As the Houston Rockets gave up a 15-point lead and lost game 7 of the Western Conference Finals to the Golden State Warriors, 101-92, it became a little hard not to look around and start pointing fingers. At least for me. Somewhat surprisingly, neither James Harden, Eric Gordon, nor Head Coach Mike D’Antoni were anything [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans are the NBA playoff team no one saw coming. They weren’t supposed to be the first squad that secured entry into Round 2. Few people picked them to beat the Portland Trail Blazers at all. They sure as hell weren’t supposed to complete a sweep—and be the only team to do [...]

The NBA does not have a four-point line, nor does it appear to be on the relative verge of implementing one. The idea has been kicked around, but as of now, seems too extreme even for this era. What would a four-point line do to floor balance? Where would the league put it? Would teams [...]

It doesn’t sound like Jeff Van Gundy will be competing with ESPN colleague Mark Jackson in the New York Knicks’ head-coaching sweepstakes. Though Van Gundy’s name is one among many that has been floated around as a potential replacement for the fired Jeff Hornacek, ESPN.com’s Ian Begley reports the franchise doesn’t have any interest in [...]

Here’s the good news, Philadelphia 76ers fans: Unlike Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving (done for season), Joel Embiid sounds like he’ll be ready to rock at some point during the first round of the NBA playoffs. But here’s the bad news: It doesn’t seem like “ready to rock at some point” refers to the start [...]

At long last, some good news on the health front for the Golden State Warriors: Andre Iguodala will be ready to rock when the NBA playoffs tip off. From the San Francisco Chronicle‘s Connor Letourneau: After missing six of the Warriors’ final seven regular-season games with left knee soreness, Andre Iguodala is poised to return for [...]

Sorry, Donovan Mitchell. Ben Simmons doesn’t think you have a legitimate chance of winning Rookie of the Year. Nor does he seem impressed by you at all. Consider what the Philadelphia 76ers newbie told ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes: “Who would I pick? Me, 100 percent,” Simmons told ESPN at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Philadelphia on Saturday. [...]

Injuries continue to pile up for the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry is already out through at least the first round of the playoffs. Andre Iguodala has been dealing with left knee soreness. Omri Casspi is recovering from a sprained right ankle. Draymond Green is laboring through a left ankle issue. And now Patrick McCaw [...]

Kevin Durant wants you to know the Golden State Warriors aren’t NBA Finals locks. They aren’t locks for anything, period. Most had the Warriors ticketed for another championship at the start of this season. Even now, with the Houston Rockets having clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, it’s tough for some to [...]

Kevin Durant doesn’t get an MVP vote. If he did, though, he’d give it to James Harden. As he recently told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater: “It’s his turn,” Kevin Durant told The Athletic recently. “Just give it to him. It’s his time to win it.” This is not the most eloquent way to lay out Harden’s case. [...]
