NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls & Jimmy Butler Playoff Bound Again
The Chicago Bulls needed Jimmy Butler back to stop the losing and to put themselves back within the top 8 in the East. It worked, even if it has a lot more to do with Doug McDermott feeling very comfortable against the Toronto Raptors.

Jeremy Lin Completely Ignored as the Charlotte Hornets Get Schooled
The winning streak ends for the Charlotte Hornets, at home of all places, losing 107-96 to the Dallas Mavericks as Steve Clifford continues to ride Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum into the ground, while Jeremy Lin seemed to be under the direct order of being on the floor but not intervening in anything.

NBA Scores & Standings
Business as usual for the Golden State Warrior as they make it to 60 wins while the Cleveland Cavaliers lose to the Utah Jazz, the Chicago Bulls stun the Toronto Raptors, the Dallas Mavericks stop losing against the previously red hot Charlotte Hornets while both the Washington Wizards and the Houston Rockets enjoy blowout wins […]

Jeremy Lin Optimism, Charlotte Hornets Late-Season Push & Playoffs on the Horizon
We don’t like to overreact and over analyze (I hope) but this is a slow news day, so it’s not too bad of an opportunity to try and see if Jeremy Lin shooting a little bit better and getting a few more minutes which is rare on this Charlotte Hornets run, means his standing within the rotation and team hierarchy is any different.

NBA Rumors – Cleveland Cavaliers & LeBron James Sometimes Erase the Doubts
While the common perception of the Cleveland Cavaliers is of a very good team that just isn’t going to be good enough to win the NBA championship unless one major upset happens in the Western conference, some of their performances this season, with LeBron James at the helm and those around him doing just about enough of the right thing, makes it seem like maybe they should be taken more seriously.

In a rather quiet Sunday NBA-wise (maybe due to selection Sunday) the Cleveland Cavaliers stood out with their impressive performance in Los Angeles against the Clippers, Giannis Antetokounmpo keeps showing he can do everything on the court and the Los Angeles Lakers sink a little bit lower at the hands of another disappointing team, the […]

NBA Rumors – Golden State Warriors Transformed When Draymond Green Gets Into it
The remarkable comeback by the Golden State Warriors in their fourth quarter onslaught on the Phoenix Suns wasn’t surprising or special at all. Stephen Curry scored the points, but once again, all of it wouldn’t have been possible without Draymond Green.

NBA Rumors – Thunder Can’t be Champions, Even With Durant & Westbrook
The loss to the San Antonio Spurs was a classic Oklahoma City Thunder moment of realizing that no matter how good Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are as players, the team built around them just isn’t going to win an NBA championship.

NBA Rumors – Houston Rockets a Dead Team Walking
Making the playoffs or not, the Houston Rockets, with the concept that puts James Harden at the heart of this team, aren’t going to win a championship or even come close. Everything happening now is just basketball redundancy. A team wrongly put together, with players that can’t wait for it all to fall apart, and go their separate ways.

NBA Rumors – Dallas Mavericks Stuck in Mediocrity, the League’s Worst Sin
And the Dallas Mavericks are at .500. Again. And it seems their inability to become more than just a good team and make some sort of impact in the playoffs is going to be part of their M.O for this postseason (if they even make it) and next season as well. The attempt to build a championship team in the final years of Dirk Nowitzki on a court is failing miserably.
