Dwight Howard doesn’t need Kobe Bryant. Strike that, Howard isn’t going to panic without Kobe in the lineup. Which he shouldn’t. When Bryant suffered a sprained ankle in the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss to the Atlanta Hawks, many were anxious over how the team would fare without their leading scorer and second-leading assist man, and [...]

James Harden and Stephen Curry? What now seems like a completely out-of-the-blue pairing was once, in fact, was a possibility. According to Bill Simmons of ESPN’s Grantland, when the Oklahoma City Thunder were shopping James Harden, the Golden State Warriors were one of the teams they engaged heavily in talks: But here’s the real killer.

The Miami Heat tied the second-longest winning streak in NBA history at 22 games, defeating the Toronto Raptors 108-91 on Sunday at Air Canada Centre. Miami (51-14) started their streak on February 3 in Toronto, and have yet to lose since. They were led by Dwyane Wade’s 24 points and nine assists and LeBron James’ [...]

But then the Lakers lost to the Hawks, Kobe Bryant and all. Bryant has a severely [...]

According to John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Andrew Bynum’s contract for this season is insured against his knees, which is good news: If there is some good news to be gleaned from the 76ers’ experience with Andrew Bynum, it’s that they won’t [...]
