Dirk Nowitzki is starting to see a pattern. It’s a pattern you’ve probably noticed, too. A well-documented, oddball pattern—the NBA’s Eastern Conference sucks. Like, it’s really bad. Horrible.

Paul George has enough friends. He doesn’t need to invite LeBron James to his next birthday party. People tend to fuss over these two. LeBron being who he is, and all—face of the two-time reigning NBA champions. And George being who he is and all—face of the Miami Heat’s greatest Eastern Conference challenger. George’s rise [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t know how to fix the New York Knicks. Then again, who does? Speaking with reporters, Rondo was asked about the recent rumor that Carmelo Anthony was recruiting him to join the Knicks in 2015, when he’ll become an unrestricted free agent. Rondo’s former high school coach at Oak Hill Academy, Steve Smith, [...]
