Here’s our take on how the league looks going into the new season, and how you can expect it to play out: 1: Which teams helped themselves most in free agency? […]

In a world of uncertainty, it’s still nice to know some things remain constant. The sun will rise, the sun will set, and Matt Barnes will be a dick on the basketball court. Back in August, Barnes punched a guy in some random summer league game. Last night, Barnes drew the ire of the […]

A year ago today, I would have been shocked if many casual NBA fans or ANY non-NBA fans could pick Kris Humphries out of a lineup. It’s amazing what marrying a Kardashian can do. Humphries has gone from relative obscurity to, according to a new poll, the most hated man in the NBA. Humphries […]

The Golden State Warriors backcourt combination of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry can put up points in a hurry. As far as offense goes, you’d be hard pressed to find a more explosive duo at the 1/2 spots. But because of two very different issues, the Warriors may be facing serious problems with each of […]

It didn’t look right at all. Chris Paul dribbling up court with that bright red jersey on made me almost wonder if the New Orleans Hornets had made a horrible Christmas uniform mistake. But then, in the second quarter, this happened. And with that, the CP3 era with the LA Clippers was born. […]

It might be hard for people to remember how good Peja Stojakovic and Antonio McDyess were. It might be hard for some younger folks to look at the ends of their careers and remember the All Star appearances, McDyess’ 20/10 seasons or Peja’s dead-eye shooting. Today, both Peja and McDyess decided to hang ’em up, […]

There was a moment a couple of weeks ago where the Los Angeles Lakers looked like they’d not only swung a trade for Chris Paul, but they’d left themselves enough assets to at least make a run at Dwight Howard. Today, Paul is a Clipper and the Howard talks have been shelved. And that has […]

No really, they’re ecstatic. I’ve seen prisoners happier to get their jumpsuits. If you photoshopped a newspaper into Al-Farouq Aminu’s hands, you’d get a hostage photo. How about a little enthusiasm fellas?

One team made a move last night that could help vault them to a title in 2012. And no, it wasn’t the Clippers. The Chicago Bulls brought Richard Hamilton on board with a three-year deal (two of which are guaranteed) worth about $15 million to help shore up an offense looking for some help on […]

In the early morning hours in Madrid, Spain, Rudy Fernandez packed his bags and prepared for the nearly fifteen-hour flight to Denver when he received an unexpected call from his new head coach. George Karl explained to Fernandez everything was going to be alright with the Denver Nuggets, with Karl already carving out a “Sixth […]

The Chris Paul deal is finally done. And rather than gripe about the farce that led to this, it’s time to move forward and look at what this means for each team. The New Orleans Hornets lost a superstar. When that happens, you lose the trade. But the final verdict on this trade won’t come […]

Nene is a nice player. Last season he averaged near career highs of 14.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game for the Denver Nuggets. His PER was a career high 20.4, right in the Al Horford range and fifth among centers. That season made him quite the sought-after commodity. In fact, the New Jersey Nets […]
