That’s all she wrote folks. Roughly eight months later, we have an NBA champion. It’s the San Antonio Spurs, who unseated the Miami Heat in convincing fashion, ruining their three-peat hopes in a matter of five games. Duplicating last year’s performance was always utterly impossible. This matchup spanned seven games and took a number of [...]

When thinking of players currently in the NBA with the best handles, names like Jamal Crawford, Tyreke Evans, and Chris Paul instantly come to mind. They all got their start somewhere, and although we missed out on those aforementioned players’ early hoops careers because they were primarily prior to the internet age, youngsters today are [...]

Forget the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat have free agency on the brain. More specifically, Pat Riley has Carmelo Anthony in his sights. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst, the Heat will try, against all odds, to form a Big Four this summer: The Miami Heat’s immediate focus remains overcoming a 2-1 NBA [...]

The Miami Heat’s three-peat is officially on life support. After squandering Game 1 amid Crampgate, and then embarrassing themselves on their home floor in Game 3, the Heat needed Game 4. They needed to come out with more energy, better execution and more grit. They just needed to win by any means necessary. They couldn’t [...]

The much hyped 2014 NBA Draft is rapidly approaching.  In roughly 2 weeks, new NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will open the draft announcing that for the 2rd time in 3 seasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers are on the clock with the #1 overall selection. Cleveland has been a tad unpredictable in past drafts, most recently choosing [...]

Ricky Rubio must consider himself an optimist. Few things call for more glass-half-empty takes than the relationship between Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves. It’s awful. If it wasn’t bad before this season, it’s in shambles now, with Love 13 months from free agency and the Timberwolves 10 years removed from their last playoff berth. [...]

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are many things to one another. They are opponents. They are friends. They are members of the All-Star brat pack. Could they also be future teammates? LeBron apparently hopes so. Writing on the deliberateness behind the Los Angeles Lakers’ long, infecund coaching search, USA Today‘s Sam Amick, dropped this gem: [...]

June is here and you know what that means: unfounded NBA rumors are in the air. Disgruntled Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Kevin Love—who has basically requested a trade even though he really hasn’t—was in Boston recently, so naturally that means he’s poised to join the Boston Celtics by way of trade or 2015 free agency. Love [...]

Good to see that landing the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft hasn’t gone to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ heads. What’s that? It has, you say? According to ESPN.com’s Chad Ford (subscription required)—with special thanks to the folks over at RealGM—the Cavs are looking to use their top selection as trade bait, and [...]

This Los Angeles Lakers coaching search hasn’t been much fun. All along, the assumption was that the Lakers would make a splash by inking a big, flashy, oh-my-god-did-they-really-sign-him? name. Instead of action and visions of grandeur, though, there have been the same old recurrent, drab rumors that have them interviewing prospective candidates like Mike Dunleavy, [...]
