The Philadelphia 76ers haven’t been able to maintain the hot start they jumped out to at the beginning of the season. At one point they were 18-7 and it looked like they were going to run away with the Atlantic Division. Now they’re 29-25 and if they don’t get it together quickly, they may miss […]

I wonder if DeAndre Jordan and the rest of his Clippers teammates would change their tune after last night’s game against the Lakers. Jordan claimed before the game that while the matchup was important, the “Battle for L.A.” was just an important game with some playoff implications, and there’s no rivalry there. “Honestly, I don’t […]

For years people have wondered when Steve Nash’s back was finally going to get the best of him and he’d have to call it quits. Even if his back still gives him some problems, he’s far from retirement. The Phoenix Suns’ veteran point guard leads the NBA in assists and he’s put his team in […]

Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy may need to get his eyes checked. After Friday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, SVG accused Mavericks’ center Brendan Haywood of punching Dwight Howard in the back. I’ve seen the play in question, and I didn’t see anything. Haywood and the Mavs’ coaching staff feel the same way. “I […]

With Jeremy Lin out for the rest of the season to have surgery on his damaged knee, “Linsanity” has come to a close in New York, at least for now. Odds are that the Knicks will do everything they can to have Lin back next year so the cash keeps on flowing, and they definitely […]

Steve Nash has said for a while now that he wants to retire as a Phoenix Sun. He has a great deal of loyalty to the organization, his teammates and the fans, but now the 38-year-old point guard is changing his tune a little bit. “I am not going to come back to the Suns […]

Defense wins championships. Right? Isn’t that the old saying? Well if that’s the case, Mike D’Antoni has been doing it wrong for a decade. He got close once. In fact, he was one Robert Horry hip check away (still bitter) from the possibility of a ring with the Phoenix Suns. Then all his talent slipped […]

It seems like everyone has written off Los Angeles Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro. After a 3-game losing streak, including a tough one at New Orleans, there were reports that Del Negro had lost the team and it’s not a question of “if” he gets fired, it’s “when.” But hold your horses, Del Negro […]

In the NBA, you have guys like LeBron and Kobe and Dwight Howard that you know are going to be coveted by every team in the league and play until they’re ready to retire. You also have the guys that hop from team to team, struggle to make the rosters and work their butts off […]

Even though the Chicago Bulls are 5-1 since point guard Derrick Rose went down with a groin injury, I doubt there are any Bulls fans out there that are not wishing for the reigning MVP to return. The Bulls have performed admirably in Rose’s absence, even pulling a win out against the Miami Heat and […]

I have found the Fountain of Youth! It has to be in Phoenix, right? How else can you explain Grant Hill? A guy who spent most of his 6 seasons in Orlando out with ankle injuries starts playing for the Suns and suddenly he’s almost indestructible and playing like he just got out of college. […]

It’s been a rough year for Washington Wizards forward Andray Blatche. He missed more than a month with a calf injury, his numbers are down, he’s lost the respect of the hometown fans and now his coach is sitting him until he gets back into shape. The Wizards tried unsuccessfully to move Blatche before the […]

A few weeks ago, when the Los Angeles Clippers created a media frenzy by asking their biggest (or at least their most recognizable) fan to essentially “back off,” I took the side of the Clippers. While it may have seemed ridiculous to some for the Clippers to ask Darrell Bailey to no longer go by […]

It must feel great to get out of D.C. The Washington Wizards’ tiny little sailboat was sinking fast and along came the Los Angeles Clippers’ yacht to throw out a life preserver to Nick Young. Time to sail to more peaceful waters. Young described his trade to the Clippers as “a dream come true.” No […]

After five seasons in which he only played 82 games, Greg Oden’s time with the Portland Trail Blazers is up. The Blazers officially waived Oden yesterday to make room for their new trade acquisitions: Jonny Flynn, Mehmet Okur, Shawne Williams and Hasheem Thabeet. It’s been a rough five years for the Blazers. After drafting Oden […]
