The NBA’s Eastern Conference is ugly. The NBA’s Western Conference, meanwhile, is pretty flipping fantastic. This will now conclude the portion of the article where we talk about anything besides the 76ers’ suckitude. Well, not really. There are loads of other things to discuss.

From Goran Dragic to Rajon Rondo to Kevin Love to LaMarcus Aldridge to DeAndre Jordan and others, this upcoming summer will be awash with available talent. Slowly, [...]

There’s a lot for the NBA to be thankful for this time of year.

Good thing two superheroes in Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani, neither of whom has played this season, are on their way back. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: [...]

He’s been enduring this pain since their 95-90 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 30. But last Tuesday night, in their 117-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, things got a little worse as [...]

Holy crap, the Warriors are good. I could stop there, because that’s all you need to know. They’re taking over the NBA one game at a time, and assuming health, won’t be stopping anytime soon. Nor will I, because you deserve more than some pre-rankings Warriors-loving. So with that in mind, here’s a choppy portrait [...]

Nice calves. Dude, where’s your pogo-sticking vampire squid? The Spurs are interested in making a free-agency splash. Those are all things you don’t hear everyday. Lucky for you, today is not everyday. No, you don’t have nice calves. Get over it. And if you have a pogo-sticking vampire squid, hit me up on Twitter or [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]
