Crap. Just crap. My apologies for ruining your day in advance, but according to the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney—special thanks to Joe Flynn over at Bleacher Report—NBA league executives and “prominent” agents are expecting there to be another lockout in 2017: It is a little more than three years before the NBA’s current collective bargaining [...]

If you’re looking for a key difference in today’s NBA versus the league from yesteryear, look no further than this quote from Paul George. After last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, that last thing you’d think to come out of Paul George’s mouth is that he wants to work with LeBron. But George isn’t alone. A [...]

Earlier in the season, much was made of Kyle Korver breaking Dana Barros’ record of a 3-pointer made in 89 consecutive games. Once he passed Barros, you didn’t hear too much about it actually. In fact, many forgot that it was even still going on. Well, that came to an end last night and Korver [...]

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but the this fan sure had the Boston crowd fooled.The hospitality staff even played California Love and put his mug on the big screen.

Earlier in the week, the Pistons front office shot down the notion of Isiah Thomas returning to the team, but that doens’t mean Joe Dumars’ job a GM is safe. This is a “what have you done for me lately” business and for Dumars, that answer is “nothing.” 2004 seems like such a long time [...]

Carmelo Anthony’s future with the Knicks has been well documented. He can join a contender at season’s end or hang around and wait for the Knicks to rebuild season after next, when guys like Kevin Love become available. According to his camp, they do not want to wait around for the latter. But what does [...]

In this age of advanced stats and efficiency, Russell Westbrook’s performance last night should top the list. OKC cruised past the tanking Sixers quite easily, in a game where they didn’t really need Russ to log a lot of minutes. In fact, he only played 21 minutes. But that was enough for him to notch a [...]

There are no tomorrows for Jermaine O’Neal. Nearly two decades into his NBA career, the 35-year-old O’Neal, playing in his first season with the Golden State Warriors, creates no illusions: This could be it. “This could be it,” O’Neal told Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group. “So this is my last chance to [...]
