The Heat’s Hassan Whiteside is proving to be one of the best rim protectors in the game. He’s threat for a triple-double, including blocks, each and every night. But he often times lets his emotions get the best of him and we saw that a few nights ago. Whiteside got tangled up with the Spurs’ [...]

Here we come, NBA All-Star break. Which means here comes the NBA playoffs! More than half of the Association’s 2015-16 season is in the books, and save for a cluster of steady teams at the top of our power rankings, the league’s hierarchy knows no order. For every certainty like the Warriors, Spurs, Cavaliers and [...]

Will the Golden State Warriors be making a move at the NBA’s trade deadline? LOL. Oh, you’re serious? Well, then here’s general manager Bob Myers on the teams plans, per Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group: Bob Myers to 95.7 The Game on trade deadline "It'd have to be something unbelievable to really [...]

If the Atlanta Hawks decide to hold a fire sale leading into the NBA’s Feb. 18 trade deadline, Boston Celtics president Danny Ainge will be first in line for free-agent-to-be Al Horford. Which is perfect. Tinkering with the Celtics would be a dangerous game at this point. They have the East’s third-best record and rank [...]

Carmelo Anthony will not settle for the New York Knicks fading out of the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture after the NBA’s All-Star break. To be sure, this may not be a matter of settling. The Knicks at this point may be just too far behind the pack. They are 12th in the conference, five games [...]

Interim Kevin McHale’s replacement J.B. Bickerstaff isn’t about to sugarcoat the Houston Rockets’ season. They are a disappointment, a failure, an upside-down mess, and he knows it. He admitted as much Wednesday night, following Houston’s latest letdown against the Portland Trail Blazers, per KPRC-TV’s Adam Wexler (h/t Bleacher Report): "We're broken. It's that simple," #Rockets [...]

Three letters are all that’s needed to describe the 2015-16 Phoenix Suns season. Ugh. Now get ready for more ugh. Markieff Morris is making headlines again for all the wrong reasons. This time, it’s for his shoving and shouting match with Archie Goodwin, which took place in a timeout huddle during the Suns’ Wednesday night [...]

George Karl’s seat cushion is cooling off. All signs pointed to the Sacramento Kings firing him not 48 hours ago. Now, the Kings are Kings-ing, changing their minds in true Kings fashion. Per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein (h/t ProBasketballTalk): ESPN sources say that the Sacramento Kings, in a dramatic about-face, have decided to keep George Karl [...]

This is not the New Orleans Pelicans’ year. Anthony Davis has been banged up, Eric Gordon is injured, Omer Asik is useless, the supporting cast is underwhelming and the playoffs are officially a pipe dream. Things just can’t get any worse. Except they just did. Tyreke Evans will most likely miss the rest of the [...]

Dwyane Wade’s trip down Free Agency Lane manifested into an unanticipated issue last summer. That’s not going to happen this summer. Wade himself won’t let it, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald: Wade told me this week that he does not want to even test the free agent market and instead wants to wrap [...]
