I’ve always been opposed to “one-and-done” players. I’ve never liked that guys go to one year of college, just because they’re required to before entering the NBA draft. Especially as a Texas Longhorn fan, it sucks to watch your team get blown up after every season because so many guys are leaving for the NBA. […]

Now that the series is over between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony can go back to being friends. The two NBA superstars have known each other for a long time, and while they’ve built a solid rivalry over the last couple years, off the court, they’re best […]

For years Dirk Nowitzki has been the face of the Dallas Mavericks. He’s one of the greatest players of all time but no one can be on top forever. The Mavericks showed this year that they won’t be able to repeat the magic they had last year unless they get some help. Mark Cuban has […]

Earlier this year, Steve Nash issued the ultimatum to the Phoenix Suns that they had to get better or he’d be gone. Even though the Suns have a good amount of cap room to work with in this offseason, they have to make the decision of whether or not it’s even worth it to possibly […]

What a difference a year makes. Around this time last year the Dallas Mavericks were headed to the NBA Finals after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now their offseason has already begun after getting swept at the hands of that same Thunder team. The Thunder did not change their team all that much, they were […]

After an uninspired Game 1 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the odds were stacked against the Boston Celtics in Game 2. They had to play without their star point guard Rajon Rondo, who was, in my opinion, the only guy who played well for the Celtics in the first game. But they managed to steal […]

After the worst season in NBA history, the Charlotte Bobcats don’t have people busting down their door wanting to be the next head coach. In fact, they may not be able to fill that position for a while, because they may not even want to right now. The Bobcats have a lot of potential to […]

After the Los Angeles Lakers held the Denver Nuggets 16 points under their season scoring average of 104 points per game in Game 1 of their seven game series and Andrew Bynum had one of the best defensive playoff performances of all time, Nuggets head coach George Karl says it was all because Bynum cheated. […]

There is still a lot of basketball left to be played in the first round of this year’s playoffs, but you can learn a lot from the first game. I had the pleasure of watching the opening game of every series this weekend, so here are a few quick thoughts. Chicago Bulls lead Philadelphia 76ers […]

The New York Knicks were already getting blown out by the Miami Heat in Game 1 of their 7-game series. To add injury to insult, Iman Shumpert left the game with a non-contact knee injury that looked just as bad as Derrick Rose’s earlier in the day. Shumpert was dribbling up the floor with the […]

Phoenix Suns fans made it clear during the last game of the season that they want Steve Nash to finish out his career with them. The “We Want Nash” chants and all the signs were a heartwarming sight, but unfortunately sentimentality doesn’t always get you what you want. The Suns have a lot of decisions […]

Anyone who watched the San Antonio Spurs’ playoff collapse last year has to be weary of late-season injuries. Manu Ginobili was injured in the last game of the season and the Spurs weren’t able to recover and lost to the 8th-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. Miami Heat fans must have […]

The more I see Ron Artest’s elbow to James Harden’s head (and I’ve seen it at least 200 times now), the angrier I get and the more I think his suspension was justified. Maybe even too soft. I was watching the game live when I saw it happen, it looked vicious then but with each […]

In the wake of Ron Artest’s (yes, I am reverting to the old name) flagrant elbow to James Harden’s head, Sports Illustrated has released their list of the NBA’s 15 dirtiest players. SI asked 146 players to name the person they thought was the dirtiest in the whole league, not including teammates. Topping the list […]

All but 1 of the playoff teams are set, so it’s time to start analyzing the matchups and trends going into the postseason. We’ve all seen how important momentum is when competing for a championship. There are some teams who are headed into the playoffs on the right foot and some who are spiraling down, […]
