On Saturday night, when the Milwaukee Bucks ended the Golden State Warriors’ reign of perfection, they were predictably excited. Here was a young Bucks team that had struggled all season overthrowing the best squad in NBA history. That’s quite the accomplishment, even during a regular season in the middle of December. So yes, they were [...]

Feel that? It’s the sensation of the NBA’s trade season taking over. Most of the league’s trade restrictions were lifted on Tuesday, increasing the pool of movable talent by a considerable margin. The rumor mill is already alive with speculation and reports, officially beginning the pre-February 18 deadline frenzy. But the New Orleans Pelicans and [...]

Our power rankings introduction is, for one week only, about to change. Most of the time, we wax distasteful snark that recaps all of the NBA’s major happenings over the past week, an approach aimed at teaching a crash course in almost everything you need to know. This week, though, you only need to know one [...]

I’ve got a secret. Can you keep it? Cool, because here it is: The Warriors are fire. Crazy, right? But not really. Some other crazily un-crazy things to consider: The Spurs have been in “God” mode since 1997; the Cavaliers are the most disappointing title contender at the moment; the Pacers do not miss Roy [...]

Still looking for a way back into the NBA title conversation, the Houston Rockets have apparently taking a liking to the Phoenix Suns’ Markieff Morris.

More than a month into the 2015-16 NBA regular season, everything is just as we thought it would be. LOL, jk. Much about the league’s landscape does make sense. The Warriors are godlike. The Spurs are right behind them. No one in the Eastern Conference can touch the Cavaliers. Not much else makes sense, though. [...]

Come one, come all, you’re just in time to take part in the first NBA power rankings of the holiday season! This is big stuff, I know, so we’ll get right to it. A lot is happening now that the 2015-16 season is hitting its stride. The Warriors are still the Warriors; the Pacers are [...]

It seems that someone forgot to tell the Houston Rockets that the NBA’s 2015-16 regular season is underway. The early part of 2015-16 has no doubt been weird. Some of the usual juggernauts are juggernauting, but this year’s landscape is rife with early-season underachievers, the fast-plummeting Rockets being among them. Can Houston regain its 2014-15 [...]

Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, it seems, owe Miami Heat president Pat Riley some sort of assorted wine and cheese and movie gift basket. It’s slightly because of him that LaMarcus Aldridge decided to leave the Portland Trail Blazers, spurn overtures from the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks, among others, and sign in [...]
