Things get exhausting now much more quickly than ever before. Whereas the great NBA beefs of old could unspool interestingly over the course of years, this latest Rajon Rondo-Chris Paul beef has gone from punches (and spit) flying to maybe the NBA should go back to bed for a couple months in just under 48 hours. I…
Cranky Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo is currently serving a three-game suspension for his role in last weekend’s brawl between the Rockets and Lakers. That’s one more game than Chris Paul got, and it seems Rondo will be forced to sit out that extra game because of the possibility that he spat in Paul’s face. Enhanced…
Somehow, the events that led to this fistfight started out with wayward bozo Lance Stephenson as one of the players trying to keep the peace. When Houston’s 124-115 win was still a one-point game Saturday night, Lakers forward Brandon Ingram shoved Rockets guard James Harden in the back after a foul. As Stephenson and…
One of the funniest arcs of this NBA offseason was watching the Lakers roster coalesce around its new centerpiece, each new contract landing like a punchline. LeBron James is here now—the rest of his California-loving superteam is just dawdling, right? When does Paul George’s flight get in? Can’t Kawhi Leonard frown…
Many many years ago, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo were coworkers in Boston. Doc Rivers was their coach. They won the 2008 NBA championship together; then, later, some of them went on to work in other places. Some of them don’t really like each other. They don’t all come to each others’ life…
The Lakers have LeBron James. Good for them. They now also have a handful of guys who seem like ideal targets to absorb LeBron’s ire.

The Pelicans grabbed a vital and unexpected win in their second-round series against the Warriors Friday night, in a game that was never close after the Pelicans ripped off a 10-1 run near the start of the second half. Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday were fabulous; Nikola Mirotic got loose for a double-double on some…
The New Orleans Pelicans have a chance to sweep the Portland Trail Blazers out of the playoffs when the teams meet Saturday evening. It’s fair to say not many saw this coming, although the result will uphold at least one generally held maxim—that the team with the best player on it has the inside track to winning an…
For essentially the duration of Anthony Davis’s career, the Pelicans have been knocked for being a one-man team with precious little depth, no wing players, and little dynamism to their offense that doesn’t start and finish with Davis. The addition of DeMarcus Cousins helped allay the severity of this problem, but…
Some Kentucky all-timers participated in an alumni game at Rupp Arena yesterday. The rosters were cool—Rex Chapman and Tony Delk were on the same side as Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles—and the action seems to have taken the form of your basic All-Star game: very little defense, lots of fancy passing, your basic…
A few hours after the Bulls announced that Rajon Rondo would be out indefinitely with a fractured thumb, he managed to grab some attention from the bench in Game 3. In Chicago’s 104-87 loss to Boston, Rondo at one point extended his leg in what appeared to be an attempt to trip Jae Crowder as the Celtics small forward…
The Chicago Bulls announced this morning that point guard Rajon Rondo fractured his thumb during a Game 2 victory over the Boston Celtics, and while the injury won’t require surgery, he will be out indefinitely.
Rajon Rondo and other members of the 2008 Celtics are planning a party to celebrate the upcoming 10-year anniversary of their NBA title. For some reason, Rondo talked to The Undefeated about how the party planning is coming along, and he indicated that Ray Allen is not invited.
Rajon Rondo’s season has been a moribund slog, aside from that incredible Instagram shot at Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler, but holy smokes, look at this pass!
The Chicago Bulls attempted to halt their public meltdown on Friday and get their season back on track, but from the comments of all those involved, it doesn’t seem like it will be quite so easy.
