Boston Celtics

Sit down, because this might come as a shock: The Boston Celtics are in the market for good basketball players. I know, right? It’s so crazy, it almost makes sense. On the heels of the their first-round exit against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Celtics are thinking big. They made the playoffs in just the second [...]

The gritty Boston Celtics played with tremendous effort and played well enough to have a chance to steal game two in Cleveland. But it wasn’t meant to be, thanks to a man by the name of LeBron James. James took control of the game in the final period, as he scored 15 of his game-high [...]

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

Needless to say, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan can really elevate. He has ridiculous leaping ability, even straight up and down with little momentum. At the drop of a hat. Or to go after an errant alley-oop pass from CP3 apparently….. Please enable Javascript to watch this video Jordan really reached for the sky on that [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Despite the valiant effort from Nets’ center Brook Lopez, who finished with a game-high of 31 points—his team still couldn’t notch the victory. The Celtics’ balanced attack, led by Evan Turner’s triple-double (19 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists), was more than enough to give them the 110-91 road win, which also snapped their three-game skid. [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]

Looking to identity and subsequently acquire what’s missing in your life? You’ve come to the right place. NBA power rankings are here. Before we begin, there is one housekeeping note: What follows is not the direct result of records alone. There will be lottery teams ranked higher than playoff teams and everything in between. Power [...]
