Jason Kidd and Giannis Antetokounmpo aren’t communicating very well these days. Or rather, they weren’t communicating very well for one day—Wednesday night to be exact. Antetokounmpo was benched in the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and he has no idea why. From the Journal Sentinel‘s Matt Velazquez: Giannis Antetokounmpo was the only Milwaukee [...]

Gregg Popovich may not smile much, but that doesn’t mean the San Antonio Spurs’ locker room isn’t the happiest place on Earth. It is. At least to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown. In a phenomenal feature for The New York Times Brown speaks candidly on the trials and tribulations of coaching through Philly’s extensive, [...]

Byron Scott and Nick Young better make note. This is how you handle player-coach beef. Stan Van Gundy and Andre Drummond had something of a disagreement in the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Boston Celtics’ on Wednesday night. Drummond was visibly upset and immediately isolated himself from the rest of the team. And at that [...]

Over the past two decades, the San Antonio Spurs have established themselves as the model franchise for all major sports. From David Robinson to Tim Duncan to Manu Ginobili to Tony Parker, the proverbial torch has been seamlessly passed to the team’s next superstar. Since Duncan’s NBA debut in 1997, the Gregg Popovich-coached Spurs have [...]

After playing 28.4 minutes in his 2014 campaign, Green is now only playing 18 minutes per game.  “He [...]

Jamal Crawford sustained a calf injury on March 2, leaving the Los Angeles Clippers without their most important reserve for the 17 games. According to Dan Woike of the Orange County Register, however, Crawford’s extended absence is likely to end tonight when the Clippers take on the Los Angeles Lakers. [tweet https://twitter.com/DanWoikeSports/status/585502637392539649] Crawford’s return comes [...]

We are down to the final 16 in hypothetical dream bracket of NBA greats that spans all generations and eras.

One week from now, the Brooklyn Nets might be able to thank a quirk in the late-season schedule for boosting them into one of the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spots. The Nets, on a basketball night overshadowed by Duke’s thrilling victory over Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament championship, toppled the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers 106-96 [...]

Nick Young and Byron Scott should probably consider couples therapy. The high-volume shooting guard and Los Angeles Lakers head coach seldom see eye to eye. The former is a freewheeling spirit, an easygoing goofball with an appreciation for shoes, smiling, contested jumpers and all things Iggy Azelea. The latter is an old school head honcho, [...]
