Byron Scott and Nick Young better make note. This is how you handle player-coach beef. Stan Van Gundy and Andre Drummond had something of a disagreement in the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Boston Celtics’ on Wednesday night. Drummond was visibly upset and immediately isolated himself from the rest of the team. And at that [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

Nick Young and Byron Scott should probably consider couples therapy. The high-volume shooting guard and Los Angeles Lakers head coach seldom see eye to eye. The former is a freewheeling spirit, an easygoing goofball with an appreciation for shoes, smiling, contested jumpers and all things Iggy Azelea. The latter is an old school head honcho, [...]

Carmelo Anthony is doing work. No, he isn’t playing. He’s still injured. And no, he isn’t on the sidelines cheering for his teammates. There isn’t much to cheer for these days. Plus, you know, he’s afraid of suffering another injury while watching court side. The kind of work he’s doing is happening behind the scenes, [...]

Here we go again. For the umpteenth time. Rajon Rondo and the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to one another for a while now. The former is going to be an unrestricted free agent; the latter is in the market for superstars who can both get along with Kobe Bryant and usher in the [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

The idea that the Chicago Bulls would trade Derrick Rose seemed farfetched not three years ago. Now it’s just another idea. While speaking with Bleacher Report, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times alleged that the Bulls would “love” to trade their injury-prone point guard. Not would consider trading, or explore trading, or are grappling over [...]

Rajon Rondo will hit unrestricted free agency this summer, at which point he’ll be paid handsomely, signing a contract that could be worth upwards of $100 million. And he doesn’t care. Not right now at least. Rumors pertaining to Rondo’s free agency abound. Though the Dallas Mavericks can offer him more money than any other [...]

Lionel Hollins is not counting down the days until Brook Lopez leaves in free agency. It’s just the opposite. From The Brooklyn Game’s Devin Kharpertian: Lionel Hollins has been at odds with Brook Lopez at times this season. But that doesn’t mean he wants a breakup. “I don’t worry about whether he’s going to be [...]

Need a reminder of just how irretrievably crappy the New York Knicks are this season. Okay, here it comes. Per Bleacher Report’s Adam Fromal: [tweet https://twitter.com/fromal09/status/582648483322048512] Holy. Freaking. Shit. Entering Monday night, the Knicks are a very Knicks-ian 14-60. James Harden and Stephen Curry are the league’s top-two win-share accumulators; they each have more than [...]
