The Atlanta Hawks backcourt has become pretty crowded of late. They have two PGs who are both more than capable of starting in the NBA. Jeff Teague generally starts, while Dennis Schroeder usually finishes. The latter has made it clear that he’d like to start for a team, whether it’s the Hawks or not. It [...]

Larry Bird’s unexpected and uneventful coaching search came to an end Monday morning as the Pacers have announced they are promoting assistant coach Nate McMillan to their head coaching position.

One game after setting a new career-high with 48 points in a 108-97 win over the Pacers on Saturday, Cousins followed up his record performance with an even better performance Monday night against the Charlotte Hornets. He scored 56 points to go along with 12 rebounds and four assists on 70 percent shooting in a [...]

Last night, the officials stole the show in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Questionable calls went both ways so you can throw the conspiracy theory notion out the window.
