The first of many individual NBA awards has been handed down at Lou Williams of the Toronto Raptors has been named Sixth Man of the Year. Williams leads the second unit’s charge for the fourth place Raptors with an average of 15.5 ppg. He was followed by Isaiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford. The Toronto Raptors’ [...]

It’s strange to take a look at the Western Conference playoff teams and not see the OKC Thunder listed. Injuries to key players proved too much for them to overcome as the narrowly missed the postseason by one game. Despite not playing with a fully healthy roster this year, Scott Brooks’ job security is reportedly [...]

James Harden needs all the help he can get to be named MVP this season. Steph Curry is probably the favorite, but it’s no slam dunk. Where the Rockets ultimately finish in the West (could be 2nd, 3rd or 5th) may play a role in that and perhaps whether or not Harden wins the scoring [...]

Russell Westbrook is a longshot for winning the MVP, but that doesn’t stop former players from siding with him. Gary Payton said he’d vote for Westbrook as this year’s MVP over Harden, Curry and James. Like Westbrook, Payton was a shoot-first PG (not quite to the degree of Westbrook, though) so it makes sense that [...]

Russell Westbrook’s 54-point outburst in Sunday night’s loss to Indiana raised eyebrows because it took him 43 shots to get there. In Westbrook’s defense, he’s the only consistent option for OKC. But on the other hand, there are nights where an entire NBA team will take 70-something shots combined. But if there’s anybody who will [...]

Russell Westbrook scored a career-high 54 points in a loss to Indiana yesterday, and in the process, he picked up his 16th technical foul of the season. Sixteen techs in one season will earn you a one game suspension. So if this technical is not rescinded, Russ will have to sit out OKC’s next game [...]

This has been one of the closest MVP races in a while and should come down to the final day. Russell Westbrook and LeBron James’ names have been in the mix, but it’s truly only down to Steph Curry and James Harden. The most compelling argument for Curry is that he’s the best player on [...]

If he can stay healthy, Steph Curry may go down as the most prolific 3-point shooter ever. His shots are effortless and always feel like they’re going in. With four games left in the regular season, Curry broke his own record for 3s made in a single season with 273. Is there any reason to [...]

The NY nightclub incident appears to be way more serious than initially thought. Chris Copeland broke his elbow and he and his wife were both stabbed. Now, we’re also finding out that Thabo Sefolosha broke his and leg that night in the altercation with the NYPD. He’s done for the season. Atlanta Hawks forward Thabo [...]

Heading into this season, some regarded the Warriors and Clippers as rivals, while others downplayed it. But after Dahntay Jones bumped Draymond Green during an on-court post-game interview several weeks ago, it elevated things to say the least. And now, these two teams exchange verbal jabs away from the court through the media. The Warriors [...]
