The Los Angeles Lakers have created the perfect mess. One of the two most storied franchises in professional basketball — once a model for the rest of the NBA and pro sports at large — is now so utterly incompetent that a historically awful season has not become the most humiliating and depressing problem on […]

With a tie score and the clock running down, Jimmy Butler took matters into his own hands and got surprisingly wide open against the Pacers. Then he drained a short jumper to take the lead with just seconds left in the game….

Late-season NBA games should not be painted with the same brush. You could certainly comb through NBA history and find late-season games (Game 70 or later out of 82) which broke ties to determine a top-two seed in the playoffs, altering the balance of power in one half of the NBA postseason. You could just […]

It’s not news to a single soul in the NBA: Derrick Rose hasn’t been what he once was, and he’ll never return to that glorious stage of his career. Repeated injuries have taken away the explosiveness which made Rose a singular force in professional basketball. The ability to throw his body into contact with such […]

The Dallas Mavericks had been losing a lot lately, but who could blame them? The Mavericks faced a tough trip to Portland last Wednesday. They flew to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors on Friday. They put up a decent fight, but the Warriors are the Warriors, and they still haven’t lost a game […]

There aren’t many good reasons to think the Chicago Bulls, currently in a state of free fall, can make the Eastern Conference playoffs and avoid humiliation. The Atlanta Hawks are one of them. We emphasize the word “good” here, because it owns a double meaning. The Hawks are a good reason why the Bulls are […]

Everyone who follows the NBA knows when the 2015-2016 Detroit Pistons first made a very large impression on the league. It was the second Sunday night of the season — Sunday, November 8, 2015. The Pistons trailed by 13 at the start of the fourth quarter in Portland against the Trail Blazers. Then they made […]

It never ends with LeBron James. To be fair, LeBron could prevent some of the fires of controversy and soap-operatic drama from burning at the edges of his daily NBA life. He could have refrained from unfollowing the Cavs; he could have not socialized with Dwyane Wade last Saturday in Miami; he could do a […]
