The NBA playoffs are almost here. Someone please explain that to most of the Eastern Conference teams please. Even those atop the standings are struggling, playing like this isn’t the most important time of the year. In the Western Conference, you have four elite teams duking it out for the final three postseason slots. Really, [...]

ESPN’s 30 for 30 series next film is the story of the Detroit Pistons ‘Bad Boys’ era. NBA fans who are long enough in the tooth to remember the physical wars between the Pistons, Celtics, Bulls, and Knicks in the 80’s and 90’s will not want to miss this premiere on April 17, 2014 @ [...]

Clearly, Larry Brown is still upset about how his tenure with the Knicks ended. There was plenty of blame to go around during his time there and he certainly deserves some of it. Maybe he was still filled with emotion when asked about the team because he let loose on SiriusXM radio. Much of what [...]

The Pistons made some key offseason moves, but that didn’t translate into any success in a year where the East is as bad as it’s ever been. Because of this, GM Joe Dumars has been on the hot seat all year since he was the architect of all of this. Dumars may step down as [...]

Whether you love or hate them, for better or worse, and if it makes sense or not, Duke is the gold-standard in the eyes of many when it comes to college basketball. Don’t shoot the messenger. Part of the reason is winning, but it has more to do with allure. Those two used to be [...]

But [...]

In doing so, he surpassed Michael Jordan (40) for 3rd all-time in this not-that-important-but-cool-to-talk-about stat. In case you’re wondering, Wilt Chamberlain is first with 80. After the game, Durant was asked about the streak and [...]

Take that, Josh Gordon. The Cleveland Browns wideout caused quite a stir when he made some pointed comments about the deteriorating relationship between Cleveland Cavaliers guards Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters During an interview with ESPN, per the Akron Beacon Journal‘s Jason Lloyd, Gordon said that Waiters told him a “rift” between the two existed.

It’s official: the Pacers have lost their way. Many complain that the regular season is too long, but I beg to differ. One of the benefits of having an 82-game campaign is to smoke out the players and teams that can’t hack the grind. Is this the case with the Pacers? Roy Hibbert has been [...]

If there is one guy that speaks before he thinks on National TV and is loved for it, it’s Sir Charles Barkley. He’s colorful to say the least, and personally I love watching his broadcast analysis. But this comment this weekend calling the viewers of Teamcast ‘idiots’ was too much. There is only one guy [...]
