Yesterday, the league fined Stan Van Gundy for basically suggesting that LeBron can do what he wants on the court and the refs will allow him. For his comments, during an in-game interview on national TV, no less, Van Gundy was fined $25,000. Naturally, reported swarmed to ask LeBron for his reaction to the Pistons [...]

Jamal Crawford is probably the biggest piece to the Clippers that isn’t really talked about. Sure, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan get most of the headlines, but what Crawford is able to provide off the bench is not easy to replace. Truthfully, he’s worth still starting in the league, but credit to him [...]

The Basketball Gods has an interesting sense of humor. Year in and year out, we see guys make it through a regular season relatively healthy, then go down in the first game of the first round of the playoffs. That was the fate for the Celtics’ Avery Bradley who went down in agonizing pain towards [...]

Mike D’Antoni has held head coaching positions in the two largest media markets in the NBA: New York and Los Angeles for both the Knicks and Lakers. He also quit both jobs when times got tough.

The Bulls were in New Orleans last night to take on the Pelicans as they wrap up a very disappointing season. One where they’ll miss the postseason for the first time in eight years. All members of the team arrived in New Orleans via the team plane. All except Jimmy Butler that is. Butler arrived [...]

Tyronn Lue seems to still be finding his way as head coach of the Cavs. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since the Cavs pretty much led the East wire to wire this year and have clinched the top spot. He’s still tinkering with his lineup and is about to make a somewhat bold move [...]

Ever since firing Derek Fisher part-way through the season, Phil Jackson has been non-committal on his next head coaching move. He has endorsed Kurt Rambis as the coach, but it has never come across as too convincing. In particular, Tom Thibodeau’s name has been raised but Jackson hasn’t said as much. But is David Blatt [...]
