With each coach that Phil Jackson interviews, the topic of the Triangle Offense surely comes up. Derek Fisher implemented it and we’ll surely see Jeff Hornacek do the same. Phil is determined to never let it go, no matter how long it’s been since it has been successful for him. Derrick Rose is now at [...]

The year before Paul George broke his leg, he was playing the best basketball of his young career. In fact, the Pacers began that season really strong and George looked like an early MVP candidate. But then both he and the team came back to earth a bit. He was understandably tentative on the court [...]

Paul Pierce thinks his Los Angeles Clippers are a superteam. Most likely. The 38-year-old forward, who will retire at the end of 2016-17, basically talked himself into calling the Clippers a superteam at their media day, per the Los Angeles Times‘s Jesse Dougherty: “To me, I think we have a super team here,” Pierce stated [...]

Chris Bosh’s trek back to the hardwood has hit another snag. Though the 32-year-old has been overwhelmingly optimistic about returning to the court in time for the start of this season, he apparently failed a physical and, as such, will not be cleared to participate in the Miami Heat’s training camp, according to Barry Jackson [...]

Bucks fans woke up to some very disheartening news this morning as the first real big injury for the 2016-17 season has already taken place.
