Tom Thibodeau is not joining the Utah Jazz’s coaching staff. Repeat: Tom Thibodeau is not joining the Utah Jazz’s coaching staff. He is, however, helping them out. From Jody Genessy of the Deseret News: Turns out, Thibodeau is in town at the request of the Jazz. Thibodeau isn’t here to be added to the Jazz’s [...]

Some NBA players, many of them highly regarded defenders, would view leading the league in blocks as a luxury, an added bonus that, in the end, doesn’t mean too much. Anthony Davis is not one of those players. The New Orleans Pelicans wunderkind sent away 200 shots last season, which led the entire Association. That’s [...]

Rajon Rondo? Butt heads with his head coach? Nah. At least, not this head coach. Rondo recently got cute with the media, admitting that things between he and the Sacramento Kings head coach weren’t all dandelions and daisies.

While he would say he thinks that they can exceed expectations, he did so while admitting expectations aren’t high to begin with. Per ESPN.com’s Baxter Holmes: Rajon Rondo told [...]

Members of the Los Angeles Clippers, most notably head coach Doc Rivers, and the Houston Rockets, most notably James Harden, have decided to send less-than-completely-loving-and-adoring feelings Golden State’s way. Rivers, per multiple outlets, riffed on the role luck played in their [...]
