Sacramento Kings

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]

Looking to identity and subsequently acquire what’s missing in your life? You’ve come to the right place. NBA power rankings are here. Before we begin, there is one housekeeping note: What follows is not the direct result of records alone. There will be lottery teams ranked higher than playoff teams and everything in between. Power [...]

Thou shall fear no evil, because the NBA power rankings are here to save the day. It’s been forever since we last saw each other. Like, a whole week or something. A lot has happened since then. The Warriors are clearly tanking, trying to avoid a first-round dance with the Thunder; the Nuggets fired Brian [...]

You don’t usually see these kinds of highlight reel plays by a big man, or more importantly being made at all by anyone. But on Sunday night’s 110-99 road win over the Kings, Blazer’s center Chris Kaman was featured in the top highlights of the night by sinking one crazy reverse no-look layup that was [...]

After taking care of the Los Angeles Clippers, 90-87, last Monday night, the Memphis Grizzlies had quietly recorded the 3rd best record in the NBA this season at 42-16 (72.4%), just behind the 47-12 Atlanta Hawks and the 45-11 Golden State Warriors. In that hotly contested game, Chris Paul powered the Clippers on both ends [...]

Goodbye, All-Star discussion and NBA trade deadline. Hello, playoff race. It’s that time of year again. The focus is on the playoffs and various position-jockeying that’s going on. This week we have a lot of movement to cover, from the Blazers’ slump, to the Spurs’ mounting cankers, to the Thunder’s improbable surge, to the Sixers [...]

Stand up, folks. Stretch. Bend. Flex. Make old-folk noises. The NBA trade deadline is finally upon us. This implies two things: First, real, live basketball is about to begin again. Fist-pump it up. Second, the rumors are flowing like vodka and tequila and gin and rum and whiskey during J.R. Smith’s weekend-long vacation from the city of Cleveland. Navigating those [...]

It’ll still be a long while before we witness the resurgence of the Boston Celtics—as a lot of major changes and key acquisitions are necessary for them to rebuild. But the question on everyone’s mind in Boston is, ‘where do we start’? Who should be the first target? Obviously, an established, but young star is [...]

Let us toast the Sacramento Kings for always staying aggressive no matter what. George Karl was officially introduced as Sacramento’s new head coach on Tuesday, so that was a pretty big deal. Also a big deal: The Kings are interested in trading for Arron Afflalo of the Denver Nuggets. Per Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher: [tweet [...]
