Things went from bad to worse for the Orlando Magic. After being the surprise team in the NBA the first few weeks of the season, the Magic are now 11-23. They will also now be without one of their two best players in Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic was diagnosed with a fractured first metacarpal on his [...]

The Suns are winners of three of their last four games, despite being without their best player, Devin Booker (seriously, look at their roster, it is not pretty). One of the major reasons for the recent burst of success has been the addition of Isaiah Canaan. Canaan was signed with the hardship exception for the [...]

For those who don’t remember or are unaware, there was once a time when Tim Duncan was an actual free agent that visited other teams. I know, crazy right? In the summer of 2000, Duncan was one of a trio of highly sought after free agents on the market, the other two being Tracy McGrady [...]

Playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as we know, was not Carmelo Anthony’s first choice. His list of preferred trade destinations initially included the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets, before eventually, at one time, consisting only of the latter.

The 2018 Hall of Fame class should be a pretty good one. The 2018 nominees for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame were announced and because of a new rule that reduces the eligibility period for a player from four years to three years (it was five before that), there are a few really good [...]

As backwards as things seem to be in this country right now, you still have to remember that things could be much different if we lived in an actual dictatorship. In these sort of societies, activism and dissension are not only discouraged, they can be illegal. Enes Kanter has been very vocal with his disapproval [...]

So, um, Denzel Valentine is really starting to feel the 2017-18 Chicago Bulls. After starting the season 3-20, seemingly on the fast track towards the NBA’s best lottery odds, the boys in red and white have rattled off seven straight victories. This streak coincides with Nikola Mirotic’s return from facial fractures and a concussion following [...]

Chris Paul is injured again. The All-Star point guard left early in the fourth quarter of the Houston Rockets’ Wednesday night loss to the Los Angeles Lakers with what the team deemed a strained left adductor.
