What time is it? NBA power rankings time. A lot has happened since we last met. All-Star rosters were finalized. The Warriors refused to lose. The Suns refused to let Jeff Hornacek keep his job. The Cavaliers found their mojo. The Bulls forgot how to score. The Spurs unleashed Kyle Anderson. The Knicks proved they’re [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are not the Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, but they’re trying like hell to keep pace with them. And they’re doing a pretty good job. Oklahoma City has spent most of the season vacillating between being the third- and fourth-best team in the league. If and when the Thunder [...]

Kevin Garnett has no qualms with Minnesota Timberwolves interim head coach Sam Mitchell. He may be in the minority. Still, what the 39-year-old forward is saying matters. The Timberwolves essentially employ him as a player coach—that powerful voice and steadying presence who commands respect in the locker room and the ears of young stars. What [...]

When it comes to the Boston Celtics’ haircut game, head coach Brad Stevens doesn’t hesitate to give his stamp of approval.

It didn’t take long for people to start talking about them surpassing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins. The Warriors won 67 tilts last year, were talking about winning [...]

Jodie Meeks won’t be taking the floor with the Detroit Pistons anytime soon. The 28-year-old guard hasn’t played since October 28 as he continues to recover from a broken right foot. And now, when it appeared that he might be nearing a return, Meeks must shut it down, per MLive.com’s David Mayo: Jodie Meeks’ fears [...]

Watching the Los Angeles Lakers just became a lot less fun. It’s hard enough to watch them as it is, what with Kobe Bryant’s swan song dictating the ebbs and flow of the NBA’s second-worst offense. But it’s going to be nigh unbearable now without the super explosive Larry Nance Jr. to provide the occasional [...]
