Avoiding NBA power rankings is for chumps, so come on in. There’s plenty to talk about this week. The Warriors and Hawks are still playing in a league of their own; the Grizzlies look like fortuitous demigods; the Hornets and Pistons are making a mockery of the Eastern Conference’s race for the final two playoff spots; [...]

Question of the week: Do any of the NBA’s Eastern Conference fringe playoff teams actually want to make the postseason? Asking for a friend or 50 here. Seriously, once you leave the East’s top-six teams—Hawks(!), Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Cavaliers and Bucks—it feels like you’ve entered the “Let’s try and suck as much as possible in order to [...]

Los Angeles Clippers Coach and President of Basketball Operations Doc Rivers said all the right things when he pulled the trigger on a 3-team trade that sent his son Austin Rivers home to the Clippers, Reggie Bullock to the Phoenix Suns, Chris Douglas-Roberts and a 2017 pick to the Boston Celtics. But, does the Clippers [...]

Well it’s official: The NBA is a forest fire of craziness. To wit: A lot has happened since we last met. Kevin Garnett decided to head-hump Dwight Howard amid the Net’s demonstrative downturn; the Pistons decided to be an actual basketball team; the Knicks and Celtics let Sam Hinkie know they’re coming for his (pingpong) balls; [...]

Hello again. After a brief holiday respite, during which a crap ton of NBA-related things happened, The Hoop Doctors’ power rankings are back. We know it’s been tough, slogging through these last two weeks without the ability to incessantly check and read and cherish and tell your friends about updated power rankings. But the wait [...]

Ever since the explosion of ‘Linsanity’ back in 2012 with the New York Knicks—Jeremy Lin hasn’t been able to live up to that kind of performance. After his short stint with the Houston Rockets and currently this season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he’s still trying to recreate the magic he had in the Garden. [...]

Isaiah Thomas has fired his agent. Nobody panic.
