Carmelo Anthony is blind. You knew he was frustrated, what with the New York Knicks losing at warped paces. You knew he was probably even hardened, deadened to the fact that the Knicks are this listless and browbeaten one season after winning 54 games. But I bet you didn’t know he was blind to 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 [...]

Kevin Love is really good at pointing out the obvious. During an interview with GQ‘s Steve Marsh, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2015 free-agent-to-be was of course asked about his future, which was of course tied to the Los Angeles Lakers, so of course Love was forced to address the issue and of course his response was [...]

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.

Or, more [...]

Congratulations everyone! We haven’t forced you to slog through Dwight Howard- and Los Angeles Lakers-centric drama in quite awhile. Like all good streaks, though, this one too must come to an end. Now. Before returning to Los Angeles for the first time since signing with the Houston Rockets in free agency, Howard was naturally asked [...]

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 [...]

Shawn Marion 35-year old 4-time All-Star Shawn Marion has made about $10 million [...]

This one’s all about you. No, not you, Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith. I know you’re reading, but this isn’t about just you. It’s about all of you, the fans. Imagine the worst version of yourself; the absolute most-insufferable supporter of your favorite NBA team. Then times it by 10. Or more. That’s what [...]

Jalen Rose is a funny guy. An interesting guy. Most of all, Jalen Rose is a man unafraid of making bold proclamations. During halftime of the Knicks-Lakers game Sunday, ESPN’s on-air personality did just that. Speaking on Carmelo Anthony’s impending free agency, this Rose made it clear he thought ‘Melo should join another Rose—Derrick Rose. [...]

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 [...]
