The future is bright for the Milwaukee Bucks. As for the now, however, that’s not going so well. Heading into the Feb. 20 trade deadline, Jason Kidd’s team sported a solid 30-23 record—a vast improvement on the franchise-worst 15-67 mark suffered last season. There was little reason to make any changes to the roster. Now, [...]

Craig Sager returned to his rightful place courtside in the NBA tonight for the Bulls hosting the Thunder in Chicago. Sager has been sorely missed by NBA players, coaches, and fans alike over the past year as he has been battling cancer. Craig announced over the all-star break that he felt he was getting close [...]

The Miami Heat gambled when they traded for Goran Dragic, because he seems poised to fully test the open market this summer when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Despite the risk, Dragic is saying all the right things in terms of wanting to remain in Miami long-term. Worth noting that Miami will be able [...]

JaVale McGee to the Boston Celtics? He wouldn’t. Not with him ostensibly negotiating a buyout with the Philadelphia 76ers just so he could play on a postseason-bound team. And they wouldn’t. Not with McGee’s track record, a resume rife with injuries, conditioning issues, inconsistent play and, at times, apparent mental lapses. Well, McGee would. And [...]

March 4, 2015, isn’t a day that will live in infamy, but it certainly was an eventful night around the association. From Anthony Davis etching his name into franchise lore to Russell Westbrook continuing his full-on domination of everyone and everything that steps in the way, some illustrious memories emerged from four NBA superstars. To [...]

The Denver Nuggets fired Brian Shaw, and neither Kevin Garnett nor David West is okay with it. West played under Shaw while he was an assistant with the Indiana Pacers. Shortly after the news broke on Tuesday, he was asked to respond. And so he did. Per Vigilant Sports’ Scott Agness: [tweet https://twitter.com/ScottAgness/status/572822756879945728] But David, [...]

The way Russell Westbrook has been playing over the last few weeks is not human, not from this world. He’s a man on a mission to single-handedly propel the OKC Thunder up the standings in the Western Conference. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if the Thunder finish anything better than 8th [...]

Josh Smith spent nine seasons in Atlanta before ultimately signing in Detroit. That’s a long time and you’d think a player would develop a connection with a fanbase during that time. Not the case, however, for Smith. The Rockets visited Atlanta to take on the Hawks last night and Smith was soundly booed each and [...]

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 [...]

Someone in the capital of the United States needs to pick up the red phone and call for an emergency response unit, but it’s not President Barack Obama. The Washington Wizards are a mess. And it’s time to panic. Tuesday night, Washington managed to fall short of the Chicago Bulls—who were playing without Derrick Rose, [...]
