After a long drawn out five-week process to name all of the NBA’s awards and honors for the 2015-16 regular season, the All-NBA teams has been announced. The All-NBA 1st Team features league MVP Steph Curry, the guy who is outplaying him in the conference finals in Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Lenoard, LeBron James and DeAndre [...]

As I watched the Cavaliers completely obliterate and embarrass the ever confusing and bi-polar Toronto Raptors in Cleveland in Game 5, it became pretty clear to me that this has potentially been the most lopsided postseason in NBA history. There have been eight games decided by 30 or more points in the 2016 NBA Playoffs [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have won six of their past 7 playoff games by an average of 15 points per victory. That’s an impressive stat or accomplishment for an NBA team in the increased stakes and high level of competition of the NBA Playoffs. When you consider that run of dominance has come against two [...]

Two NBA head coaching vacancies remain: the Houston Rockets’ and Memphis Grizzlies’ positions. Soon enough, though, the Rockets may stand alone, as the only team in the league without a head coach. Because the Grizzlies, for their part, seem enamored by Miami Heat assistant David Fizdale, who has been brought back for a second interview, [...]

Kevin Durant is not immune to doubt and fear. It’s understandable if you thought otherwise, given the way he performs on the basketball court, displaying almost an effortless-looking greatness. But contrary to what his size and length and skill set implies, he is human. And as a human, he was naturally scared for his NBA [...]

Should the Oklahoma City Thunder pull off the unthinkable and squeak past the Golden State Warriors to reach the NBA Finals, their success, while incredibly impressive, might come with an asterisk. Because they’ll have beaten a humanized Stephen Curry. The two-time MVP is playing through this series despite, apparently, favoring the right knee he injured [...]

Even though the Boston Celtics haven’t been rebuilding for long, they want the rebuild to be over. That tends to happen when you emerge as a low-key Eastern Conference contender not three years into your reinvention. The Celtics have picks, prospects, trade-friendly contracts and cap space. That’s a lethal combination. It’s led many of us [...]

With LeBron James set to opt out of his contract this summer, you knew free-agency rumors, however seemingly farfetched, were coming. You just didn’t expect this. Typical chatter would have him bolting Cleveland if the Cavaliers failed to win a title. But ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith delivered a different message entirely, per Dan Feldman of [...]

During the Golden State Warriors 133-105 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night, Draymond Green was assessed a Flagrant 1 for kicking Steven Adams in the groin. And that may not be the end of it. Here’s a clip of the incident courtesy of SB [...]

The Raptors played quite possibly their best game of the postseason, at least their best game in weeks Saturday night in Toronto to effectively save their season and give them the opportunity to make this a series in Game 4 Monday night. They may have just gotten an extra boost in that pursuit today, a [...]
