‘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 [...]

This thing between Ty Lawson and the Houston Rocket isn’t working out. Lawson has basically fallen out of interim head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s rotation, and the Rockets are desperate for change following a god-awful start to the 2015-16 season. Any change general manager Daryl Morey makes is almost sure to include Lawson—assuming, of course, the [...]

Steve Kerr isn’t yet back to being the unreserved head coach of the Golden State Warriors, but he’s close. Closer than ever, in fact.

Ty Lawson’s previous DUIs seem like a lifetime ago, but he still hasn’t been punished by the league. Even though he’s in Houston now, the NBA has come down and suspended the PG for two games for his past transgressions. Houston Rockets’ guard Ty Lawson has been suspended for two games without pay for driving [...]

Charles Barkley has never been one to bite his tongue or hold back an unpopular opinion, not to mention wax poetic about how much tougher the league was in his heyday and atayed in that vein when he was recently asked if this year’s Warriors team could compete with the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls and Michael [...]

In order to get a courtside seat for a Cavaliers-Thunder game you will have to pay a pretty penny, but professional golfer Jason Day’s wife Ellie Day paid for the experience in a different way: getting toppled by a 260 pound LeBron James diving for a basketball. Midway through the fourth quarter of the Cavs-Thunder [...]
