The Hawks have been healthier than most teams, for which they must be thankful. Atlanta is one of three teams that boasts a starting lineup which has appeared in more than 50 games this season. Unlike the Clippers (Blake Griffin) and Warriors (Andrew Bogut), Atlanta hasn’t lost a starter for any extended period of time. […]

Before two MVP candidates in James Harden and Russell Westbrook matched up Sunday afternoon, Grantland’s Bill Simmons had a lot on his mind about the Thunder trading away James Harden. .

The regular season is coming to a close and the start of the NBA Playoffs are upon us. While the game itself is more perimeter-oriented than in most previous years, a number of teams will need big postseasons from their big men to ultimately make a run deep into the playoffs or at a championship. […]

Hey take it easy there Joakim. During the Bulls-Cavs game, the ball was to be inbounded by Chicago’s Joakim Noah but the Cavs’ LeBron James didn’t want to give up the ball to Noah as he was jawing with the refs. Noah didn’t take too kindly to James not giving up the rock. So he started […]

Look I get it. With no Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook is the main guy for the Thunder, but does he really need to take it to extremes and not even help a teammate when he is asking for help? Against the Grizzlies, his teammate was on the court, putting his hand out to Westbrook, hoping […]

Now this is a teammate! After the Spurs’ huge win over the Nuggets, Tim Duncan was addressing the media when guard Cory Joseph noticed No. 21 needed to look a little more fresh. Mainly, he needed his hair to be touched up a bit. So like any teammate would do, Cory decided to comb Duncan’s […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Nick Young, or Swaggy P as the public knows him, will likely miss the rest of the season because of a fractured left knee. Young suffered the injury on February 22nd against the Boston Celtics and the injury has not made much progress healing. He’s missed the last 20 games and […]

Hey fellas! Same team! Same team! Against the T-Wolves, the Magic’s Tobias Harris and Aaron Gordon were trying their best to secure the ball and fight for a rebound. Just one thing… they were not fending off Wolves players from getting the board… they were fighting each other. I guess that’s why coaches like to […]

File this under “answered prayers.” Detroit’s Reggie Jackson found himself trapped by Bulls’ Joakim Noah and the shot clock down to just mere seconds. So what does Reggie do? Oh just make a bucket underhanded as if it’s not a big thing! That’s a shot I would have saved for H-O-R-S-E, buddy.

Indiana Pacer forward Paul George is set to make his return on Sunday as he announced on his Twitter account: Despite not playing all season — George sustained a compound tibia-fibula fracture during a Team USA intrasquad scrimmage in August — George decided he needed to get back on the court and get some run before the […]

The Warriors’ Leandro Barbosa reminded the NBA he still has the speed to break down defenses and be a one-man wrecking crew on the fastbreak against the Suns. While going coast-to-coast, Barbosa made Phoenix players look like cones as he knifed his way to the rim for the “and 1.” However, as if that tasty […]

Houston Rockets’ guard Patrick Beverley has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2014-15 NBA season, including the playoffs, after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. On the surface, this looks like a devastating injury, kind of like Wesley Matthew’s season-ending injury in Portland, but it shouldn’t be. Yes, […]

Houston’s Terrence Jones recently threw a block party, but only one person was on the invite list and on the V.I.P. list… the Kings’ Carl Landry. But this was the kind of block party Carl probably wish he didn’t attend. In one defensive sequence (let me repeat in one sequence) Jones blocked Landry’s shot attempts […]

Hmmmm. Yeah, does the Warriors’ Klay Thompson know how to play defense? Against the Clippers, Klay was kind of stuck between a couple of L.A. players and apparently didn’t know what to do on defense. So like any other player, he just kind of scampered around the court, arms wide open just looking like he […]

The Warriors, the best team in basketball by a large margin, beat the Clippers on Tuesday, 110-106. It was a tantalizing affair, perhaps a preview for an outstanding second round matchup this May. In the second quarter, Steph Curry, who may have actually attended Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, pulled off this fancy maneuver […]
