Dwight Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers have entered unchartered territory. Never before has Howard, an unrestricted free agent, had the option of choosing where he will play. Not like this. Even when he forced his way out of Orlando, he wasn’t sent to his first destination of choice (Brooklyn Nets). For the Lakers, they’re [...]

The Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors series just got a whole lot more interesting. As if this matchup wasn’t competitive enough, Warriors head coach Mark Jackson added some fuel to the fire by asserting that Denver sent “hit men” at sharp-shooter Stephen Curry (via Royce Young of CBSSports.com): They were the more physical team, [...]

The Chicago Bulls wanted the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Badly. Why? Because they were beatable. They weren’t the Miami Heat or the Indiana Pacers or even the New York Knicks. They were the Nets. They were gutless. They were heartless. They did not pose a threat. Or so says [...]

Tony Parker feels your pain, Los Angeles. The San Antonio Spurs absolutely manhandled the depleted Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA playoffs, sweeping the boys in purple and gold. It wasn’t a competitive sweep either. San Antonio’s average margin of victory through four games was 16.3 points. The team has got [...]

Kevin Love would be a good fit on the Chicago Bulls. Cue the speculation. Since it was first reported that Love was “unsure” about his standing with the Minnesota Timberwolves, rumors of his future and what it will hold have run rampant. As one of the NBA’s premier rebounders and floor spacers, Love would be [...]

Carmelo Anthony wants the New York Knicks to exact revenge on the Boston Celtics. Badly. In 2011, Boston swept New York in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Two years later, the Knicks have the opportunity to return the favor. And Carmelo Anthony is excited. Strike that, he’s more than excited. He’s “super-duper-happy-excited” about [...]

It’s not easy trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder 2-0, but James Harden and the Houston Rockets haven’t given up hope. Houston fell to Oklahoma City in tightly contested 105-102 battle. The Rockets were down by as many as 15 in the fourth quarter, but came storming back to take the lead. But both Kevin Durant [...]

Kobe Bryant can keep tweeting during Los Angeles Lakers games. Dwight Howard said so. Following a Twitter binge during the Lakers’ loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1, Bryant swore off in-game tweeting because it was becoming too much of a distraction. The media was making too big a deal about it during [...]

Merely days after being called an overrated ball hog by the Boston Globe, Carmelo Anthony said he “relies” on his New York Knicks teammates more than most realize. Following New York’s Game 2 win over the Boston Celtics, in which he had just one assist, ‘Melo essentially rejected the notion of him being selfish. “I [...]

Mike Brown returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn’t be as big a story as LaMarcus Aldridge being traded to them. No, I’m not penning just random thoughts (though I do sometimes). The Cavaliers have or had Aldridge on the brain at one point or another. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Cavaliers have fantasized [...]
