Mavs Coach Rick Carlisle Didn’t Want to See Video of Rajon Rondo Trying to Trip Deron Williams

Mavs Coach Rick Carlisle Didn’t Want to See Video of Rajon Rondo Trying to Trip Deron Williams

Rick Carlisle doesn’t have time for anymore of Rajon Rondo’s shenanigans. Not even if they could have been potentially detrimental to the livelihood of his Dallas Mavericks. Rajon Rondo and Rick Carlisle never really seemed to get along during the former’s stint in Dallas last season, hence why he ended up off the team midway [...]

Report: Derek Fisher’s Job Security with Knicks Isn’t All ‘Rainbows and Lollipops’

Report: Derek Fisher’s Job Security with Knicks Isn’t All ‘Rainbows and Lollipops’

Derek Fisher apparently doesn’t have unconditional job security with the New York Knicks. No head coach, save for maybe Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, and perhaps Rick Carlisle in Dallas, can necessarily say that about their situation. You don’t get into the NBA coaching game if you’re looking for stability. But Fisher is only in [...]

Goran Dragic Put the Phoenix Suns on (Subtle) Blast

Goran Dragic Put the Phoenix Suns on (Subtle) Blast

Goran Dragic does not miss playing for the Phoenix Suns. Amazing how far we’ve come, isn’t it? Dragic sort of revived his career in Phoenix, permanently establishing himself as a star talent at the point guard position during the Suns’ surprising 48-win 2013-14 campaign. But then that season ended. The Suns not only re-signed Eric [...]

Derek Fisher: Knicks Players Feel Like New York is ‘Building Something’

Members of the New York Knicks are beginning to trust, or perhaps express more trust, in, well the New York Knicks. Both the players and head coach Derek Fisher waxed optimism following the Knicks’ 107-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, the team’s second in as many games, both of which have come [...]

Chandler Parsons Hurts Hip in Mavericks’ Win Over Kings

Chandler Parsons Hurts Hip in Mavericks’ Win Over Kings

Chandler Parsons just cannot seem to get right. The Dallas Mavericks swingman has struggled at points this season as he continues to work his way back from arthroscopic surgery. His minutes and appearances have been closely monitored, and his effective field-goal percentage is the lowest of his career. The Mavericks’ starting lineup has also fared [...]

Byron Scott: Julius Randle Has ‘Gotta Grow Up’

Byron Scott: Julius Randle Has ‘Gotta Grow Up’

Never accuse Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott of delivering veiled messages. You can accuse Hollywood’s head honcho of many things, including ignorance, inadvertently inconsistent messages and just general stubbornness. But you cannot say that he’s afraid to speak his mind, or that his players don’t know exactly how he feels about them, even [...]

Gregg Popovich Doesn’t ‘Give a Damn’ About Winning NBA Coach of the Month Honors

Gregg Popovich Doesn’t ‘Give a Damn’ About Winning NBA Coach of the Month Honors

Gregg Popovich doesn’t care that he was named NBA’s Coach of the Month for the Western Conference. And if the league wants him to care, it better break open its piggy bank. Because coach Pop won’t give a crap about monthly awards of any kind until they come accompanied with a car or yacht or [...]

NBA Power Rankings: So This Miami Heat Team is Pretty Good, Huh?

Oh, hello there, 2016. We almost didn’t see you come in, not with the 2015-16 NBA season unfolding exactly how it wasn’t supposed to. Sure, we knew the Spurs would be really good, even if we didn’t know they’d be historically awesome. We knew the Warriors would be great. We knew the Cavaliers would be, too. [...]

Rockets Seem Like They’ll Be Without Donatas Motiejunas for a While

Rockets Seem Like They’ll Be Without Donatas Motiejunas for a While

If Markieff Morris’ implosion with the Phoenix Suns won’t prevent the Houston Rockets from trading Terrence Jones for him, Donatas Motiejunas’ latest injury should. Motiejunas is once again sidelined with back issues, and according to the Houston Chronicle‘s Jonathan Feigen, while there is technically no new injury to report, Houston’s stretch forward-center is expected to [...]
