It’s no secret that Kings 3rd year forward/center DeMarcus Cousins is his own worst enemy. He’s proven to be supremely talented, ranking in the Top 3 in rebounding last season and appears to be bordering on potentially All-Star status. His temperamental demeanor and outspoken off-the court candid comments may have even cost him a spot [...]

We all saw it coming.  Fresh off a disasterous 1-4 start to the season, and one day after a now infamous video of Kobe Bryant shooting a death stare at coach Mike Brown surfaced, the former Cleveland Cavaliers coach is out and assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff is in. It’s not all Mike Brown’s fault.  Steve [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been riding the early wave of some surprising defensive work. Averaging 8 steals and 8.5 blocks per game, the Wolves have so far held opponents to 89 points per game (good for 4th in the league).

Four Jazz starters collected a minimum of 2 steals, Al Jefferson leading the way with 4. For their part, LA didn’t communicate well enough to take advantage of [...]

When the trade sending James Harden to Houston went down, the NBA world started some preemptive reeling. Analysts all over saw the Thunder as considerably weaker. Some even changed their prediction for who would represent the Western Conference in the NBA finals. Off the court, there were also some reactions. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and essentially [...]

Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks are on a tear, yet this is no time for he and the team to rejoice in their newfound winning ways. It’s a time to watch their back. What we’ve seen from the Knicks in the first three games of the season has been nothing short of spectacular. [...]

Adding on to the list of roster uncertainties for the Hawks is Jeff  Teague. As the early season deadline passed by, the combo guard out of Wake Forest became set to be a restricted free agent in the upcoming off season. This development further illuminates a plan by the Hawks’ front office (particularly general manager [...]

Josh Smith is the heart and soul of the Atlanta Hawks. Without him, they’re doomed. Or are they. Smith is currently nursing a sprained right ankle, and according to Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, his return is uncertain: Josh Smith, who missed Sunday’s game with a sprained right ankle, did not practice Monday [...]
