Danny Ferry just got the GM job for the Atlanta Hawks.  The photos of him and his family are probably still in a cardboard box on the credenza in his office.  The IT guy probably has to remind him how to log on to their internal system.   But Ferry, despite having to GPS which […]

The Boston Celtics have been a constant road block for LeBron James.  He’s had a personal rivalry with Paul Pierce for years and he’s seen his playoff hopes dashed by the Celtics enough to make his distaste for anything Green understandable.  And last night on Twitter, after the Celtics selected Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger with […]

Bernard James spent six years serviing his country as a member of the Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Last night, the center out of Florida State lived a dream by getting drafted 33rd by the Cleveland Cavaliers (he will go to Dallas as part of a trade).  And the Prudential Center crowd was well […]

The Houston Rockets have sent forward Chase Budinger to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the 18th pick in the NBA draft. That gives Houston the 14th, 16th and 18th picks this Thursday.

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Miami on the verge of a title The Miami Heat, and LeBron James, are just one game away from an NBA Championship.  The Oklahoma City Thunder are a game away from a killer offseason with a […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Miami finishes like a champ, OKC doesn’t When you’re fighting a team that can match all your physical tools and even win a few of the matchups against you, you need to come up with some other […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Slow start dooms OKC Think about this.  When a team beats another by 16 to 20 points, it’s considered a blowout.  So when the Thunder got down 18-2, they now faced the daunting task of having […]

I feel like Cleveland Cavaliers fans and Seattle Sonics fans should meet somewhere in the middle (anyone South Dakota know of a really huge sports bar?) and commiserate over the hatred they each feel in this series.  For Sonics fans, it’s watching Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden potentially win a title that should […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  OKC’s big comeback You wouldn’t see a re-incarnted Sun Tzu penning basketball strategies that include being down 13 at any point in an NBA Finals game, but the Thunder never quite seemed uncomfortable with their deficits […]
