Don’t worry, Dante. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have your back. The NBA sphere has been abuzz with anticipation since Dante Exum, a 6’6″ guard out of Australia, declared for this summer’s draft. He’s expected to go in the top five, and scouts value him for all sorts of reasons—his improving jumper, athleticism, first step, [...]

Kevin Durant has given Russell Westbrook the All-Star nod. Well, sort of. It was a half-assed nod, really, but a nod nonetheless. Before the Thunder took down the Heat 112-95 on Wednesday night, Durant was asked if Westbrook should be an All-Star, to which he responded yes. From Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman: The All-Star [...]

Judgment day has arrived. Kind of. Halfway through the 2013-14 NBA season, most of us feel like geniuses. We know stuff now, you see. Real stuff. Important stuff. Which teams will make the playoffs for sure? We know that. Which teams are absolutely terrible? We know that, too. Why exactly is the Eastern Conference reaching [...]

That stench wafting through your home and into your oversized nostrils is coming from the NBA. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint what it actually is, we’re above confusion: it’s clarity. We’ve reached that point of the year where the Association’s happenings finally make more sense than whatever outfit Robin Thicke is wearing these days.

To an extent, LeBron himself is there now. Or rather, he should be. [...]

Moments like these are weird. You know the kind. Awkward, mean, pessimistic—the whole nine yards. This particular one has everything, courtesy of the Dallas Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki. Following Dallas’ loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Nowitzki’s frustration culminated in a brutal admission, according to ESPN Dallas’ Tim MacMahon: “It’s a game we can’t lose,” Nowitzki [...]

Smith suggests the struggling Knicks should send future free agent forward Carmelo Anthony to the Los Angeles Clippers in return for Blake Griffin, but here are 3 really good reasons you don’t pull the trigger on that trade if you are the Los Angeles [...]

Every so often a story comes around that’s so heartwarming while also bizarre. This is one of those times. According to The Commercial Appeal (via The Score), the Memphis Grizzlies’ Tony Allen is auctioning off the shoe he was wearing when he kicked the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul in the face. One word for [...]

Addition by subtraction. Depletion by addition. That’s been the NBA’s prevailing theme this season. So many teams aren’t where they’re supposed to be. And I mean so many.
