Ty Lawson is mostly fine with playing among the Houston Rockets’ second-stringers. A lot is going to change in the aftermath of the Rockets’ decision to fire head coach Kevin McHale. One of those tweaks, it seems, includes moving Ty Lawson to the bench. He started in each of Houston’s first 11 games this season, [...]

For a short while on Thursday night, it looked like the Golden State Warriors, trailing by as many as 23 points to the Los Angeles Clippers, were going to lose. They didn’t lose. They fought back. They flew around on the offensive end in the second half. Stephen Curry went off. Andre Iguodala hit big [...]

NBA commissioner Adam Silver, much like Santa Clause, is always watching. On Twitter. The Wall Street Journal‘s Jason Gay talked social media shop with the NBA commish, discussing everything from the Association’s new League Pass features to its willingness to let viewers run wild with highlight clips. Tucked within the story is this nice little [...]

The league is still somewhat in shock after yesterday’s surprise firing of Rockets head coach Kevin McHale. The Rockets made the Western Conference Finals a year ago, so this season’s 4-7 start can’t entirely be pinned on his shoulders. Or, at least, it shouldn’t be. But luckily for him, he has friends in the league. [...]

Rumor has it that DeMarcus Cousins has “matured.” But that doesn’t at all appear to the case. At some point, we just have to realize that people are who they are that’s just how it’s going to be. As such, Cousins mixed it up with Al Horford last night in Atlanta. Actually, he mixed it [...]

It’s good that Draymond Green and J.J. Redick aren’t on the same team, because they’re certainly not on the same page. Ahead of Thursday night’s tilt between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers, both were asked about the rivalry that’s been brewing between these two sides. Their answers weren’t completely divergent, but they [...]

DeMarcus Cousins, or “Boogie” as he is affectionately referred, has continued to be a dominant force in the paint for the Sacramento Kings this season averaging 27 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and a block in eight games for the Kings. He has also continued to display his ornery and moody disposition, as well as [...]

Kevin McHale is out for the Houston Rockets. J.B Bickerstaff is in. At some point in the near future, though, someone else may be in—Jeff Van Gundy and Tom Thibodeau, for instance. In breaking the news that McHale had been canned, Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski also briefly discussed potential replacements, identifying Van Gundy and Thibodeau [...]

Harrison Barnes is funny. Or overly loyal. Or completely crazy. Or…most definitely on to something. The Golden State Warriors forward made an appearance on ESPN’s NBA Countdown on Wednesday, and as it turns out, he has some lofty expectations for teammate Stephen Curry: "I think Steph is probably on his way to become first MVP [...]

The Rockets were one of the best teams in the Western Conference last season and nearly had an MVP. The roster has improved, but that hasn’t exactly translated into wins. Earlier today, Head Coach Kevin McHale was fired after a 4-7 start, which probably isn’t his fault. Nonetheless, the coach has to go in this [...]
