Roving pack of feral dogs ate all of the Suns’ homework
Having a season end the way it did for the Suns — finishing with the best record in the NBA and failing to make it out of the second round — will leave any organization aimlessly ambling around the neighborhood asking their dog where it all went wrong. The latest bit of Sean Maguire-ian “It’s not yo...

Once the NCAA Basketball Tournaments come around, the rest of the NBA season can feel like a slog.

It’s also hard to muster excitem...
Kobe on Dwight Howard: 'This shit ain't gonna work'
Anybody who watched the late Kobe Bryant’s career knows he was all business and no-nonsense on the basketball court.

Ranking the greatest college basketball championship teams of the 2010s

The Pacers' Paul George Has Gradually Exploded All At Once
After two games in Miami, it's no longer assured that the Heat — reigning champs, winners of 27 straight in the regular season, top seed in the Eastern Conference, proud owners of fans like these — are going to dispatch the Indiana Pacers quickly, or for that matter, at all.

Jalen Rose Says Tony Allen's Flop Was Worthy Of A Pulitzer Prize
When Manu Ginobili hit Tony Allen with a flagrant foul late in last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game, Allen engaged in a truly fantastic bit of theater by pretending that Ginobili's foul had caused him to slam his head against the floor. It was a flop for the ages (which doesn't change the fact that th...
