Ty Lawson’s previous DUIs seem like a lifetime ago, but he still hasn’t been punished by the league. Even though he’s in Houston now, the NBA has come down and suspended the PG for two games for his past transgressions. Houston Rockets’ guard Ty Lawson has been suspended for two games without pay for driving [...]

Sorry, Isaiah Thomas. It doesn’t seem you’re cutting the mustard as the Boston Celtics’ go-to scorer. Of course, this is all according to an unknowing Danny Ainge, who by no meant to maliciously insinuate as much. The Celtics have consistently been linked to trades for superstars—specifically DeMarcus Cousins. That’s what happens when you’ve amassed as [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ process just got a whole lot more…interesting. Mike D’Antoni is now the associate head coach of the NBA’s worst team, his first official gig since leaving the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of the 2013-14 season.

Earlier this week, Michael Scotto of Sheridan Hoops reported that the Celtics, Chicago [...]

On Saturday night, when the Milwaukee Bucks ended the Golden State Warriors’ reign of perfection, they were predictably excited. Here was a young Bucks team that had struggled all season overthrowing the best squad in NBA history. That’s quite the accomplishment, even during a regular season in the middle of December. So yes, they were [...]

As the Oklahoma City Thunder continue their Western Conference climb, for the moment settled in the territory just behind the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs, their top priorities are split. Of course they want to win a championship now. That’s been the goal for years. The core of Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka [...]
