Rumors

Given the Rajon Rondo debacle, the Dallas Mavericks were lucky to salvage a game vs. Houston. But maybe it was a case of addition by subtraction. They are not only without Rondo, however. Chandler Parsons has been sidelined with a bad knee and it may actually be worse than anticipated. Parsons may need the dreaded [...]

In what appeared to be retaliation for Kevin Love’s injury, JR Smith smacked Jae Crowder in the face in the second half of Sunday’s game 4 win. As result Crowder also fell awkwardly and hurt his knee. On the heels of all of this, the league has handed down punishment. The Cavaliers will be without [...]

Several weeks ago, we mentioned that NBPA would be announcing awards that would be given out to players, solely voted on by the players. But up until now, we didn’t know what those awards would be. This is spearheaded by comments Kevin Durant made regarding the media having too much power. However, this will not [...]

Mike Conley took an inadvertent elbow to the face from C.J. McCollum in game 3 and left the game. The elbow was so bad he had to undergo facial surgery. It will be at least 48 hours for Memphis’ medical staff to examine Conley and see how long he’ll be out for. Needless to say, [...]

Coming off a decent over-matched first-round effort against the top-seeded Golden State Warriors, the New Orleans Pelicans are going to be dealing with a number of things as they head towards the off-season. And one of them (which undoubtedly should be their top priority) is securing their superstar, Anthony Davis, for the long-term. With that [...]

Kevin Love left Sunday’s game 4 clincher for the Cavs with a dislocated left shoulder. His arm got locked up with Kelly Olynyk’s and the result wasn’t favorable for Love. Olynyk denies any ill intentions, but the video clearly shows him yanking down on Love’s arm. In any event, Love said he arm felt fine [...]

Despite missing much of the season due to injury, the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard has won the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award. He finished ahead of Draymond Green and DeAndre Jordan. Frankly, it’s nothing short of incredible that DeAndre Jordan has never won this award. He should probably have two now, as he’s in [...]

It has been speculated for a few weeks now, but today was D-Day for Scott Brook. He has been relieved of his duties of head coach of the OKC Thunder after seven very successful seasons. The irony in all of this is that if the Thunder would’ve won just one more regular season game, they [...]

Rajon Rondo being traded to Dallas was supposed to make the Mavs instant title contenders. However, the move has done anything but as he has looked disengaged for most of his tenure in Dallas. And his recent spat with Rick Carlisle, that landed him a 1-game suspension, didn’t help the perception either. Then there was [...]

Scott Brooks may be on the outs in OKC; a move that has been rumored for years now. The Thunder missing the playoffs isn’t Brooks’ fault, but coaches have shelf lives. UConn’s Kevin Ollie is rumored to be of interest in OKC. If you recall, after winning a national championship last year, Ollie was rumored [...]
