Oh yes, Matt Barnes apparently went there. During the Los Angeles Clippers’ Game 2 loss to the Houston Rokcets on Wednesday night, Barnes apparently had some not-so-nice-things to say to James Harden’s mom. Here’s the lowdown, per ESPN.com’s Calvin Watkins (h/t ProBasketballTalk): I've been told Matt Barnes talked smack to James Harden's mom during the [...]

Jimmy Butler came out of nowhere for the Bulls this season. He went from relatively unknown, to all-star and now the league’s Most Improved Player. If now for Butler’s emergence, who knows where the Bulls would’ve been this season. The NBA announced Thursday that Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler has been named the league’s Most [...]

Joe Dumars did great things for Detroit basketball while he was in the front office, but his departure didn’t end on great terms as it seems he was run out of town. But Dumars still has the itch to get back in with a team. He’s a Louisiana native and the Pelicans have gauged his [...]

Look at Mark Jackson; a successful NBA coach who was let go of reasons that had nothing to do with his team’s performance. Might the same be the fate for the Bulls’ Tom Thibodeau? The Bulls are finally healthy for a [...]

In spite of a first-round exit from the playoffs courtesy of the Chicago Bulls, the Milwaukee Bucks were one of the biggest surprises this season as no one expected them to even make it beyond the regular season. But, they proved us all wrong. One of the key reasons for their unexpected success is their [...]

The playoffs don’t feel right without the San Antonio Spurs. After watching the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets square off in the Game 1 of the second round, it feels even more wrong. The Spurs belong in the postseason, deep in the postseason, competing for titles and legacies and as many “Holy shit did [...]

Yes, the Washington Wizards jumped out to a 1-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks. No, they won’t be basking in that victory for long. Or at all. As they prepare for Game 2 in Atlanta, the Wizards push forward, cautiously no doubt, knowing that both John Wall and Bradley Beal. First we have Wall’s [...]

Throughout most of the 2014-15 season, nothing much changed in LeBron James’ game, he is still a beast and nightmare match-up for league defenders. In terms of appearance however, there was a slight change, his signature headband which he stopped wearing in games. It was on March 7 this year that James ditched the headband [...]
