With the 2014-15 NBA season a fourth of the way completed, time is running out for head coaches leading underachieving squads, like, Monty Williams of the New Orleans Pelicans for instance, but essentially nobody expected the proverbial hourglass to be empty for Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Malone. But all the sand had reached the […]

Things are bad in L.A. And I mean reallllyyyy bad!
Aside from sitting at the bottom of the Pacific Division at 6-16, Kobe Bryant absolutely went on on teammates and Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak including Kobe calling out Mitch for assembling a horrible roster in a recent practice session.
Check out Kobe ripping into his team and hear when he call out Kupchak right in front of the entire team! Poor Mitch. He just stood there and absolutely was berated by Bryant.
WARNING – NSFW LANGUAGE!
I get it. Frustration may have set in for the ultra competitive Bryant but come on Mamba! How is this tirade going to help the situation?

It’s no secret that the Detroit Pistons have been a trainwreck for the past seasons as a casualty of a strangely constructed roster loaded with talent but lacking in any sort of basketball chemistry. That losing culture was supposed to change, at least somewhat, this season due to the team’s offseason hiring of veteran coach […]

What better way to embarrass children than to have their dad dance so awkward and have video of it being shown to over 15,000 people in an NBA arena.
Well that’s exactly what the Spurs did as they recently trotted out the “Awkward Dad Dance Cam,” and from the look of the video below, it is over-the-top awkward.
Imagine if this was YOUR dad shaking his booty in front of the masses. Ughhhh! Sit down dad! (more…)

Whoops! Recently, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, took in Cavs game and afterwards, got to meet the “King” himself, LeBron James. However, during a photo-op, James put his arm around Kate which apparently is something one doesn’t do overseas. In fact, it’s a huge breach of etiquette. Via Daily Mail: “Although I am […]

If there’s any team in the NBA with more bad luck it has to be the Pacers. As if losing their cornerstone player, Paul George, to a devastating season-ending leg injury, now comes word big man Ian Mahinmi will be sidelined for up to 8 weeks with a foot injury. Indiana announced in a press release […]

Golden State Warriors fans were never afraid to criticize their old coach, Mark Jackson. The frustrations that he had simultaneously taken the team forward while also holding it back never ceased throughout his tumultuous final year. Warriors owner Joe Lacob went out of his way to criticize the former coach yet again this weekend. Right […]

DeMar DeRozan is the Raptors’ All Star. OK, maybe Kyle Lowry was more deserving last year and DeRozan is a bit too inconsistent to be an All Star, his place on last year’s team more of a team honor for how well the Raptors were playing than anything else. And DeRozan is good. In this […]

The Cavaliers are all in on the All-Star Game now that LeBron is back, and the Cavs are relevant again. They have officially put their name in the bidding hat for 2018 while the Portland Trailblazers and Charlotte Hornets have done the same.

It took about a month into the season. It took some trials and tribulations. Some hard lessons learned from the young players and some teammates to get used to. The storyline followed the similar path that the Heat did when LeBron James joined the Heat. He had the experience to know to let things work […]

The Chicago Bulls should not feel very good about their performance on their latest road trip. Entering the season, the Bulls were projected by some to win the Eastern Conference. They managed a 4-3 record, but had some poor losses on the road trip. They fell at Portland 105-87 and 103-88 at Sacramento. Portland has been an elite Western […]

Their schedule may have been a little on the easy side so far to start the season, but the Atlanta Hawks are one of the Eastern Conference’s biggest surprises. Atlanta, under second-year head coach Mike Budenholzer, is 11-6 are are third in the East, and are 8-2 at home. The Hawks were a bit of […]

It is easy to look at the Warriors roster and just say “Splash Brothers.” The duo single handedly saved Golden State from a poor effort Tuesday when Curry drained three 3-pointers including the game-winner against the Magic. That is the, ahem, magic this duo can provide. They are never out of the game so long […]

Houston gets to be the butt of all our jokes. The Rockets have the talent to be a championship contender with James Harden and Dwight Howard anchoring the team and an offense that loves to spread the ball and hoist threes. The defense is also not bad, ranking third in the league with a 96.3 […]

The Charlotte Hornets are nesting at the bottom of the Southeast Division at 4-11 after a nine-game losing skid. The Hornets showed promise after ranking sixth in the NBA in total defense in the 2014 campaign. With offseason additions of Lance Stephenson, PJ Hairston, Marvin Williams and Noah Vonleh, the new-look Hornets were expected to get their […]
