Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton created a monster on February 2 when he told reporters 80 minutes before tip-off against the Golden State Warriors that LeBron James was going to sit out due to “load management.” Walton believed that James needed the additional rest when he woke up “pretty sore” the morning after the Lakers’ […]
Kobe Bryant is confident that the Houston Rockets will never reach the mountaintop as long as the team plays through James Harden and his isolation heavy style of basketball. “I don’t think that style is ever going to win championships,” Bryant told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols. “But, at the same time, you have to keep your team’s head […]
Basketball culture’s mythical “ball don’t lie” maxim is just as it implies. If there’s a questionable call, the ever-truthful Spalding will go through the hoop for the call’s beneficiary if it’s right, or will do the same for the other side instead if it’s wrong. Here’s NBA great Rasheed Wallace with an example. James Harden […]
The Houston Rockets are in the endgame now. As the Rockets sit in second-to-last place in the Western Conference with a 11-14 record, the team has explored nearly every option, including a rumored deal where they would’ve dealt a handful of future first-rounders for Jimmy Butler, and after cycling through all 14,000,605 potential trade outcomes, they have reportedly landed […]

On Thursday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Rockets returned to the negotiating table with an offer for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Jimmy Butler, signaling that Houston has […]
Saturday’s star-studded Lakers–Rockets game drew the largest overnight rating—a 2.5—since the Warriors won game No. 73 on the last night of the 2016 season. It was LeBron James’ purple and gold debut at Staples Center against perhaps the second-best team in the Association. But by the end, all anyone was talking about was the brawl that […]
LOS ANGELES—The story, Saturday, was supposed to be about LeBron James. Instead it was about a brawl that marred the home debut of the Lakers new star, set the stage for possibly some lengthy suspensions, and just might tarnish the reputation of one of LeBron’s new running mates if the allegations against him are indeed […]
