It appears as though the dreaded injury bug has bitten the Memphis Grizzlies again and is putting a damper on their recent success and 11-7 record through 18 games. The Grizzlies are already dealing with injury issues to their big-time free-agent acquisition Chandler Parsons, and now their other big time free agent, floor general and [...]

Russell Westbrook is the realest. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that he’s averaging a triple-double. You read that correctly. He is Oscar Robertson-ing the the modern-day NBA. Or maybe Westbrook’s status as the realest is due to him not giving two craps about averaging said triple-double. As he said after the [...]

Seventeen games into last season, a clear rebuilding year, the Minnesota Timberwolves were 8-9. Seventeen games into this season, one that came with not-so-subtle playoff hopes, the Timberwolves are 5-12, their optimism fading fast. Frustration reached fever pitch within the Minnesota locker room following Monday night’s loss to the Utah Jazz. Everyone from head coach [...]

If given the opportunity to play on the same team again, as they did at Kentucky, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall would jump at the chance. Or something. The Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards squared off on Monday night, so naturally the topic came up. And Cousins, for his part, was relatively forthcoming, as far [...]

At the same time, crotchety folks have waxed displeasure with the defensive sacrifices the Warriors made to acquire Durant. Andrew Bogut was injury-prone, but a solid interior anchor. So, too, was [...]

When Kevin Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors, many thought it was only a matter of time before Russell Westbrook was traded. And whether or not Westbrook was traded, many also thought he would up and sign with a big-market squad in 2017. A big-market squad like the New York Knicks. This thought process, [...]

The Magic have finally done what pretty much everyone eventually expected them to do: Move Nikola Vucevic to the bench. And he isn’t happy about it. Per Zach Oliver of the Orlando Pinstriped Post: [tweet https://twitter.com/ZachOliverNBA/status/803063544300392448] Bismack Biyombo took Vucevic’s spot in the starting five for the Magic’s Sunday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, [...]

Brandon Knight is not available for another NBA team’s taking…right now. But he probably will be…later. With the Phoenix Suns sitting at 5-13, staring down the barrel of another lost season, rival teams will no doubt look to see if they enter sellers mode ahead of the February trade deadline. And while they extent of [...]

Nerlens Noel has yet to play this season, and he apparently won’t be upset if his last game as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers is already behind him.
