Denver Nuggets

Ty Lawson’s previous DUIs seem like a lifetime ago, but he still hasn’t been punished by the league. Even though he’s in Houston now, the NBA has come down and suspended the PG for two games for his past transgressions. Houston Rockets’ guard Ty Lawson has been suspended for two games without pay for driving [...]

Our power rankings introduction is, for one week only, about to change. Most of the time, we wax distasteful snark that recaps all of the NBA’s major happenings over the past week, an approach aimed at teaching a crash course in almost everything you need to know. This week, though, you only need to know one [...]

I’ve got a secret. Can you keep it? Cool, because here it is: The Warriors are fire. Crazy, right? But not really. Some other crazily un-crazy things to consider: The Spurs have been in “God” mode since 1997; the Cavaliers are the most disappointing title contender at the moment; the Pacers do not miss Roy [...]

When he was acquired by Houston from Denver, Ty Lawson was thought to be that one piece to bring the Rockets over the top. Sure, Patrick Beverley is a more-than-serviceable PG, but Lawson is widely thought to be much more dynamic. However, the Rockets have struggled severely this year, and Lawson’s not to blame. So, [...]

More than a month into the 2015-16 NBA regular season, everything is just as we thought it would be. LOL, jk. Much about the league’s landscape does make sense. The Warriors are godlike. The Spurs are right behind them. No one in the Eastern Conference can touch the Cavaliers. Not much else makes sense, though. [...]

Things got weird in the Denver Nuggets’ loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. Late in the game, Nuggets head coach Mike Malone exchanged verbal jabs with both Blake Griffin and his own rookie, Emmanuel Mudiay. The two incidents kind-of-sort-of happened simultaneously. First, Malone received a technical for getting into it with Griffin [...]

Come one, come all, you’re just in time to take part in the first NBA power rankings of the holiday season! This is big stuff, I know, so we’ll get right to it. A lot is happening now that the 2015-16 season is hitting its stride. The Warriors are still the Warriors; the Pacers are [...]

Who can stop the Golden State Warriors? The defending champions continued their impressive run this season after emerging victorious yet again last night at Pepsi Center, beating the Denver Nuggets, 118-105. Klay Thompson and Stephen led the way for the Warriors, as they combined for 40 points (15-of-32) that included seven buckets from beyond the [...]

(Bitter)Sweet mother of all that’s cruel and inhuman and just plain sucks. Anthony Davis is injured again. On Nov. 10, Davis left the New Orleans Pelicans’ lone win of the season, a victory over the Dallas Mavericks, with a hip injury. He would miss two games, both losses, before returning to the lineup against the [...]

It seems that someone forgot to tell the Houston Rockets that the NBA’s 2015-16 regular season is underway. The early part of 2015-16 has no doubt been weird. Some of the usual juggernauts are juggernauting, but this year’s landscape is rife with early-season underachievers, the fast-plummeting Rockets being among them. Can Houston regain its 2014-15 [...]
