The Los Angeles Clippers are absolutely infuriating. Yes, infuriating. I personally spent a large chunk of the NBA offseason criticizing their roster and many of the moves they made; I simply didn’t believe they were a contender, or even a viable powerhouse for that matter. But then the season began. Los Angeles was 8-2, Chris [...]

Last night, the Orlando Magic further lifted the fog on just how brittle the Los Angeles Lakers have been looking. Yes, the short end of this story is that the Magic won a game through the efforts of an all too convincing final period. Kobe Bryant had another monster game (34 points, 7 rebounds, 5 [...]

Their record doesn’t reflect, but the Los Angeles Lakers are still an NBA powerhouse to be feared. After Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard led the Lakers to a loss at the hands of the Howard-less Orlando Magic Sunday night, Los Angeles dropped below .500 for the fourth time this season. Obviously, for a franchise with [...]

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is currently both an NBA outlaw and, well, one helluva coach. Prior to the Spurs’ road game against the Miami Heat, Popovich made the decision to send Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, and even sharp shooter Danny Green, back to San Antonio to rest. This was a [...]

Rajon Rondo is failing as the leader of the Boston Celtics. Coming into this season, never before was there so much talk of Rondo being Boston’s end-all, the one who would keep the Celtics’ cause intact. And subsequently, never before has Rondo been more of a disappointment. Statistically, the point guard has been sound. He’s [...]

Looking at the Brooklyn Nets’ record, it’s difficult not to get excited. Brooklyn is currently 10-4 and sitting atop the Atlantic Division—they have their victory over the New York Knicks to thank for that. So why not get excited? This is the team’s first season not only in the Barclays center, but together in general. [...]

The Dallas Mavericks get set to add 38-year old Derek Fisher to their roster. The one time Laker has been out of the league to start the season, but it looks like he’ll be suiting up for head coach Rick Carlisle. “I think his leadership will help,” Collison said of Fisher. “He’s a veteran guy [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire’s name has become synonymous with disappointment. A sheer uttering of his name, in fact, is enough to send most New York Knicks fas into a comatose state. And you know what? We can’t blame them. Stoudemire was everything and more than the Knicks imagined he’d be during the early goings of the 2010-11 [...]

The Sixers’ Jrue Holiday is playing like the elite point guard that Philadelphia has been waiting on. With Andre Iguodala departing via trade and Andrew Bynum continuing to linger injured on the sideline, Holiday’s role became critical this year. The former UCLA Bruin has also said that he hope for “serious consideration” for the All [...]

What in the hell is going on with the Golden State Warriors? Somehow, essentially without the likes of Andrew Bogut and Brandon Rush, Golden State finds itself atop the NBA’s Pacific Division. In case you’re wondering, that’s the same Pacific Division that houses both the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. So, I repeat, [...]
