The Golden State Warriors have lost three of their last five games. Kevin Durant is sidelined with an MCL sprain. The San Antonio Spurs are 1.5 games back of the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed, with two more meetings against Golden State to go. Knowing all this, might Warriors head coach Steve Kerr abandon pursuit [...]

Does Carmelo Anthony have another six NBA seasons left in him? He sure hopes so. Anthony, who will turn 33 in May and is playing through his 14th go-round, wants to do what Kobe Bryant did, what Dirk Nowitzki is going to do, and finish his career with two decades of pro ball to his name, [...]

For the first time since undergoing thumb surgery in December, J.R. Smith practiced with his Cavalier teammates on Wednesday. He was no doubt rusty and will likely take some time to get his wind back. But he seems to have healed far enough ahead of the playoffs in order for him to find his groove. [...]

Brett Brown knows it’s going to be a long final one-fifth of the season for the Philadelphia 76ers. His message to you, the fans: Bear with them as they fire up the tank for what they hope is the last time. Per Philly.com’s Keith Pompey: With 11 of his team’s next 14 games on the [...]

Roughly four seconds (okay, four games), into his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lance Stephenson suffered an ankle injury that forced him onto the shelf and out of the team’s immediate plans.

Beal revealed on BradleyBeal.net that his head honcho has basically encouraged him to launch 20 treys in single game: He’s really encouraging, too. We played against Cleveland back in early February and lost [...]

Intrigued? You should be. Even worse than Donald Trump’s +2,500 odds to win the election posted back in August, the Houston Rockets entered the new year as +3,500 underdogs. How did the odds makers give Trump more credit than Harden? We may never know. Perhaps they know something we don’t. Just the same though, some [...]

The Suns Gorilla is one of the longest standing professional sports mascots, a true legend in the world of mascots. He is a high-energy, motorcycle riding, trampoline dunking, ball of energy that has been a pioneer for mascots. Apparently after being a huge part of the Suns in-game experience and the local Phoenix community, the [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers moved swiftly in their decision to higher powerhouse agent Rob Pelinka as general manager following their February front office purge, which claimed the roles of Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak. And yet, after all that midseason ado, Pelinka’s role was never made official. Until now. The Lakers confirmed the Pelinka hire on [...]
