In another exciting week in the infancy of the 2014-15 NBA season, we were entertained by some insanely acrobatic feats of athleticism. It leaves me asking myself one question, ‘Is Gerald Green really human?’ The human pogo stick holds onto two of our Top 10 Dunks of the Week ending November 6th. But the best [...]

The OKC Thunder will have to weather the storm for a few months until they get back either Russell Westbrook or Kevin Durant back from injury. Until then, offense will need to come from somewhere. Reggie Jackson thinks he’s the guy apparently. In a recent loss to the Nets Jackson’s trigger-happy play gut under the [...]

It’s never too early to speculate on how NBA free agency will unfold. Apparently. Ahead of the Dallas Mavericks’ loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Thursday night, Dirk Nowitzki was asked about LaMarcus Aldridge’s free agency. The context of the conversation is unclear, though one must assume he was asked if Aldridge would be a [...]

LeBron James wants you to shut up. Basically. In the wake of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 1-3 start, critics are coming out of the woodwork. Reports are surfacing. Hot takes are getting hotter. Rumors of discord between the King and Kyrie Irving are afoot. The Cavs’ defense ranks 28th in efficiency. The offense looks disjointed at [...]

Dissension already? That certainly didn’t take long. According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James exchanged words a few nights ago in the locker room after a blowout loss to Portland. After four games, there are many theories as to why the Cavs have started slow but in reality, this had to have [...]

The Cavs are now 1-3 and panic is beginning to set up. After a loss to the Jazz last night, David Blatt needs to rethink his lineup and rotations. He has already experimented with starting Shawn Marion over Dion Waiters, but Blatt may have more changes for Waiters. He’d like for Dion, why thrives on [...]

Playing for the Phoenix Suns must be nice. No, not because most of the players are making bank. Or because head coach Jeff Hornacek will babysit for free. Or because the arid climate compels you to go commando. Or because Goran and Zoran Dragic (probably) argue and celebrate and curse in Slovenian. The Suns just [...]

After their first five games of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers unsurprisingly remain winless as the team continues to struggle defensively and offensively. In majority of their games—it has been the ‘Kobe Bryant Show’ all throughout and in his age right now (36), he can’t do it alone anymore and he desperately needs help [...]

J.R. Smith’s reputation precedes him. During the fourth quarter of the New York Knicks’ 98-83 loss to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, Smith appeared to hit Glen Rice Jr. in the groin as he was driving right. Though nothing happened at the time, Smith was later suspended for New York’s game against the Detroit Pistons [...]

Kevin Durant’s free agency is two years away but the discussion has already begun regarding where he’ll land. He seems loyal to OKC, but he’s also very close to his DC-area roots. Because the West is so tough, he’ll have a much better chance winning a title with the Wizards. Per Grantland, KD’s decision will [...]
