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 […]

The NBA has trotted out a series of new TV ads featuring players with their swingman double. The premise is NBA players have body-doubles to help them in sticky situations. Take Bulls’ Joakim Noah and his double who is also a dermatologist. Noah helps his double remove a mole while the dermatologist acts like Noah […]

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 […]

Well this is embarrassing if you are Bulls’ Nikola Mirotic. In the recent game versus the Hornets, Nikola was caught trying to defend Hornets’ Kemba Walker when Kemba decided to murder his ankles and send Nikola to the court. Seriously, how does one recover from this embarrassment?

Wait, that can’t be right? That says the Sixers won a game. It cannot be final yet. That is not how this thing works, right?

There will not be any sleeves this time. Nor will there be any strange two-toned or multi-colored jerseys when the NBA All Stars hit the floor at Madison Square Garden in February. The jerseys the All Stars will wear are surprisingly plain considering all the experimentation the NBA has gone through with jerseys during All-Star […]

This stat line was downright zany. One we have not really seen in quite some time. Well, except for from Kobe Bryant. Monta Ellis had it all and then some.

Gordon Hayward has been quietly biding his time to strike the ballot box for the All-Star game. Well, now it is his year and he has been playing like he really wants to be in that game where no one plays defense. He has been leading a Jazz team that is not very good, but still better […]

How much do the Oklahoma City Thunder miss Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook? Try, a lot. Oklahoma City has struggled to get anything going so far in 2014-15, and at the time of this article are a putrid 3-10. It does not look good and it should continue until the Thunder get their superstars back. […]

It is the common refrain — you either live by the 3-pointer, or die by it. Many teams have tried to build their offensive strategy around ball spacing, drive and kicks and making long-range shots. This age of analytics has put even more emphasis on the long-range shot. Of course, the Playoffs can change that […]

Spurs guard Marco Belinelli is known for his deadly three-point shooting, outside shooting and pin-point passing. But versus the lowly Sixers, Marco showed he can dunk. And I mean really dunk! While driving to the rim in the first half of game, Marco was met by Sixers’ Henry Sims but instead of passing the ball, […]
