This is kind of awesome. P.J. Tucker of the continuously surprising Phoenix Suns was fined $5,000 by the NBA for his second flopping offense, the league announced on Wednesday. Video of his flop can be seen below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNOwlxIi2kI Funny thing about Wednesday, though: It was also the day before the NBA’s Feb. 20 trade deadline, [...]

Take that, Iman Shumpert’s market value. The New York Knicks’ third-year injured shooting guard was dangled just about everywhere leading up to the NBA’s trade deadline. Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline came and went, however, and Shumpert was left with the Knicks (and still injured). Shumpert’s continued presence wasn’t for lack of trying to ship [...]

We have long since reached the point where Kobe Bryant holds his tongue. The man simply says what he wants regardless of the consequences. So when his teammate Steve Blake was traded to Golden State, Kobe did what Kobe does: commented on it publicly. Bryant took to Twitter to voice his displeasure. Not cool with [...]

The Warriors aren’t playing around. With the trade deadline looming, they’re tightening up their roster to make that much anticipated playoff run. To that end, the team traded for veteran PG Steve Blake from the Lakers to add depth to their backcourt. But of course, salaries played a part on both sides. The Lakers began their rebuilding [...]

Unforunately, he and Denver coach Brian Shaw never saw eye to eye. That’s part of the reason why he’s now a Wizard. In Washington, [...]

The Hoop Doctors’ Kevin Burke had a chance to sit down with reigning Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard, Harrison Barnes, and Tim Hardaway Jr. in New Orleans during All-Star Weekend. The most important question of all, ‘What is your favorite NBA All-Star moment of all-time?’. Not surprisingly all three answered the Vince Carter Dunk [...]

It’s almost here. No, not real life pocket-sized lightsabers. Those are still a ways off. The NBA trade deadline. That’s what almost here. Thursday at 3 p.m. ET , the deadline will come to pass, at which point, the Association’s power structure could experience a seismic shift, inciting disorder into an already-crazed season. Or, more [...]

Congratulations everyone! We haven’t forced you to slog through Dwight Howard- and Los Angeles Lakers-centric drama in quite awhile. Like all good streaks, though, this one too must come to an end. Now. Before returning to Los Angeles for the first time since signing with the Houston Rockets in free agency, Howard was naturally asked [...]
