At 5-15, owners of the NBA’s third-worst record, the Dallas Mavericks could just roll over and steer into the season-long tank. Catching up with the league-low Chicago Bulls for top lottery odds will be a challenge, but a mere game separates the two right now. Play their cards right, and the Mavericks could enter this [...]

One benefit to Kyrie Irving’s departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers: We get to see a more aggressive LeBron James down the stretch. Not that James has been particularly passive late in games through years past. He’s always struck a nice balance. His first inclination is too pass, so he often does, and he’s spent the [...]

Joel Embiid is a man of many words, talents and tweets. He is one of the most mesmerizing talents and personalities the NBA has seen in some time and has led the 76ers to a surprising 11-7 start to the season by averaging 22.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. He [...]

The Knicks seemed to finally be turning the corner this off-season, they decided to move on from Phil Jackson and they drafted a great defensive point guard of the future in Frank Ntilkina, they even traded Carmelo Anthony and got some value in return. But they also did one very Knicks thing: sign Tim Hardaway [...]

The Nuggets chances to return to the playoffs in 2018 just took a big hit. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nuggets veteran power forward and big-time free agency acquisition is expected to miss 3 months of actions after undergoing surgery on his injured wrist.
