You play every day — or every other day. So the only way to get it back is to come out aggressive [and] keep pushing. That’s all I can do.” Miles’ situation is compounded by the fact that coach Tyrone Corbin’s regular rotation includes four other wing...

The Wizards got within 64-54 on a layup by JaVale McGee with 10:08 left in the third. Harris then hit a running jumper, Millsap followed with a three-point play and Jefferson's steal set up Gordon Hayward's 3-pointer that bumped Utah's lead to 72-54. ...

Wouldn’t it be best to have Hayward keep that style of play on this team…he’s already our best passer on the team. Maybe the system should be tweeked a bit to fit Hayward skill sets, and have the young bigs compliment him in the future once the vets are...

The Charlotte Bobcats have been absolutely pathetic so far this season and it wouldn't really surprise me at all if an elite college team like the Kentucky Wildcats could steal a game from them if the NBA and NCAA somehow decided to let that happen. I...

LAKE CITY — Even when the Utah Jazz were on a hot streak earlier this season, outplaying expectations and climbing as high as No. 2 in the West, Raja Bell couldn't help but be concerned. Sure, the standings were fun to look at and their record sparkled.

No doubt you have heard about this Jeremy Lin character coming out of nowhere to lead the New York Knicks to six straight wins, the latest via buzzer-beating 3-pointer. Unfortunately, his out-of-nowhere ascent has come after the close 2012 NBA All-Star...

Oklahoma City and San Antonio. With the Jazz starting just 1-5 during a two-month road test that will see the team play 22 of 34 games away from ESA, players aren’t content with the calm, big-picture approach Corbin stuck to Tuesday after watching the...

As a result, the Rockets need a ball-handler to spell Lowry (over 34 minutes per game) and keep him fresh. If he can keep his head on straight, Iverson could even act as a mentor (gasp) to a Philly kid (Lowry) who probably grew up idolizing him. Raja...
