Presented with minimal commentary, here are the 10 worst uniforms in NBA history. The challenge was not to rank any of these rank uniforms in the back half of the top 10 (or bottom 10, as it were). So many of these uniforms look like top-3 contenders. How can one separate one piece of trash […]

With the majority of the moves from the NBA offseason all wrapped up, I’ve decided to give some sort of award to all 30 teams. We will go in A-B-C order. Atlanta Hawks Best Sequel Award (or so they hope) The problem with going for sequels is the second movie typically isn’t as good as […]

With all eyes glued to “Emojigate” on Wednesday afternoon, the Orlando Magic announced that they’d be resting their three most important Summer League players for the final two games of the tournament. Arguably the MVP of the Orlando Summer League – don’t forget, we have summer action taking place in Utah and Las Vegas this […]

Here is a look at how the lottery played out in the 2015 NBA Draft team by team. 1. Minnesota Timberwolves: Kentucky center Karl-Anthony Towns What does it mean? The T’Wolves have one of the more interesting young cores in the NBA. Towns brings some necessary spacing from one of the big positions because of […]

Thursday is fast approaching, which means it’s crazy season in the NBA: The draft is two days away. Below are trades that make some sense for both teams. To be clear, these are my wild ideas, not anything to do with actual sourced information or DeMarcus Cousins “snakes in the grass” emoji combos. I actually […]

Being lost in my own mental shuffle of the NBA Playoffs, I guess it is better late than never. When the Orlando Magic hired Scott Skiles a few weeks ago the NBA community met it with all the sighs in the world. An underwhelming hire by most standards, for sure, but people seem to be looking at […]

Texas is, of course, football country. Houstonians desperately hoped to see their Oilers (Luv Ya Blue!) beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the late 1970s and make their way to the Super Bowl with coach Bum Phillips and star running back (and University of Texas product) Earl Campbell. The city would surely rejoice in any pro […]

The Orlando Magic have again hired one of the franchise’s former point guards to lead the team, but this time, Orlando went with one with previous head coaching experience. On Friday, Scott Skiles was introduced as the team’s 12th head coach. An original member of the Orlando Magic, Skiles averaged nearly 13 points and over […]

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 […]

Thus far in the 2014-2015 NBA season three head coaches have lost their jobs. Mike Malone, formerly the Kings head coach, led the way followed by Orlando’s release of Jacque Vaughn, and most recently Brian Shaw in Denver. George Karl quickly filled the Kings’ coaching hole, but Orlando and Denver stay committed to their interim […]

The Orlando Magic has decided that it will keep interim head coach James Borrego in that same position through the end of the year. After firing Jacque Vaughn, the Magic were putting out feelers for potential coaching candidates, but decided to take the time to find a good fit and bring in a veteran coach […]

According to USA Today’s Jeff Zillgitt, the Magic are looking to unload forward Maurice Harkless. A player the Magic are willing to deal for mininmal return, I’m told, is forward Moe Harkless, whose minutes have dropped each season w/ORL. — Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt)

A Thursday night contest between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls is the only thing keeping basketball fans from the All-Star break. While teams like Atlanta, Toronto, Golden State and Milwaukee have certainly overachieved at the break, there’s been a number of underachievers through the first 50-plus games as well. Here’s a look at five […]

Elfrid Payton, who garnered many Rajon Rondo comparisons, started off his NBA career somewhat disappointingly. In Payton’s first two months in the NBA he averaged almost 6 points, 6 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1 steal per game while shooting 34% from the floor. In the month of January, Payton put together close to 11 points, […]
