Um, so, it turns out the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t tanking. That should probably make you feel good, except for the fact that they’re 11-48 and have the worst record in the NBA. It would make more sense, be more flattering, if they were tanking. Alas, head coach Byron Scott says they’re not, and that [...]

John Wall, all of 25 years old, knows his NBA clock is ticking. The Washington Wizards point guard offered some very candid quotes for a piece penned by Michael Lee over at The Vertical. The article gives great insight into Wall the person and player and highlights his aspirations, both on and off the court. [...]

Kobe Bryant thinks Stephen Curry is hard to guard. Kobe therefore is, apparently, a master at stating the obvious. Presumably asked about who was the toughest player to guard in the NBA, Kobe came back with a totally predictable, wholly accurate answer, per Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com: Toughest player to guard in the NBA? @kobebryant [...]

Injury bugs just won’t leave the Miami Heat alone.

Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic remain on the shelf, and Joakim Noah is done for the season. The offense hasn’t been as potent as advertised, and Chicago is a heartbeat away from slipping [...]

Anderson Varejao may neither forgive nor forget. The Cleveland Cavaliers dealt Varejao, a lifer, to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a salary dump. He was promptly released by the Blazers and then signed with the Golden State Warriors—a team he already loves because of how much they love each other. From the Cleveland.com’s [...]

News came down Tuesday that Marc Gasol will undergo season-ending surgery for his fractured foot. Although the Grizzlies are currently sitting at 32-23 and in fifth place in the Western Conference, not having their anchor in the middle means the Grizzlies have zero chance to win a postseason series. That’s if they are even able [...]

The Golden State Warriors made history once again last night in what is quickly becoming the most memorable season in NBA history. With their 102-92 win over the Hawks in Atlanta, they became the fastest team to reach 50 Wins in a season. The Warriors are now 50-5 on the season (a 91% winning percentage) [...]
