It has finally happened: There is movement within the top-most part of our NBA power rankings. The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs still sit where they sit, and the Toronto Raptors refuse to relinquish fifth place. But chaos has been restored just about everywhere else, in large part because the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte [...]

Even though they lost to the Charlotte Hornets last night, the San Antonio Spurs accomplished a pretty incredible and mind-boggling feat over the past week. And I’m not referring to holding the Golden State Warriors to only 79 points in a victory. With their win over the Blazers at home last Thursday night, they now [...]

Brace yourselves: This marks the fifth consecutive week in which there is no change within the top seven of our NBA power rankings. We’re not even talking regardless of order, either. The streak would be longer if we cared not for the exact position of every top-seven team. But we do care, and the Golden State [...]

Here’s to elitist consistency! Never, in the history of these power rankings, has the NBA’s top-most block been more unchanging. The top-10 squads are pretty much set for the rest of the season. They might jostle for position among one another, and there are a few wild cards, such as the Charlotte Hornets and Portland [...]

According to ESPN NBA Reporter Marc Stein, Michael Beasley’s impressive play for the Shandong Golden Stars of the Chinese Basketball Association has given him an opportunity to return to the NBA for the first time since 2014.

Is the NBA getting predictable? That’s a question we’re left to ask ourselves after blazing through this addition of the NBA power rankings. There are some surprises, sure.

Smell that? It’s the scent of the NBA’s stretch run. Urgency is officially overtaking the Association. Teams still have more than one-quarter of their schedule left to play, but the ramifications of early-season happenings are becoming real. The Portland Trail Blazers are rising; the Houston Rockets are falling; the Chicago Bulls are standing steady after [...]

Some NBA pundits thought Markieff Morris’ trade value had cratered ahead of the Feb. 18 cutoff. Yours truly was one of them. I was vocal about it. Unapologetic about it. Apparently, though, I, like so many others, was wrong. Here’s Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher: While some media outlets portrayed Markieff’s market value was portrayed as [...]

The Phoenix Suns are finally free of Markieff Morris. Keef has made things difficult in Phoenix this year, after the team traded his brother, so he finally got his wish. He was dealt to the Wizards for a draft pick. At this point, I’m sure Phoenix would’ve taken anything just to get rid of him. [...]

Last time we met, we were preparing for the NBA’s All-Star break. And, well, we’re still on that gosh darn All-Star break. The NBA returns to action on Thursday, Feb. 18. Incidentally, that’s the same day as the league’s trade deadline. I’m sure that won’t be a chaotic time at all. It will be totally [...]
