Recently fired Chicago Bulls Coach Tom Thibodeau, last seen manically cackling while coaching his team in the final game of their season and simultaneously conducting a practice, is in some trouble. Former Coach Thibs finds himself in hot water once again after his family contacted the police and filed a report that Thibs was spending far too much time with them. His father complained to responding officers that Thibs "Simply didn't know when enough was enough." he continued to say, "We all got together the day after his release from his team and stayed up very late into the night recanting stories and just generally having a good time. But then he just kept scheduling dinners, visits, lunches, brunches etc. It was just never ending." Grandma Thibodeau who has a history of injury was especially concerned saying, "I was exhausted. I just can't log minutes like I used to. As soon as I came home from our family trip to the aquarium I looked at my home answering machine and he had left a message telling me to be prepared to meet again for an early breakfast. I suggested we take a day or two off but Tommy was very adamant." Coach Thibs was very frank when questioned by the press, "Look, you don't create memories by staying home alone. Yes, it was suggested that maybe I rest my immediate family and spend a weekend with my cousins. Honestly, if you're not ready, willing and able to log some serious minutes, maybe you don't belong in this family." His mother could not be reached for comment at the time of this article as she was currently undergoing micro fracture surgery.

Record: 20-27
KeMoonBall Walker is out until early March and it may be too late in the season for an emergency tank. The success of their season (adjusted for early season disappointment) is a playoff berth and an old fashioned mollywhopping courtesy of Atlanta.
Record: 21-26
Wade is hurt but Miami will probably benefit from the dumpster fire that is every eastern conference team below .500 and get in the playoffs with ease. If not they can continue to hype Whiteside who is averaging a double double since January, but they'll be doing that regardless.
Record:25-22
Bucks are enjoying quiet success since the NBA collectively tuned them out once Jabari went down for the season.
Record: 29-20

Record: 13-35
Kobe's season is over and now the only legit reason to watch The Lakers is to see if Jordan Clarkson can become a quality back up point guard. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Record: 17-29
Record: 19-29
Record: 23-24
Earlier in the season it very much felt like a matter of who would be bumped out of the playoffs by OKC, it's slowly becoming a matter of if.

Record: 25-22
Davis is still having a great season, his team is still mediocre, his coach is still trash.
Record: 28-21

Record: 32-16
LMA hurt his thumb, Batum aggravated his existing injury, Lillard got snubbed from the ASG and Paul Allan's Seahawks ran one of the stupidest plays in sports history. It wasn't a good month for The Blazers.
Record: 33-15
Clippers had a solid run in January and climbed the standings, still not widely considered contenders, a February on the level of this past month could change that.
Record: 35-12
Memphis is still a really good team, Vince is hurt and Jeff Green replaced Prince at SF.
Record: 37-8
Klay broke the NBA's single quarter scoring record and GS won a bunch of games. Besides a loss to Utah, not a whole lot to complain about.

By AlphaSnacksYet another OT.
Yet another bad W-L typo.
Fix the Hawks' W-L, clown.
Some copy-pasta shit!
By DominicanPowerFuck The Lakers and their tanking efforts.
Single covering Melo in the post with Ryan Kelly is A+ effort.
By KingGondoThe Waiters trade seemed low-risk until I realized he's a fucking cancer.So did you just miss all of the stories and posts about how he's a cancer?
Just wait until he starts blaming Westbrook for all his problems.
Wesley Matthews, the leader in 3PT FGM probably won't be participating in the 3PT contest again, eventhough he's openly lobbied that he wants to be in it.

By Dark PhaZeI'm already at the point where I'm ready to package a pick to move Gortat
Nigga ain't shit goddamn
Amazing how he wears out his welcome eventually.
Jordan Hill was penciled as out for 2 days to 2 weeks, but that was before his quad showed no improvement as of today. Could be looking at 2 weeks +
The tank hungers for souls.

I only saw like two games worth of that and I was done.
and I watch MCW everyday.
By knux-futureI only saw like two games worth of that and I was done.I watched a healthy, healthy dose of LaVine for 40 ish games and I've seen things.
and I watch MCW everyday.
He is sub-Jonny Flynn tier.

Everything about Flynn was horrible, at least Zach has a bunch of tools..
Well, after having a Lillard esque January, Westbrook is starting off February pretty well. Has 16-10-4-3-1 at the half.
KJ is the old hotness. Grant is the new hotness,

Man, Hawes is just straight garbage. He can't hit a layup to save his life. Thank goodness for Austin Rivers.
