It’s like they always say: People with slicked back, Goodfellas-looking hair never forget. Miami Heat president Pat Riley addressed the media on Monday, during which time he, in typical Riles fashion, was candid, dropping loaded one-liners like he has a contractual quota to meet. One such quip caught the attention of just about everyone, because [...]

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

LeBron James has a sense of humor. Hopefully Kevin Love does, too. Much has been made about the relationship between these two. Most recently, Love said Russell Westbrook was having a better season than LeBron. Shortly thereafter, a report alleged that LeBron was growing frustrated with his new teammate. Before that, there were tweets like [...]

J.R. Smith would like to teach Kevin Love a lesson in teammate support. Asked about LeBron James’ triple-double performance in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Monday night win over the Detroit Pistons, Smith waxed MVP status, per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin: “Who? The real MVP?” Smith said, his message echoing to the sellout crowd of 20,562 who were [...]

Jason Kidd and Giannis Antetokounmpo aren’t communicating very well these days. Or rather, they weren’t communicating very well for one day—Wednesday night to be exact. Antetokounmpo was benched in the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and he has no idea why. From the Journal Sentinel‘s Matt Velazquez: Giannis Antetokounmpo was the only Milwaukee [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

Of all the players in the league, it’s safe to say everyone knows that Cavaliers’ guard J.R. Smith is never shy to take the big shot, or any shot really for that matter. And on Sunday night against the Bulls, Smith just took and nailed a 40-foot fade-away three-pointer to beat the halftime buzzer… Please [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

LeBron James and Kevin Love reportedly aren’t in sync. According to the New York Daily News‘ Frank Isola, LeBron is frustrated with Love and his inability to adapt to the circumstances at hand. Isola also maintains that Love is, indeed, a free-agent flight risk: Kevin Love’s future in Cleveland is more uncertain not only by [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]
