Brandon Jennings is back on the court following his rehab from a torn Achilles tendon. But that court happens to be the D-League. He voluntarily chose to begin his return to the court in the D-League before returning to the NBA. It’s actually a smart choice as a way to shake off the rust. However, [...]

Brandon Jennings is not for sale. Well, no more so than anyone else on the Detroit Pistons roster. Marc Berman of the New York Post posited that Jennings was “available now,” a development that Pistons coach and president Stan Van Gundy has since denied, per MLive.Com’s Aaron McMann: The New York Post on Sunday identified [...]

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 [...]

Back in 2007, two years removed from his divorce with Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant wasn’t happy with the Los Angeles Lakers and demanded a trade. That much is common knowledge. It’s been talked about and re-spun three times over for nearly a decade, and it’s bound to be rehashed now that the Black Mamba plans [...]

Brandon Jennings is making progress toward a return from the Achilles tear he suffered last season. His return just isn’t imminent. Detroit Pistons head coach and president Stan Van Gundy offered up the following cryptic timeline for Jennings’ ongoing recovery, per USA Today‘s Jeff Zillgitt: Return for Pistons G Brandon Jennings not imminent, Stan Van [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Is runner-up fatigue a thing? LeBron James sure thinks so. Championship fatigue is a more accepted phenomenon. It’s when reigning NBA champions struggle to find inspiration and drive and the motivation to play at full tilt every night following their title-toting campaign the year before. Health plays a part too, since extensive postseason pushes take [...]

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 [...]
