to the degree of Westbrook, though) so it makes sense that [...]
