Derrick Rose is 26 years old, but he’s already thinking long-term. The recently oft-injured point guard doesn’t mind sitting out games because he knows his body will thank him for that in the long-term.

Tsk, tsk, Adam Silver. Don’t you know you’re not supposed to cross the Zen Master? Guess not. Obviously. Ahead of the New York Knicks’ loss to the Brooklyn Nets last Friday, the NBA commissioner was asked about Orange and Blue’s struggles under Phil Jackson.

Kendrick Perkins is something. As for what kind of something, I’m not really sure. But he’s something. Definitely not an NBA MVP, though. Unless you ask the screaming gremlins inside his head. On the heels of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s upset of the Sacramento Kings Sunday night—it feels soooo weird to write that—Perkins was all [...]

To some, the Cavs’ slow start is reminiscent of Miami’s slow start four years ago. A collection of talent is great, but they still need time to gel in order to everyone to be on the same page. Dwyane Wade knows all about that. He was asked about the Cavs and is confident LeBron will [...]
