Things are beginning to take shape for all-star weekend in a few weeks. While we don’t yet know who will be participating in the game, we now know the coaches. The Warriors and Hawks and the best teams record-wise in the West and East. Therefore, Mike Dudenholzer and Steve Kerr will serve as head coaches. [...]

There’s something truly zany about the 2014-15 NBA season. It’s been weird. It’s still weird. It’s truly, utterly, completely, wholly, wonderfully, purely, perfectly zany. Allow me to offer up Exhibit A: These here power rankings. Collective movement is neither enormous nor insubstantial. There is virtually no change at the top. But then we get into the [...]

During the most recent NBA lockout, the owners hung their collective hat on the fact that they felt they weren’t profitable enough and the players were asking for too much. Since then, the NBA’s brand has grown and the league is as popular as it’s been in a while. Forbes recently assessed the value of [...]

From the moment we were introduced to Shawn Marion’s funky shot release, we knew he had to be talented to make it as far as he had with a shot like that. Shawn was drafted in 1999 and has enjoyed a very fruitful career. But this may be the end of the line for Marion, [...]

For the majority of the all-star game, guys aren’t particularly playing as hard as they could. It usually intensifies as we get into the fourth quarter. With the Rising Stars Challenge, intensity also gains as the game nears the end and is probably why the league is considering altering the format of the latter. It [...]

The Raptors are young, and crazy athletic. One of their fearless forwards James Johnson not only can jump out of the gym, but apparently he can do backflips as well. This guy is scary athletic for his size. #WeTheNorth #GoRaps Man of many talents @broke_3 ???? #WeTheNorth A video posted by Landry Fields (@landry2fields) on [...]

As is the case when player switches teams, Dion Waiters hasn’t been holding back on his feelings towards his Cleveland days. He had issues with guys on the team last year, and that seems to have only grown since LeBron returned. But now that he’s in OKC, he sounds a lot happier as you can [...]

Don’t look now, but the Bulls have lost six of their last eight games. Every team is allowed to hit a rough patch, but Chicago was thought to be the best team in the East. While there’s still plenty of season left, they will need to right the ship soon. And Derrick Rose, for one, [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies have been quite remarkable this season at 29-12, placing them at the third spot of the wild Western Conference. But despite this, the team is still looking to add improvements to the current roster and have been closely looking at a number of free agents who could contribute to the team. That [...]

If what we’re all about to read is true, the Miami Heat are being weird. In a bad way. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says that free-agent point guard Nate Robinson, who began this season with the Denver Nuggets and was then traded to the Boston Celtics and released, reached out to the Heat.
