The season keeps getting more and more frustrating for CP-3. He wishes management would’ve at least called him up before giving the axe to his head coach: “Paul wasn’t happy with the decision, and he certainly wasn’t pleased with being caught off guard by the announcement...

You and I knew it would happen. We probably didn’t even have to look at the Hornets’ 3-6 record to know Bryon Scott was on thin ice. It’s an unwritten physical law of the NBA: He who wins Coach of the Year shall be fired within two seasons. It happened...

Attracted to the goofy, wild hair, weak beard and childish energy, I’ve always been a fan of Joakim Noah. But watching him combine his athleticism and crazy — becoming a consistently productive NBA player — has not been easy.

They seem to think so, after the apparent no-call on the game’s biggest play: “The Nets received a fair whistle in Wednesday night’s 82-79 defeat against Philly, but the officials took the fifth on the biggest play of the game: a gorgeous spin-back drive from Brook Lopez...
