Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The Bulls ranked second last year and employ a slew [...]

On Tuesday night, the Portland Trailblazers managed to hold off the resilient Jazz team for a 103-102 victory, which handed them their 33rd win of the season. Unsurprisingly, Damian Lillard led the way with 25 points, while for the Jazz—it was Gordon Hayward with his game-high of 27 points. Also, Robin Lopez made his return [...]

Avoiding NBA power rankings is for chumps, so come on in. There’s plenty to talk about this week. The Warriors and Hawks are still playing in a league of their own; the Grizzlies look like fortuitous demigods; the Hornets and Pistons are making a mockery of the Eastern Conference’s race for the final two playoff spots; [...]

The Cavaliers have been on a roll of late, winning their last 11 games straight. But even though they’re climbing the standings in the East, all may not be well the squad.

Jordan slapping Steve Kerr in the face during a practice is well documented, but that wasn’t Mike’s only run-in with a teammate. Apparently there was an incident that included a closed fist. According [...]

Brook Lopez led the way with a game-high of 24 points and teammate Joe Johnson pitched in 22 points. On the other side, it [...]

Carmelo Anthony is just saying what we’re all thinking. Most know that as bad as the New York Knicks are, they won’t be rebuilding through conventional methods. Sure, they’ll welcome in Jahlil Okafor with open arms should they land the No. 1 overall pick. But this team is not about to wait around and let [...]

Ricky Rubio is more than a little excited to be returning to the court for the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. And boy do they need him back in a bad way. Rubio’s camp released this video to get fans excited about his much anticipated return…. [...]

We all expected the Warriors to perform at a high level this year, but they’ve exceeded the expectations of many. They have the best record in the West and seem likely to make a deep run. Because the core is so young, it stands to reason that management would want to keep these guys together. [...]

On Saturday, the Mavericks were in Orlando taking on the Magic when Rajon Rondo was inadvertently kneed in the face by teammate Richard Jefferson less than two minutes into the game. It was enough to draw blood and for Rondo to exit the game and not return. As result of that blow, Rondo suffered two [...]
