Chris Paul And The Rockets Were Never Going To Fight Anyone

An Inactive D'Angelo Russell Got A Tech For Clapping From The Bench
We have even more evidence that the league-wide relationship between NBA players and officials is becoming increasingly untenable.

Mike D'Antoni To Blake Griffin: "Fuck You"
Things got chippy at the end of the Clippers’ win over the Rockets on Monday, and at the center of it all was Blake Griffin. The L.A. big man eventually got ejected for a little tie-up with Trevor Ariza, but before that, he got some hate from Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni....
Carmelo Anthony After Russell Westbrook's Ejection: "I'm Done With The Refs"
Russell Westbrook got ejected from Monday’s Kings-Thunder game with just one very sudden traveling call. With under three minutes to go in the game, Westbrook drove and thought he got fouled. He went down holding his face, but only drew the traveling violation from referee Matt Boland. When Westbroo...
The Warriors Still Look Unstoppable
For the second time this season, a Cavs-Warriors holiday game didn’t give much hope that any team but Golden State could win the NBA title this year.

Ben Simmons And Kyle Lowry Plan To Meet In Tunnel After Ejections, Deny Any Actual Meeting
Ben Simmons and Kyle Lowry were both ejected with less than 10 seconds to go in today’s Raptors-Sixers game.

Sleepy DeMarcus Cousins Pays Dearly For Passing Ball To Wrong Team
In the opening minutes of today’s Knicks-Pelicans tilt DeMarcus Cousins found himself in an awkward spot, loading up a pass to teammate Anthony Davis just as Davis shifted inside, and as defenders Enes Kanter and Kristaps Porzingis closed in to deny the action. Sunday afternoon basketball is sometim...
Markelle Fultz's Shoulder Is Healed But His Jumper Is Just As Busted As Ever
We’re at the point, now, where practice court videos of a close-to-healthy Markelle Fultz taking unbearably bad-looking jumpers are just sad and infuriating. What the fuck happened? Who did this? Who can I yell at, right now, about what has happened. Anyway, God, look at this:...

A lingering sore spot for your New York Knicks, who’ve spent most of the last month sucking and losing, is point guard: Frank Ntilikina might one day be the answer at the NBA’s most important position, but right now he’s a wildly inefficient offensive player playing backup minutes behind, of all peo...

Now The Doomed Clippers Are Missing The Indestructible DeAndre Jordan
DeAndre Jordan hasn’t missed a game due to injury in his entire 10-year NBA career, a pretty remarkable streak for anyone, let alone a gigantic behemoth of a man. That streak has now ended: Jordan suffered an extremely nasty-looking ankle injury Thursday night against the Kings, and is not playing i...
