The western conference showdown that has felt destined for much of the NBA season has finally arrived, the Warriors vs the Rockets for the chance to go to the NBA Finals. Both juggernauts punched their tickets to the western conference finals on Tuesday night closing out the Jazz and Pelicans in five games respectively. The [...]

Kyle Lowry is not taking the Toronto Raptors’ second-round sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers very well. Sure, his team won a franchise-record 59 games during the regular season. And yes, they snagged the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed. But he views the entire campaign as pointless in the aftermath of their third [...]

The speculation factory wasted little time putting Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey on the hot seat. His name, in fact, was thrown onto the hypothetical chopping block before his team even submitted to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4. According to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, certain executives around the league believe Toronto will move [...]

You doubted LeBron James’ supporting cast this season. Admit it. You did. We all did. How could we not? Especially during that Indiana Pacers series? They were bad. They were terrible. Kevin Love couldn’t find the bottom of the net. George Hill wasn’t healthy enough to play. Head coach Tyronn Lue could not find a [...]

David Fizdale was wanted a man. Before accepting the New York Knicks’ head coaching position, the 43-year-old apparently had an offer from the Phoenix Suns that he turned down, according to The Athletic’s Michael Scotto: [tweet https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/992161955468271621] The Suns would go on to hire Utah Jazz assistant Igor Kokoskov—a solid choice in his own right.

Here are his full thoughts, [...]

If the Oklahoma City Thunder have their way, Paul George (player option) will re-sign with them in free agency. If they really have their way, he’ll be returning to a team that doesn’t include Carmelo Anthony. From Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: Keeping George in town has been the underlying goal since before the season started. The [...]

Stan Van Gundy will be back with the Detroit Pistons next season—unless he’s not open to change. Van Gundy’s future with the franchise was considered up in the air by year’s end. The coach-president yet again failed to guide his team into the playoffs, all while piecing together an intractable payroll and saddling them with [...]

Victor Oladipo is coming off one helluva season. He averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and a league-best 2.4 steals per game while slashing 47.7/37.1/79.9 in his first year with the Indiana Pacers. His performance in the first round against the Cleveland Cavaliers was touch-and-go at times, but his transcendence largely translated to the [...]

Boston sports fans are known as some of the most passionate and aggressive sports fans in the country (and they love to tell you about it). They were out in full force on Monday night to support the Celtics in Game 1 of their 2nd round series with the 76ers and may have contributed just [...]
