Carmelo Anthony is accepting his fate as a non-alpha with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Make no mistake, he’s going to get his shots up, as he did during a Thursday night loss to the Brooklyn Nets, when he went 5-of-20 from the floor. But there will also be times when he doesn’t get that many [...]

The San Antonio Spurs prove on an annual basis that they are one of the most indestructible forces in life. In spite of boasting one of the least talented rosters in the league at the moment with their superstar forward Kawhi Leonard sidelined, they have still managed to start 17-8, good for 3rd in the [...]

Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone was not thrilled after his team’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. Indeed, the Nuggets were playing without Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap, their two best players. But the 123-114 letdown drops them to 3-9 on the road, a record he doesn’t deem worthy of a playoff [...]

Patrick Beverley doesn’t care about your stupid injury-recovery timelines. To him, they’re suggestive more than anything else. He exists only to beat them. And, apparently, to hint at shattering them on Twitter: [tweet https://twitter.com/patbev21/status/938515402761621505] Sign yours truly up for an early Beverley return. He’s super feisty, and thus fun to watch, on defense. The extracurricular [...]

Remember when Markelle Fultz’s right shoulder injury wasn’t considered serious enough to pull him from the Philadelphia 76ers’ rotation? Well, we’re now nearly 20 games removed from the team officially shutting him down, and he still isn’t practicing, per The Athletic’s Derek Bodner: On October 29th, the #sixers said there was no structural damage in [...]

More bad news for Nerlens Noel in a contract year. The Mavericks 23-year-old center who has already fallen out of the regular rotation and is only averaging four points and four rebounds in 12 minutes per game, will now be out of action for four to six weeks after undergoing surgery on his thumb. Here [...]

With the Los Angeles Lakers on a five-game losing streak, people are searching for unrest—something, anything, that points to a possible change in light of recent struggles. Nothing’s inherently surprising about this. Such stuff is pretty standard practice under the circumstances. It’s doubly pertinent for the Lakers. They play in a huge market. They have [...]

The Q rating for New York Knicks Owner James Dolan is already pretty low in New York and around the country, as he is seen as a trust fund kid that is unprepared for his role and unfit to run a major and historic corporation like the Knicks (reminds me of some other situation happening [...]

Mike James has had an interesting journey to make the NBA to say the least. From high school basketball in Portland, to junior college basketball at Eastern Arizona Junior College (I played against him in junior college by the way), to smaller Lamar University in Texas, with stops in Croatia, Italy, Spain and Greece before [...]

DeMarcus Cousins can be one of the more frustrating players in the NBA with his general ornery-ness and propensity for flopping to get calls and then complaining to the referees non-stop. He is also one of the most gifted and diversely talented big men the NBA has seen in a long time, and he flashed [...]
