Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson says he’s the best shooting guard in the NBA today, a drum he’s been beating the last few years, especially since the physical decline of the great Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. When asked about his starting five at each position today, Klay named Curry at [...]

Goodbye, 2015. It’s been real, often fun. Sometimes even real fun. But it’s time we bid you adieu. Just not before we send you off with one last batch of NBA power rankings. The Association is niche-y as ever these days. The championship contender pool contains only Cleveland, Golden State and San Antonio, with Oklahoma [...]

‘Tis the season for NBA power rankings. Fine, ’tis the day for NBA power rankings. It’s the same day every week, almost irregardless of the season. This day, of this week, is no different—except unlike the previous day, of last week, we’re here to acknowledge, to lament, the utter implosion of the Bulls. Yes, they [...]

Sorry, Isaiah Thomas. It doesn’t seem you’re cutting the mustard as the Boston Celtics’ go-to scorer. Of course, this is all according to an unknowing Danny Ainge, who by no meant to maliciously insinuate as much. The Celtics have consistently been linked to trades for superstars—specifically DeMarcus Cousins. That’s what happens when you’ve amassed as [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is back in the rumor mill—this time without the usual accompanying anecdote detailing an irreparable rift between he and Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl. Sources told Sheridan Hoops’ Michael Scotto that the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are all trying their hand at prying Cousins out of Sacramento: Sacramento Kings [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Following the Philadelphia 76ers’ 84-80 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, Jahlil Okafor was involved in a fight outside a bar in Beantown. TMZ broke the story, providing the following details: It all went down after Okafor and the 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics — Jahlil and some friends went out on [...]

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 [...]
