There was a recent Pop sighting in Austin. These days the winningest coach in NBA history does not often make public appearances. This one blew up on social media.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — This isn’t the first time I’ve written about how Dan Geriot isn’t used to the grind of a college basketball season. Geriot was in the NBA in various roles, including assistant coach for the Cavaliers and Pelicans, over the last 10 years. It’s an 82-game season with constant travel, few practices, […]
When Zion Williamson is healthy and motivated, there isn’t a player in the world like him, and there’s no one in the world who can stop him. Everyone knows he’s probably going left and going straight to the basket. Knowing it and stopping it are two different things. Williamson’s bizarre combination of mass, power and […]

On Sunday night, the Spurs hosted the New Orleans Pelicans. Before the game, interim head coach James Borrego spoke with the media. If his name sounds familiar it is because he served as assistant coach to Gregg Popovich twice. The first time was from 2003-2010 where he started as assistant video coordinator before working his […]
The Spurs suffered one of their worst losses of the season. Their thrilling comeback attempt shouldn’t eclipse the fact that they once again seemed to underestimate a less talented team that was a lot hungrier than they were. The Pelicans played with physicality, and their reward was a 104-95 gutsy road win that should have […]
Despite a comeback attempt that spanned much of the fourth quarter, San Antonio was ultimately waylaid by one of its worst shooting efforts of the new year. The Pelicans also showcased superior mettle and execution to go ahead by as much as 20 before holding on for the road win. Despite getting 17 early free […]

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard. And noticed. The Houston Rockets need a point guard. Although it’s not as bad as it seems. There’s a difficult path, as it pertains to acquiring an external one.

The Chicago Bulls might be… becoming self-aware? Obviously, please don’t hold your breath, but it appears team president Arturas Karnisovas , six seasons into his tenure at the franchise’s helm, appreciates midseason that his team is going nowhere. He might actually, really, be open to pivoting from his doomed roster for the second straight season — and a pair of New Orleans Pelicans frontcourt stalwarts, two-time All-Star power forward Zion Williamson and second-year center Yves Missi , could...

Jabari Smith Jr. had been slumping, no doubt. Badly enough that his poor peformances had been directly related to at least a few losses, and some fans had been growing impatient with the 22-year-old’s development. He answered some of those critics in the win over New Orleans. Smith went off for 32 points, a career-high […]

The Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic Experience might finally, mercifully be nearing its end. The former two-time All-Star’s $21.5 million salary comes off Chicago’s books this summer. So it’s encouraging to hear that Chicago is potentially in the market to add more center help this year. Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal reports that the Bulls and Indiana Pacers are both considering trades for second-year New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi.
