So that was fun…for some teams. The 2014 NBA draft lottery is over. Finished. Kaput. Next stop, the NBA draft. Well, first we need to finish the Conference Finals. And crown an NBA champion. Then it’s on to the NBA draft. Here are some thoughts for each lottery team, along with their draft position, on [...]

Folks, you made it. Congratulations. The NBA regular season is over. It’s done. Finished. Finito. And good riddance. Don’t get me wrong, this season was crazy. Downright exciting. But it also sucked. It sucked so freaking hard. More than it’s sucked in the past few years. Did it rival the 2011-12 lockout-truncated season? Shit, I [...]

Things are getting tense in the NBA. Months of playing and winning and losing and tanking and contending and injuries and comebacks and other stuff have come down to this: two-plus weeks of season-defining basketball. Some teams are battling for postseason seeding. Others are fighting for playoff survival, looking to snag a last-minute berth. A [...]

Kevin Love’s free agency is more than a year away, yet it feels like he’s hitting the open market tomorrow. Why? Probably because his future is being picked apart from every different angle imaginable. One day he’s headed for the Los Angeles Lakers. The next day he could stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The day [...]

Put your trust in this week’s edition of NBA Power Rankings. With the regular season drawing to a  close, it’s really time to start putting things in perspective. Quite randomly, I stumbled upon the idea to develop an unpolished trust meter for every team, good and bad, tanker and contender, the Philadelphia 76ers and San [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
