Man, the Milwaukee Bucks are glad to have Andrew Bogut back and his return couldn’t have come at a better time. Before Tuesday nights 106-103 win over the San Antonio Spurs, Milwaukee had been beaten down in the thick of a 0-5 road trip out west, and with Bogut missing four of those games due […]

Mike D’Antoni can rest easy, because Flip Saunders has officially taken over sole ownership of NBA coaches on the hot seat after the Sacramento Kings relieved Paul Westphal of his duties late last week.

The third time isn’t the charm for Stephen Curry.

 When Nate Robinson arrived to play with the New York Knicks in 2005, you couldn’t wipe the childlike grin off his face all season long.  No one gave him a shot to make it to the NBA, yet here he was coming off the bench for Larry Brown (and later Isiah Thomas) and putting up […]

The Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association have cut NBA point guard Patty Mills for what the team deemed a  “fake injury”, despite MRI scans revealing a hamstring tear.

Russell Westbrook dodged the media on Wednesday after his dust-up with Kevin Durant during the second-quarter timeout that has  hoops blogs around the world talking about the beef. Instead Westbrook used his own Twitter account to speak volumes with a one-word    post Thursday afternoon: “Mindset.” Hours later before the Oklahoma City Thunder tipped off against […]

This isn’t your uncle’s Indiana Pacers. Long gone are the days of Reggie Miller, Rik Smits, Mark Jackson, and the Davis Boys. They’ve since been replaced by the likes of Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert, David West and Darren Collison and there probably isn’t a more slept on 2-0 team in the NBA right now than […]
