Whatya know: The whole “Kevin Love is going to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency” thing is still alive and well. As the Cavs inch closer and closer to an NBA Finals appearance, they have a lot on their minds. Game 4 against the Atlanta Hawks, for one. Kyrie Irving’s injury. What in the [...]

The Eastern Conference Finals powers at be have not been kind to the Atlanta Hawks. Specifically Kyle Korver. Following the Hawks’ Game 2 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution brought word that the sharp-shooting wing would miss the remainder of the postseason with a high-right ankle sprain: [...]

Love him or hate him, you’re going to miss something about Kobe Bryant once he retires, whenever that may be. Me? I’ll miss not only his late-career candor, but his uncanny willingness to address rumors head on, be it through the press or social media. Quintessential example incoming. Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio Friday, Los [...]

For all those out there claiming the inevitable divorce between the Chicago Bulls and head coach Tom Thibodeau is going to be a long, drawn-out breakup, well, you’re right. It’s believed that the Bulls won’t give Thibodeau the ax or address the $9 million he’s owed over the next two years without having his replacement [...]

Bradley Beal is going to get paaaaaaaiiiiiid. Just not right now. After finishing up his third NBA season, the high-scoring shooting guard is eligible for an extension this summer. And though the Washington Wizards likely won’t offer one, they still intend to sign him to a max extension in 2016—you know, when they’re not-so-secret pursuit [...]

It was no single decision during the series, but it was a decision Doc Rivers made 5 months ago that probably cost the Clippers the Western Conference Finals. Sunday May 17th, the Clippers lost a second-round series 4-3 to the Houston Rockets, who were led by James Harden’s 31 points and Dwight Howard’s 16 points [...]

Ping pong gods are no fan of the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson and company had so much riding on Tuesday’s night’s lottery. They entered with the second-best chance (19.9 percent) at winning the No. 1 overall pick, and they desperately needed a top-three finish to nab one of the immediate fortunes-turning prospects, be it [...]

Take what you’re about to read with, um, an open mind. Following their epic collapse against the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Clippers are entering a pivotal offseason, one that should see them make substantial changes, perhaps wholesale tweaks, to a core that, as of now, just isn’t good enough. Some of the changes that [...]

It’s safe to say that one of the key reasons for the Clippers’ shortcoming this postseason would be its shallow bench. This weakness was exposed during their series against the Spurs, and more recently against the Rockets. Without question, both the Spurs and Rockets took advantage of this, making life much more difficult for the [...]

Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler may not have been playing nice when the Chicago Bulls went down in a haze of nothingness against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA semifinals. That’s the story anyway, as told by CBS Chicago’s Dan Bernstein: It made little sense that Rose attempted only four second-half shots, [...]
