When Chris Bosh speaks out, the Miami Heat know they’re in trouble. Following Saturday night’s letdown loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, Bosh unleashed on his team, questioning their passion, per ESPN’s Michael Wallace: “I haven’t heard nothing, just nothing,” said Bosh, who took his routinely constructive criticism to a new depth Saturday. “We just [...]

March Madness, here the NBA comes. While many of you remain transfixed on your television screens, waiting to see how long it takes before Wichita State gets screwed by vengeful and begrudging bracketing practices, some of us still care about the NBA. And its playoff race. And whether or not LeBron James can win another [...]

Three cheers, eight fist-pumps and infinite twerks for movement. The NBA is rife with movement this week. Goliaths fell, Davids ascended and the enfeebled experienced success. Translation: It’s been weird in the NBA lately. (Spoiler alert.) (Seriously.) (Don’t read what comes next if you don’t want to ruin the below contents.) (I’m not joking.) (Okay, [...]

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 [...]

The NBA’s Eastern Conference is good, man. Just kidding. It’s awful. All kinds of awful. The most awfullest thing ever. Picture the worst meal you’ve ever ate. Then envision yourself eating said meal alongside your most insufferable ex. And then imagine what it would feel like if that meal and rendezvous took place in the [...]

Welcome to the rest of  the NBA season. With the All-Star break in our rear-view mirror, things are starting to get serious. They’re heating up. The Heat are heating up. Playoff berths and positions are on the line as the Association prepares for the latter quarter of its campaign. And so is lottery order, which [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy (almost) NBA All-Star Weekend everyone. Something is in the air, and it’s not love. Well, maybe a little bit of love. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, after all. Most of what you’re sensing, though, is more chaos. Although the top-most teams remain relatively consistent in their performance, the mediocre and bottom-feeding outfits [...]

Ladies and gentleman, meet Roy Hibbert, All-Star behemoth and resident party pooper. Indiana Pacers teammate Paul George accepted an invite to participate in the NBA All-Star Weekend’s dunk competition, going against Hibbert’s wishes. “I don’t think Paul should do it to tell you the truth,” Hibbert said, per the Indianapolis Star‘s Candace Buckner. “He’s doing [...]
